Result of English Elections Is Not Satisfactory Reactionaries OtL numbered, But Can Still Put Up a Nasty Fight Party Lines Break. Liberals Theoretically In Control Home Rule for Ireland Must First Be Taken Care of Harmonious v Action Is Not Expected. 'LONDON, Dec. 28. Lendors of llio rival parlies in the English elec tions, ihiw (hat the balloting is over, are reviewing the results to see how IliuV .ciiine out in the tight. Neither side appears very well pleased with the result. The pro gressives have a majority, but it i- a coalition majority, which may fall to pieces. Tho reactionary pnrt, (hough outnumbered, still have enough seats to put up a uuty fight. In their rank, however, there i- also dissension. Pmty linos in Eng laud .seem to he breaking down, and it is tho opinion of thosd who huc been studying closely the elections that it is difficult to ascertain whih side will be dominant when the reor ganization of pailianicnl is complet ed the reactionaries or the pro gressives. The liberals are theoretically in control. Leaving the Irish and La bor! t us out of consideration, tho lib erals aad the conservatives are al most evenly balanced. Mow far the liberalls can count on the support of the nationalist )md labor members i a ipiostion that is puzzling the cild ers. The Irish members demand thai home rule must be taken care of first, and until it is, they will give the liberals no aid. Tho laboritcs demand that "Osborne judgment,' which bars them from effective rep resentation in parliament, must be upset before anv of the liberal pro gram is undertaken. Either home rule or the "Osborno judgment" must take second nluoe, and Iho loudct, see in this fact- a chance for dimen sion whioh may split the coalitioi light al tho start of tho session. In cas'o this split should occur, it is believed that the laboritcs and nn lionalistH would simply declijie ti vole, leaving it a matter for tho lib erals and conservatives to fight out among themselves. Without tho sup port of tho coalition votes the lib eral program would be doomed, it N said. The. liberal partv itself I split between the ullrn-progrev.iei-and the consorvatie liberals, who d. not join in tho ultra-progressive de mand for homo rule for 1 1 eland, tin overthrow of the "Osborne judg ment," the abolition of Iho vein power of (he lords and similar mcn urofi. Tho concerted, harmonious ac tions of these factions, even if then is no split at the start, can hardly be expected to" long continue. LORIMER SLATED FOR JOLTS FROM SENATE WASHINGTON, D.
