NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Eighty volumes containing the signatures of American women who desire to see Senator Reed Smoot of Utah ousted from the United States Senate will be sent to Washington this week. Six months ago the National League of Women's Organizations sent an appeal to every State in the Union asking women to help in the fight against Smoot by signing a memorial to th United States Senate asking the ex- on of Senator Smoot on the ground he pledged his first alliance to the Mormon hierarchy, thus setting it above the United States- Government.

Then each Senator in turn will present the signatures from his | State.

Few additional returns are received, as the pollings in rural towns are not known generally until the following day, but those reported show persistent Liberal and Labor gains. Glasgow has gone strongly Liberal, the seven contests being marked by four Lib- eral and one Labor gain, while the only two Unionists left in the representation | are free traders. John Morley, Secretary for State for India, was returned for Montrose by a good majority. Cambridge University returned two TUnionist tariff reformers, 8. H. Butcher and Mr. Rawlinson. Lancashire appears to be going as strongly Liberal as did Manchester, the three results already received there reé- | cording two Liberal and one Labor gain. | Among those unseated in Lancashire are | Lord Stanley, former Postmaster Gen- eral, by the Laborite, W. T. Wilson, with | @ majority of 3128, and C. A. Cripps by | H. Nuttal (Liberal and free trader) with | & majority of 2824. The Liberal tide rose faster than ever | to-day as the flood of returns came in from yesterday’s elections in the coun- ties. Fourteen more Conservative seats were captured, while the Unionists could record a victory in only one division, | which was more than counterbalanced by | the Labor gains in Sunderland and War- | wickshire, | Well-known "Unionists like Willlam St. | John Brodrick, the former Secretary of State for India, in the Guilford division of Surrey; Henry Chaplin, the former president of the local government board in' the Steaford division of Lincolnshire, and Alwyn E. Fellows, the former presi- dent of the Board of Agriculture in the Ramsey or northern division of Hunting- donshire, having been overwhelmed by the Liberal avalanche. Among the new members interesting to America is Dr. Stopford W. Brooke, a former Unftarian minister of Boston, who captured the Bow and Bromley division | half of the Liberals. Taken alfogether the returns, though less sensational than those previously re- ported, are most dlsastrous from the Unionist standpoint. No less than six members of the Balfour Ministry have been unseated. Since the el ctions opened :the Unionists have gained only three | seats, ~while the Ministerialists have | gained 132 seats. The seats up to, the present are distributed as follows: Lib- erals, 202; Unionists, 87; Laborites, 385; Nationalists, 60. 5 The continued Liberal triumphs have made the results at Birmingham yester- day seem all the more remarkable and |lend color to the contention of the Lib- epals that they were due exclusively to the force of Chamberlain’s personality and to local influences and that they had no connection whatever with the fiscal problem. Archibald Cameron Corbett (Unionist Free Trader) has been elected for the Tradestone dlvision of F. Glasgow, de- feating D. M. Mason, the Liberal candi- date. Corbett, it will be remembered, wrote to the Times on December 30, call- ing the attention of Reid, the American Embassador, and Premier Campbell-Ban- nerman, to the aileged unconstitutional | action of his opponent, who he charged, in addressing his constituents, announced that he had had a friendly interview with President Roosevelt at Washington ‘in which Mr. Roosevelt guardedly expressed { his hearty sympathy with the Liberal party in Great Britain. ETEEL L FEUD IN UNIONIST RANKS. Defeated Candidate Bitterly Attucks Chiet Conservative Whip. LONDON, Jan. 18—Thomas Gibson Bowles, the Unionist free trader, who was defeated at Kings Lynn, in Norfolk, by a tariff reformer, provides a new sensa- tion in the campaign by the publication to-night of correspondence with Sir Alex- ander Fuller Acland-Hood, the chief Conservative whip. In this correspond- ence Bowles accused the Unionist party of sacrificing his seat on the dictum of Joseph Chamberlain, simply because he was a Unionist free trader. The correspondence includes scathing letters to Sir Alexander, containing nu- merous thinly veiled personal insults, ac- | cusing him of deliberate breach of faith and politically dishonorable conduct. Continuing, Bowles attacks the sourte from which the Conservative party fund was derived and gives chapter and verse regarding the incident of some years ago when Ernest Terah Hooley, ‘“of un- happy memory,” contributed $50,000 to the party fund “in circustances most dis- creditable.” This contribution, Bowles says, was refused and was returned by Lord Salisbury at his instance. Bowles, insinuating that his guccessful opponent received support from the party fund, says: “From such a fund I should deem it shameful to receive assistance.” Sir Alexander 1in ' replying says that Bowles was discredited by the organiza- tion because of his attacks on Balfour and Chamberlain, but he briefly denies that A, H. Burgoyne, the successful can- didate at Kings Lynn, received any sup- port from the fund. ‘ Bowles, under to-day’s date, replies to Sir Alexander, who, he says, evades every point raised, but he accepts the statement that Burgoyne's candidacy was not sup- ported by the Conservative fund. He says he understands from a rumor which it would be worth Sir Alexander's time to rectify that the fund wae recently con- tributed to in immense sums by the re- cipients of dignities and favors which could have been bestowed only by Pre- mier Balfour. In conclusion Bowles says: ™You have gacrificed my seat. Now look te your own.” This correspondence, which is distinctly sensational at this stage of the campaign, will be used with tremendous force by the Liberal press. The Unionists, how- ever, regard it as merely a vitriolic blaze of anger on the part of a defeated candidatf, who failed to merit the sup- port of the organization and who at heart was leagued with the opposition. ¥ You Want to Know How to handle accounts, to save time, trouble and expenso, lnmunn;.:m‘l leat ledger vstems.

The session resulted practical- ly in an agreement on the main lines of a plan for the repression of contra- band entering Morocco, It was feared that this question of contraband might lead to Franco-German tension as to which would carry out the repressive measures proposed, but this situation happily appears to have been avolded. The only divergence was a statement made by the Moroccan delegates that they could not permit the repression of or the hunting for arms without first referring the matter to the Sultan. The delegates were in accord upon the need of all the powers, assisted by Morocco, in passing laws penalizing the introduction of contraband. This followed a proposition, submitted by Spain, which was designed to reconcile the difference between France*and Ger- many. A committee of five was ap- pointed to study and report on a final project at the session to be held on Saturday. To-day's meeting has strengthened the feeling that the results of the con- ference will be satisfactory. One dan- ger in the conference is considered t¢ be in the stiff attitude of Great Britain France, it seems, is disposed to dis- cuss with Germany the basis of an agreement, but whether Great Britain will favor such an-agreement Is not known. HHowever, nearly every one be- lieves that the longer the preliminaries are kept up the less will be the dan- ger—that time alone will ald in har- monizing the various differences. Active telegraphing is going on be- tween the Embassadors and their re- spective capitals. $ Something of a flutter was caused among the diplomatists to-day by the news that smallpox exists here. Rear Admiral Sigsbee, who learned this fact from the authorities at Gibraltar, is- sued an order forbidding any one be- longing to his squadron to go ashore. e o SIGSBEE’S SQUADRON SAILS.

GIBRALTAR, Jan. 18.—The American cruiser squadron, consisting of the armored cruiser Brooklyn, flying the flag of Rear Admiral Sigsbee, and the protected cruisers Galveston, Tacoma and Chattanooga, sailed from here for Tangler to-day, The appearance of the warships, with the Brooklyn leading, in single formation, was exceedingly smart. The squadron will remain three days at Tangier and thence will go to Algiers and other Mediterranean ports. The Galveston and Chattanooga ex- pect to be ordered to the China station later. 7 The behavior of the American sail’ ors during their stay here was ex- cellent. DIRECT TESTIMONY AGAINST BLOEBAUM Three Witnesses Swear That He Brutally Hazed and Abused Them. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 18.—Hazing of a brutal nature was revealed during the trial of Midshipman Chester A. A. Bloebaum to-day more plainly than in any of the previous proceedings. THree fourth-class men testified without the slightest hesitation that they had been hazed by Bloebaum until they were ut- terly exhausted, one severe physical ex- ercise after another being required of them until they lacked power to con- tinue. The most severe accusation was con- tained in the evidence of Edwin K. Caldwell of Kentucky, who said that Bloebaum had hazed ard abused him because he would not make arrange- ments for Bloebaum to be introduced to a certain young lady of the fourth- class man’'s acquaintance. Eloebaum is an appointee of Con- gressman Champ Clark, who said re- cently on the floor of the House of Rep- resentatives that he would arm a youth he sent to Annapolis with a bowie knife and hatchet. * Bloebaum did not go on the stand nor bifer any other witnesses in his defense. The argument of counsel will proceed to-morrow.

A barricade was erected in one of the streets lead- ing to the fish market and the police were firming resisted until midnight. Twenty, policemen were wounded, one of whom has since died. The demonstrations are mainly or- ganized by Socialists and are intended as a protest against the proposed elec- tion law which partly disfranchises the poorer classes. More than twenty shops were plun- dered. The number of rioters wounded is not known, but more than a dozen men were treated at one drug store. Some of them were seriously injured. A policeman broke the skull of a 12- year-old boy.

Miller's trial is the first in the cases of eleven weighmasters and others at the stock yards indicted last year,. following an investigation by a committee of the Traders’ Exchange. Miller testified before the Grand Jury that indicted the men that he knew noth- ing of the existence of the alleged crook- edness and the prosecution is trying to prove that he did. A. J.

H, Jan. 18.—While the official report of the tragedy of Wednesday at North Pembroke, bY which the lives of all the eight mem- bers of the household of Charles 8. Ayer were blotted out, will not be completed for several days, the county authorities belleve that a dispute over money mat- ters furnished the motive for Ayer's al- leged crime. The theory held by County Solicitor Thomas F. Clifford is that Ayer shot his mother-in-law, Mrs, Laura Lakeman; that his wife inter fered to protect her mother, and, hoping to conceal the evidence of his act, Ayer in a frenay put an end to the lives of the remainder of the family and set fire to the dwelling. He commit! suicide several hours later at the home of his sister, Mrs. George Balley, In Chichester. He never regained com= sciousness and dled last night. Investigation disclosed the fact thay for three months Ayer had been broods ing over fancied financial wrong Im connectlon with a settlement of the ese tate of his wife's father, Isaac Lake« man, who died three years ago. The widow was named as administrae trix and in November last Mrs. Lake- man put up the farm at auction. It was bought by one of her sons, Fayett Lakeman. He made an arrangement for Ayer and his wife to remain on the place, having their rent free In return for boarding Mrs. Lakeman, paying the taxes and making repairs.
