LIBERALS GAIN ON UN|0AIS1,
GOVERNMENT COALITION STILL
KEEPS SLIGHT LEAD.
John Burns, In Auto, Dashes Into
Enemies BaiIiwicks On
Speech Tour.

London, Dec. AT the close Of the
third days polling the complexion OF
the house of commons stood as fol-
lows:
Government coalition: Liberals,
106; Laborites, 20; Natonalists, &c;
total, 1862.
Opposition: Unionists, 147.
A situation has been developed al
most phenomenal in the closeness OF
the race between the government
coalition parties and the Unionists
The pendulum swung slowly toward
the government and the result of three
days voting, in which 299 seats have
been filled, gives the coalition one
more member than they had in the
last parliament from the same constit-
uencies.
The returns show the Unionists
have regained St. Helens from the
Laborites. This borough, with the ex-
ception of last election, had been
Unionist since 1906. The Liberals
gained Southwark (west), Burnley
and Coventry and the Laborities
gained Woolwich and hitehaven,
all from the Unionists, while this
mornings returns from Sunderland
showed that the Liberal candidates,
Greenwood, and the Iaborite, Gold
stone, had replaced the two Union
lists there.
The turning of the tide toward Lib
eralism is surprise and great dis
appointment for the Unionists, who
counted upon capturing half a dozen
seats from the enemy. The greatest
surprise was in Coventry, because that
is the seat of motor manufacturing,
and the protectionists had put great
stress on their plea that tariff reform
would prevent the growing competi-
ton from American machines.
The Unionists concentrated their
heavy fire on Battersea, but John
Burns, president of the local govern
ment board, again surprised them.
bringing up his majority from 555 in
the last election to 1892. The Social
list, Shaw, whom Mr.. Burns enemies
among the workmen put up in the ex-
pectation that he would divide the
vote, polled a mere handful. John
Burns dashed around the constituency
all day in an automobile. Sir John
Darlington, the Unionist candidate,
and his wife followed suit in another.

FOREST FIRE CONFERENCE.
interesting Discussions at the St. Paul
Meeting.

st. Paul, Dec. 7.-R. H. Ashton
vice president of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway company, was
he principal speaker this morning at
the Lake States Forest Fire confer
ence, talking on the subject, the In.
terests Of the Railroads in Protecting
the Forests" Mr.. Ashton denied that
1t is through the carelessness of the
railroads that many of the forest fires
nave been started.
1t was recently charged that sparks
from locomotive of a Canadian raj
way line started the blaze which de-
stroyed Spooner and Baudette, Mimi,
and laid waste thousands of acres OF
valuable timber land, caused the
deaths of nearly 100 persons and re.
suited in damage estimated at more
han one million dollars.
Mr.. Ashton pointed out the reasons
why the railroads exact care from
heir enginemen to prevent sparks
from engines setting fires to the
woods. He discussed the proposal to
aave railroads use oil as fuel in their
locomotives and the employment Of
spark arresters on the engines.
The conference received suggestion
from John Mattson, game warden of
st. Louis county, Minnesota, who pro-
poses that the game wardens of Mimi
esota be commissioned also as fire
Hardens, thus doubling the number Of
men whose duty it shall be to look
out for fire danger. Mr.. Mattson sug-
gests that the state raise $150,000 to
pay for this service by eXacting uni
gersal license fee of 81 from hunt.
ers. His plan has been given con.
sideration by the committee on res
buttons.
J. E. Rhodes, an official of the
Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company, and
president OF the Minnesota Forestry
Association, presided at the session
his afternoon. Other speakers of the
lay were: Thornton A. Green, Ontan.
