During an election riot in Londonderry the barracks of the Salvation Army were wrecked, and twenty loyalists were injured Charles Stewart Parnell was elected to Parliament from the city of Cork by a vote of 6,716. Timothy Healy, who was on the ticket with him, received 6,546 votes. Under instructions from the War Office in London, preparations are being made at Alexandria and Cairo for a new expedition to Dongola, comprising about 6,500 men. The steamer Greyhound last month started out from Hong Kong on a trading trip with 120 passengers. When twenty miles from shore, forty of tho passengers fired on the officers, killing tfio captain. Tho vessel was robbed of SIO,OOO worth of goods, which wero placed on three junks. Six men concerned in the outrage have been captured, and will bo beheaded at Canton. Parnell will hold the balance of power in tho next English Parliament. A cable special to tho Chicago Tribune says: Several things in regard to the election seem to be settled to-day which were uncertain yesterday. First, the Liberals have abandoned the hope of attaining a majority; second, the most of the Liberals who will sit in .the next Parliament will he Moderates’, and Lord Hartington will be their ■ dealer—not Mr. Chamberlain; third, the • Tories will not have a majority over - all, and Mr. Parnell will hold the balance of power. The attitude of the Irish leaders has caused the intensest indignation among English Liberals. Several of tho largest Liberal employers of labor in Manchester are beginning quietly to get rid of thei) Irish hands. The Liberal collapse is variously explained. The Tory papers talk inces&aully of the “Tory reaction.” This is nonsense. There is no Tory reaction. The sweeping defeat of the Liberals in London and Lancashire are entirely due to tho Pamellite voto, to the unequaled perfection of: its organization, and to tho frantic enorgy of the Irish leaders and. rank and file. The Tories are turning upon their Irish allies with amusing celority. The chief Tory organ has already told Thomas Power O’Connor, whose stumping .of Lancashire produced the Tory victories, that he will Boon be turned out of his Liverpool seat. The Tories have also defeated the Land-Reform candidates.ip Scotland, considering tlufi they were thereby defeating Parnell. Tho fact is, Parnell had’refused to have any dealings with the laud-restorers, and their sole Irish partiasn was Michael Davitt. Prince Alexander’s forces have defeated the Servians at Pirot and captured the town. The Porte has asked (he Prince to stop the advance of his victorious troops. Meanwhile Turkish war preparations continue on a largo scale.
