HOUSE CONTESTS CROWNED on.

Democratic leaders Of the next Con-
gress do not want to have many con-
tests for seats on their hands. They
are not anxious to increase their ma
iority, which is already SO large as to
be almost unwieldly. and urge that
contests should not be brought except
in cases OF recognized frauds, in order
to save not only money, but time. The
indications have been that many repub-
licans who we're reelected by close
margins might find their seats con-
tested by defeated democrat. This
attitude of the democratic leaders is ex-
pected TO reduce the number Of these
to q minimum.

The English Election.

London, Dec. G.-There is every
prospect today that the conservatives
will not makea net gain OF more than
four or five seats in the present gen.
eral 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 virtual promise to the
liberals, thus making imminent par
Iiamertary deadlock.
At present the returns show 1l6
conservatives elected, and 81 liberals,
16 Irish nationalist and Ia laborites,
or coalition of III. As the voting
from now on will see the conservatives
on the defensive moro 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.
I If 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 aud the delayed returns
from yesterdays polling made the
count in the English general elections
rs follows:
Conservatives 1876; liberals, 30;
Irish nationalist %; laborites IL;
non-p partisan Speaker l-owthcr) |.
This is labor gain OF one seat and
net conservative gain OF three.
The showing is bitter disappoint.
mcnt to tue conservatives, who had
freely predicted before the voting
began that they would make a net
gain of 25. Now it is believed their
net gain will not run over five.
