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.

the two nations should ever occur, is
persistently reported in military eir
eles hero today. Although General

the e.plosivo.s they sought, but that
they also secured papers and maps
showing beyond doubt thai the Jap
anese spies in Manila had a por
feot working knowledge of the har
bor and fortiticatioim, and had plan
ned carofully where and how to
place the bombs they deonfod essen
tial in destroying tho Amoricaii fleet.
Great excitement nrovnils in mili
tary and naval circles. Tho actions
of the men mid the iiiiusiial activity
of the officers and guards show that
Hofiicthiug unusual is under way.
