DEFEAT FOR FREE TRADE

Manchester, Dec. 3.-Lancashire is be-
ginning to shake of its Cobdenite tradi
tions.
That is fair conclusion from the re-
suits of to-days elections. Four free
trade seats in the home of the British
cotton trade, Ashton, South Stafford
Warrington and Wigan, having been
caAured by the tariff reforners, while
the Liberal majorities in most Of the
other Lancastrian constituencies in
which a battle was fought to-day have
been reduced
On the other hand. Southwest Man
chester. which the Unionists won in the
last election as the result Of a split in
the Liberal vote. has returned free
traders and the Unionists are bitterly
disappointed at the failure Of Bonar Law
to win the Northwest Manchester dis
trict from Sir George Kemp. Mr.. Law
is admittedly one of the ablest exponents
Of the policy of tariff reform in this
country and IL was at the special re-
quest of Mr. Balfour that he gave up a
safe seat In London TO attack the Lab
eral stronghold. %
North Manchester again returns free
traders from all six divisions. but the
Lancashire Unionists. nevertheless, ap-
pear perfectly satisfied with the progress
that has been made to-day in the cause
OF tariff reform.

NO FEDERAL HEALTH BUREAU
Its Creation TO Go Over Until Next
Congress
From THe Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. Dec. 3-There will be no
legislation looking TO the establishment of
a Department or Bureau Of Health at the
coming session of Congress-. according TO
Representative Mann, chairman OF the In
terstate Commerce Committee. Various bills
have been introduced providing for the Gre
alton of a department to combine all gov
ernmentaI functions relating TO the public
health. The measure stirred up great oppo-
sition last year. and long hearings were held
before the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee. The whole question will be dropped at
the present session and left for the Demo-
Gratis TO deal with. which probably means
that nothing will be accomplished until
the Republicans return 10 power.
