The Vote Now Stands: Liberals 39, Unionists 14, Laborites 6 and Nationalists 7. 'Loudon, Jan. 14. --The first real test 'Of strength in the general election came yesterday, and the result was a veritable landslide' in favor of the Lib- erals. Never have the hopes of one party been more mercilessly dashed to the ground; never. has the confidence of the other been so fully justified, even beyond its wildest expectations. Manchester's solid Unionist phalanx bas melted like snow before a summer's sun. The greatest sensation was the eonversien of former President Balfour's ;great majority of 2,453 into a minority 'of 1,980, Winston Churchill comes in with a Liberal majority of 1,241, the last Conservative Majority for the same division being 1,471, Mr. Balfour spent to -day at Lyme Hall as the guest of Lord Newton. He played golf in the afternoon, He will speak at a mass meeting at Nottingham to -mor- row night. It is suggested that he may contest the Eccles division of Lancashire, the present Conservative candidate re- tiring. In the balloting yesterday Mr. Hor- ridge (Liberal) received 6,403 votes and Balfour (Unionist) 4,423. At the Wtst election Mr. Balfour received 5,803 votes, and his opponent, Mr. A. H. Scott, 3,350. Four of the other six Manchester seats were won by the Liberals, the sixth going to the Labor candidate, A Great Reversal. In order to recognize fully the enor- ) • mous turnover of votes, it is only ne- eeesary to say that the aggregate Union- ist majority • in the five Manchester , • Rots of 7,321 has been turned into an aggregate Liberal majority of 11,111. In the sixth seat a Liberal majority of 25 becomes 2,454. Considering the total r votes polled in the six seats, the Union( ists 28,487 becomes 21,682, and the Lib- erals' 20,992 become 35,217, thus fully justifying the Liberals' claim that they would inaintain a great increase in their poll. 1 4 k 1 1.1 1 Historic Boast. If Lancashire's historic boast is true --that what she thinks to -day England will think to -morrow -then, indeed, the 'Unionist party will have a small show in the next Parliament. But it is not only in Manchester that a clean sweep has been made by the. gs„,Isiberals. Of the 26 seats polled.. for glr'llSesterday which the Unioniste held when Parliament was dissolved they have lost 21. They have not succeeded An capturing one Liberal seat, and the return for one constituency -has not been made. Of the present Government, although 66 seats are now filled out • of the 670 required for the new Parliament, which meets at Westminster, Feb. 13, the com- position of the House as shown by the results so far is as follows: Liberals 39 ?Unionists 14 • Laborites... .... . 6 Nationalists .... ......... .. s7 This includes 24 candidates who were unopposed, and the two candidates elected at Ipswich on Friday. The returns for Grimsby, which were polled yesterday, will not be declared before Monday, and the elections at ' Cambridge University, which com- menced yesterday, will continue until next Thursday. Canadians Elkkel. 'Among the victors are two Cana- dians. Sir Gilbert Parker, Unionist, met with success in his Gravesend campaign, on the lines of advanced tariff reform.' Ile had a three -cornered figth, with the If -Rowing result: Parker, 3,102; Geary, -4Tiberal, L413; :MacPherson, Liberal, 875. At the last election, in a party fight, Parker had a majority of 738. Hamar Greenwood also joins the ranks of the Canadians in the Imperial Parliament, Sicading the poll as Liberal candidate for 4York City, with a population of a hun- • dred thousand. He has been campaigning in the riding for about two years, and is reported to have had over a thousand ealwassers on his behalf during the last few days, including York's tWo members at the last election. Two Unionists were unopposed. The remit this time is: Greenwood, Liberal, 6,413; Faber, Con- servative, 0108; Butcher, Conservative, 6,094; Stuart, Liberal, 4.573. Liberal Gains. The most noteble Liberal gains 'all with bise inajorities in place of former ininorituts, are hi three divisions of 13radford, with Burnley, Bury, and Rochdale, all great industrial centres. The Liberals held their seats at Bury, Stafford, SearboroS and North Manehester and. Stalybridge. The Unionists held Dover, Darling - Lou, and Winchester. Seventy-three constituencies will vote '4115 -morrow, ineluding. twenty in Lon- don, and all those ni Leeds and the other importent, centres in which the seats of members and former members of tho Cabinet and of a, number of prominent men of both parties are involved.

RECOGNIZE THE DEFEAT': Unionist Papers Do Not Minimize It - Fears for Chamberlain. L ondon, Jan. 15. ---"We have killed pro- tection." This is the beginning of such it political upbeaval es has not been seen in England since the days of the great Reform 13111. Manchester has saved her- self by her exertions; she will save England by her example." Thus spoke Winston Churchill on Saturday night„ and his opinion that free trade has gained a victory is the opinion of the more responsible of the tTnionist newspapers, though many of them attempt to explain the result of the elections of Saturday as due more to questions like Chinese labor iu South Africa, war taxatios, eta No- where, however, is there any hint of minimizing the hurricane that has overtaken the Uniouist party or a suggestion of doing anything but to beat an orderly retreat and save what is possible from the route. "'I'he question now uppermost in all nimbi is what fate will befall Joseph Chamberlain at Birmingham.

It was after tho mort- gage had been satisfied, Baker .says, that be was 'informed by Taylor that Mrs. Taylor intended to bring it suit for assault, alleging that Baker had kissed and hugged her. Baker says lie was told a settlement out of court would be preferred. He was given five days, he declares, to pay up. He re- fused to entertain any such proposition and the ease was taken into county eourt. Judgment went to Baker by de- fault, the plaintiff not appearing. "I have never had a chance to preeent my side of the case in court," said Mr. Baker. "I would welcome it reopening of the case that I might present a prop- er defense and thus put an. end to the efforts of this. woman to besmirch ray reputation and injure my business."

The Money Was Recovered on His Person, The fugitive Was Chased Across the American Continent. A Toronto despatch: Party arrested money recovered:, have necessary ex. tradition papers prepared." This cablegram from Kingston, Jamai. ea, received by the aetective depart- mont last night, gave the brief informa- tion that Edwin St, George Banwell, who on December 9 last robbed the Crown Bank of Toronto of a considerable sum of money, and who eloped with Norah Hector, it young lady of Erindale, had at last been, captured. It is not known that the woman, whom Banwell married in Buffalo after his flight from Toron- to, was with him when he was arrested, but as she was traced with him to other points it is presumed that she accom- panted him else to Jamaica. The pur- suit of Boswell took detectives right across the American continent. He had been traced to New York, St. Louis, Memphis, Tenn., New Orleans, Florida, and from there to Kingstdn, jamaie.a. The latter beiug a British Crown col- ony, no extradition- proceedings are re- quired to 'bring Banwell back. He will be prosecuted under the fugitive offend- ers' act ,and may be brought back to Toronto, either by way of England or by the Pickford & Black Line to Halifax. Mr. G. De C. O'Grady, the General Man- ager of the Crown Bank of Canada, stated last night thab all the money missing would be the amount spent by Banwell in Ms flight and that the bank was guaranteed against loss in this re- spect by a surety comprtuy. Story of Banwell's Edwin St. George Banwell, paying tel- ler at the Toronto office of the Crown Bank, left on Saturday, December 9, af- ter making up his accounts for the day, and did not return to his post on Mon- day. Suspicion being aroused by bis ab- sence, his cash was examined and Gen- eral Manager G. De C. O'Grady issued statement that Banwell had taken with dm $20,000 -in unsigned bbaik notes and $1,487 in gold. Later investigations dise closed the fact that in addition to $043 in English gold and $835 in United States gold Banwell had also taken signed and negotiable bills to the value of $1,192, linking a total of $2,670, according to the definite statement of the Crown Bank officials. Inquiries resulted in the discovery that Miss Norah Hector, the daughter of a yell -known resident, and civil engineer of Erindale, who had called nt the bank o see Dolmen on Saturday morning, had ceompanied him. A telephone message n Monday morning informed the par- nts of the young woman that they need tot worry, as the couple were married. They were traced to Niagara Falls, Buf- alo and New York, where trace of them vas lost for a while. A clue 11111S obtain - d, and Detective Black left the city ou December 22 to follow it up, which he las apparently done with success. On Track of the Fugitive. It was because Banwell and Norah Hector were passing through without in- terruption various points flooded with circulars and telegrams that Detective Black was especially sent after the fugi- tive teller. The suggestion that Math f•o was made to Cliief Constable Graeett or Detective Sorgeant Duncan, and Mr. Frank Arnoldi„ K. C., the batik's solid - tor, approved. The necessary expenses were guaranteed, and Black left on the midnight train on December 22, going direct to New York. From the first the Newassumed the name of Roberts. In York it was learned that Banwell had attempted to exchange $500 of the stolen bills, after which he was frighten- ed off to St. Louis by newspaper reports to the effect that the fugitive's "prob- able destination was New York." .Reliable information was obtained at St. Louis that the couple had proceeded on to Memphis, Tons and from there to New Orleans. Around the couple went to Jacksonville, Tampa and Punta, Gorda, Florida.. Here for ten days all trace of him was lost, and. Detective Black got a false clue that took him to ll'avaua and Santiago, Cuba. Nothing was heard of the officer again until tho obi°, given aimouncing the arrest was received by Detective Sergeant Duncan MtV1IiillieghDtetective Bleck was away De- teetive Newton was busy gathering in- formation here about the missing couple.

Then Caine another letter from Buf- falo to a friend of the fugitive teller here with $L000 . in bills enclosed, "just as a present." The letter and contents are in the .hands of the police. The note was written by Banwell, . and. the letter addreesed in a, woman's handwrit- ing, probably that of Nandi Hector. Positive assurance that he was in New York Was afterwards obtained at the exchange office, and at other points where lie displayed the stolen money. Nis efforts to pass Bank of England notes in Florida also attracted attention, and there were a number of ether traces Batmen thoughtlessly left behind in his flight. Over two thousand circulars were sent out by Sergeant Duncan of- fering a reward of $250, but since the amount was increased to $1,000. Tele- grams were also sent in all direeticms, no part of the world. being overlooked. Deteetive Meek on leaving Toronto wee clothed with all the necessary papere from the Attorney -General on- • powering him to lay charges 'in any eountry against either Banwell or Noel' Hector. More papers were sent to him in Florida, but his eabIegram indicates that be has not yet. reeeived them. After the message 'was received here last night Mr, G. De C.

AMOUNT THAT_BANWELL OOT FROM THE CROWN DANK, Officials lkiew Admit That the Sum Made • Away With Was Larger Than They First Announced -Nearly All of It Recovered. Toronto despatch; While the Crown Bank officials have all along maintain. ed that the amount stolen- by Edwin St. George Banwell, their teller, did not exceed the amount mentioned in their official circular, 11 18 admitted after the arrests in Kingston,, Jamaica, that the sum taken totalled $40,350.33, of which $20,000 was in unsigned. notes. The fugitive teller and. Norah Hector when arrested Lad with them about $38,000. The pollee ale° have $1,000 in oegoti- able notes sent by the coupleto a friend in this city, bringing the total sum re. covered up to $39,000. On the journey they spent $1,350.33, width will be made . good by the surety compauy. The information laid by Deteetive- Sergeant Duncan charges Banwell and Norah Hector jointly with the theft of $40,350.33. It is not likely that the bank officials will' press the charge against the woman. The papers were forwarded last night to Detective Black, who has ben instructed to re- turn by way of Halifax.

Gen, Obeirne- was seen following the azgests, but his counsel refused to allow him to be interviewed. • The prisoners are charged with con- spiracy to obtain money under false pre- tences by the use of the United States mails. In the comptaint lodged against them two other officials of the Force of Life Chemical Company are named jointly with them as parties to the conspiracy. These two officials are now out of the city. The Force of Life Chemical Compel*, for the last three or four years has maintained elaborate offices in this city. At present the company is located at 203 Broadway. It has done an exten- sive mail business. An official of the company told the postal authorities that the concern had. not less than one million patients. The investigation leading to the arrest had covered a period of almost a year, and has been managed jointly by the postoffiee authorities, Assistant United States District Attorney Clarence . S.
