WAS ABANDONED
British Vessel Was Found Lying in Mud Channel Near Pol
 lock Rip Lightship.

Chatham, Mass, Jan 12.-Abandoneii by her crew, the British barkentire Al t0na was lying ill mid-channel mile and ahalf west of Pollock Rip light snip this forenoon, well filled with water and apparently almost ready to sink. The crew are at the MOnOmOy Point life saving station, having come ashore early to-day.
 a heavy mist Wednesday night, went ashore on Shoyelful shoals. Yesterday the tug Gypsum King. which was pass ing on her way to New York with a tow, stopped and pulled the barken- tine off the shoal The tug was asked to take her in tow for New York but her captain refused, fearing that the barkentine would sink on the way. There was about four feet of water in the hold of the vessel at that time.
 The crew kept hard at work at the pumps but at nightfal' the water had gained another foot. Despite this fact nnd although the members of the crew were considerably worn out from their hard work at the pumps, Captain H. H. Card announced his intention of attempting to work his way up over the shoals and to reach St John, N B., his destination. Desiring to guard against possible disaster, however, Captain Card arranged with the Mon- omoy Point life savers to keep sharp lookout for distress signals.
 At 10:3O o'clock last night the surf men discerned red fire being burned <l the barkentine, which then had pro ceeded about four miles. The life savers immediately launched their boat. When they reached the barken- tine they found that her crew, number ing ten men, had abandoned the vessel and had loaded their boats with their dunnage. Captain Card. however, was still on the vessel. The water had gained So rapidly in the hold of the Altona that the exhausted crew had despaired of being able to keep her afioat.
 Captain Card entered one of the boats and all came ashore, landing at the Monomoy Point station at about a. m.
 When daylightcame it was seen that the Altona was just afioat, wei down by the head and likely to sink at any moment. Captain Card and some of his rcn went out to her this forenoon, but it was evident that they. could do nothing to save the vessel. As she lay in mid-channel she was sure to be- come q serious menace to navigation when she sank.
 The Altona was bound from Eliza hethport. \. J., for. St John. \. B.. with 650 tons of coal. She is owned | in Windsor. N. S.. anG registers 491 | tons net. She. is 149 feet long, :34 feet wide and F feet deep. She was built | at Parrsb0rO, N. S., in 1890.

Won First Place in Eng
 fish Election.
WAS NOT OPPOSED
Numbers of Seats Given to Liberals Without Any Contest by the Unionists--Balf Balfour's Seat
 in Danger.

| London, Jan. 12-The general cleo
 ton opened this morning and by 10
 o'clock the name of the first member
 of the new parliament was announced.
 Sir Christopher Furness, liberal, being
 returned for Hartlepool Sir Christo-
 pher, however. was not opposed. A ! little later the score was evened by the
 unoppOsed reelection of Austin Tay-
 Tor for East Toxeth. In the course of | the day two more liberals were elect | ed without contest ~.
 Nominations were made today in 1SO boroughs. The elections in these
 bOr0ughs will begin tomorrow and
 last for several days Ipswich is the only borough polling today. For ten
 years past Ipswich has returned one
 conservative and one liberal. Both
 the late members, Sir Charles Dal-
 rymple, conservative, and Daniel Ford Goddard. liberal, are candidates for reelection, and both political parties
 are making strenuous efforts to cap-
 ture the seats. The workmen have large majority of the votes so the campaign centers on the fiscal fight!
 One of the remarkable features of the campaign is the extraordinary
 number of seats handed over to the
 liberals without any attempt of the uniOnists to contest them. This is at tributed in conservative circles to the certainty that the liberals will win the election, it being argued that it is bet ter to reserve the conservative strength for later struggle, which is anticipated after the liberals have held office for year or two, when the unionists consider that the chances of their being returned to power will be more promising. There is however. great uncertainty on all sides us to the extent of the liberal victory. The lib- eral enthusiasts claim that their par ty will have working majority inde- pendent of the Irish nationalists, but more conservative estimates give Sir Henry Campbell l-Bannerman q majority of only sixty or seventy, leaving the Irish natiOnlists the bal ance of power.
 Arthur J. Balfour's seat, East Man. chester, appears to be endangered. Winston Churchill's amazing vitality and enthusiasm have spread beyond hls own division Oldham. near Man. chester) and have infected the whole city of Manchester. causing the liber- als to claim that they will capture to- morrow several seats there which during the last parliament were held by unionists. ...4
 There is little betting on the general result as the earlier elections on which the fate of such important candidates as Mir Balfour, George Wyndham, con servative. Dover; Sir Gilbert Parker, conservative, Gravesend; and Winston Churchill, all of whose contests occur tomorrow, are liable to have wide spread influence on the voters in the later elections. At some of the liberal clubs the odds of to 4 have been laid against the election of Mir Balfour.
 Much interest attaches to the efforts of the labor party to secure the return of sufficient number to make the in- dependent labor party an effective l force in the new house of commons. Some eighty candidates, laborites and | socialists, are running.
