F.nd of (he Flection. (By Cable to The Times) London, .Ian, 29 -The Liberals re Rained the leafl over I he Unionists tn the election today, I he party wore at 1:4', being: Unionists, 2(1; Lib erals, 271; Laborites, 39; National ists, 78. In Derbyshire, the scene of the only polling today, a blizzard raged and many voters were snowbound. The election of Sir Charles DUke, the Liberal leader, at Forest-of-Dean, Gloucestershire, was among the earliest results of yesterday's election announced today. The Unionists gained Droitwich, Worces tershire. ' . :' David .'Lloyd-George,' chancellor of the exechequer, and the man who precipitated the present political crisis In Great Britain wit hhis bud get, may be the next premier.. It be came known today that Prime Minis ter Asquith,, who yesterday went to the continent, is physically in a much more serious condition than had been supposed. If he cannot re gain his strength in Prance, he will, according to his friends, refuse to take the burden of guiding England's helm. - . ' - The terrific strain of the last few months, and the certainty that the next premier must lead a hard battle, complicated ,by half a dozen vital is sues, have combined to make the con tinuation of Asquith rule a decided uncertainty. He is being sharply criticised for leaving at this time. The Liberals, however, are confi dent of holding the whip hand, al though their way will be one beset by many perils, The first return declared today, that of Ramsey, Huntingdonshire, gave the Unionists another gain. The Liberals can hold dominance only by the continuance of the coali tion with the Laborites and the Irish. Whether, with politics so radical as Lloyd-George, 4they could continue in power is, according to the opposition leaders, a matter of serious doubt. There is little in the election's re sults to show that the Liberals have been granted strong support by the people in their way against the lords. The general belief, stronger than ever, is that the tenure of office of the next ministry will be short. Should the conservatives make a strong bid for the Irish vote, promis ing home rule and tariff reform in ac cord with Ireland's wishes, the Lib erals would probably be swamped. The declarations of today's re turns is virtually the end of tlieejec tion. The major parties are almost evenly divided, the balance of power reals with the minor factions. FIGHT TO AMKXD Rt l.KS. Will Come Within the Next Ten Days lepenls on Democrats For Success. ( By Leased Wire to The Times. ) Washington, Jan. 29 The light to amend the rules of the house by in creasing the' membership of the rules committee from five to twelve will probably come within the next ten davs, it was stated by the insurg ents this morning. The success of the movement depends largely on the attitude of the democrats. The in surgents claim sixty votes on the re publican side of the house. ., mnrrnln are giving some . consideration to the proposition sub. mltted by- the insurgents, aiuiu u ocrats are In favor of the propose change, while others ueem u unwise. Tne large vote claimed by the Insurg ents Is attributed to the growing feel in? among New England and west ern republicans against the speaker, who still declines to give any sign that he will retire from the leadetv ship of the house. The president 1 said to have given Jj Is approval to the scheme. . SENATOR It. II. TILLMAN. ... W I Bill ii II II 'rrifrr f i iiiiiH.iiiwiiif i nw I I if Sl y - H ' United States Senator R. R.

SHADOWOFELECTION CLOUDING CONGRESS (By John Temple Graves) ;Vafcinfrtort, ' J:rn. 2!V-The shadow of the autumnal election is clouding the vision of 'congress.-.'.' t f That November ballot box is shut ting out the larger view of many things which average congressmen ought to sec. This is unfortunate for the fair con sideration of the treat issues which ire being presented by the present ad ministration.' . I talked today with Colonel Living- ton, of Georgia, stalwart democratic partisan of the old regima. lie has been 22 years in congress and is one of the masters of ' the game. Keen, shrewd, bold and tireless he has held onto the Atlanta district by sheer force of his capacity to "get things'' for that audacious capital of Dixie. 'Are you democrats going to fight Taft in the Balllngor matter?" I asked him. recalling Chump Clark's pacific ssiirancc. " "Of course we are in everything else when, we can make a points for the democratic party," said the Geoi-gian. "Polities is Avar, and this is our chance to .win." lie continued. 'Then you think you can win the. next house, and maybe the presidency? "Why not? We can and we will. The republican party is hopelessly and permanently split. It can never get together any more. The west will never come back - to the allegiance from which Lafollclte and Cummins and the others have dragged , it. The republi can party is split upon the very issue that has sustained and held it together for a quarter of a century. The in surgents and those who follow them are 'permanent, rebels from the high tariff. The interests of the east and of the West are parted. No patehed-up peace between men like Aldrieh and Cummins will last beyond the present session." . . BAD COLLISION NEAR CLEVELAND " I -: (By Leased Wire to The Times) Cleveland, O., Jan. 29 Mail train No. 21 from Boston for St. Louis on the Lakeshore and Michigan Southern rail road chashed into the rear end of the Lakeshore Limited, No. 19. the 20th Century JLImited's rival for luxury, on the block just' east ot the Aslitabula passenger depot today. The Impact of the collision demolish. ed the rear half of the observation car, and caused the mail car back of the locomotive of No. 21 to collapse.' Sev eral of the passengers and tralnment were badly bruised. The mail clerk on No. 21 was taken from the wreck unconscious. Mrs. M. Harzberg, of Providence, R I., who was in a stateroom at the front end of the observation car, was thrown into a mil-row before her land cut by broken glass.' No. 19 was due. in Cleveland at 7:10 a. in. No. 21 was duo here 20 minutes later. No. 19 stopped on a block east of the Ashtabula depot by a train standing at the depot. No. 21 past the next block east and crashed Into No. 19 on a trestle over a subway. Rail road officials have begun an Investiga tion an to why the engineer of No. 21 ran past the block, - ' I GLAVIS HAS NOT FINISHED HISSTORYYET Again on the Witness Stand Telling About Frauds In Land Office HINDERED HIS WORK Discontinued Investigation in May, 1008, and Nothing More Was Done Until October Was Instructed in October to Resume the Investiga lion, Rut Was Hindered in the Work by Officials of the Land Of ficeMr. Dennett Objected to Pros ecuting the Swindlers and Thonght if Their Claims Were Cancelled it Would be Sufficient Was Given More Work Than He Could Do. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, ,fan. 29 Louis If. Glavis again look ".the witness stand when the special joint committee of the senate and house, which Is inves tigating the Bailinger-Pinchot con troversy resumed its hearing this morning. Attorney Brandies began by re minding Mr. Glavis that he had testi fied that he had been Instructed in May, 1908, to discontinue work on the Alaskan coal claims, and did noth ing in that connection until next Oc tober. During that, period Glavis said he received no letters or tele grams relative to taking up the work again, and that although he had several conferences with land office officials nothing was said about re suming the investigation. " "Did they Indicate that they want ed to hinder you in carrying out your investigation in any of these conver sations?'.' asked Chairman Nelson. "Mr. Dennett said," replied Glavis, "he thought we should not prosecute the coal claimants criminally; that if their claims were cancelled it would he sufficient." "That is-not responsive to my ques tion," interrupted Chairman Nelson, rather sharply. "I asked if they sought to interfere with the investi gation." "They did,," answered Glavis,' and he then proceeded to narrate his con versations with Dennett and other of ficials of the land office. Glavis de clared that he was instructed to re sume the Alaskan investigation in October, 1908, but that he was hind ered in carrying out the work by some of the officials, because they had given him other duties to perform. He did not object to the other work, but he was handicapped by not hav ing a sufficient number of assist ants. : : The work which7 the witness re ferred to consisted of numerous land cases in Oregon. Attorney Brandies then consumed half an hour in reading and offering in evidence a long list of letters which passed between the land office and Glavis in reference to the work of Glavis' office. One telegram from Dennett to Glavis in April, 1909, told him the investigation must be completed in 60 days, and -asking htm what help he wanted. "You seem to have been asking for more help,' 'said Representative Donby, "but in your replies to the de partment which have been read you don't say what the character of your investigation was." "1 want to say right here," inter rupted Attorney Brandies, "that this record (meaning the report of Attorney-general Wickersham) does not contain ail of the letters in the case. There are quite a number of commun ications which have been omitted, and we have asked to have them pro duced." V Mr. Brandies intimated that they had been intentionally left out, and that if supplied would be responsive' to the question of Representative Denby. : Answering questions asked by Rep resentative Madison, Glavis said that following his instructions to close up the investigation in 60 days he and his agents had obtained affidavit from claimants. This did not com plete the Investigation, as he thought a field investigation was necessary. "I did not think the government had all the evidence required before i going to trial," said Glavis. "I was told to make my report, but that I could continue my investigation." "What' was then done?" asked Chairman Nelson. ... . 1 ' Pnntlniipft nn PnirA Kavpfi. SKORETAHY WILSON.

MADRIZ TROOPS BEEN DEFEATED Bluefields, Jan. 29 That General Chamorro has decisively defeated Mad riz's troops under General Vasquez at Acnyapa in a battle that has continued since Wednesday is the definite news received here from Rama last night, confirming the previous dispatches. Little actual news of the battle is known owing to the difficulty of tele graph transmission between Rama and Acoyapa. However word trom uenerai Estrada assures a provisional victory has been won. although it is believed from the tone of the message that his losses were heavy. , General Chamorro has been wounded but not fatally. He led thel charge on the Madriz battery midway between Acoyapa and La Tlberta. English gun ners' fire worked havoc but the guns were silenced. Hand-to-hand fighting for a' great distance along the line en sued. The losses must have been fierce for General Estrada's message says:- "Recreo outdone." General Estrada Is mobflizing troops now for the assault on Managua. It is believed the fight will be short and sharp. Provisional officers this morning are drawing up representations asking- the Washington .government for recogni tion, i ii- m THE SEINE IS FALLING AND WORSTISOVER Danger From River is Dimish ing but City is Left In Awful Condition MANY FOOD RIOTS City Crumbles 011 Water-soaked Foundations Whole Cunrters Shake As With An Karthquake As Subterranean Overflow 1'roin the River Raced Reneatli the City- Twenty Thousand Persons in the City Are Starving and Food Riots Have Broken Out in Many Refugee Camps N'ot F.iiough Food in the City to Last Three Days. ( By Cable to The 'l imes) Paris, Jan. 29 The waters of die Seine today continued lo inunilale Paris; while the r-liy slowly (Tumbled. The cessation in the rise of 1 ho Seine at 1 o'clock this morning brought a ray of hope, but the area under wa- fer continued to grow steadily, though the height of the river itself was slightly lower at dawn and stead ily decreased. Twenty thousand persons in Paris are starving today. At Gennevil liers alone, where the bursting of a dyke inundated a wide area, 7,000 inhabitants, without water, fire or food, are '..imprisoned in their homes wit h t he work of rescue proceeding slowly. Food riots have thrown a dozen of the largest refugee camps on the out skirts into -a ferment." .The prices of provisions, alniost prohibitive two days ago, were higher today and in several quarters dealers who de manded outrageous prices for their scanty stocks were attacked by -angry icked bv anrv , .,;;' ?h' frve "order neseive -.pi dei crowds. The police, busy Hood, are unable to pr when a sudden emergency arises.' 1 no passions of the mob have added lo the stricken city's tribulations'. .. . It was renorled todav that the eitv will buy out all provision dealers,! commandeering (heir stocks and set-! tling al'lerward, in order to distrib- ute every available bit of food in breadlines, scores of which have al ready been established. "(live us food,' is tlie cry of Paris. It is estimated that all the food in Paris would not feed the city on half rations for three, days. The largest markets, where there were re serve supplies, have been inundated by the hack' flow of sewers or burst ing drains or by the river direct, and the supplies destroyed or rendered unfit for consumption. Paris is tottering. Whole quar ters shake as with an earthquake as the subterranean overflow of the Seinecarried in sewers, subways, pipes of all kinds and underground rivers, races beneath, tlie city with terrific force, eating into foundations and breaking through masonry walls into collars. News that the river Marne : had dropped one meter (about three feet) was received today, and brought joy with it. The weather this morning was cold and fine. The Seine continued to fall steadily, but slowly,' and at noon a decrease of five inches was marked.. In the desperate flood - situation, the engineers are little more than helpless. Hundreds of struct ures, including some of the most famous buildings in the world, are thre:"ii ed with collapse. No shoring up, no temporary measures could thwart this menace; the Seine alone can save Paris. Dyke has been thrown up, only to be brushed aside by the river. The work of constructing them, though apparently futile in' most cases, was continued today, but it is on the fleets of small boats that the relief workers now depend. One hundred sailors today brought seventy-five yawls, cutters and dinghies to the city. . Many of these little mosquito craft have been destroyed by the Seine which tears through the city at places with the force of a mill raee. Boats have been swept against piers, bridges, and debris, and crushed like eggshells. Half a dozen were report ed destroyed this morning alone. In some instances these accidents have been fatal. The cellars of the opera house the most noted and probably the most beautiful structure of its kind were filled with water to the floor ' (Continued on Page Bevea.)
