UNIONISTS VICTORS
CHAMBERLAIN AND SIX OTHERS
 ELECTED IN BIRMINGHAM.
Sudden Check in the Succession of LandsIides For Campbell. Bainer- mnn's PaFtys-BGIfOuF's Tim
 Idity Cause of Defeats.

London, Jan. 1.-The most promi- nent feature of today's election returns is the wholly unexpected stand made by Birmingham. Not only were all of Joseph Chamberlain's seven candidates returned but Mir Chamberlain himself secured a ajority, of 5000, while the majority of the others averaged 5000.
 Even allowing that the liberal can didates were not very strong as the seats were practically uncontested at the last general election and though the ileberal organization was not as good as in other parts of the country. the results ot Birmingham are of the highest importance The prove the groundlessness for the liberal conten- ton that this general election has killed the fiscal agitation for gen cratic nto come. Besides showing the unabated confidence of Birmingham in Chamberlain, the results there go al- so ot confirm what already has been noticed in isolated contests, that the candidates who openly professed pro- tectionist leanings had good support and in some cases were victorious.
 The outcome at Birmingham affords a striking contrast. While MT. Balfour stands discredited as a leader with his supporters all swallowed up and him. self angrily criticised from his own side, MT. Chamberlain issues from tha contest with flying colorS dlS victory to a large extent justifies him to per severe in his agitation and he is in Q position to argue that 1t was MT Bal four's timidity which lost the cam paign.
 considerable section of the union ists on the protectionist side had pre- dicted some such result and 1t is now hinted that the party must in futurs look toward Birmingha mfor hope and guidance. nj
 It is too late for the results at Bir- mingham to have any great enect on the campaign as a whole.
 Many of tO-days polls will not be de- clared until tomorrow, but those pub lished tonight show that the liberal tide still runs strong. London had gone distinctly liberal, no less than twelve seats showing Liberal gains While the total gains of the Liberals to-day number twenty-two, the Union ists have made only one solitary gain. Viscount Castlereagh having wrested the seat from the Liberals at Maidstone.
 The members already elected are dis tributed as follows;
 Liberals 167; Unionists 7S; Laborites 31, Nationalists 50.

 That the United States maintain abroad secret surveillance of unde- sirable immigration.
 That a statute be enacted requiring aliens to produce at landing a 'certifi- cate or origin" from the nearest United States Consul, to be issued only in the event that satisfactory information has come to the Consul respecting the alien from the secret service officials.
 That a bond be required of not less than $25,000 from persons engaged in the United States in the sale of steam ship tickets, forwarding money, con tracting for labor, etc, for faithful and conscientious performance of obli- gations and contracts.
 That a law be enacted making 1t a criminal offense for any resident of the United States to travel abroad for the purpose of inducing immigration for temporary or permanent stay, exempt- ing only relatives.
 That naturalization laws be amended SD lHdA peTSOnS uSSlTiHB lO btCoHlS Citi- gems shall prove continued residence for a longer period than at present
 That citizenship lapse where persons reside abroad for certain period of time. excepting only bona fide residents abroad.
 That naturalized citizens convicted of felony in a foreign country which would be felony In the State in which he resides. shall forfeit American citi- zenship.
 That the alien contract labor law be amended so that priests. clergymen. ministers and lecturers be eliminated from the exempt class, unless they are bona flde visitors.
 That a heavy head tax be imposed upon persons returning to the United States after having resided here tenn porarily.
 That the force of inspectors on the Mexican border be increased and mounted.

BILL AND APOLOGY
ELKINs DOESN'T THINK MUCH OF
 HIS MEASURE.
West Virginia Senator Says that the Railroads Don't Like it, and He Doesn't Know What Other
 Interests Think.

Washington Jan. 17-Senator Elkins of West Virginia, chairman of the Sem ate Committee on Interstate Commerce. has made public his bill for the regula- tion of railroad rates, which he pur- poses to offer for the consideration Of Congress. In discussing it, he makes no claim that 1t is perfect, but declares that it is the best he can do. He says that the railroads are not satisned With it and that he has not learned what other interests will think of It. The Interstate Commission is increased From seven to nine members.
 Expenses of litigation are to be borne by the United States. The bill has not been completed fully. but the section relating to the fixing of rates embodies most of the important features and Is as follows:
 That whenever the Interstate Com merce Commission shall be of the opin . ion that reasonable grounds exist for believing that any rate, fare or charge established or charged by any common carrier or carriers for any transpor- tation or other service subject to said act, approved Feb. 4, 1887, or any act amendatory thereof, is unjust and un- reasonable, or that any such carrier or carriers shall be making any unjust discrimination or be engaged in any other practice or be doing any other act in violation of any provisions of any of said acts, 1t shall be lawful for said Commission to institute q suit or pro- ceeding Tn equity in the Circuit Court for any district fin which the principal office of any carrier defendant in the suit or proceeding shall be located. to restrain such carrier or carriers from continuing in force such rate. fare or charge, or from continuing such unjust discrimination or other unlawful act or practice.
 May institute Suit.
 "The Commission in it's discretion may institute any such suit or pro- ceeding upon its own motion or upon the application of any person. firm or corporation interested in the matter complained of and the Commission shall not be required before instituting any such suit or proceeding to give notice to the parties defendant therein or grant a hearing to make a report, finding, recommendation, decision or order in respect of the matters com plained of, but the Commission shall have power before inStituting any such suit or proceeding to make such inves tigation as 1t may deem proper.
 Any suit or proceeding authorized by this act may be instituted by petl- tion, briefly setting forth the matters complained Of and any parties inter- ested in sucf matters may be made de- fendants. The court shall have power to hear and determine such suit or pro ceeding speedily without the formal pleadings and proceedings applicable to ordinary suits in equity and upon such short notice to the defendants as the court shall deem reasonable but, in such manner as to do justice in the premises.
 If it be made to appear to the court that any such rates. fare or charge of any carrier complained of in such suit or proceeding is unjust and un-
