L COCOON, Jan. 15. — The first engage
ment in the fight for tariff reform,
a groat navy and the supremacy
of the lords as against free trade, re
form of the house of lords and home
rule ended tonight with neither party
in a commanding position.
The standing of the various parties,
including: uncontented seats, follows:
Unionists. 43; liberals, 37; laborites,
6; nationalist? 5 . 5.
L'niunist gain, IS: liberal gain, S;
laborite gain over liberals, 1;. no
I'hanfi* 1 , (".?>.
j
Of th<» 12 Beats contested in London
i he liberals hold* 7 and the unionists
5, 3 of the latter being gains in North
Lambeth, Brixton and Kulham.
Unionists Win Most Seats
Jp. the provinces the unionists pained
Southwest Manchester. Stalybridge,
Salisbury, Rochester, Burnley, two seats -
in Dcvonport. Cambridge, Yarmouth,
Gloucester, Wolverhampton, West and
South. W<Kinesburg and two seats in
Bath, ,
The liberals won Manchester, North
west: I>arlington and -Grimsby. The
lahor pain was at East Manchester. v
The results of the polling tend to
confirm the forecast that the liberals
will retain control of the government
with a greatly reditced majority. The
unionists have pained an encouraging
number of s^ats, although less than the
I' 9 which they expected to take away,
frorr. the liberals out 'of the 74 bal
loted for.
Liberal Majorities Reduced •
The- popular, vote jroes strongly
against the liberals. The members of
that party who hold seats won them to
day by majorities ranging from 30 to 60
per cent below their majorities in 1906,
except in a few boroughs where special
conditions figured in the campaign.
The popular votes polled by the lib
erals for the 12 London seats show a
stronger hold on power than in the
provinces. The majority of the Lori
tlon boroughs were labor districts. Of
these the unionists carried five, three
being captured from the liberal column,
but by small margins.'
Manchester and Birmingham give
heavy unionist gains. \u25a0.
Victory for Chamberlain
Birmingham, has been strongly con
servative, largely the result of Joseph
Chamberlain's crusade for protection,"
and today the unionists carried the city
eolfdly by increased majorities, nearly
S.ooo larger than in 1906.
In Manchester the unionists increased
their votes, for while the liberals still
have five of the six peats the liberal
majorities were decreased pearly 9,000.
' Thj> most sweeping change in London
was in Kulham borough, where Ihe j
mld<l!«* class population went enthusi
astic-ally for tariff reform, giving W.
Hayes Fisher, unionist, a majoritS 1 " of
Waldorf Astor Beaten
Davenport, where the big navy issue
was predominant, wiped out the lib
eral majority and returned two union
ists by f.OO, Pir J. Jackson and Sir C.
Kinloch Cooke. Sir Henry Norman, the
liberal journalist, who is well known
in America, and who recently was ap
pointed assistant postmaster general,
was defeated at Wolverhampton, South,
by a small majority. In order to re
tain his place in the cabinet he will be
nominated for another borough.
Waldorf Astor and, Sir H. Mortimer
Durand, the former ambassador to the
United States, who contested the two
Plymouth seats as unionists, were de
feated, but cut down that city's liberal
majority from 2,3€7 to M 6;
Davidson Daziel, a promoter, and at
one time conspicuous in Wall street,
unionist, turned out J. .H. Seaverns, a
liberal and former. American, from his
seat for the Brixton division of Lam
(iilbert Parker Keeps Seat
W. Joytison-Hicks, the unionist, who
brat Winston fc'pencer Churchill in the
Manchester bye election of 1908 by 494

Right Hon. G. Wyndhara. who will

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
CRESCENT CITY, Jan. 15.— With
' its captain - and his wife and
child and ¥ its crew of six men
missing; the schooner San Buenaven
tura* heavily laden with lumber, ,ia
ashore on the beach near the moufh
of ,Rpgue river, 5$ jmiles north of here,
and is rapidly breaking up. | >v;
Mystery Surrounds Wreck
The absence of any sign of: lif<s
aboard the doomed vessel and the lack
of any information concerning the
fate of 4 the crew throws an element o£,
mystery about the wreck. Apparently,
however, the' schooner was abandoned
before it struck and it is thought
probable that - while it was being
blown northward in a helpless con
dition during the severe gale of
Thursday the crew was taken off by
some passing steamer out at sea.
The San Buenaventura, under,com
mand of Captain Rappmundt of Saa
Francisco, sailed from Eureka on
Wednesday for Altata. Mexico. It
carried a crew of six men, and there
wer^ also on board the captain's wifo
and child.
Crew May Have Escaped
The mouth o^ Ilogue river, where tha
schooner was. beached, is approximately
175 miles north of Eureka. From, this,
it is supposed, that the San Buenaven
tura-met with misfortune shortly after
leaving Eureka and was blown this dis
tance "northward away from its course
during Thursday's storm.
failure to' have heard anything of
the members of the crew up '•to. the
present time has caused considerable
anxiety, but it is not thought probable
that 'all hands could have been lost be
fore the vessel beached, and the gener
ally accepted belief is that they wero
rescued by some passing vessel.
Wrecked Schooner Seen
PORT- OKFOItD. Jan. 15.— A courier
tonight brought word from Gold Beach
that an unknown lumber schooner is
sunk off the mouth of the Rogue river.
.Only about two feet of her hull or
deck is visible between seas. All her
salfs are set. There Is no sign of
life. aboard her. It Is .believed at Gold
Beach j that the craft ts the lumber
schooner San . Euenventura. A terriflo
storm i 3 still raging- along the coast
and no onje ,• has been able to reach
the stranded vessel."
This morning when residents of Gold
Bejch .arose the 'strange vessel met
their, eyes. The craft had drifted in
during the nisrht. A. careful watch,
was maintained all' day. but no stga
of '.life 'aboard her wy manifested.
When the "courier left .Gold- Beacfti
there was no indication of how soon *
