England SELECTION
]. ARTHUR BALFOUR, FORMER
PREMIER DEFEATED.
First Days Contest in Great Britain Is
Overwhelmingly in Favor of the
Present Recommendations Labor
ites-Balfour Will Find Another
Safe Seat by Some One Retiring.

London, Jan. 1.-THE political map
of England Saturday underwent q
striking change as the result Of par
liamentary elections held in SO constit-
uencies in widely scattered but I'M
portant centers, and in which the lib
erals gained IS seats. The laborites,
who are counted among all liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
unionist candidates.
In the east division of Manchester,
Arthur j. Balfour, the former premier,
was defeated by T. G.. Horridge, liberal,
who was conceded even by the liberals
weak candidate against such per-
son as Mr. Balfour Mr.. Horridge Sc
cured the remarkable majority of 1880.
This victory, Notwithstanding the lib
eral predictions. was a decidedly SEN
sational outcome of the days polling
and will, it is believed, enormously af-
feet the elections which will continue
for a fortnight.
Winston Churchill, liberal and free
trader, won the seat for the northwest
division of Manchester from w. John
ston Xix, conservative, by majority
of 1241.
Everywhere the liberal majorities
were increased, and the net result o.
the first days contest between thu
great political parties was overwhelm
: ingly in favor of the present govern
ment.
! Although only sc seats are now fille'
out of the $40 required for the new
parliament, which will meet at Wes1
minister February Is, the composition
of the house as shown by the result
received up to midnight, is as follows
e Liberals, 80; unionists, IA; laborite'
6; nationalists, Z. This includes 2
5 candidates who were unopposed an
e the two candidates elected at Ipswic
Friday.
Of course, Mr.. Balfour will find al
l. other safe seat before the election
Z are over, by one of the unionist ca
didates retiring in his favor. Up
the present however, there is no 1
. dication where the former premier wi
find the place where he can secure
J. majority which will enable him to tai
his seat as a leader on the front o
e position bench.

Has AIibi Ready.

Boise-Fred Miller of Spokane, at
torney for Harry Orchard, charged
with the murder of Ex-Governor Frank
Steunenberg at Caldwell. has made an
interesting statement respecting the
instrument found in his clients trunk,
which had been pronounced a contri-
vance for determining the combination
of safes-a tool used by bank burglars
in their occupation.
According to Miller, the instrument
is used in making loaded dice of the
kind used by gamblers. He said fur
Their that the plaster of paris found
was used in connection with the same
industry.
Another statement made by Miller
was to the effect that Orchard could
prove an alluI in the Independence
case. He could clear him of that
charge in that manner, he said, should
he be taken to Colorado to stand trial
for the crime. Orchard, he declared

The Men Who Give Us Wheat.

After listening to the grain growers,
the warehousemen, the millers, the
railroad men, as well as the expert
ment station experts at the Pullman
wheat convention, the deepest impress
sion left on the mind is that the first
and most important step in the pro-
motion of the industry is in the hands
of the producer himself. If the farmer
will deliver to the warehouse or ele'
vator the best quality of standard
breed of wheat, the largest part of his
troubles are over
A prominent miller declared that
bluestem and the Big Bend variety OF
club wheat made the -four in greatest
demand.

OVER6OL|VES SAVED
PASSENGERS and CREW ON At
LANTlC STEAMER.
The Cherokee Went Aground on Jer-
sey Coast and Severe Storm Near
Iy Sending All to Watery Grave
Picked Crew From SIoop Yacht Al
berta Rescued Entire Number.

Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 15.-After
spending "a hours in terrible anxiety
lest they be wrecked and swept into
the sea, the passengers and crew, go
in all, of the Clyde line steamer Chero-
kee, bound from San Domingo for New
York, which went aground on the Bri-
gantine shoals Friday, have been
rescued and landed at the inlet. Cap
tain Archibald, two mates and the
ships carpenter elected to remain
aboard the steamer. The rescue was
accomplished by Captain Mark Caste
and picked crew in the sloop yacht
Alberta, and their experience was al
most as thrilling as that Of the strand
ed passengers. More than a thousand
persons greeted the storm tossed party
as the sloop sailed into the inlet with
the report that all hands were safe.
When the Cherokee ran its nose
into the sand on Friday there was no
fear for the safety of the vessel and
: those on board. During the night
moderate northeaster set in, sending
the vessel deeper into the sand. Day
light Saturday found the storm in full
blast. A heavy rain set in, and later
in the day a fog settled down and the
vessel was lost to view.
The wind rose until it reached a
velocity of 33 miles an hour, and the
passengers and crew had to leave the
deck. A signal from the steamer re-
ported all hands on board at dawn to-
day.
Then it was decided that the stanch
< sloop Alberta, with Captain Caste at
+ the helm and a picked crew, should
, make an attempt to reach the Chero
kee, and if possible, take OF those or
.. board. The Alberta got over the In
q let bar. in safety, and then went pitch
6 ing up the coast toward the stranded
:, steamer. They found the passenger
n land most of the crew in terrible
= state of anxiety. The women wer'
;. weeping and the men were pleadinl
n that something be done. Captain
Archibald and Captain Caste decides
i, to make the attempt to transfer tn
* passengers. Though terribly anxiou
to be released from their perilous pc
sition. some of the passengers feare
to make the trip in the small boat. A
the time the sea was rough, with
- fairly stiff wind blowing.
From the shore of Brigantine beac
~ hundreds watched the rescue, Will
away off at the Atlantic City inlet
"a number of men with strong glasse
" kept the anxious crowd there informe
of the progress of the rescue. A grea
20 cheer went up when 1t was announce
az that the Alberta, loaded with peopl
w was leaving the steamer. 1t did nc
take the sloop- long to make the ru
to the inlet, where the passengers an
~ crew were congratulated on their sal
35 landing Most of them were in an e
nv hausted condition, not having had an
Ill sleep for 4S hours.
