Toronto, March 1.—The general oleo tions for the Ontario Legislature took place throughout the Province to•dav, andd resulted in the practical defeat of the Liberal Government, which has heldpower for more than 25 yeater The contest has been very exelting. the Governweet resorting to all the tactics which haute kept their party in power for so many years. The returns to rlight indicate a great revulsion: of fooling,. Of the 94 seats, elections took place to day in 93, the polling in the other—Russel—being postponed till the 11th lust, In all but two or three eases, complete returns are in, with the foliowingresult: Consorvattvos elected. — . .47 Liberals elected . .. . . .............43 res iGaiu Ontario, S, Northuuaberland E.

The probability is decidedly in favor of a. Conservative majority, Mr. Rob - Ward, the Conservative candidate, is eertatn of election in Russell, while it is a well•known fact that the reelection of ex Speaker: Evanturel in Prescott was permitted by the Conservatives an the understandiug that in the event of the latter obtaining a majority today he will support the new Government. Messrs. Beatty, of Parry Sound, and Tucker, of West Wellington, though they did not run as straight Conserva- tives, will give Mr, Whitney independ- ent support, Besides this two of, if not the entire three, seats " .in doubt " are expected to go Mr. Whitney's way. Two ministers have been defeated— Hon John Dryden, Minister of Agri- culture, in South Ontario, and Hon. J. M, Gibson, Commissioner of Crown Lands, in Hamilton. The result of the elections in a sur prise to the supporters of the Govern meat. It is safe to say that the timber policy of the administration, which favored Michigan lumbermen, at the expense of Canadians, had much to do with Hardy's defeat. Toronto, as usual, returned four Conservatives. North Waterloo was one of the sur- prises of the day. Not since Confeder- ation has the riding sent a Conserva- tive representative to the Ontario House. The unexpected happened, and the Conservative candidate, Dr. Lackner, was elected by a majority of 85. Tonight the town of Watealoo is in possession of the Conservatives, and torch -light processions and speeches are greatly in evidence. The Free Press Ottawa correspond- ent telegraphs at two o'clock this (Wednesday) morning: "Despite the herculean efforts put forth to corrupt the election by Lumsden and O'Keefe, the Liberal nominees, the Conserva- tives have succeeded against dreadful odds in returning one candidate, Mr, Powell having a majority of three votes over Mr. O'Keefe by official count, the total vote being: -Lumsden, 4,775; Powell, 4,528; O'Keefe, 4,525." The complexion of the last. House was as follows:—Liberals 53; Conser- vatives, 24; Patrons, 14s Independents, 3. The Patrons have been practically a branch of the Liberal party, so that the Government has had a majority of from 30 upwards, Con. Elected. Libe.

It is for the eollectlon of a million -dollar Methodist thanksgiving" fund, to signalize the opening of the twcutieth century. The proposal is an outgrowth of the movement in England, recently report- ed in the telegraphic columns, for a million pound Wesleyan fund there. The Canadian fund is proposed by Rev - John. Potts, D. D., who will agitate for its adoption by the General Coufereuce, and try to bring bis powerful eloquence to bear in its support at that gathering. He has already brought it officially be- fore General Conference officers in a statement, in which he says :—"T would respectively propose that the annual conference recommend such a scheme to the favorable consideration of the next general conference, and that be- tween that time and January tl, 1901. the fund be completed. If English Methodism can raise it twentieth-cen- tury fund of one million pounds star- ling, surely Canadian Methodism can raise a fund of one million dollars. This would not be a g' -at taste for the members and adherent. of Methodism from Newfoundland to British Colum- bia and Japan. "The question will at once arise, What objects should be considered as. worthy to be helped from this twen- tieth-century fund? Personally, I would suggest the supernumerary fund of the Maritime Provinces, and the educational institutions, This, however, with the claims of the Mis- sionary Society, and other connexional funds, should be left to the considera- tion and determination of the General Conference."
