SECOND BALLOT CANDIDATES.

lots there will be 10 Poles, 50 conserva-
tives, Q agrarians, z free conservatives, 72
national liberals, 80 clericals, ~ social
democrats, II radical unionists, 80 Riu&-
terists, 10 anti-Semite and S Guelphs
AS was expected, the latest returns
have increased steadily the list of men,
bers upon whom the government can rely
for support.
While the victories of the social demo-
Gratis have been regarded with alarm,
their immediate effect upon the fate of
the army bill will be more than Offset by
the losses by the Richter radicals.
After four hours in conference yester-
day afternoon the ministers, who had met
the chancellor to discuss the results of
the election, decided, that in view of the
recent returns, it would be superfuous
and inexpedient to issue an appeal to the
country before the second ballots next
Friday. Several ministers are confident
that by means of a conservative, free con-
seryative and national liberal cartel they
can secure large number of seats at the
second ballots from the Richterists and
clericals. If these expectations be real
lied, not only will the government open
the Reichstag with almost half the men,
bers ON its side, but also will be enabled
at the final poll to keep the social demo-
Gratis down to total of forty or forty-hve
seats.
That the ministerial expectations of
general combination against the socialists
are not entirely ungrounded is shown
by the action of the clerical leaders. I'm
mediately after the election they sent out
a circular letter to the constituencies to
admonish Catholic voters that under no
circumstances should they vote for the
army bill candidates in the bye-elections.
Since then the socialists scare has be-
come so general that the leaders have re-
voked their first letter and have sent out
another calculated to solidify the Cath
olic vote against the democratic candi-
dates in cases where such a course will
lead to the election of conservative or
national liberal.
The Germania, the organ of the North
German clericals, and several other Cath
olic dailies are now urging Catholics in
constituencies contested by the social
democrats to ignore the army bill issue
and vote solidly for the conservatives,
free conservatives or national liberals.
Where sociahstic successes are in ques
tion, says the Germania, the Catholic
voter must subordinate all other duties to
the duty of doing his best to prevent
them. Danger of more social democratic
triumphs must be obviated at any cost.
Spectators on the bourse took san
guine view of the governments prospects
sian stocks, which weakened on Friday,
were strong yesterday upon reports that
the government would have small ma
jority at the opening of the Reichstag.
Semioff1cial information that the chan
cellor would abandon his latest proposals
for taxes on bourse operations and spirit
uous liquors, helped strengthen prices.
FATE OF CONSPICUOUS CANDIDATES.
Official returns from many constituent
cies have been received, and will be pub
1ished tomorrow. They contain much in
teresting information as to the votes
polled by conspicuous candidates.
Count Herbert Bismarck, who was
elected by the agrarians in the Jerichow
district, received II ,669 votes to 6,S4S cast
for Ferdinand Woellmer (radicaD, who
was the last member for the district.
Glocke, the social democratic candidate,
received 4,341 votes. Count Herbert's
majority over all, therefore, was 4S0. He
polled the full strength of the conserva-
tive vote, which, on the first ballot in 1890
was II , 1872 The radical vote in 1890 was
9,564, and the socialist vote 2,487.
THE BILL Will. BE PASSED.
London, June 10, 2 a. m.-The Berlin
correspondent of the Daily News says:
'"There cannot be the slightest doubt that
the army bill will be passed with good
majority" The Standards Berlin cor
respondent expresses the same opinion,
somewhat less emphatically.
