Result Of British Elections,

LONDON, Ian. 31.-The return Of J.
G. Hancock, labor candidate for the
middle division of Derbyshire, an.
nounced today, completes the elections
for the new parliament in England.
The remaining half dozen constituent
cies to make returns are Scotch and
Irish. The final total In England
alone gives the unionists, tariff re.
formers, 239 seats, the liberals and
lsborites combined 227, or q unionist
majority Of IL, compared with q lib.
eral-laborite majority of PAL received
in 1905.
The moral generally drawn from the
elections 10 that the country does not
want radical changes in the house of
lords or in the government policies.
The spirit of Cancellation therefore,
is abroad and schemes for a compro-
mise are being debated.

Horseflesh Sold For Food.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-In an official
report to the Illinois state food COM
mission made public yesterday, State
Inspector Hoas says that horses are
being slaughtered by the wholesale in
Chicago and that the meat is being
sold and distributed for human con.
sumption. The meat he says is being
cut into roasts, steaks and sausage is
being sold to free lunch vendors in
Chicago and some farming districts
and mining camps, where foreigners
are employed. Heretofore, says the
report, it was the general belief all
horse meat prepared in Chicago was
for shipment to Copenhagen and the
fact that it is being put up for home
consumption is looked upon as neces.
sitating a new state law regulating the
killing of horses.
Inquiry at q cheap boarding house
district showed that ''meat" was pur-
chased at 6 cents q pound, when
butchers in the neighborhood were
asking 8 cents for the cheapest meat.

The plaintiff alleges that the total

Should Survey Montana Lands.

HELENA, Jan. 3l.-The crying need
of Montana at present, in the opinion
of Governor Norris, and one which
every commercial body should take
up with Montana's representatives, is
a more rapid survey of the public
lands.
"The thousands of settlers who are
coming to Montana should have some
thing more than a squatter's right"
declares the governor, ''but until the
the lands are surveyed, no other right
can be given.
"The necessity for this united &C.
tion," said the governor, "lies in the
fact that preparations must be made
for the large influx Of population
which we must expect this year, next
year and, in fact, for many years to
come. We must have something tan.
gtble to offer them other than a SQUAT

Discussed Causes Of High Prices.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-That the
increases In the prices of food was
general throughout the world and was
not confined to the United States, and,
therefore, was not affected by the
American tariff, was the contention OF
Senator Lodge in q speech in the sen.
ate today. He found in the increased
gold supply and in the increased de-
mand of consmers an adequate ex.
PLANTATION of present conditions, and
urged that the tariff could not and did
not have any effect on the price of
necessities.
Senator Bacon quoted newspaper
articles in support Of his contention
that the ''beef trust" was selling beef
in England from 4 to 9 cents q pound
cheaper than in the United States.
Mr.. Bacon also undertook to show
that since hides had been put on the
free list there had been an advance in
the price Of shoes and of leather. He
credited this to the manipulation of
the dealers.
