Germany's Army Bill Cannot Possibly Be
Adopted.
PRESENT PLANS OF TIE MINISTRY
Its Efforts viii Now BE Confined to Eject
ing Secret Combinations Against the
Socialists-Appenl to Catholic
Voters of the Empire.

BERLIN June 1s.-The election returns
were virtually complete at o'clock this
afternoon. The reports from Isl districts
were then lacking. The returns may neces-
state a few alterations but they will be
trivial. The candidates elected number 2l5.
OF these, 10l will vote for the army bill; ia
against it.
In the following list by parties the anti
Semitic conservatives are included with the
onsetvatives and the independents are
treated as members of the parties with
which they affiliated in the last Reichstag.
Lieber clericals, 6S social democrats, 20;
conservatives and agrarians, "A national lib
erals, IS; radical unionsts who favor the
bill 4; Poles, l2; free conservatives, 10; cler-
icals favorable to the bill, IL; Alsatians, z;
| south German democrats, 4; anti-Semites, 3
| 1.-TWO of them favoring the billy; Bavarian
| agrarians, 2; Guelphs, l Danes, l BaVarian
separatists, l 4; Richterists, none.
Among the candidates in the Isl new bal
| lots there will be 10 Poles, SO conservatives,
| agrarians, Z free conservatives, ~ national
| liberals, 30 clericals, Il social democrats, IL
| radical unionists, 35 Richterists, 16 anti
! Semites and 3 GuelphS.
AS was expected the latest returns have
| increased steadily the list of members upon
! whom the government can rely for support.
| While the victories of the social democrats
| have been regarded with alarm, their i'm
| mediate effect upon the fate of the army bill
will be more than Offset by the losses Of the
| Richter radicals.
| Plans of the Ministry.
After four hours in conference yesterday
| afternoon the ministers who had met to dis
| cuss the results of the election decided that
| in view of the recent results it would be
superfuous to issue an appeal to the country
before the second ballots. On F'ridayseveral
ministers favored this mode of arousing the
voters to support the government candidates,
| but yesterday only two of them were still in
favor of the plan The great majority of the
ministers are confident that by means of free
conservatives and national liberals they can
secure number of seats at the second bal
lots from the Richtersts and clericalS.
They depend upon the general alarm eX-
cited by the social democratic victories to
drive clericals and opposition clericals into
the government camp in constituencies
where the contests are between conserva-
tives national liberal candidates and
socialists. Ii these expectations be realized,
| not only will the government open the
Reichstag with almost half the members on
its side, but also will be enabled at the final
| poll to keep the social democrats down to a
total Of forty or forty-tive votes.
Combining Against the Socialists.
The ministerial expectations of a general
com binaton against the socialists are en-
| tirely under ground, as shown by the action
of the clerical leaders. Immediately after the
election they sent out circular letter to the
constituencies to admonish Catholic voters
that under no circumstances should they
vote for army bill candidates in the by-elec-
tions. Since then the socialists have be-
come so great that the leaders have revoked
their first letter and have sent out another
calculated to solidify the Catholic vote
against the social democratic candidates,
even in cases where such q course Will lead
to the election of a conservative or natlona
liberal.
The Germania, organ of the north German
clericals, and several other Catholic dailies
are now urging the Catholics in constituen
) cies contested by social democrats to ignore
| the army bill and vote Solidly for conserva
tives, free conservatives or national liberals
| Where socialist successes are in question
says the Germana the Catholic voter mus
subordinate all other duties to the duty o
doing his best to prevent them. The DANCE
l of more social democratic triumphs must b.
D obviatcd at any cost.
