Surprising Victory Attained by Party Campbell-Bannerinan in Great Bri in's Long and Bitter Fiscal Cainpalj ?Result Creates a Profotmd Sentatii Throughout the Kinsdoui. London. England.?Tl)e political mr of England underwent a strikii change as the result of parliaments elections held in thirty-nine constit encies in widely-scattered but impoi ant centres, and iu which the Libera {rained eignteen seats, xue i^aourue who are counted among the Liber gains, secured four new seats again I Unionist candidates. L In the Eastern division of Manche A ter Arthur J. Balfour, former Prin Minister, was defeated by T. G. Ho ^ ridge. Liberal, who was conceded ev< I by the Liberals a weak Candida IS against such a person as Mr. Balfou W Mr. Horrldge secured the remarkab [ majority of 19S0. This victory, nc withstanding the Liberal prediction was a decidedly sensational outcome < the day's polling, and will, it is b *"v- lieved, enormously affect the election which will continue for a fortnight. ? Everywhere the Liberal majority were increased and the net result < the first day's contest between tl great political parties was overwhelr lngly in favor of the present Gover ment. About a score of members were r turned unopposed in the course of tl day, among tl^em being John E. Re raond. William O'Brien, James Willia Lowther, Speaker of the House < ' Commons, and Sir Edward Carson, ] C.. the former Solicitor General. . Little disorder attended the pollii at any places, .though Free Traders i Birmingham who attempted to engaj in ?n nnti-Phnmhprlnin demonstrate were roughly handled. A mob of tari reformers effectually prevented the d livery of speeches, tried to duck tl leaders of the Free Traders in a fou tain and ultimately routed them, strong body of police intervened ar prevented serious fighting, -which i one time threatened to be the outcon of the political warfare. The excitement at Manchester w: intense, and the candidates and the constituents worked with feverish a tivity, especially in the district M Balfour was contesting, when repor were circulated late in the afternoc that Mr. Balfour was in danger of d feat. In spite of the rain Mrs. Con wallis-West, Mr. Churchill's mothe and Miss Balfour, the former Premier sister, proved themselves splendid suj portejrs of their respective candidate actively helping to get out the vote ac swaying undecided electors. The returns coming in late at nigt from all points created a profound sei sation in political circles. Fleet stre< was packed with howling mobs. Poll icai clubs received the returns by spi cial wires and everywhere the defeat c Mr. Balfoar was received- as a mos complete surprise. Then as Libert gain was added to Liiberai gain, it wa agreed that the Liberal majority in th next Parliament would show the ove whelming decision of the country. The results augur well for Horn Rule for Ireland, to which the preset Premier is favorably inclined. Nc since the regime of Gladstone has Ir< land's chances been better than the would seem at this hour. In this r< spect the manifesto issued by th United Irish League has had deep ei feet in influencing voters. In retur for this the Liberal leaders are es pected to use their influence for Horn Rule, which will be urged with greate force than ever in the next Parliamen John Redmond drew up the man festo at the meeting of the Executiv Council of the League. It declare that the first duty of the Irish voter in Great Britain was to "aid to th utmost in the discomfiture of the grea coalition which has inflicted such in mense injuries on their own country." Mr. Balfour addressed a gathering t the Conservative Club in Manchestei He acknowledged the gravity of th disaster, but predicted short life fc the Liberal Government. He urge the Unionists to continue their wor fnv nnrtv nnrl thf> future reversi of tbe results. Of course, Mr. Balfour will find ai other safe seat before tbe elections ai over, by one of tbe Unionist cand dates retiring in his favor. . CAUGHT AFTER SEVEN YEAR!

It is understood that the e* purpose sought, admitting the alleged le charge of the President to be true, is to a" prevent joint Statehood between Arlzona and New Mexico, which would ?} give the mining and railroad interests of these Southwest Territories only two United States Senators, and to insist on having each Territory made a separ1 ate State with two Senators each. Present indications are that if the }z, "lid" i9 taken ofE this Statehood situation one of the worst scandals which e" Congress has been subjected to in many years will be aired. Whatever the course of procedure adopted, opinj ion is general that the alleged state*7 ment of the President cannot be let go p unchal'enged, for if it were every mem- | ie bpr who should vote acainst the Ham ilton bill would be under suspicion.

Cambridge. Mass.?Football bas been abolished at Harvard, pending a reform in the game that will be acceptable to the Board of Overseers, according to an official announcement at the university. The discontinuance of the game is a result of a vote taken last week at a secret meeting of the overseers, when it was decided that intercollegiate football at Harvard ^ould not be permitted until the rules and regulations had been so changed and amended as to remove what the overseers regard as the evils of the present game. The overseers accepted unanimously the opinions of a special committee | that the game as at present played is essentially bad In every respect, tdat the methods of formation encourage trickery and foul play and that the result is bad for the morals of the players as well as for the body. The committee declared that if changes were to b? made nr> mail ft member of the so-called Intercollegiate Rules Committee shouuld hare a hand in It, the committee believing that these persons are so far committed to the present system that they could not agree to such chauges as are absolutely necessary to produce a decent, clean, pleasureable contest, "instead of the present apology for a rough and tumble fight." President Eliot, in an interview, said: "I for one shall never consent to intercollegiate football being resumed at Harvard until it has been demonstrated in actual play that the objectionable features of the game have been ruled out. A mere paper reform will not secure my sanction. "Let the game under the new rules | be played by teams made up entirely of our own students, as for instance by two class teams. Then if we find that the reform is actual and not a mere paper reform, we, will invite other colleges to play with us." That Yale is to follow Harvard is stated bv a reDresentative of President I Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia, who said: "You will 6ee Yale taking a similar 6tep in a very short time. The authorities here have information which leads them to believe that Yale is only waiting for an opportunity to follow the lead of Harvard and Columbia.'; The Harvard varsity eleven elected Hatherly Foster, '07, captain of the team for 1906. Foster played left halfback on la6t year's eleven. His home is in Brookllne, Mass. MARSHALL FIELD DEAD. *'* Rich Chicago Merchant Succumbs to Pneumonia in New York City. New York City .-Marshall Field, of Chicago, the richest merchant in the world, the largest individual taxpayer in the United States, and, perhaps, the third wealthiest citizen in the country, died at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at the Holland House of exhaustion following pneumonia. Nearly all of the great merchant's relatives and friends were with or near him when the end came. Not long before his death, he lapsed into a state of coma, and remained unconscious to the end. "Mr. Field had been ill about seven days. He had caught cold playing golf at Chicago week before last, and this was added to by the draughts incidental to his trip to this city. Though the fact that he started on the journey while not in the best of health, despite his seventy years, gave rise to the belief that something very pressing had summoned him to NeW York, close questioning of his friends revealed nothing more important as the object of his journey than the desire to see the automobile shows. PHILIPPINE BILL PASSES. Tote 258 to 72?Republican Insurgents Number 57. Washington, D.C.?The House passed the Philippine Tariff bill by a vote of 258 to 72, after a long day of roughand-tumble argument over amend ments.

Warning by Chief of Police Colllnta* More Men Neeited on the Force to Drives Touch* From Street*. Chicago, III.?Seventeen women have been murdered in Chicago in the last twelve months. In consequence of the warning of Chief of Police Collins, women in all parts of I he city now have escorts after dark. The Chief says: "I would warn women not to make any display of jewelry or of purses in crowds. The habit of some women of showing their gems and opening their poeketbooks in crowds leads young hoodlums to follow them. The young degenerate finds it easy to snatch a woman's pocketbook or follow a woman who is wenring diamond earrings or a diamond sunburst. "If we hod enough policemen on beat tva oould drive all the sanss of vouns fellows off the streets. "The meagre police force of the present day Is (Joins excellent work. We have had fewer cases of dereliction of duty before the police trial board than ever before. The population of Chicago has Increased and the police force has decreased. The City Council should allow me 1000 more men; then the hoodlums would be driven off the streets."

C.?The first intimation that President Roosevelt has given of any plans which he may have formed for his time after he retires from the Presidency was afforded two or three days ago in a conversation with a friend at the White House. The President said that it was his present intention to visit Central Africa as soon as possible after his retirement from office on March 4, 1909, to hunt tigers and elephants.

"With the sole exception of the lo of family and home that the avera Filipino possesses. I can see nothi bright in the Filipino character," declared. Mr. Longworth was giving his o^ views, not the reflected views of t President or any one else. This.spee was his third since he became a mei | ber of the House, two years ago.

Fort Sam Houston, Texas, tbe officers and men of the Sixth Battery of United States Field Artillery are In Fort ive Sam Houston looking like veterans of many battles. But they are in good as health and feel that the trip was worth fr* the trouble. 'th it was a hard trip. The winter road? in Texas and Oklahoma are the worst ke in the world, and many times the officers of the battery almost concluded ul* to give it up and report that tbe march is- was impossible. But their pluck and nd the encouragement given by the people uv along the way helped them along. With weather-stained guidons fluttering in the breeze and the Twenty-sixth v0 Infantry band at their head playing ge "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," the men of the Sixth Battery ne finished the longest march during peace times in the history of the United Yn States Army at 11.30 o'clock in the morning at Fort Sam Houston. cl1 The arrival of the battery was made the occasion of a celebration among the soldiers. A squadron of the First Cav8 airy and the Fifteenth Battery of on Field Artillery, commanded by Major Lotus Niles^met the incoming battery four miles outside of the city limits and. ^ escorted them to the post. Near Brackenridge Park the band and a ' ?' company of the West Texas Military Academy Cadets joined the column, h"- Captain George W.

"Since entering Texas our days he have been spent in one long fight with the mud.

How It Often Happens From Coffee. "I had no idea," writes a Dulutfc man, "that it was the coffee I had been drinking all my life that was responsible for the headaches which were growing upon me, for the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve, and for the acute nervousness which un-" fitted me not only for work but nlsc for the most ordinary soda', functions. "But at last tlie truth dawned upon me, I forthwith bade the harmful beverage a prompt farewell, ordered in some Postum and began to use It. The good effects of the new food drink were apparent within a very few days. My headaches grew less frequent, and decreased in violence, my stomach grew strong and able to digest my food without distress of any kind, my nervousness has gone and I am able to enjoy life with my neighbors and sleep sound- J ly o'nights. My physical strength and Jm nerve power have increased so much that I can do double the work I ueed 1 to do, and I feel no uudue fatigue afterwards. "This improvement set in just as * soon as the old coffee poison had so T*rn,'L-or? /Mif nf mT? cretdm us tr, nllntv* the food elements in the Postum to get a hold to build me up again.
