Their Candidates.
BERLIN. June i6.--Yestcrlay's election
as far rs berlin Is concerned. can be con.
sidered as almost complete triumph for
the socialist party. Not only have their
votes enormously increased since tho last
election, but the proportion Of votes be-

Gratis 10 such, except In one ward, that the
radicals practically have no chance in the
second ballots. In Berlin Il is estimated
that nearly 81 per cont. OF the electors re-
corded their votes. Out OF . total Of 314.-
0D) registered, the socialists obtained 49,
$40, an increase of nearly one-iifth over
the election of 1892. Although in the pro-
yinces the socialists were not SO uniformly
successful as in Berlin, yet the returns
are eminently satisfactory to them, aud
the results OF tho second ballots
will undoubtedly mean as predicted,
great accessions to the socialist strength
In the reichstas.
The only unfair maneuver which might
be described as hit below the belt at tho
government was tho action OF tho Kreur

SOCIALIST GAINS.

lation this evening Of the numerical rela-
ton OF the parties, as indicated by the 70.

government parties have lost apparently
four seats. but made up for the loss by In
creasing chances In second ballots and by
winning three seats formerly held by the
opposition.
The free conservatives have apparently
q prospect of swelling their parliamentary
delegation from ~ TO % or %.
