l
constituencies, however, the seats are
likely to change parties. At noo1 the
Government candidates have apparently
! lost slightly in the constituencies which
choose deputies by yesterdays ballot, and
on the other hand. IN the second ballots,
which now seem inevitable In some 100
or 125 districts, the Government has ex-
ceptional opportunities TO win many seats.
This is especially applicable to the seats
contested by the Radical Unlonists, who
in the last Reichstag voted against the
Army bill, but have supported It oil the
stump, and, If reelected, will vote for it
in a somewhat modified form.
This morning the National Liberals. who
were expected to return to Parliament
with their delegation reduced from 40 to
about 30, contended that they you'd have
at fewest 80 members. After the second
ballot the Richter Radicals will have
hardly more. Their failure to draw oppo-
sltion votes has been the most surprising
feature Of the election.
The Social Democrats boast they Will
have sixty seats after the reballots. This
is about the number conceded them be-
fore the election The Conservatives are
likely to hold their own. The number Of
Liberal Clericals In the next Reichstag.
although in doubt is expected to ap-
prOach 100.
At 7 o'clock this evening the numerical
relations Of the parties as indicated by
the returns confirmed In most respects
the estimates made at noon. The Social
Democrats had continued TO gain at the
expense OF the Richterists. The Govern
ment parties had lost apparently four Of
their former seats. but had made up for
the loss by increasing their chances in
the second ballots. and by winning three
seats formerly held by the opposition.
The Free Conservatives moreover, had
apparently the prospect Of swelling their
parliamentary delegation from eighteen
10 twenty-five or twenty-three.
The most conspicuous two features OF
to-day's electoral returns have been the
continued reports OF Social Democratic
gains and Richterist lossec. Early this
morning most OF the news still came
from the city constituencies, and the list
OF opposition deputies grew rapidly. The
dispatches from agricultural districts,
however. revealed the other side OF the
page. From all that can now be asccr-
tained ii IS reasonably safe TO conclude
that the Government certainly has lost
nothing by the dissolution, and probably
has won something.
At 10 o'clock this evening the returns
may be summarized as follows In the
80 districts from which reports had been
received: Eighty-hve deputies had been
elected. In the remaining 80 new ballots
will be necessary. OF the So deputies
elected 80 will vote with the Government.

I'm the new ballots reported will be proba-

and Radical Unionists.
Several small election riots are reported
to-day from the provinces. In Strass-
burg last evening. shortly after the pom
was announced about 1000 Socialists be-
gan parading the streets and shouting

Gratis who attacked the police station.
In Gutenberg. Silesa, the Socialists
rioted throught the streets The police
dispersed them with drawn sabres. and

police arrested Herr Landauer, an An
