LONDON, Jan. Ul The general election opened thla morning and by 19 o'clock the name of the first member of the new Par liament M announced. Sir Christopher Furnees, liberal, being returned for Hartle pool. Sir Christopher, however, waa not opposed. A little later the scor waa evened by the unopposed re-election of Austin Tay lor for East Toxteth. In the course of the day two more liberals were elected without contest. Nominations were made today In ISO bor oughs. The elections In these boroughs will commence tomorrow and last for several days. The liberals made an encouraging start in the election struggle today by winning another aeat at Ipswich, which elected the two liberal candidates by large majorities. Daniel Ford Goddard waa re-elected and Felix Cob bold defeated Charles Dalrymple, who for several years has represented Ipswich ki the conservative Interest. Ips wich waa the only borough which polled today. For the last ten years the borough has returned one conservative and one liberal. Thus Ipswich, which In 1886 gave the first electoral decision against Glad alone' a borne rule bill, has given the first blow to Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal pro gram and In favor of free trade. Opponent af Gladstone. Sir Chartea Dalrymple, the unseated mem ber, la a barrister and land owner, and waa considered a good enough candidate in 18 to bo put up against Gladstone In the famous Midlothian campaign. He was de feated then, but was elected for Ipswich In im and baa held the aeat alnce. The polling was unusually heavy, show ing how deeply the country Is stirred by the fecal struggle. On of the remarkable featurea of the campaign Is the extraordinary number of eats handed over to the liberals without any attempt of the unionists to contest them. This Is attributed In conaervatlve circles to the belief that the liberals wiU win the election. It being argued that It Is better to rerve the conservative strength . for a later struggle, which la anticipated afu-r 4rte-Btwre2o,'vfheia office for a ' year or two, when the unionists consider that the chances of their being returned to power will be more promising. aaeattaa af Majority. ' There is, however, great uncertainty on all sides as to the extent of the liberal victory. The liberal enthusiasts claim that j their party will have a working majority , without Irish Nationalists, but more con- I ervatlve estimates give Premier Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman a majority of only sixty or seventy, leaving the Irish nation- j allsts the balance of power. ' Arthur Balfour's seat. East Manchester, appears endangered. 'Winston Churchill's amasing vitality and enthusiasm have spread beyond bis own division (Oldham, near Manchester) and have infected the whole city of Manchester. The liberals ' claim that they will capture tomororw , several seats there which during the last Parliament were held by unionists. There Is little betting on the general re sult, aa the earlier elections, on which the fate of such Important candidates as Mr. - Balfour, George Wyndham (conservative. 1 Dover)," Sir Gilbert Parker (conaervatlve, Gravesend), and Winston Churchill, all of ! whose contests take place tomorrow, are liable te have widespread Influence on the oter In the later electlona. At some of . the liberal clubs the odda of to 4 have been laid against the re-election of Mr. Balfour. Much Interest attaches to the efforts of the labor party to secure the return of a sufficient number of members to make the Independent labor party an effective force In the House of Commons. Borne eighty candidates, laborers and socialists, are run ning. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. It The work men's council, after consultation with the dere of the other proletariat organisa a. dclded thst the celebration of the 'ersary of January 2J (red Sunday) ' take the form of a general pacific far a single day.. Delegates were a. . -d to go to France. Germany and Etand, as well as other places abroad, for the purpose of thanking the workers of these countries who propose to Join In a general observance of the anniversary. The Nasha Shlsn says Admiral Doubee eoff, governor general of Moscow, will suc ceed Count von Vorontxoff-Dashkoft aa viceroy of the Caucasus. The Novoe Vremya today says that the official figures show that 285 persons were killed during the recent uprising at Mos cow. According to the news from the Baltic prlvlnoes Governor General Sollagub Is fol lowing the example of the government In the CaucuKus In the confiscation of other property on the ground that It baa been used for revolutionary purposes. He also ordered the military to seise the deposits In the Letts' savings bank and to hold them until It is proved that the money s not Intended for the purchase of arms or to furnish the rebellion. The fact that a number of Infernal ma chines addressed to Premier Wltte, Interior Minister Durnovo and other high officials, have been discovered in the postofnee. In dicates that a regular group of terrorists is at work, but the offorts of the police to trace their origin bas been unavailing. A detachment of Infantry surrounded the town of Novomin-k, Russian Poland, at daybreak yesterday and captured a large number of revolutionists. An examination of the midget statement which was Issued last night reveals many Interesting facts. Although the stock of gold In the state banks and abroad at the opening and close of the war increased from $031,000,000 to $672,000,000. the gold cir culation In the country In the same period decreased S4S.000.000. while the paper In creased $224,000,000. The statement explains that all the payments In Manchuria were In paper, the entire proceeds of the foreign loans being employed to pay foreign war obligations and the Interest on the public debt. Exclusive of the loans being nego tiated to balance the budget of 190$. the war resulted in an Increase of the interest charges to $?11, 500,000. No details are given of the lump sum of $302,500,000 allotted for the liquidation of the war expenses. TIFL1S. Jan. 13. Nearly $50 persons were killed or injured as an outcome of an at tack made by Cossacks yesterday on the Armenian seminary following the throw ing of two bombs from that Institution at a passing patrol. Four Cossacks were wounded and a boy waa killed by the ex plosion of the bombs. Artillery was imme dlately called up and the seminary was sur rounded and shelled. The building soon burst into flames and the bombs and car trtdgea stored there exploded. Thirty-three persons perished during the conflagration, while 300 were injured by fire or wounded by shells. The troops subsequently shelled another Armenian bouse where bombs and weapons were hidden and killed the revolu tionists. . WARSAW.

I signed the lease, but did not read It. The leases read that we were to lease the land to the cattle company for ninety-nine years for the corridor of the prison, as the woman's department la filled and every bed occupied. The prison officials are firm in the belief that Mrs. Chadwick Is Madame Devere. for after she had Sled her name with the clerk the following entry waa made In the book of the prison: "Mrs. Cassie L.

The question was prompted by repeated reports that If he did not try to become senator from Nebraska at the next session of the legis lature he would court a third term as governor. The governor replied without hesitation that he had no designs on either office and to the contrary looked forward with considerable satisfaction to the close of his scrrlce as chief executive of the state. To use his own words, he expressed an opinion that be had had "honors enough." Visits School for Deaf. The governor spent part of the day In Omaha Inspecting the State School for the Deaf, which he had' not visited for two years. He went through every department and class room and was Immensely pleased with the manner in which trie Institution Is conducted and the results accomplished. He commented on the wonderful Improve ments In the vocal achievements of pupils whom he had observed two years before. The governor remarked that he found nothing at the school to criticise but every thing to praise. "I see a boom has been launched for State Treasurer Mortensen for governor." said Governor Mickey.
