The English Election.

London, Dec. G.-There is every
prospect today that the conservatives
will not make net gain OF more than
four or five seats in the present gen.
eraI election. But they are already
seeking to influence King George
against the creation OF liberal peers by
arguing that even this small gain will
show that the country is not ready for
the radical measure proposed by the
ministry, particularly the abolition OF
the lords veto.
On account OF his well known tory
sympathies, the fear is increasing that
the king will heed the unionists' de-
mand, disregarding what is considered
by many a virtual promise to the
liberals, thus making imminent q par
liamentary deadlock.
At present the returns show 1l6
conservatives elected, and 81 liberals,
| l6 Irish nationalist and IA laborites,
or coalition OF III. AS the voting
| from now on will see the conservatives
on the defensive more than in the poll
ing SO far conducted, the liberals are
expected to throw the balance much
more largely in their favor.
The returns so far warrant the pre-
diction that the conservative plurality
over the liberals alone in the next
parliament will not be more than four
or five. The liberals are claiming to-
day that they will even maintain their
plurality, which in the last parliament
was two over the conservatives. Accept
ing the most sweeping claims OF the
conservatives, the result will still give
the liberals and laborites majority OF
about twenty. This means that the
Irish will again WELD the balance OF
power.
II the Irish continue their present
bellicose attitude toward the lords,
there is the widest conjecture as to
what they will do in the event OF the
kings weakening on the proposal to
change the complexion Of the upper
house by swapping it with liberal
peers. They have it in their power to
force another early election and to
involve the crown in the most serious
political controversy that has engaged
the throne for decades.
1t is the knowledge OF this fact by
the king that gives rise to the belief
in the minds OF many liberals a
belief that is not at all general, how
ever,--that George will grant the
demands OF the ministry, make the
House OF Lords a liberal body and
thus insure the speedy grant OF home
rule to Ireland.
London. Dec. g. Today's unopposed
elections and the delayed returns
from yesterdays polling made the
count in the English general elections
as follows:
Conservatives 1876; liberals, 80;
Irish nationalist %; laborites 10;
non partisan Speaker Lowthe) /.
This is a labor gain OF one seat and
net conservative gain OF three.
Tho showing is bitter disapppint,
ment to the conservatives, who had
freely predicted before the voting
began that they would make net
gain OF %. Now it is believed their
net gain will not run over five.

it absolutely certain that many of
