Whether England will Have
Political Peace From Now on
GEORGE ISNOT COMMITTED
Business Interests Are Bitterly Com
planning of the Constant Agitation.
opposint Forces Are To-day
Unchanged.

London, Dec l6. The general parlia-
mentary elections to-day left the oppos-
ing forces where they stood before dis
solution, with an insufficient liberal ma
jority to oyerwhelm the conservatives.
SO that whether England has political
peace rests ON the question whether
King George creates enough liberal peers
to give the liberal government control.
The king has not indicated what his ae-
ton will be, but it is believed that be
will refuse. Business interests are bit.
terly complaining of the constant agita-
tion.
Late returns increased the allies ma
jority over the conservatives by l04.
Only 20 more seats are to be filed. So
far this means net gain for the coali-
tion over this stage in the last parlia-
mentary election of one. The standing

MOORE WAS oUTcLASSED.
Defeated by Tommy Murphy in "Milp'
at New York.

New York, Dee l6. Tommy Murphy,
Harlem's pride, stepped back into the
lightweight championship zone over the
reputation, the face and body Of Pal
Moore at the Empire A. c. last night
He made garrison finish in this 10th
round that sent the chances OF Moore
to win as high as the record of Gilroy's
kite
Up to the fatal 10th, Moore had a
chance to win, but the combined clever
ness, courage and hitting ability of Muir
ply sent him away back into the class
OF failures
Murphy, bleeding from an ear, with
split lips and in many ways damaged,
but with courage OF the kind that makes
the Irish race dominant in scrap,
waded into Pal and made him feel that
a downy pillow would be too hard for
his face to touch for many a day.
Pal was within the shadow of being
knocked out, and he was glad when the
bell rang that ended the milling.

PRIEST SAVED CHILDREN
By Holding Them Suspended Over River
While Train Passed.

Manchester, N. H., Dec. l6. Two girls,
Mary Burns and Rose Anslow, who live
in McGregorville, would undoubtedly
have been crushed to death beneath the
car wheels Of a passing train yester-
day on the railroad bridge at kellys
Falls but for the prompt action Of Rev,
Fr Bertrand Dolan Of Cambridge, Mass,
attached to st. Auselm's college.
The children we're sitting on the bridge
watching some Older companions who
were skating on the river below, when
suddenly the train bore down upon them.
The girls either did not notice its APP
prOaeh or were so overcome by fright
as to be unable TO run out Of danger.
The priest, who was passing, uumind-
ful Of the danger to himself, dashed up
on the bridge, and standing upon a foot
hold so narrow that the engine grazed
his clothing, and swinging them out
over the river. held them suspended un-
til the train had passed
The action of the clergyman is des.
cribed by witnesses as most heroic, as
he was in danger Of death.
