J ing places are scattered; 50 t'i'l '''N
oltcon. will not be known until To-
! morrow.
| majority of these constituencies
are represented BY tnionistS, ana
| there is Still 9 great curiosity I" KNOW
whether the counties have changed
Stree January. Milton which the Union
! lists won today. is hardly fair test,
| as the cid member retired and
| stranger took the field against tie
| tInicnists who contested the seat last
| January.
The results in Dublin City and Lin
| erick City will also be announced to-
morrow. A declaration of the polling
! in these places at. night was consid-
cred likely to stir up trouble, with
the present feeling in Ireland.
| Interest in the election continued to
, increase tonight. Immense crowds
stood for hours awaiting the flashing
of results outside the newspaper Of
fees, ard in East End and other Lon
don constituencies where polling oc-
Cured, thousands paraded the streets
cheering the successful candidates.
Speaking at Wrexham this evening,
Mr. Balfour practically admitted de-
feat and implOred the government, if
it did not like tariff, to reconsider the
whole situation before the next colon
ial conference, and suggest some other
method of meeting the impending dan
ger, which was dependent upon the
position of the government and it's
obligation to toe the line" The sit
uation was full of peril unless they
shook themselves free from National
lot NJ
nation could not be trusted in the
keeping of the Liberal government,
and. he declared, before long, another
appeal must be made to the country
Premier Asquith, addressing his con-
stituents at East Fife, tonight, took
Mr.. Balfours challenge to discuss
Home Rule. He said that he had not
talked much about Home Rule be-
cause he had been talking about a
matter which must come up first, and
this was the emancipation of the
House of Commons from the thraldOm
under which it at present was. He had
never given any uncertain sound upon
Home Rule and recalled a speech
which he made on this subject in AL
bert hall, a year ago. His policy was
free from ambiguity. The supremacy
of the Imperial Parliament must be
associated with it, must be indicated
and must be carried into effect. The
Premier indicated the changes which
had taken place between England and
Ireland and which had removed the
fear that Home Rule would lead to
separation.
