O'Clock This Morning.

fBy Anglo-American cable TO tho Dispatch.l
BERLIN. June 1.-THE two most con-
splcuous features of the days electoral re-
turns have been the continued reports of
Social Democratic gains and Richterist
losses. Early this morning most Of the
news still came from city constituencies
and the list of opposition deputies grew
rapidly. This afternoon, however. dis
patches from agricultural districts reveal
ed the other side of the page. From oil
that can now be ascertained it is reasona-
bly, safe to conclude that the government
certainly has lost nothing by the dissolu-
ton and probably has won something.
TIE FIGURES.
At 10 o'clock this evening the returns
may be summarized as follows: In the 1870
districts from which reports had been re-
ceived. eighty-fve deputies had been
elected. In the remaining nlnety-fve new
ballots will be necessary. OF the eighty
five deputies elected thirty-six will vote
with the government, forty-nne against
it. The parties siding with the govern
ment had lost three seats TO the opposl-
tion: tho parties working against the
government had evened matters by losing
the same number OF seats to friends OF the
army bill.
The Conservatives had elected II depu-
ties: the Social Democrats, %: the Cleri-
Gals, 2O tho Radical Unionists, 1; the
Free Conservatives, 4 the Poles. 8; the

The Conservatives bad won two seats
formerly held by the Free Conservatives.
The Social Democrats had gained three
seats from the kIchterists and one from
the Conservatives. The Lieber Clericals
had gained one from the Government
Clericals and had lost one to them. The
