BERLIN. July 1.-AlthouRh no two estimates
as to the ultimate composition OF the Reichs-
tag may exactly agree. all reliable reck onings

Ing the measure at between POS and 2l0 As
there arc 397 members OF the Reichstag. these
calculations show q sufficiently strong ma
jority to pass the bill. 1t is estimated that tho
opponents OF tho Government In the next
House will mum Der from 1877 to 1872. Whatever
uncertainty exists as to the definite strength
OF the parties arises from the motley charac-
ter OF the planks incorporated in the platforms
on which some OF the candidates stood. When
a man was elected under tho designation OF n
National Liberal. Conservative. or Agrarian.
supported by a union with tho FreisinniRe
party. II became difficult to classify him with
absolute accuracy.
Prot. Hasse. who was elected in Leipsic and
who was described In the Kreu.zeit,tno as n
National Liberal. has written q letter protest.
ing against this classification. and declaring
that he will decide which faction he will join
elected as National Liberal. he says that he
will Join either the Reiohepartei or tho Con-
servatives.
Despite these minor differences tho assured
result Of the election 10 that 2O4 m embers will
support the bill This number will be made
up OF "A Conservatives. "a members OF tho
Reichspsrtei. so National Liberals. IL Rickert-
lists. 16 Poles. 10 Anti -Ssmites. Centrists. and
Independents. against an opposition Of 1o3.
made up Of 95 Centrists. A Social Democrats. "a
Rchterists. IL volkspartei. z Guelphs. ASA

necessary to proceed with six reflections

Werner. tho Socialists l,ebel. and wohlegier
and the Rici,terist Traeger having each been
elected in two districts. The results OF these
reeelections cannot alter the estimate above
given.
Tho Ge,mania. the Centrist organ. contends
that eleven Poles will vote against the bill.
while tho Tossische Zeit,tng tries to make out
that tho adhesion Of the Richterlsts to the
measure is doubtful. Other Opposition organs
affirm that q section OF the Anti-Semites will
oppose tho Government. With regard to the
Richterists. it can be said that the Government
has secured the absolute fidelity OF the faction
now before tho Federal Council. As for tho
Anti-semites, though ordinary standards can.
