WILL RETAIN PIER LIBERAL VICTORY IN GREAT BRI TAIN ALMOST SURE. MAJORITY MAY BE A HUNDRED Conservative Force's Nearly Ready to Confess Their Defeat Balloting of Monday Will Forecast the Final Result, London. Sunday gave a welcome rcspito from the strenuous work at the election stations, and an opportun ity for calm reflection over the pros pects of both parties striving to gain control of tho government. The great est nnlmntlon prevailed at the clubs nnd other rendezvous of tho politi cians, and Saturday's results were ex citedly discussed from every possible viow point. Although both sides pie serve a sangulno air of confidence, it was evident that the conservatives have abandoned hope that their party will form tho next government. Tho utmost they daro to expect Is that the liberal majority will bo so reduced in tho next parliament as to place the liberals at the mercy of tho national ists. It must bo reniembeied that Mr. Balfour, leader of the opposition In tho house of commons, in a speech some days ago, said that tho great political issues now in question would not be settled by ono general election, and perhaps not by two Clearly, the ex-premier accurately measured the Bituation and tho hopes of tho tariff reformers must now be" centered upon some future general election. An estimate made after caieful cal culation by n well informed unionist, based on Saturday's pollings, gives tho liberals and laborites a clear majority of ninety or one hundred over all par ties, which would provide the liberal government with a good working ma jority. Many of tho unionists, however, nro less despondent. They do not be lieve thnt tho liberals will finish the election with so good a record as this. At tho national liberal club great satisfaction is expressed over the re sults so far. Some further losses aro expected at Glasgow and a reduced voto in tho English counties where the agricultural Interests would be likely to benefit from tariff reform and wheio the landed Interests have gieat influence. Tho pollings Monday which includes thirty-ono London constituencies and fifty-seven provincial boroughs, will provide a better index as to how the country Is going. Should the liberals retain the hold on the metropolis which they gained in 190G. their prospects will be regarded as much rosier than they appear now. At present, to sum up. nothing could ho predicted with absolute certainty, but only a very great Increase in the unionist gains over Saturday's results, when they gained only half the num ber of seats they had counted on, will give them a victory. If tho unionists continue to gain at the name ratio the liberals will still retain a majority somewhere in the neighborhood of ninety. Chancellor Lloyd-George said Sun day: "We aro winning. England is de claring emphatically against govern ment by tho peers and beer. Tho north Is ierwhelmlngly with us." John Burns, president of the local government board, said: "All things considered in the fight between those who have too much and those who havo too little, Saturday's results aro exceedingly good. London has done much better than I expected. In my judgment it has done supreme ly well. To win the seats that have been lost would have required almost superhumnn efforts." Will Crooks, the well-known labor leader, who was in Australia when tho budget crisis began, and has been run ning ngalnst time to reach London so that ho might take part In tho elec tions, arrived Sunday. Ho represents Woolwich In the house of commons and was received by his constituency wnn remniKaiue demonstrations. China Opens the Door. Peking. China has opened Hun Chun and Lun Chin Chun In Chlonlao, Manchuria, to International trade, not withstanding tho fnct that an agree ment has not been reached with Japan regnrdlng the matter of tho tariff's to be collected.

Hun Chun and Lun Chin Chun aro two of tho treaty ports provided for in tho agreement between Japan nnd China, signed at Peking, September 1, last, and designed to settle the Chlen tao boundary dispute between tho two countries. Recently a disagreement nroso over tne subject of Koioau Im migration into Chlentao. This and the question or tariff delayed the prom ised opening, which wns expected on January 1. Tho Importance of the opening of Hun Chun to foreign com merce is apparent when It !b under stood that tho town Is sltunted nine miles northeast of tho Korean boun lair, thlrty-Hvo miles nbovo the Ta inan river nnd less than one hundred miles from Vlndlvostock.
