NO HOPE FOR THE
CONSERVATIVES
Latest Returns from the Elections in
Great Britain Show Liberal
Victories Everywhere.
MAJORITY OVER ALL so FAR
NO SEAT HAS BEEN FOUND FOR
BALFOUR.

London, Jan. 16.-The laborites and
liberals, as a result of yesterdays cleo
ton at NewcastIe-on-Tyne each gained
a seat Both these seats formerly were
held by uniOnists with majorities of
1000 and 5000, and the force of the
anti-unionist blizzard can be gagged
by the fact that the result which was
announced this morning gives the sue
ceSsful labOrite and liberal contestants
majcrities of 1000.
The batch of unopposed returns made
public this morning make the total to
date: Liberals, 103; union1Sts, 80; Irish
nationalist, 81; labOrites, Is; social
lists. 1.
American Successful.
Sir Charles Dixie, in the Forest Of
Dean division of Worcestershire, and
Colonel SaUnderson in North Armagh
were among the members of parliament
reelected today without opposition. ].
II. Seaverns, the American, formerly
of Boston, Mass, has been successful
in capturing the Brixton division of
Lambeth, London, for the liberals.
Ten more natOnaliSts and another
labOrite were elected unopposed in the
course Of the afternoon, making the
natiOnallStS total Il and labor 10. In
cluded in the former figures is the cleo
ton at Wicklow of James O'Connor,
who was prominent in the Fenian
movement, and who, with O'Donna
Rosa was convicted in 1855 or treason
and felony and sentenced to seven
years penal servitude. No seat has
yet been found for A. J. Balfour
Could Not Be Shaken.
The commercial heart of the limited
Kingdom remained faithful to the
unionist cause, the city of London re-
turning A. G.. Gibbs and Sir Edward
Clarke with large majorities, approx
mating 10000 over their liberal oDpo-
nents. Some of the other conservative
London districts, like Westminster and
provincial seats, like Oxford, where the
working class population is small, man

votes and discontinue of the unionists
who did not gain a single seat in to-
days balloting, but lost twenty-five to

Liberal Gain of 80 Seats.
The solitary unionist gain at Hast
fngs since the elections began is met
by a combined liberal and labor gain
Of eighty-nine seats. The elections in
London aid Liverpool have not gone so
heavily in favor of the liberals as did
those at Manchester, but several seats
were won In London and two at Liver
pool. In most cases, however, the
unionists retained their seats with
greatly reduced majorities.

WILD RIDE ENDS
IN CATASTROPHE
BOb-Sleigh Loaded With Ore BUSHES
Down Big Cottonwood
Canyon.
HORSES DASHED TO DEATH
DRIVER sUsTAINs SERIOUS IN.
JURIEs-BURIED FOR HOURS.

John II. Walker of Union, was sled
ding ore down Big Cottonwood canyon
yesterday when the tongue broke and
for a mile the b9b-sled loaded With
four tons of ore dashed at q. madden
ing speed down the steep, rugged road
carrying the horses and driver with
it at Shoots Dugway the point of
the tongue plOwed though the soft
snow into the roadbed. The hobs Jack
knitted into the air. hurting Walker
thirty feet up the mountain side into
a snOw-bank. This was all that saved
his life, but he sustained a broken hip
that may necessitate the amputation
Of his entire limb. One horse was
crushed beneath the runners and the
other was thrown down an embank-
ment thirty-hve feet to his death.
For several hours Walker lay help
less in the snow where he was thrown
The other teamsteTs who came down
saw the scattered ore and the demOl-
ished sleigh strewn along the road
Walker called to them for help and he
was carried and placed on the sleigh.
One Of the men went on down the can
yon with Walker and took him to the
Murray general hospital His injuries
were attended to by DR. A A Bird.
His condition was regarded as serious
last night, but it is believed that he
will recover.
Escape Considered Remarkable.
The men who came down the can
yon shortly after the accident say that
it was an act of providence that the
sleigh did not dash over the embank-
ment into the bottom of the canyon.
The road winds down along the noun
tain side taking sharp curves and in
places it is steep How the horses
and driver were carried down by the
sleigh is puzzling. In places the sleigh
went in bounds, and it is evident that
the rut in the road held the sleigh in
its course. The sleigh must have at
tanned a speed of twenty or thirty
miles an hour. The horses must have
been partly carried on the forward
runners for the box slipped back about
two feet.
Walker is a well-known resident of
Union and has been hauling ore from
the mines in Big Cottonwood canyon
for several years. Several other acct
dents have occurred in the canyon
during the winter.

Albany, N. Y, Jan 16-The debate
on Senator Brackets resolution de-
handing the resignation of United
States Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew.
was begun in the state senate today
in the presence of a crowded chamber.
The resolution came up as a special
order early in the session. After it
was read Mr.. Grady, the minority
leader, explaied the attitude Of the
Democratic senators. He said they
were in no wise responsible for send
ing Mr.. DeDew to the United States
senate, and the responsibility of re-
calling Mr.. Depew must be on the
party that sent him there. The Dem
ocrats would remain passive and listen
to the debate and any Individual mem
Der may then be Influenced one way
or another. This course, Senator
Grady said, was pursued after due de-
liberation, and would add to the quiet
of the day.

Senator BRACKETS Speech.

Senator Bracket declared, in OMEN
ing the debate, that he had intro
duced the resolution in obedience to
what he believed to be ''the solemn
demand of the right thinking people
OF the state -He-denied that he had
the slightest wish to humiliate Sena-
tor Depew more than was necessarily
implied in any possible resolution of
the kind
He asserted that there was a lack of
confidence in the senator named which
had been caused by recent disclosures.
He denied the assertion that # was
not within the province of the senate
to pass a resolution on a subject in
reference to which it had no authority
to enforce action and cited resolutions
adopted on the Venezuelan ouestion

L want to say to you and tn fha
people of the state" continued Sena-
tor Bracket, that until a more right
eous conception Of public duty shall
prevail, we are without hone for the
future; that unless the great viriIe
manhood of the state shall stand to
the proposition that he who offends I'm
the performance of his particular dutv
must suffer the punishment for his

though he had voted for Senator De

and said he would support any other
senator's resolution requesting him to
resign.
Senator Bracket insisted that no
service performed by Senator Depew
for the Equitable Life Assurance soci-
ETY. during the twenty years of his
$4,000 retainer had been other than
what he owed as director Of the So
ciety. The claim that this enormous
sum was paid for legal services ex-
cited only laughter and contempt.
