The Result of the Elections fs the
Overthrow of the Radicals.

The Result of the Elections is the
Overthrow of the Radicals.
BERLIN, June 1.-THE Socialist Vor-
waerts exults over the result of the
elections, which it says will form "glo-
rious title page to the radiant words of
the future"
The aggregate Socialist vote bids fair
to exceed 2,000,00O. The Vorwaerts pre-
dicted that the National Liberal success
es would be chiefly in the rich manu-
featuring towns of Germany. 1t is not
likely, says the VOrwaerts, that any
ants will be successful at the expense
of Conservatives, who dry nursed them.
A conspicuous feature of the elections
is the overthrow of the Radicals
Returns from 348 of the districts in
which elections for members of the
reIchstag were held on Thursday, re-
ceived up to 3 o'clock this evening show
thu election Of 40 Contrasts, thirty-seven
Conservatives, twenty-four Social De-
lnocrats, seventeen National Liberals
nine Cen rists in favor OF the bill, four
Volksparte, thirteen Poles, six Alsatians,
three Anti Semites and three Wilde,
with $50 ballots necessary. No Rich
tersts have yet been cleo ed. An an
alysIs OF the re-bailots shows that the
Socisl-Democrats ard National Liberals
Will figure cliefy IN them. with the
Richterists and COnterists a long way
; behind. The defeat of the Richterists
appears to be irretrievable. The Aus
trian officials papers hold that the re-
suits of the election are alarming. The
DeItsche Zeltung says:
Germany can only be saved by a
strong baud. 1t is time Caprivi showed
that the future of Germany is safe in bis
care"
TOWN SINKING
A portion OF Schneidumenbul. a
manufacturing town of Russia, is sink
ing IN consequence of the boring of an
artesian well. The inhabitants of the
district are in danger, which covers Sc
veral squares and will be compelled to
leave their homes. Three government
engineers have gone to the scene To try
prevent the ruin of the town.
Dr.. Won Pottenburg aud his wife
daughter of the Hon. William Walter
Phelps, ex-minn ter to Germany, have
returned to Berlin. They have taken a
residence on the New Withelm-strasse
LONDON, June 1.-THE Berlin cores:
pendent of the Times commenting on
the elections says: Richter sowed the
wind and reaped the wbirlwind. Lii
beral al Radical papers are appealing
to their friends to close up their ranks
to withstand the Socialist onslaught.
None venture to prOphesy the first re-
suit. Richter's organ still maintains
the only mistake was in not going far
enough In opposing the government;
that had they accepted the army bill
they would have sustained still greater
disasters.
At six o'clock this morning, however,
not q dispatch had been received to in
dictate that the 4 chtsrists had carried
constituency in the first ballot. This
failure of the Richterists is due partly
to the fact that the Radicals VINO beseted
Richter to make a government cam
paIgn under the banner of the Radical
Union were the cream of the old party.
Excepting Virdchow hardly conspicu-
Gus deputy stood by Richter after the
dissolution OF the Reichstag Rickert.
BroemelhiHsa, Barth editor of tire Ma
ton, Seamans and Hsenel deserted at
once to the government. The dissel sonts
are known to have elected one deputy
and TO have the best chances of electing
seven or eight more on the second bal
lot. TIE Richtsrists, who constituted
two-thirds Of toe parliamentary party
of 81, will bring probably few more than
% members into the next Reichstsg. .
This state of affairs is distinctly favor
able to the government, as the loss of
the Radical opposition is expected to
more than connterbalance to gains of
the social Democratic opposition.
NEw YORK, June 1.-THE returns Of
the elections in Germany were read with
keen interest by many German Americ-
an citizens in this city, and great deal
of attention was conferred upon the
gains made by the Social-Democratic
party, Notwithstanding the fact that the
gains by that party we're expected. Va
riOus OCioniCn5 were expressed as to the
cause of the increased Socialist vote
even by the Socialists themselves. They
were all OF the opinion, however, that
they had won greet victory.
Henry Weilaman, who is a Radical
Socialist said: AT the last elections
the Socialists gained six seats, but that
was on account Of the overthrow of Bis
marck's power and the repeal Of the Anti
Socialist laws. OF course a correspond
ing gain in this election could not be
expected. The Socialists will probably
gain five to ter add tionsl members IN
the reichstag, principally in large cities
and manufacturing centers. The large
increase of the Socialist vote, however
does not necessarily Indicate a great
spread of Socialism IN Germany, bot Is
a protest against military .absolutlou."
Mr.. Loeser, editor in chief of the New
York Steats Zsilung said: The situa-
ton is struggle between Imperialism
and progressive Liberalism. The men
who voted the Soc ahst ticket were not
all Socialists or Monarchists as We u
derstood them TO be mere. They had -
way Of protesting against Imperialism
except by voting with the Socialists
The next question will be whether if the
reichstag refuses to pass the Military
bill, the emperor Will dissolve it. That
will lead to deadly struggle between
Imperialism and progress but revOlu-
