Churchill, Conservative, Be- turned Without Opposition, Loxpox, July 1—The general election opened today with the return without oppo- sition of Lord Randolph Churehill, conserva- tive, from South Paddington. Lord Randolph Churchill represented South Paddington in the ment just dissolved. The district is over- Weeagiy’ conmmvative asd. unionist. Ta 1885 Lord Randolph had 2,731 votes to 1,625 for Skinner. liberal. In 1886,the Irish home rule issue | having arisen, the liberal rote dwindled to 769 for Hopps, liberal, to 2,576 for Churebill, and this time the liberals thought it best not to waste any more money in contesting the seat, | but to retain their funds for use in districts that promised better results for the liberal | party. Lord Randolph, who is known as “the | candid friend,” is not regarded as a desirable ally by many of the conservatives, but he has a personal influence which they cannot ignore. Mr. Gladstone's address in Edinburgh is the | topic everywhere and is eagerly perused by Doth the parties. The tories accuse Mr. Glad- | stone of raising a ciees issue and of pandering | to the popular prejudice against the rich an: titled. The first polling in which there will be con- tests will occur on Monday. The elections on that day will include polling in only one Lon- | don district. Forty-eight elections will be held | im the provincial districts. ‘TUESDAY TO BE A TEST DAY. Tuesday will be the test day. On that day! elections will be held in sixteen of the London districts and in about forty of the provincial towns. On the two following days elections will be held in most of the boroughs. The resulta of these elections will virtually disclose the position of the parties in Great Britain. The polling in Ireland will open at | Belfast on Wednesday. The date of the elec- tion in Cork city is fixed for July 8. ‘This is the constituency formerly represented | by Mr. Parnell, who was succeeded by Martin | vin. The polling in Ireland will extend from July 6 to July 16. s. ‘Now that the elections are actually under . way it may be of interest to describe the man- ner in which Great Britain and Ireland are di- vided for parliamentary representation. It may be useful to state that, thougy the house of commons consists of 670 membe®. there are only 643 constituencies, as a number of con- stituencies, boroughs and universities retarn two members each.

He therefore suggested that the vote should not be taken till Monday week.

The matter went over for the present without any agreement as to the time for taking the vote. The conference report on the bills as to cir- cuit courts of appeals was presented and agreed to. PRIVATE PENSION BILLS. Private pension bills on the calendar were then taken up and twenty-eight of them passed. Among them was one increasing from $30 to $50 a month the pension of a soldier of the war of 1812 now 100 years old; one increasing the pension of the widow of ‘Gen. R. I. De Russy from $80 to $50; also one increasing from $12 to $30 the pension of the widow of a revolu- tionary soldier now eighty-five years old. THE BILL TAKEN UP. At2o'clock Mr. Morgan, who had shortly before entered the chamber, inquired of the chair as to what proposition had been made to- day on the subject of the silver bill. presiding officer (Mr. Manderson) said that no proposition had been submitted to the chair this morning, although there had been 1 | some discussion as to propositions; but nothing "by the chair. had yet been entertained 3 Mr. Vest inquired whether a motion had been made to recommit the bill. The presiding officer—That motion has been made by the Senator from Oregon (Mr. Dolph). Mr. Vest—And that motion is pending? ‘The presiding offcer—That ls the pending motion. Mr. Stewart—That is a violation of the agree- ment. The agreement is to vote today on the bill and amendments. Ofcourse any dilatory motion is a violation of the agreement. ‘Mr. Gray did not believe that it was_under- stood by any considerable number of Senators who were present when the unanimous consent was given that that unanimous consent cut off any of the parliamentary resources which be- ;; | longed to those who or to those who So | tvered the BL PP bill, At this point of the discussion the presiding officer (at 2 p.m.) laid the silver bill before the Senate as the unfinished he felt it his duty to call attention to the unani- mous consent given on the 29th of June. He had an extract read from the Congres- Record covering that matter, and then sional announced that the i juestion was Mr. Doiph’s motion to recommafé tke bie ‘MR. STEWART'S UNDERSTANDING. Mr. Frye asked Mr. Stewart whether he con- tended that under that agreement the Senate amendment Mr. Stewart intimated that he did.

In passing upon the application of the United States Electric Lighting Company for permis- sion to lay additional conduits for electric lighting purposes, the attorney for the District in an opinion rendered today says: It seems to me that the antnority to lay con- duits, and the power of the board to issue per- mits for that purpose, revived by the expiration of the congressional limitation, is restricted to the construction ‘of “‘additional” conduits and subways, It would seem that the stat- ute only allows further construction where it would be “‘additional” to the established un- derground plant or system of some legal au- thorized and existing company. In my view an established and operating plant of underground conduits or subways is necessary to authorize any further construction. The United States Electric Lighting Company I think falls within this requirement and in my opinion the board of Commissioners should apply the same rule adopted in the telephone company case and issue the desired permit.

According to the uncorrected returns of the police census takers the District of Colutnbia | has a total population of 257,183, an increase of 89,036as compared with the census of 1888, | when the total was 218,157, and an increase of 53,734 as compared with the police census of 1885, The figures given by this year's police | census show an increase of 26,801 over the gov- | ernment census of last year, when the figures given showed a population of 230,392. In the police census just finished every effort | was made to secure accuracy and the enumerat- | ors were not required to ask 80 many questions ‘as asked by the government census takers. The Sgues gionen ane time. it is thought, are not | exactly correct, as the revised 8 difference of 1,000 or 2,000 either way. THE FULL REPORT NOT COMPLETED.

In this precinct, where there are many busi- ness houses, the figures show a decrease, t year's figures showing a population of 12,773, while in 1888 the figures showed a total of 19,232. This decrease is the result of a change in the boundaries of the precinct and perhaps the fact that the buildings from two entire squares have been torn down. SECOXD PRECINCT.

In other where the number of villages and@ tlements have increased portions of the older ones are included in the new ones.
