London, Jan. 1.-The international yachting conference at its meeting Fri day next will probably adopt the inter- European formula, which is widely diff ferent from the measurement rule of the New York Yacht club.

CHAMBERLAIN ISSUES
 WITH FLYING C0LORS
RETURNED TO PARLIAMENT WITH MAJORITY OF FIVE
 THOUSAND.

All His Candidates in Birmingham Also
 Elected--Sound Proof That Fiscal
 Agitation Has Not Been Killed as
 Liberals DecIare--COnvictiOn Grows

 ter Had He Come Out Flat-foOted for
 ProtcctiOn--Liberal Landslide Still
 Has Impetus.
 London, Jan 17.-The most promi- nent feature of to-day's election returns is the wholly unexpected stand made by Birmingham. Not only were all of Joseph Chamberlain's seven candidates returned, but MT. Chamberlain himself secured a majority of 5000, while the majority of the others averaged 5000. Even allowing that the liberal candi dates were not very strong, as the seats were practically uncontested at the last general election, and though the liber- al organization was not as good as in other parts of the country, the results at Birmingham are of the highest im- portance. They prove the groundless- ness of the liberal contention that this general election has killed the fiscal agitation for a generation to come. Be- sides showing the unabated confidence in MT. Chamberlain the results there go also to confirm what already has been noticed in isolated contests, that the candidates who openly professed protectionist leanings had good support and in some cases were victorious.
 The outcome at Birmingham affords a striking contract. While MT. Balfour stands discredited as a leader, with his supporters all shawllowed up and him. self angrily criticized from his own side Mr Chamberlain issues from the contest with flying colors. Ills cour- age to a large extent justifies him to persevere in his agitation and he is in position to argue that it was Mir. Balfour's timidity which lost the cam paign.
 A considerable section of the union- ists on the protectionist side had pre- dicetd some such result and 1t is now hinted that the party must In future look toward Birmingham for hope and guidance.
 It Is too late for the results at Bir- mingham to have any great effect on the campaign as a whole. Many of to- days polls will not be declared until tomorrow, but those published to- night show that the liberal tide still runs strong. London has gone dis tinctly liberal no less than twelve seats showing liberal gains. While the total gains of the liberals for to-day number | twenty-two, the unionists have made only solitary gain, Viscount Castlereagh having wrested the seat from the lib- erals at Maidstone. Portsmouth, which had previously been represented by two unionists to-day elected two liberals and this despite the fact that fifth candidate, laborite, threatened to split the liberal vote, The laborlte, how ever, came third with very large vote the unionist being at the bottom oi the list.
 The members already elected are dis tributed as follows:
 1 Liberals, 167
 Unionists, S3.
 Laborites, Sl.
 Nationalists, 50
 Of the twenty-three London seats boiled to-day sixteen were won by the liebarls, twelve of them being net gains.

1MPALED ON BEAN POLE
Yet Lad May Recover After Serious
 COasting Accident.

Bangor, Me, Jan 1L-After having been impaled on bean pole as the re- suit of a coasting accident, John Fow- ter, aged fourteen, son of Mir. and Mrs, Daniel Fowler, of Greenfield, in the opinion of his doctor, may not die. The pole, which was one and e-quarter inches in diameter, passed completely through the body just below the ribs, the end projecting several inches be- yond the back. A doctor sawed off the protruding end and removed the part that remained in the body. It was found that apparently no vital organ had been seriously injured, and the chances were pronounced even that the lad would recover.
