BIC sOCIALIsT GAIN.


 Result of the Election in Germany Socialists Were Acttve-The Wealth. Ter Glasses Seemed to Re Apathetic. BERLIN, June 5.-Election day brought tropical heat to all parts of the Empire. In Berlin the pavements have been scorched. Apparently the election has been . notably quiet one. In Berlin there has been com plete absence of all excitement. The wealthier classe. seemed to be apathetic as to the outcome.
 The authorities, fearing disorders among the lower classes, had troops and the re- serve police kept in their barracks so as to be ready to repress any outbreak. Very few voters went to the polls before noon. At that hour the workmen deposited their votes. The stations of the fourth and sixth districts in Ackerstrasse, Bruennes- trasss, ,Chauseestrasse, the Kottbuserstrasse the Frankfurterstrasse, and at the Rosen- thaler were crowded. There are 626 sta tions in the city, 500 of them being in taverns and restsurants, while the remain They were among the earliest voters at the polls. All the onicials attached to the post office received five hours leave In order to
 
 the tramway and omnibus lines were al- lowed to go to the polls in relays. Each relay was granted two hours for voting purposes.
 | A number of men and women gathered at 8 8. m. at the book brewery, tho head quarters of the socialists, in the Second district. Some devoted themselves to re- ceiving orders for electoral tickets while others scattered leaflets in behalf of the tv liata a len more activity than any other political | group. Women seemed to be as deeply | in the success of the social democratic candidates as were the men of the party. Early in the day the social democrats were reused by a dispatch credited to | that Fritz Kuenert, social democratic can | didate in the Halle district, had been ar rested on a charge of melting to theft while be-was making speech. The dispatch, however, differed from other dis patches. At the headquarters telegram | after telegram brought news of social dem | ocratic gains. An enormous vote evident | ly was being boiled for socialist candidates in the Rhine provinces, Saxony, Hamburg, Frankfort-o the Main and other indus 1 trial centers.
 The agrarians were highly elated when they learned this afternoon that Count Herbert Bismarck had run so unexpectedly we'll in the Jerichow district that 6 rs-bal- lot probably would be necessary. The general expectation was that Count Her
 bert would be beaten easily by his free trade antagonist The early afternoon re- ports brought equally surprising news from the first Berlin district where Colonel
 von Egidy, anti-Semite, was said to be
 polling very heavy vote among the
 wealthiest and best educated voters. His l oov voc ridtoula1 IuyinO the aAnn
