for Fiscal Revolution.
 London, Jan 15.- We have killed protection. This is the beginning of such a political unheaval as has not been seen in England since the days of the great reform bill. Manchester has saved herself by her exertions she will save England by her example.
 Thus spoke Winston Churchill Satur- day night; and his opinion that free trade has gained a victory Is the opln- ion of the more responsible of the unionist newspapers, though many of them attempt to explain the result of the elections ot Saturday as due more to questions like Chinese labor in South Africa, war taxation, etc. Nowhere, however, is there any hint at minlmiz- ing the hurricane that has overtaken the unionist party or suggestion of doing anything but beat an orderly re treat and save what is possible from the rout
 The question now uppernost in all minds is what fate will befall Joseph Chamberlain at Birmingham
 The Morning Post editorially points out that the temporary prosperity of the cotton industry may have made Manchester also to accept even the Bal fourian measure of tariff reform. It | the example of Manchester, the mean says that should Birmingham follow ing of the country's voice would no longer be matter for the slightest doubt
 The Unionist Graphic, in a temperate article, says: Tt cannot be doubted that the country was not prepared fol such d revolution in its fiscal policy and declined to grasp the subtle distinction between free trade and protection as il lustrated by MT. Balfours half way l house..
 The Standard in an editorial thinks that the fear of American reprisals or it's staple industry in the event of the adoption of fiscal reform largely infu. enced the action of the Manchester voters.
 The Daily Telegraph says:
 "The combined forces of radicalism separatism, socialism and seculariun wrought black day for the Union ists."
 The paper admits that the main cause is that the country will not sanction any modification of the free trade sys l tenn"

NO LIKELIHOOD OF PROVISION
REMAINING IN THE BILL.

Although 1t has been persistently rumored
around the Capitol for the past few days
that an effort will be made to retain IN
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill the provision relating 10
aged clerks, 1t is not believed that such
step will be seriously undertaken. The
legislative bill has been SO badly battered
as a result of the persistent points of or
der made by Prince. Hardwick and Com
pany that 1t will probably be necessary to
have q special rule brought in to put 1t
back In the measure. some Of the very as
sential things that the combination in ques-
ton has succeeded in knocking out OF 1t.
But 1t Is very doubtful, indeed, whether any
serious attempt will be made to have this
rule cover the provisions with respect to
the compensation and tenure Of Office of
aged clerks.
The members of the appropriations COM
mittee realize that there is decided sem
timent in the House against the adoption
of the superannuation provision-certainly
as 1t Is al present drawn-and consequently
the committee will probably permit the
matter to drop for the present, in the be-
lief that the leaven will work and that
serious attempt will be made later to REM
edy the alleged evils of existing conditions.

of the plant was considered in making the
calculation about the first work. The wit
