COALITION, NET GAIN ONE
Government Whip Loses Seat in
High Peak.
END OF ELECTION IN SIGHT
There Are Now 643 Members of
Parliament-O'B Brien Has a
Victory and a Defeat.

IBy Cable to The Tribune
London, Dec 16.-The end of the gem
eral election is In sight There are now
643 Members of Parliament, and with
the completion of the polling on Mon
day the total will be increased to 6I0
Oswald Partington, one Of the govern
ment whips, lost his seat in the High
Peak division Of Derbyshire to-day. but
this Unionist gain was balanced by the
capture of the Leek division, Stafford
shire, for the Liberals by r. Pearce, of
daylight saving fame.
There is consequently no change in the
state of the parties, and coalition can
still boast OF net gain of one seat.
Walsh, an O'Brienite candidate, just
won South Cork from the Redmondites,
but O'Brien himself received a bad beat
ing in the eastern division of the country
from Captain Donelp, a popular Ma
tionalist whip. O'Brien, although al
ready elected for Cork city, is also con-
testing West Mayo, and in the event of
his success there would have been a by
election, as member can represent one
constituency only.
Seven O'Brienties, including the leader
of the party, have so far been elected.
The Unionists expect to capture East
Tyrone, which is being stoutIy defended
by w. A Redmond, a son of the Irish
leader; but the Nationalists talk just as
confidently Of winning South County,
Dublin.
These results will be announced to-
morrow.

MILLIONS FOR JAPAN'S NAVY
Must Be Kept Up to Modern
Standard. SAYS Premier.

Toxic. Dec 1S-The budget for 1911-12 as
finally completed was announced to-day as
follows: Receipts, ordinary. 1872. $4,000 yen;
extra ordinary, /4s, 96,973 yen; expenditures,
ordinary, 4O7, ,274 yen; extraordinary, 1885,
so, ,699 yen. A yen is equivalent to about
90 cents in American money.
MARQUIS Katsura. Premier and Minister
of Finance, says that the affairs of the
current year and the financial programme
have worked well. The programme will be
continued. During the last year the gov
ernment has had particularly heavy bur
den to carry. The navy has called for an
increased expenditure in order to avoid
the criticism Of neglect in the face of the
advances made by other powers. The an
nexa ton of Corea and disastrous floods
have added materially to the extraordinary
expenses. Marquis Katsura lays down
these two rules as effective in directing
the policy Of the government:
1. To maintain the balance Of revenue and
expenditure III the general estimates. and
not to look to loans as financial resources.
2. To maintain the programme of the an
nual redemption of the public debt by an
amount of 5ooOO,000 yen or more.
He says that the government has COM
mitted itself to these principles.
the next six years in supplementing and
improving the navy. Fifteen million yen Is
appropriated for the next fiscal year. The
Minister says that the Conspicuous inno-
vations'' adopted by other powers in the
types of their warships has made 1t neces-
sary for Japan to somewhat increase its
naval expenditure, not because OF any
danger arising from differences with other
countries, but because the navy of Japan,
while not endeavoring to compete with or
surpass those of other nations, must be
kept up to a modern standard. Incl
dentaIly, the Minister states that Japan's
relations with other governments are most
amica BILE
Next years estimate for railways is near
ly 81. 600. 900 yen. This amount is required,
the Premier says, because of the determi-
nation of the government to improve the
railroad system. Commencing next year
the reconstruction of the main line into
broad gauge road will be undertaken. A
loan for this purpose will probably be
raised, but it will be in the nature of a
special account. for which the railways will
be made responsible. The time and place
of raising this loan will depend wholly
upon economic conditions at home and
abroad.

OVER THE ICE TO SHORE
Hundred Passengers Make Per-
ilOus Trim.

Sandusky, Ohio, Dec 16-After being i'm
prisoned for over six hours on the steamer
Lakeside. caught in an ice drift four miles
from this port, one hundred passengers
reached land in safety tonight by peril
Gus trip on foot over the broken ice. All
suffered intensely from the extreme cold
which accompanied blizzard that swept
over the bay. Fifteen women and children
afraid to make the trip, are still on the
vessel
There is practically no sleeping accommo-
dation on the steamer, and only sufficient
food for the crew, as the boat only plies
between Put-In-Bay and here, journey of
couple of hours under ordinary condi-
tions. When il was found that there was
no possibility of breaking through the drift
which extends for more than six hundred
feet, the journey on foot was decided upon.
In addition to the wind, cold and darkness
the peril was made much more serious by
the existence of numerous wind holes No
accidents occurred, however.

GUERRA OUT OF CUBAN ARMY
Gomez Finally Accepts Com
mander's Resignation.

Havana, Dec. 16.-The resignation OF
Major General Pine Guerra as commander
in chief OF the army, which was accepted
to-day by President Gomez is the absorb
ing topic of conveIs saton in the capital to-
night. Speculation is rife az to what course
the chieftain of the revolution In 1906 is
likely to take.
General Guerra left Camp Columbia this
evening and returned to his private resi-
dence in Havana. He declines to discuss
the affair. In his letter of resignation he
says he never attributed to the govern
ment any participation In the recent at
tempt to assassnate him, but complaints
that since the occurrence President Gomez
has treated him as one suspected of plot
ting against the government, even going
to the length of stripping the troops under
his command of their arms and ammuni-
ton. He says. also, that he prefers again
to take up his civilian garb rather than
wear a dshonored uniform.
large number of officers friendly to
General Guerra proposed TO tender their
designations, but were deferred by the an
nouncement that such a course would be
followed by their arrest charge of con-
spiracy and mutiny.
The relations between the commander in
chief and the President have been strained
for some time. and General Guerra recent
ly offered his resignation, which. however.
at the time President Gomez declined to
accept 1t is understood that General
Guerra insisted upon retiring.
The President has offered the general
special foreign mission to study the armies
of Europe, but this was declined the
ground that the generals health, I'm conse-
ouence of the recent attack made upon him,
was not such as to permit him to leave
home.
