Rise of Labor Party Marks
Advance Towards
Democracy.
slons of Parliament, though It Is Impos
sible that active opposition tactics will
develop during the first session.
The Nationalists, who expected to hold
the balance ot power, are somewhat dis
appointed, but political prophets do not
hesitate to say that home rule for Ire
land In a modified form is actually In
sight, asserting that It is logical to con
clude, after Campbell-Banncrman's pledge
relative to the management of Irish do
mestic affairs for Ireland, that the ex
periment of an Irish Parliament subsid
iary to the Imperial Parliament will ba
tried within the next two years.
HOME RULE FOR IRELAND
Campbcll-Bnnnerninn Sure of Seven
Years or Office, With Largest
Majority Ever Known Plans
of Cliamberfain.
LONDON. Jan. 27. Except that returns
from nine constituencies have not been
received, the general elections In the
United Kingdom arc cntied. The govern
ment coalition will have approximately
510 votes in the next Parliament, this es
timate including on the side of Premier
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermann the Na
tionalist and Labor votes, with a concrete
Unionist minority of 160 on the opposition
side.
The Issues In the campaign brought
forth by the Liberals included an expen
sive war for which the people arc still
paying, a threatened raising of food
prices, an unpopular educational system,
an unprecedented number of unemployed
and many other matters. General dissat
isfaction with the Unionists ten years of
power was manifested.
Greatest Majority in History.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermann will
enter the new Parliament on February 13
with the greatest majority ever given to
a British Premier. As a result of the
elections, the political map of England
shows a tremendous change, and It may
safely be said that the Incoming of a new
party to power marks a complete upset
ting of the old order of things, for even
the most partisan of the Conservatives
admit that the Liberal government Is in
power for at least its full term under the
septennial net. and. that within the next
six years new names will be made .and
new statesmen will appear, while the
Premier, whether he stays In the House
of Commons or goes to the Houso of
Lords, has won a name which will be
handed down to posterity.
"With such evidence as the country has
given of opposition to the Unionists, who
also were pledged to carry out the for
eign policy inaugurated by Lord Salisbury
and Lord Lansdowne, the Lobcral govern
ment feels confident that it will receive
whole-hearted support for some time to
come, or until the minority Is able to
draw oft sufficient support to become an
opposition strong enough to be danger
ous. Composition of Parliament.
Tile composition of the new Parliament,
as near as It is now possible to tell, fol
lows: Liberals, 376: Unionists, 160; Na
tionalists, SI; Laborites, 50.
Thus It will be seen that the Liberals
have a majority over all of S2 votes, but
such a thing as a combination of the en
tire force of Laborites and Nationalists
against the government is hardly con
ceivable.
It should also be pointed out that the
election probably marks, the end of the
old two-party system, there now being
four groups, of which the Laborites kre
the most Interesting.
Labor Party to the Front.
The Labor party's development in na
tional politics marks a surprising change
in sentiment in the country. Liberals
are supporting Laborites and Laborites
are supporting Liberals In most instances.
In .some quarters it Is predicted that the
Labor party will become the great Demo
cratic party of England. The fact that
labor felt its strength in this election Is
bound to give impetus to the movement
In the future, especially as John Bums,
the Labor party leader, has been promi
nently seated In the Cabinet. Mr. Burns.
It Is generally conceded, is certain to re
flect credit upon his position and sup
porters, notwithstanding the violent at
tacks made upon him by the adherents
of the aristocratic regime and the jeal
ousy of a certain element among the
Laborites.
Some 27 members of the Labor party
belong to what Is known as '"Labor rep
resentatives." They are pledged to dis
regard the party whips of either side and
to vote in accordance with the wishes of
their constituents. So long as they fol
low Instructions, they are paid $1000 each
year by the Labor representative com
mittee. Tho other Labor members, who
are unpledged, will probably stand by the
Liberal side through thick and thin, and
on labor questions will have the support
of some 20 or .30 of the more radical
Liberals.
The new parliament opens a wide view
for speculation on the possibility of com
binations. The minority Is homogeneous
and the majority heterogeneous and the
concrete minority Is certain to endeavor
to secure the support of sections of the
majority. It Is a fact that Joseph Cham
berlaln has already outlined a plan for
the Unionist support of labor on all trades
union propositions.
Balfour Will Aid Chamberlain.
Mr. Chamberlain, In a speech this week.
nailed the colors of protection to the
mast, and this, with the fact that Mr.
Balfour has accepted a. seat for the City
of London, an essentially tariff reform
seat, makes It almost certain that Mr.
Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain In the fu
ture will work hand and glove for tariff
reform. It Is pointed out that the tariff
reform movement in this election has not
been without Us victories. The Chamber
lalnltcs are drawing much consolation
from the fact that in several places
Unionist Laborites -were elected by mem
bers ot the Chamberlain group. Mr.
Chamberlain claims 180 Unionists. 40 La
borites and 81 Nationalists on the ques
tion of protection.
One thins is certain, the Laborites will

GOOD GOVERNMENT FOR COKEA
Morgan Says Japan Will ' Protect
Foreign Investors.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27. Edwin Mor
gan, former United States Minister to
Corea, who arrived here from the Orient
en route to Cuba, as Minister to the re
public. In an Interview on Corean affairs,
said:
'When I left Tokio Marquis Ito, the
newly appointed Governor-General, was
preparing to start for. Seoul. He Is in no
sense a military governor.
"The people have feared that Corea was
to be placed under harsh military gov
ernment. The contrary Is the case. Co
rea will have a better government than it
has ever had, and I think the future of
the country Is very bright.
In going over the foreign relations of
Corea, Japan gave assurance to all of
the treaty powers that existing foreign
treaties would not be disturbed. This
means that American interests In Corea
will not be affected, and that American
enterprise will continue to find a profit
able field of activity In the country-
"American goods find a big market
there, and mining enterprises conducted
by Americans are being successfully
worked."
TENNESSEE TAKES ACTION
CALLS IN INSURANCE COMPANIES
TO GET BACK FUNDS.
Commissioner Folk Announces Cara
palfcm Contributions and Will En
force Restitution by Officers.
NEW YORK. Jan. 27. Insurance Com
missioner Ii. E. Folk, of Tennessee, who
has been In New York for the past week
conferring with the New York legislative
Insurance Investigating committee, issued
a statement today relative to a news dis
patch from Nashville, Tcnn., in which a
number of Insurance companies were er
roneously mentioned in connection with
contributions to campaign funds and the
influencing of legislation. The companies
named in error, said Mr. Folk, were the
Germania Life, the Massachusetts Mutual
Life, the United States Life and the
Union Central Life. Mr. Folk said:
The companies which have admitted
contributing to campaign funds are as
follows: The Mutual Life of New York,
an aggregate of 190.000 to the Republican
National campaign committee of the or
ganizations or 1S36. lpOO and 1301. and $500
In 1901 to the Republican Congressional
committee; the Prudential, $2S.O0O to the
Republican committee for the last three
National campaigns: the Pcnn Mutual,
$10,000. In 1S9S; the Metropolitan. $7500; the
Aetna. 51500 In the three campaigns: and
the Provident Savlng3, In 1900. all to
the Republican National campaign. The
Home Life admitted a contribution of $1000
In 1S96 for the distribution of literature in
defense of the jrold standard. At least
two other compjinles. the Equitable Life
Assurance Society and the New York Life
Insurance Company have contributed to
campaign funds.
Tennessee is making an investigation
Into the affairs of the New York Life
Insurance Company. In connection with
the States of Wisconsin. Kentucky and
Nebraska.
With reference to campaign contribu
tions. It is the opinion of the Insurance
Commission of Tennessee that prompt
steps be taken to secure restitution of
these funds already diverted from the
treasuries of these companies bj the offi
cers responsible for this diversion of
funds. To this effect I wrote on January
17 to the several companies notifying them
that it is essential for them that they
comply with this ruling and put them
selves within the law.
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
Miners and Operators Disagree o
Wage Scale.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 27. Two joint ,
conferences between bituminous coal
operators and miners opened today. The
joint conference of the central competi
tive field with 990 miners and operators
met at 10 o'clock In Tomllnson Hall, and
at the same hour In Masonic Hall the
operators and miners of the Southwestern
district met, with 225 present.
On a rollcall on the adoption of the
demands made by the miners at their
convention just concluded, the motion
was lost by strict party vote between the
operators and miners.
The miners of the Southwestern compet
itive field, made up of Missouri, Kansas
and Arkansas, met In joint conference at
Masonic Hall. The greater part of the
opening session was devoted to perfecting
an organization.
On'motion of President F. L. Robbins.
of the operators, the entire subject of a
wage scale and the other demands of the
miners was referred to the joint seals
committee. The conference adjourned to
meet at the call of the chalnrman, which
will probably be Wednesday.
The conference between the miners and
operators of the Southwestern district
adjourned until Monday morning after se
lecting a scale committee.
PRINTERS' UNION ENJOINED
Forbidden to Speak or Write to Non
union Men.
OMAHA. Neb., Jan. 27. (Special.)
Eleven of the largest printing firms of
the city, members of the Typothetae, se
cured a sweeping restraining order from
Judge Sears enjoining all members of
the Typographical Union from Interfering-
in any way with their business or
their employes. The printers are forbid
den to try to induce the non-union men
to quit their Jobs, either by conversing
or writing to them, and are also enjoined
from trying to divert business from the
Typothetae firms to other houses. The
matter will come up for hearing Febru
ary 7.
Employers say that the order is due
to the fact that several nonunion men
have recently been assaulted. The union
disclaims all responsibility lor these
assault
