rOlSlL NOlL.
Special dispatches from Berlin to the
London press agree that the great fea-
ture Of elections is the interest display
ed by the people, from so to 80 per cent.
Of the full vote having been polled in
Berlin and the larger towns, against the
usual average of 46 per cent. Another
feature is the notable front shown by
the socialists, who, though they lost
several seats, polled more votes than
ever, and we've only defeated by the ex-
traordinary efforts of their opponents.

THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT HAS DIsTRIB-
UTED A PROCLAMATION y
in the native language. 1t says: "The
Austrians come as friends to stop evils
which have for many years disturbed
Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Aus
TRAN borders. The Emperor Francis
Joseph could no longer look on
and see the sufferings of these pf.v-
inces where force and turbulence
reigned, while the government Of the
country was incapable OF restoring or
der, and want ana misery were knock
ing ut the frontiers of his own states.
The emperor therefore directed the eye
of Europe to your position, and the
council of nations decided that Austria
should give you back your long lost
peace and prosperity, The sultan com
mits YOU to the, protection OF his
mighty friend, the emperor. The
Austrian troops bring you peace,
not war. They will protect
all and cypress none. Established cus-
toms and institutions will be respected.
The revenues will be applied solely to
the wants of the country. Arrears OF
taxes will not he collected"
