PRICE f CENT3 LAST EDITION 1 mm VICTORY IS IN SIGHT FOR THE LIBERALS Election Returns to Date In dicate Complete Victory For Liberal Party TODAY'S RETURNS FrcdUlion is Made That Ministerial Majority In Parliament Will le Fully One Hundred Although I'nionlsts Gained Slightly in Yes terday's Polling, An. Even Better (iuin is Looked for Today on the Liberal Side Liberals So Certain of Victory They Are Already Plan ning Work to be IK me in Next Par linment. (By Cable to The Times) - London, Jan. 19 "The minister ialist majority in the new parliament will be more than 100." This pre diction was made today by one of the liberal leaders, and it was the gen eral tenor of comment at the national liberal club. In spite of the net gain of eleven made by the unionists at yesterday's polls, the government leaders looked for an even better showing by the liberals than they have made in the total result so far, basing their expectations on the the ory that the results thus far shown will decide hitherto unsettled consti tuencies and swing them to the gov ernment forces. Four London and seventy-six pro vincial constituencies voted ;, today. The majority of them were in the outlying counties and the unionists hoped for. further gains, in them. The general opinion, however, was that the unionist's net gain, which was forty-two when the polls opened today, was not sufficient to threaten the supremacy . of the liberals, and hope was expressed by the govern ment supporters that the final re sults would show the latter independ ent of the Irish in their block. The districts that voted today elect eighty-one members, which in the last parliament were divided as follows: Liberals, 50; Unionists, 20; Lnborites, 7 ; Nationalists, 4. Sir Edward Grey, foreign secre tary, was the most prominent candi date up today. His constituency be ing the Berwlck-on-Tweed division of Northumberland. Alexander Ure, lord advocate for Scotland; Lieu tenant Colonel Arthur Lee, who was formerly military attache to the Brit ish embassy .at Washington; under Secretary Thomas Wood of the for eign office and Herbert Louis Samuel, tinder secretary of home department, whose constituency is the Cleveland division of the North Riding of Yorkshire, were also the leaders of lights culminating today. A continuation of the unusually heavy polling which has marked the election was promised by the return of the ideal election weather of the tirst.few days. It was generally fair. The stock market today showed signs of recovery from the setback felt yesterday and the market opened stronger, giving signs of rising. The first returns today showed one unionist to three nationalists re turned unopposed. James McCal mont of EaBt Antrim was the union ist and the others were Captain Done Ian, for East Cork; Michael Meagher of North Kilkenny, and E. Barry for South Cork. So certain are the liberals of com plete victory when the final results STREET CAR MEN TO GO ON STRIKE . ... x. n nta ' (By Leased win ' Philadelphia, Pa Jan. a. prac j tlrally unanimous vote 'announced 6 121 to 233.

The declaration of PremleV Asnuith in his speech at Leven, West Fife, in which he made the issue a clear-cut struggle with the lords, sounds the general opinion; His assertion, "I promise that no legislation of any kind will be con sidered by the next parliament until we have settled conclusions with the house of lords," leaves no room for doubt that the herity legislators are far from the end of the furor creat ed by their rejection of the budget. OFFICIALS ARE AMl'SED. Over Action of Senate Calling for In formation About Closing Newport News Custom House. (By Leased Wire to The Tnies) Washington, Jan. 19 Officials of the treasury department are amused at the action of the senate in calling for information concerning the pub lished report that the department had, by ordering the custom house at Newport News, Va., closed today, the anniversary of General Robert E. Lee's birthday, officially recognized the south's hero of the Civil War. As a report will have to be made to the senate, neither Secretary MacVeagh or his assistants will publicly discuss the matter at this time. There was, however, no warrant for the statement published -to the ef fect that for the first time the gov ernment had recognized General Lee, according to the officials. The fact is that the custom house at Newport News was closed a year ago and alsf ui 19.IS owing to-the Lee birthday celebration. The rule followed in the department is to permit custom houses to close, If by doing so they do not interfere with the transaction of public business on days when there IB lO De a IOCU1 Or BltUe HU11UH.V. 1 permission is only granted on the re- & of the Rcthrothal of Princess.

FRANCE EXPECTING A POLE SENSATION CBy Cable to The Times.) Paris, an. 19 France Is confidently expecting In the near future to spring a-polar sensation that will rival the Peary anil Cook episodes. Dr. Jean Charcot, the intrepid explorer, who sailed with a French expedition from the Rio Janeiro on October 22, 1908, in tending a. penetrate to the South Pole, has not yet been heard from since April IT.' WW. He was then at Decep tion Inland and since the beginning of the Antarctic summer he has had ample time to dash across the frozen plateau that lies between that point and the pole, providing such a thing Is possible. The Charcot expedition was the best equipped that ever started for the Antarctic zone. His ship, the Poui-quoui Tas (Why Not) is a strong er vessel than the ltoosevelt in which Peary negotiated the north pole, and his party is composed entirely of men experienced in polar exploration. In deed, Dr. Charcot conducted a similar expedition in 1903, remaining in the Antarctic circle for; 15 months and making valuable explorations and surveys in the interior of Graham T.nnri That expedition had a sadly romantic side, for it was announced in France thnt Dl.

FIGHT OVER COMMITTEE WILLCOMEUP Trouble Caused by the Dem ocratic Caucus Appointments WiDbe Aired Tomorrow WILL BE A FIGHT Fight, Over the- Xorris Amendment to the Daiell Joint Resolution la Proving a Three-cornered Boomer ang Republicans, Democrats, And Insurgents Alike Differ Over it Regulars Don't Like James and Rainey and Will Probably Offer Resolution Tomorrow Substituting Two Others For the Caucus Selec lions. (fly Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Jan. 19 The Norris amendment to the Dalzell joint reso lution authorizing the congressional investigation of Secretary Ballinger of the interior department and .the J " forest service is likely ta. prjjT : three-rornerrl boomerang,-jn that on the surface j has ttaused a ruCtica in the ran'..:. he TiHibHcjiTis, demo crats, and insui gents." ' -W. -"; ;,,';'. . The regulars and a number of insurgents say that James and Rainey will not be allowed to serve , on the proposed committee as they are known as partisans of the rankest kind and the presence of Rainey on the committee would be an affront to the president. This matter will prob ably be aired fully in the republican caucus called for tonight. On the, floor of the, house tomorrow when the matter is presented some bitter pet sotiklRles may be Indulged tn.;"tlMr understanding being that Represen tative Mann, the speaker's lieutenant, will offer a resolution substituting two other democrats in lieu of James and Rainey. The fight will break loose on the Mann resolution, say the knowing ones today. The Norris amendment called upon the house to elect six members 01 the investigating committee, thus taking from the speaker th time-honored rite; and power of appointing such committee. The democrats were the first to avail themselves of the Norris amendment by holding a caucus to select the two minority members. The ... selection was made without much friction in the caucus, but when the names of two James of Kentucky, and Rainey of Illinois became pub lic then indeed went up a howl from a majority of the republicans that ex tended to the white house. Even some of the insurgents gave vent to their ilisplasure by saying they would not stand for two "such rank parti sans as .lames ana uainey, espec ially the latter, who attacked both Roosevelt and President Taft's brother on the floor of the house. But there are other insurgents and a number' of regulars who say that as the democrats acted within the Norris amendment their selection of James and Rainey ought to stand. Because of (his feeling it has been decided by the organization leaders to pass this question up in the cau cus and submit it to the house in the form of a resolution and thus force every member to a record vote. This vote, it is asserted, will, in a measure give some idea of the president's in- ; ftuence with the insurgents. If the selections made by tho democratic caucus arc. turned down it will be due to the Taft inlluence. BETTER TONE TO COTTON MARKET New York. aJn. 19 In the belief that tlie big professionals were convinced that prices had been hammered an low as ther could be driven without extereme danger in the face of natural conditions and that the weak accounts had been pretty well shaken out, a far more hopeful tone characterized the opening and the early trading on the cotton exchange this morning. At the end of the first hour the active posi tions showed a price Improvement over yesterday's close of about 7 points, $1.75 a b.ile. Some of the "distressed" cotton whose position, overhanging; the mar ket, caused intense nervousness yes terday, came out on the early bulge, greatly relieving the situation. Large sales of spot at Liverpool with reports of better demand from continental and Manchester spinners strengthen eX confidence here. - ,
