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

TIFL1S. Jan. 13. Nearly $50 persons were

Armenian seminary following the throw

a passing patrol. Four Cossacks were
wounded and a boy waa killed by the ex

persons perished during the conflagration,

Thla was the unequivocal statement made
by Governor Mickey to a reporter for The
Bee Friday afternoon. 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

with the manner in which trie Institution
Is conducted and the results accomplished.
He commented on the wonderful Improve

nothing at the school to criticise but every
