Formed a Compact.

Formed a compact.
BERLIN, June 1s.-Eugene Richter,
leader of the opposition Radicals, has
agreed formally with August BebeI and
Wilhelm Liebknecht, leaders of the
Social Democrats in second ballots, all
the Radical votes he can control in con-
stituencies where the contests will be be-
tween Social Democrats and candidates
favoring the Army bill. In return,
Liebknecht and Liebelllwill order Social
Democrat voters to support the Richter
lists in constituencies where the latter
contests seats with representatives of the
government parties.
The bitterness felt by government par
ties toward Richter is excessive. In
Hagen, which Richter represented in the
last reichstag and which recount gives
him the right to contest with Herr Breill,
Social Democrat, the National Liberals
say they will vote with the Socialists so
as to throw Richter out.
In Blanderen a complimentary vote OF
92S was cast for Prince Bismarck.
