FOX RETURNS
 WELL PLEASED
Believes English People Have Had Last of Plural
 Voting, However

New Haven, Jan. 1S.-George L. Fox. of New Haven, returned recent lly from his trip to England. where he has been for the last six weeks. working at the request of the Lib erals in the Parliamentary election contest which has just closed there. MT. Fox arrived in this city after most delightful trip on ly pleased with his reception abroad. He made eleven political speeches in southern England in behalf of the Liberals. This will make twenty five speeches in all that MT. Fox has made in the last two campaigns in England for the Liberal party, as he made number in favor of the Liber- al budget at the previous election. AS to the outcome of the present cleo tion and the prospects in that coun- try, MT. Fox said:
 ''I am sure they have had their las judgment this electioH sounded the death knell of plural. voting. The first thing that the liberal party will do after the veto resolutions have been passed will be to pass a law em- bOdying the principle of one vote on- ly to one man, which is the custom in all countries except England. am sure they have had their last plu- ral voting election in England, and I am rejoiced to think that I had a
 
 justice.
 The Tory party at present seems to have only one man of striking iu- tellectual powcr-Mr. B:llfour, who however. lacks many qualities of a successful leader At the present time some of the prnrecticn of his party are trying to dethr"ne him, but there is TO one in the party who can match him for intellect for a mo- ment.
 '.As compared with the liberals the Tory party is comparatively weak n strong men. The unrighteous sys- tenn of plural voting has been he main stay of that party in the past, and when that is abolished, one finds 1t hard to see how they can secure a return to power with a majority in the House of Commons, until some great change in public opinion has taken place. A party which has descended to such unscrupulous methods, as it used-the campaign just closed. and in the previous cam- paign, does not deserve the popular approval of honest men until it has brought forth works meet for repen- tence"
 In discussing his trip in a general way. MT. Fox, who is an enthusiast on English politics and who is thor he arrived in London after the cam paign had opened, but he was only too glad to reach the scene of the conflict and to be able to speak twice in behalf of MT. John Burns. MT. Fox was very generally welcomed at the subsequent political debates which followed, as being a man who was talking from an outside stand point, coming from the United States, and consequently being a man to whom all should gladly listen. For this reason his speeches were very we'll received-so we'll in fact, said MT. Fox last night, that he was only sorry that the closed season" arriv- ed in two weeks.
 '"The home rule bogie was pushed to the extreme" said MT. Fox. CT have always been a home ruler, but if I hadn't been I think I should have been made so by the unscrupu- lous and mean appeals made to race and religious prejudices.'
 Mir. Fox paid a high compliment to T. P. O'ConnOr as a speaker. And he also complimented the Irish mem bers and their leader, John Redmond, for their very creditab1e conduct in the campaign.
 MT. Fox says he found that the in- born instinct of the Englishmen, as ever, was enlisted on the side of fair play
