state a few alterations, but they will
be trivial. The candidates elected
number two hundred and fifteen, OF

the army; one hundred fourteen against
it. In the following list by parties the
anti-Semitic Conservatives are included
with the Conservatives and the Inde-
pendepts are treated as members Of the

Reichstag.

THE GOVERNMENT GAINS.
As was expected the latest returns
have increased steadily the list of mem
bers upon whom the Government can
rely for support. While the victories
of the Social Democrats has been re-
garded with alarm, their immediate ef-
| feet upon the fate OF the Army bill will
be more than Offset by the losses Of
Richter Radicals. The great ma
] jority of the Ministers are
confident that by means OF
Conservative, Free Conservative
and National Liberal cartel they can
secure large number Of seats at the
second ballots from the Richterists and
Clericals. They depend upon the gen.
eral alarm excited by the Social Demo-
cratic victories to drive Clerlcals and
opposition Cericals into the Govern
ment camp in constituencies where the
contests are between Conservatives or
National Liberal candidates and So
cialsts.
II these expectations be realized not
only will the government open the
Reichstag with almost half the mem
bers on It's side, but asso be enabled at
the final poll to keep the Social Demo
Gratis down to total Of forty or forty
FIVE seats. That the ministerial eXpec-
tions of general
COMBINATION AGAINST TIE SOCIALISTS.
are not entirely under ground is shown
by the action Of the Clerical leaders.
Immediately after the election they
sent out circular letter to the consti-
tuencies TO admonish Catholic voters
that under no circumstances should
they vote for the Army
bill candidates in the Bye cleo
tions. Since then the socialists
scare has become so general that the
leaders have revoked their first letter
and have sent out another calculated to
solidiy the Catholic vote against the So
cial Democratic candidates, even in
cases where such a course will lead to
the election of a Conservative or Ma
tional Liberal. The official returns !
from many constituencies have been re-
celved and will be published tomorrow.

They contain much interesting infor- |
nation as to the votes polled by Con-
spicuous candidates. Count Herbert !
Bismark, who was elected by the Agra
rians in the Jerichow district, received |
II, 669 votes to G,S4S cast for Ferdinand |
Woellmer, Radical, who was the |
last member for the district. |
Glocke, the Social Democrat candidate,
received 4,34l votes. Count Herbert'S |
majority over all, therefore, was 4S0. |
He polled the full strength OF the Con-
servative vote, which on the first ballot |
in 1890 was 11,1S2. The Radical vote In |
1890 was 1864, and the Socialist vote |
2,4S7 These figures illustrate clearly |
how the Socialists sapped the strength |
OF the Richter vote. In Metz DR.. Haas,
Alsatan and Clerical, was elected |
by 9.655 votes to 3,436 cast for |
Libermann Won SOnnenberg, the |
snti-Semite, and S.42s for Wilhelm
Liebknecht, leader OF the Social Demo- |
Gratis. In Ragnit Count Won Kanitz, |
the high protection conservative, re-
ceived $3.50 TO 1,7S7 cast for his oppon
ent, DR.. Braesicke, Of the Radical /
Union. Rector Ahlwardt, the notori |
Gus Jew batter, now serving sentence |
for libel in the Plotzensee prison, swept |
everything before him in the Arnswalde /
district, his old constituency. |
In Lunenburg the new ballot |
will be between Herr Withehoeft, |
Free Conservative, aud Freiherr Won
Wangenheim, Guelph, who last rep |
resented the constituency. An erron-
eous report was received to the effect |
that the new ballot would be between
Withehoeft and Fischer, Social Demo-
crat. The vote was: Withehoeft, |
s,I2S; Vangenheim, 6.3s5; Fischer, !
4.225; DR.. Meyer, Radical Unionist,
$40.
Other noteworthy figures from the |
official reports are:
Thorn, where new BALLOTS necessary,
because Herr Won Slaski, Pole, and !
last deputy, lacked 81 votes Of ma
jority over all. He received 1912;
Kraehmer. Conservative. 1912; Rudies. |

Liberal, s54; MikDszini. 1.l30. Teltow.
