BEELIy, June is.-The elections are pro-
crossing quietly. Almost tropical weather
prevails everywhere In the country, which
will bring out heavy vote In tho rural
districts. In Berlin thero 10 an utter alb
sencc of excitement. tho streets wearing
an every day appearance. The wealthy
classes appear apathetic rs to tho out
come. The expectations Of the authorities
OF disorder among tho lower classes IL, 20
Tar, unwarranted and the troops which
were ordered to be in readiness arc loung-
ing lazily about the barracks. Very few
voters went to the polls before noon. At
that hour workmen left tho factories and
walked In groups to the voting stations
and deposited their ballots. The socialisfs
displayed moro activity than any othor
political group. Tho women seem
as deeply Interested in the success
of the social democratic candidates as are
tho mon of the party. number OF
women were dist, ihIiing tickets, while
others scattered leaflets In behalf Of tho
socialist party broadcast.
Among the earliest voters at the Kaiser
hof station wero Chancellor Caprivi and
DIR. Won Boetticher, secretary Of tho I'm
perial home Office. All tho pos,ofllcc en-
ployes have been given leave OF absence
tricts. The police have taken no meas
ures to prevent rioting. Thus far. how
over, everything has passed on quietly
and no disturbances are expected.
SOCIALISTS ELArED.
At the headquarters of the socialist
democrat executive committee, telegram
after telegram brought the news OF socia.
list-democratic gains. An enormous vote
is evidently being polled for the socialist
candidates in the Rhine provinces, ,Saxony,
Hamburg, Frankfort-on-the-Mai and
other industrial centers. Paul Inger and
Herr Schmidt, two of the socialist candi-
dates In Berlin, are reported as sure of
heavy najorl,ies. The socialists are also
confident that they will capture other
Berlin districts.
In Hamburg, tho balloting promised to
result in the return Of three socialists and
Stcttin, Leipsic, Kiel, West Breslau. Err
langen. Mainse. Mannheim, Offelbach
and Sonnebcrs arc said to be likely to re-
turn socialists.
Herr Krupp. the national.libsral, 10 sati
not to be getting the support that he ex.
pected. DR.. Storeker, the anti-Semite,
Baron Hammerstein, . conservative, and
Eugene Richter are reported as sure Of
seats. Tho agrarians were highly elated
when they learned how Count Herbert
Bismarck had run. A reballot will proba-
bly, be necessary.
Ats o'clock nothing positively 10 known
of the results, although dispatches from
40 districts indicated that tho socialists
had secured 10 and the conservatives,
Richterists, and libcral-clericals divided
the other 20 among them.
LATEST RETURNS.
BERLIN, June 16.-At o'clock this
morning the returns from 20 districts in.
dicate that 3s have been carried by parties
opposed to the army bill. Is have been
carried BY parties fayoring the bill, and
n are I'm doubt between the governmen,
and tho opposition parties, with the
chances In the majority Of them strongly Ia
favor Of the government. The govern.
ment parties have lost three Of their for
mer seats, two to the Richterists. or to the
socialist democrats, as second ballots
shall decide, and one to south German
democrat. The government won one
seat. trbe socialist democrats won tive
| seats, besides having secured man,
chances for now victories in the second
ballot.
The police closed up five socialist mass
| meetings, owing to overcrowding. The
crowds poured cheering into the streets
and were then quickly dispersed b,
mounted police. II is stated that the So
clalists are likely to win three out of the
four rebnllots against the radicals. lr
Berlin not q single candidate pledged te
support the army bill gained even tho bar
rem honor OF reballot. The prospect ol
tho government gaining a majority ap
pears to be vanishing. Roughly speaking
the socialist vote shows q great increass
everywhere.
