TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1910. IRISH WILL HAVE ASQUITH AT MERCY Unionists Continue to Cut Down Majority of Liberal Allies. NORTH IS AGAINST SOUTH Tariff Reform Makes Steady Gain and Alliance of Lords, Beer and Bible Is Irresistible Among Rural British Voters. HOW KLBCTTOXS HAVE RE.SCT.TEI LOXDON. Jan. 21. From return received late tonight the status of the various parties in the general lections folkrwa: TTnlonints 1S4 Liberals 131 Iborites . ...................... 3a Nationalists . 5S Cialns: Unionist . 81 LI berals . ........................10 Laboiites 1 LONDON, Jan. 21. From returns an nounced of today's voting in the Parlia mentary elections, the Unionists gained ten seats and the Liberals none. In today's polling, Reginald McKenna, first Lord of the Admiralty, was re turned victorious over E. G. M. Carml chael. Unionist, for Abergavenny, Mon mouthshire, and William Abraham, La borite. was re-elected for Rhondda Val ley by 8965. The political tide continues to trend toward Conservatism. Forty-eight con stituencies declared their choice today, and positions of the opposing armies tonight are practically where they were last night, with the Tories slowly forc ' ing their adversaries backward. There la hardly a question that the Irian will hold the whip hand over Premier Asqulth in ' the coming Parliament and that it will be a critical .and exciting session. Unionists Gain Steadily. ; The Unionists have made steady gains In the popular vote almost throughout Kngland and to a much lesser extent Jn Scotland and Wales, but all parties and factions of parties claim the results are a vindication of their policies. "Broadly speaking," says the Nation tonight, "the force and direction of the two great election currents are clear. The North stands against the Souths ' Scotland and Wales and Yorkshire, Lan cashire, northeastern corners of Eng- ! land, against the midlands, home coun- ! ties and the nearby solid Southern 'Coast." The Unionists stoutly claim that the result Is a victory for tariff reform. The Liberals deny It stubbornly. They de ' clare that the feudal status of the counties is responsible for the Con servative gains, and charge the trium virate the lords, the church and the publicans with overawing their de pendents and followers by practicing widespread intimidation and threaten ing them with loss of work. From the opposition-point of view the conserva tism of the counties is due to the loy alty of the people to the House of Lords, their fear of socialism and a de sire for protection. Home Rule Issue to Front. The-home-rule question, with the Na tionalists the dominant party in the al liance in the new Parliament, will be come Invested with an importance It has not held in the campaign. Mr. As qulth declared In the campaign that the Liberals would be free in the new Par liament, as they were not in the old, to support a measure for full self-government to Ireland, purely on Irish affairs and subject to the maintenance unim paired of the supremacy of the imperial Parliament. The Irish people generally had construed the promises of Mr. As qulth to mean more than this, and pro tests are being raised among the home rulers. It Is probable that a home-rule bill will be introduced but not pressed at the coming session, and that the atten tion of the Government will be centered upon the budget. Places Sought for Ministers. Places for Joreph Albert Pease, chief Liberal whip: Sir Henry Norman. Assist ant Postmaster-General, and Colonel J. E. B. Seeley, Under-Secretary for the Colonies, whose constituents snowed them under, soon may be found, one by the promotion of Herbert Gladstone to the Governor-Generalship of South Africa and the others by the shelving of some older ministers by raising them to the peerage. Premier Asqulth. Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Lloyd-George, Chief Secretary for Ireland Blrrell, President of the Board of Trade. Churchill and other members of the Cabinet made speeches tonight. These threw no new light upon the situa tion, although Mr. Asquith's declarations did not have the confident ring that here tofore has been the case. . J. A. Bryoe, brother of the Ambassador to the United States, supported by a large majority In Inverness; Rudolph C. Leh xnann, famous oarsman, and Lewis Ver non Harcourt are among the prominent Liberals re-elected. Riots in Several Towns. The elections continue to be enlivened by scenes of turbulence. Mr. Pease at Saffron Walden, Essex, today was pursued by a hostile mob, and a prominent broker, Mr. Leen, who was unsuccessful as a Liberal candidate, was greeted with groans and a general uproar when he appeared on tlie floor of the stock exchange. Timothy Healy, famous Rationalist, had an experience similar to that of Mr. Pease, when the result of his narrow victory In the north division of Louth, Ireland, was announced today, It required a large force of police to get him safely to his home. He Buffered no greater damage than the loss, of his hat. Mob Bums Foreign Goods. Serious rioting occurred tonight at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, 28 miles northwest of London. A crowd sacked a "dump show." where foreign imports were being displayed as electoral object lessons. They piled contents of the "dump" in the roadway and burned them nd then smashed all windows in the Conservative Club, amid shouts of "Dump! dump!" The police and the dre brigade had difficulty In preventing the mob from doing other damage. Many arrests were made. These Results Notable. London University re-elected Sir Philip Magnus, Unionist. Joseph Albert Pease, the chief Liberal whip, has been defeated In the Saffron-Walden division of Essex, Colonel D. J. Proby, Unionist, winning by 272 majority. A notable Tory victory was the gain of the Scottish seat for Perthshire by Marquis Tullibardine, who turned the previous Liberal advantage of 803 into ja. Unionist majority of 298. . In .Londpnaerry Cltj Stume Leslio lost to Marquis Hamilton, Unionist, who secured the narrow majority of 57. Leslie is the son of Colonel Leslie, who married the youngest daughter of Leonard Jerome, of New York City. When young Leslie turned Nationalist, he rechrlstened himself Shane. Colonel Leslie, who is a stanch Tory, promptly disowned his son. Albert Victor Grayson. Socialist, lost his seat in the Colne Valley division of "Yorkshire, West Riding, to the Lib eral candidate, C. Leach. Yorkshire returns continue to favor free trade candidates by large majorities, Joseph Walton, who has been a frequent vis itor to the United States, and W. Hoi land carrying Barnsley and Rotherham divisions, respectively, by majorities In the neighborhood of 7000. In Ireland J. Devlin, Nationalist, in Belfast West Increased his earlier major ity to B87. while at Belfast South T. H. Sloan, an Independent Unionist and strong temperance advocate, has been turned out by J. Chambers, a straight Unionist and tariff reformer. FOREST BUREAU CONTESTS Asserts Mail Carrier Has Xo Right to Claim in Palouse. MOSCOW, Idaho, Jan. 21. (Special.)

LUCON DEFENDSACT Cardinal Says He's Not Enemy of Schools. LETTER CATHOLIC WARNING Archbishop of Rheims, Taking Stand in Own Defense In Trial, Declares He Only Objects to Textbooks and Teaching Methods. "" RHEUMS, France, Jan. 21. Cardinal Lucon, Archbishop of Rheims, appeared before the bar in his own behalf today at the continuation of the suit instituted against him by the public school teachers charging that in signing the episcopal letter warning Catholic parents against V if - "... . . - I ;V'j the public schools he had designed to destroy the teachers' authority. The Cardinal read a statement in which he denied that the episcopal letter had been inspired by political considerations, adding: "Its sole purpose was to warn Catho lic parents, of the danger to the faith and the morals of their children incurred In the use of certain textbooks and the method of instruction in the public schools. "To complain that the public schools are becoming an instrument of Dechris tlanization does not constitute an at tack upon the political regime of France.' The defendant dented that the bishops who signed the letter were enemies of the teachers. In conclusion. Tie ex pressed the conviction that the court would recognize the church's right to de fend the faith publicly attacked. , "France," he said, "will ratify this Judgment because it comprehends that we aro the real defenders of conscience and the champions of Its sacred liberties.' KNOX'S PLAN REJECTED RUSSIA BELIEVES HE SCHEMES FOR NEW RAILROAD. Aiguu Line Aceptable in Prinpiplc, but Harbin Dispute Must Be Settled First. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 21,. The de livery of the Russian and Japanese an swers to the note of Secretary Knox pro posing the neutralization of the Man churian railways, both of which were in the negiative, marks merely the begin ning of protracted negatiations to deter mine the future status of Manchuria. The proposal for the purchase of the existing railroads in Manchuria as for mulated by Secretary Knox is considered here to have been put forward largely with the Idea of again getting Russia and Japan on record, since the rejection of the proposal was foreordained from the moment Japan was included in it. The tenor of the memorandum Indicated that Mr. Knox did not "expect any ac ceptance of his proposition, but had based hopes on an alternative proposal for the neutralization of the Chin-Chow-Aigun and future railroads and for building up a powerful organization that would be in position to support China when the date of the optional repurchase, 1939, ar rived. The foreign office here has been most keen to ascertain' further details con cerning the Chin-Chow-Aigun Rail way proposal. The foreign office re peatedly has sounded Mr. Rockhill American Ambassador, concerning this proposal, not so much to learn the gen eral financial arrangement,- since that admittedly is based on the Hankow Mukden scheme, but to learn whether the line north of Tsitsihar would be abandoned and whether Russia's spe cial interests would be recognized in the building and operation of the north sections of the railroad. It has been pointed out to the Associated Pres3 that the line to the northward would be unprofitable and that Russia was in a position to block the crossing of its railroad zone, whereas the Tsitsihar Chin-Chow would be a trunk line for heavy through freight, passengers and mails. ' Russia's final attitude on the question will depend largely on the spirit in which the United States approaches the question of the administration of Har bin. M. Kokovsoff, Minister of Finance, and M. Iswolsky, Minister of Foreign Affairs, are exasperated at the dif Acuities raised by this question. M Iswolsky recently told Mr. Rockhill that the United States would drive Russia to arms with Japan if it per sisted In its uncompromising attitude concerning; the Harbin administration, 1 1 The Entertainment Pages ', The Idea Club Furnishing a Home The Doctor's Page Making Furniture at Home Mothers' Devices Mrs. Sangster's Page THE GREATER i WOMAN'S HOME COMCffilOM arx Though the text of Japan's answer to the Knox proposal has not been received here, it is known to correspond closely with that of Russia.

TOKIO, " Jan. 21. The reply of the Japanese government to the United States Government, for the neutraliza tion of the Manchurlan Railways, was handed to American Ambassador O'Bri en this afternoon. It is a polite de clination. No intimation of the contents of the memorandum of the reply is given, but the best information obtainable indi cates that the reply, is brief, and the declination to accept the neutralization proposition is based on several grounds, the chief of which are: The American plan would be of no advantage whatever to Japan. It would afford no advantage to China. It would not change the commercial situation In Manchuria, where Japan is adhering strictly to its pledges of an open door and equal opportunity. It is understood that the reply is couched in terms of friendly appreci ation of the American purpose, but it is not of an argumentative character, and its conclusions are not qualified. CHINA APPROVES RAILWAY American Capital to Construct $4 0, 000,000 Road in Manchuria. PEKIN, Jan. 21. An Imperial rescript is issued approving the preliminary agreement signed at Mukden on October 2 by Wtllard D. Straight, the American Consul-General, the British representative and the Viceroy1 of Manchuria for the 'construction of the Chinchow-Aigun Railway in Manchuria with capital pro vided by a group of American financiers.

Dr. George M. Rubenstein, of this city, yes terday was advised by a letter from Cop enhagen. Denmark, that he had been named as beneficiary in the will of Adolph M.

While it failed to give any In formation concerning the value of the estate, or the extent to which Dr. Rub enstein will share in Its distribution. It is known that the decedent was the owner of mines in Alaska reputed to be worth several hundred thousand dollars. "I first became acquainted with Mr. Laut in 1905 when he called at my office and purchased a pair of eyeglasses." said Dr. Rubenstein last night. "I was surprised about 18 months later to see him re-enter my office but he was not wearing the glasses and when I asked him what had become of them he told me he had lost them. He explained that he wanted another pair but told me he could not pay for them at the time and wanted to know If I would wait until he could send me the money.

"On his second visit, the old miner ex plained to me that he was the owner of valuable mines in Alaska for which he had just refused an offer of $100,000 from Denver capitalists. I suggested to him that it might be advisable for him to ac cept the offer, but he demurred, saying that the property was worth at least $1,000,000. He then left the office and that was the last I either saw or heard of him until the arrival of today's letter.

Dr. Rose said: "I find conditions have been grossly exaggerated and business conditions here are very much better than I ex pected.
