Tho principle of tho swindle Is old

the recipients of tho smoothly written

of beguiling cash from many Amer

and was still alive, ho concluded at
once that It was a schemo of some
kind to swindlo him. Ho decided to
follow tho matter up nnd replied to
as many as a dozen letters, while tho

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. Tho questions of tariff
will como up for Bottloment at an
caily date.
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
