BURNS IS RETURNED
 AFTER BITTER FIGHT
Lanorltes and Liberals Continue Their Victories. Chief of Which Was
 Reelection of Labor Leader.

London, January 19.-The laborites and liberals as result of yesterdays elec- tion at Newcastle-on-Tyne each gained seat Both these seats formerly were held by unionists with majorities of 4O00 to 5000, and the force of the anti-unionist blizzard can be gauged by the fact that the result, which was announced this morning, gives the successful laborite and liberal contestants majorities of 4OOO. Sir Charles Dilke. Forest of Dean division of Gloucestershire and Colonel Saunderson of North Armagh were among the mem- bers of parliament reelected today with out opposition. J. H. Seaverns, the Amer ican, formerly of Boston, Mass, has been successful in capturing the Brlxton divi- sion of Lambeth, London, for the fiber als.
 The feature of today's contests was the fight of John Burns, the labor leader and president of the local government board, to retain his seat from the Battersea division of London. Burns was returned by a majority of 1900.
 The unionists exerted tremendous ef- fort to unseat him. and they did not hesitate to admit that the defeat of MT. Burns, whose vitrolic attacks on the unionist administration have done so much to influence the workmen voters of London, would have materially helped to revenge the soreness caused by the general downfall of the party.
 Among the nationalists returned is James O'Connor who was prominent in the F'enian movement. and who with O Donovan Rossa was convicted in 1865 of treason and felony and sentenced to seven years penal servitude. O'Connor had no opposition.
