UNIONIST GAINS
DISAPPOINTMENT
TO POLITICIANS
Liberals Gather in Few They
Lost Last Time and
Lead.
Ministry Seems Assured OF
Good Majority.
LABORITE DEFEATS LIBERAL.

London, Dec. THE return OF a
further list OF unopposed Redmond
ties sent the government coalition
lists again to the front with a total Of
1871 seats in the new parliament
against 1873 now held by the Union
lists.
The late OF the parties was as fol-
lows:
Government coalition: Liverals,
30; Irish Nationalist, 20; Labor
members, 16; total, 1871.
Opposition: Unionists, 12S.
The prominent features in today's
early returns was the capture of
Sunderland by the coalition parties.
n. Hamar Greenwood the Canadian
Liberal. who returns to the house of
commons, after an absence OF less
than a year, and Frank Goldstone,
the Laborite, turred out the Union
list members. S. Story, Independent
tariff reformer, aud J. Knott, who
were elected last January by majori-
ties OF TAI and I,212 respectively.
At the close of the polling the
complexion of the house of COM
mons stood as follows:
Government coalition: Liberals.
1O6: Nationalist. 20; Laborites, 26.
Total, 1852.
Opposition: Jnionists, 147.
The situation has developed al
most nhenomenaliT in the closeness
of the race between the government
coalition parties nd the Unionists.
The three days sCtirg, In which 299
seats have been filled, gives the
coalition one more member than
they had in the last parliament,
from the same district.
Up TO last night the Unionists had
clear gain Of FIVE. The turning of
the tide toward Liberalism is a sur
prise and a great disappointment
for the Unionists. who counted
upon capturing half a dozen seats
from the enemy.
The Unionists concentrated their
heavy batteries. but John BARNS,
president of the local government
board, surprised them by winning
by an increased majority.
Almost everywhere fewer ballots
are being cast than in the last cleo
ton.
The Socialist candidates are run
ming poorly, commanding 500 votes.
An impressive lesson of the cam
paign is how strongly the British
voters are welded to their parties.
The smaller newspapers appear to
have exercised surprising influence.
Almost all the important papers
championed the Unionist cause, yet
they are unable to make a showing.

whole fire department today when
an alarm was received from the fac
tory of the Stutz Candy company.

knows how to fight fire himself as
well as direct the work. With water
he extinguished the fire. The second
alarm today was at the residence of
Lum Coleman, 622 South Eleventh

the roof, but only slight damage was
