LIBERAL VICTORY IN CANADA.

Lnurler Hue Majority of Nearly Seventy—Borden Loses Sent. Sir Wilfrid Lauricr and the Liberal purty are masters of Canada. The party which has heed in power for the Inst eight years has swept the dominion overwhelmingly against the Conservatives, under the leadership of Robert Laird Borden, From latest reports the Liberals appear to have gained one of the most complete triumphs in the history of Canadian politics and, contrary to general expectation, they will have a larger majority in the new parliament than in the old. They are assured of a majority of nearly seventy, ns against their lato majority of fifty-four. The results show mnny surprises. The' defection of former Minister Tarto lias had no effect in the province of Quebec, and the Conservatives elect only ten members there. French sentiment was too strong in this stronghold of ths Frcnch-Canadiaiis to be shaken in any degree. In Ontario, where the conservatives expected to make a large gain, the Libersis hare scored instead and hare cut down the former Conservative majority of fifteen to six.
