The Liberal Victory.

Except that the returns from nine
constituencies have not been received,
the general elections in the United
Kingdom are ended.
The government coalition will have
approximately $40 votes in the next
parliament, this estimate including on
the side of Premier Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the nationalist and
labor votes, with the concrete union
list, minority of 100 on the opposition
side.
The issues in the campaign brought
forth by the liberals included an ex-
pensive war for which the people are
still paying, a threatened rising OF
food prices, an unpopular educational
system, an unprecedented number OF
unemployed and many other matters.
General dissatisfaction with the
unionists' 10 years of power was man
ifested.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
will enter the new parliament on Feb.
l3 with the greatest majority ever
given to an English premier.

powle,s Plans for the Future.

The first authentic version of the
present troubles at Zion City and the
plans Of John Alexander Dowie for
the future was secured Saturday. 1t
includes the substance of Dowie's
will, which he made just previous to
his departure for jamaica. He was
inspired TO dispose Of his estate by
the fear Of another paralytic strike.
Here is the outline of his will:
Ninety-flve per cent of the estate,
estimated at $21, 000,0 900, goes to the
Zion City corporation.
Two and one-half per cent is to be
given TO educational settlements and
city improvements.
The remaining 21a per cent is to go
to Mrs. Jane Dowie and Gladstone
Dowie.
Provision Is made for his success
sor, whom the leaders at Zion are
pledged to support.
All debts against Zion City or Dow
lie personally are TO be paid.
1t was more than month ago that
Dowie acceded to the urgent requests
Of his friends to leave the business af-
fairs of Zion City in the hands of 9TH
ers and realized the completeness of
his failure as a commercial admins
traitor and he himself stated that he
cried all night. Then IL was he stlp-
ulated in his will that before his
heirs received a penny all debts
should be paid.
If Zion City goes down." said the
lnformers, "the Dowies. father. moth
er and son, come out of it paupers.

A LOCK CANAL.

A lock canal at a cost OF $147 000..
600. and not more than eight years to
build, or a sea level canal at cost OF
about s250,000,000 and from IL to Is
years to build, were the two problems
discussed Tuesday by the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals.
The lock type was favored by Chief
Engineer John F. Stevens, in charge
OF the construction work on the 18TH
mus OF Panama, who was before the
committee all day. Informal express
sions OF members of the committee
favor Mr.. Stevens recommendations
The examination of Mr.. Stevens was
conducted in executive session, as the
committee had before it the majority
and minority reports of the board OF
consulting engineers, on the type of
canal, which reports have not been
acted upon by the isthmian canal com.
mission nor by President Roosevelt.
The opinion was expressed by Mr..
Stevens that lock canal would sup.
ply all the needs of commerce and
that practically the only argument
that could be made in favor of the
sea level type is in the time that
would be saved in conveying ships
from ocean to ocean.
The construction of central lake,
to receive the waters of the Chagres
river, 1t is said, would permit steam
vessels of the largest type to pass
through the lake under their own
power and thereby make up most of
the time that would be lost in passing
through locks.

On the ground that good rural roads

the Business Mems association, or

After that reasonable and just Law
