HEALY ELECTED Irish Leader Unopposed
 in His District. LIBERALS GAINING Have About Three to One Over the Unionits Now Sir George
 Doughty Was Victorious To day.

London, Jan. 1j-The announce ment this afternoon of the reelection of Sir George Doughty, unionist. for Great Grimsby with a majority of 2,30O, an increase Of $50 over the re- suit of the last contest in 1898, proved welcome piek-me-up to the unionists who were somewhat panicky after Saturdays landslide.
 A number of unopposed returns were made this morning. the most no- table being Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- herman in Stirling district; Timothy NJ. Healy, Irish nationalist, North Louth: and Joseph Devlin, Irish na- tionalist, North Kilkenny.
 Including to-day's returns the result of the elections is as follows:
 Liberals A.
 Unionists Is.
 Irish Nationalists 12.
 Laborites :.
 The independent labor party has thus already secured more seats tl,in it held in the, previous house of con- mons. The laborites won under rh,, dual flag of liberal and labor and VIII Uc iOuuu fduEtN Wilu tHe lDetdiS on all labor questions. These early successes of the laborites, foreshadow- ing the presence in the next parliament of united labor body of considerable strength. form one of the main sur prises of the elections thus far. The labor party can be depended upon to take an entirely independent course under the leadership of James Keir Handle, chairman of the independent labor party and socialist and laborite member for Merthyr Tydfil. So all the older factions will have to reckon with the laborites hereafter.
 There is polling today in twenty two London districts and forty-eight provincial bOroughs. returning in all seyenty-eight members.
