by the consideration of the reports of the
committee on laws, but nothing important
was done. The momentous question of
the evening was brought IN when the com

Several small election riots are reported
from the provinces. In Strassburg short

600 Socialists began parading the streets
and shouting for their candidate, August
Bebel They refused to dispense when the
police attacked them and many cheered
for France. The military eventually broke
mp the procession and arrested eight men.
Nobody was injured.
In Reutlangan, Wurtemburg, the police
slashed and arrested many Democrats who
attacked the police station. In Greun-
burg, Silesia, the Socialists rioted through
the streets The police dispersed them
with drawn sabres and arrested the leaders.
In this city the police arrested Herr Land
auer, an Anarchist editor, on the charge
of melting riots.
The Socialist organ Vorwaerts exults
over the result of the elections, which, it
says, will form "a glorious title-page to
the radiant records of the future The
aggregated Socialist vote bids fair to ex-

that the National Liberal success would be
chiefly in the rich manufacturing towns of
