national liberals. nine censFists In favor OF
the bill, three Riohtsrists. four volksparsei,
thirteen Poles. six Alsatians, three anti
semisics and three Wilde. with 1sO ys-bsl-
lots nsessas'y. An analysis Of ths r.
ballots shows that the social democrats and
the national liberals will figure chiefly in
them. with the RisAtsrists and centrists q
long way behind. The defeat Of the
Il .chts'i lists appears 10 be irFssEeivabls.
But the Berlin FrsisinniGs Zeitung finds
oomfsrt In predicting that the ultimate
poll sf that party, combined with the
volkspaftoi. centrists and socialists will
form Al overwhelming plsbiseits against
the army bill and the Husns compromise.

eighty sooialists will stand in the coming

credit them with securing twsnty-six more

the factions favorable to the bill to unite
against the richterists, tho social democrats
and the olsricals III the bye elections which
will be held about ons week from to-mor
row. SECOND ballots are necessary, it il
estimated. in almost 200 districta or
thir ty-four districts from which figures
bearing on the second ballot have been re-
celved it appears certain the clericals will
win twenty five; the socialist democrats
two; the national liberals. conservatives
and agrarians six and the partioularists
one. The radical unionists expected to gain
several more seats.
Report from constituencies give evidence
of the collapse of EuRen Richter's radical
party. No dispatch has been received to
indicate that the Riehterists carried q sin

ton.
Ahlwardt and Goseksl, The most blatant
members OF the anti-semite group. are al
resdy returned. The opposition clsricals
will return to Berlin probably with nearly
LOO deputies. The government clerical
agrarian movement shows new evidences Of
success. the conservatives and free con-
aervatives, as expected, suffering no losses.
The social democrats are still triumphant
at the expense of the Richter radicals.
