London. Dec. 9.-The standing of
the British parties, at the close Of
the polling last night in the general
elections, was as folows:--
Government Coalition.
Liberals lat
Laborites %
Nationalist As
Independent. nationalists 6
Total 22s
Opposition
Unionists 1913
The fifth day of the elections in
Great Britain ended with the parties
still running neck and neck and with
the prospect that they will come uD-
der the wire in almost precisely the
same relative position they held at
the start. Returns had been receiv-
ed up to midnight from the voting for
419 members and the result was a
unionist gain of two seats in that
number over those held by that party
in the last Parliament. This amaz-
ing result is as unprecedented in
English history as It is embarrassing
to politicians of all factions. Both
parties went into the election predict
ing great gains. Both are now con-
WINGED that the new House of Com
mons will be practically identical
with the old.
Discussion is now concentrated up
on the question OF what the peoples
verdict means and what course shall
be followed under such unexpected
circumstances. The conservatives
argue that Premier Asquith bid for a
sweeping Endorsement from the
country and has not obtained it;
therefore he cannot be justified in
fastening upon the nation such radi-
cal changes as rules disarming the
House of Lords. The coalltionists in
sist that the voters by returning
them to power indorse their policies
and direct them to carry out their
/ program in its entirety.

NEW YORK, June 20.-For the
first time since the sharp rallies on
the morning of June Z, the majority
of issues in the early trading to-day
