ORDERLY IN THE MAIN.
Rerln. June 16.-At , o'clock this morning re-
turns from seventy districts indicate that thirty
six have been carried by parties opposed to the
ARMY bill fifteen have been carried for the par
ties favOrins the bill, and nineteen are in doubt
,stween The Government and the Opposition par
ties with the chances in the majority Of them
strongly in favor Of the Government. The Gov
eminent parties have lost three OF their former
ssats in the Rcichstag, two to the Richter party,
or the Social Democrats, the second ballots shall
decide, and one 10 South German Democrat.
The Government has won one seat IRON the Oppo
sition The Social Democrats have won
TWO seats. besides having secured
pany chances for the new victories in the second
ballot a curious feature OF their two victories
in new fields is that they won at the expense
of the Richter Radicals, also enemies OF the Army
bill, and not expected, at the expense
of the National Liberals, the friends of the bill
Although the Social Democratic gains un-
doub,edly enormous, they Will prove large
probably The reports 80 far have indicated.
The returns from the cities come in first, and
it is in the cities that tie Social Democratic
candidates always run best.
The police of this c,ty closed up Socialist meet
ings az the Germania Hall, the Book Brewery,
the Tivoli. the Concordia. the ENsium and the
Wedding Hall, owing Overcrowt;ing. The
crowds poured cheering into the streets, where
they We're quickly dispersed by mounted police.
During the day the Socialists distributed jO0,-
900 handbs here. They spent $4,000 marks in
the fifth division alone the largest sum ever eX-
pended BY single party in Berlin constituency
The Conservatives and the Anti-Scmites also
worked hard.
The Socialist vote in Berlin foots up 10000 over
Ln lists haX
successful in HAMBURG and Altoona. Altogether the
vote promiscs to be heavy The women rendered
great assistance in the Socialist canvass. Many
university students canvassed for the Conservative
candidates In spite of tremendous eNertlons the
United Conservatives and Ant->emitcs have lost
1000 votes as compared with the figures OF 1891,
and the Radicals have lost 10000 votes. 1T is
stated that the Socialists are likely TO win three
out of -four of the reballots against the Radlc1ls
In Berlin not single candidate pledged 70
support the Army bill has gained even the barren
honor of a reballot. The prospects Of Govern-
ment majority appear 10 be vanishing. Konghiv
speaking, the Socialist vote shows great In
crease everywhere. The Radical vote has
diminished heavily, chiefly, it would seem' ne-
cause the better class OF the Radical party Vo'eu
for the Anti-Semitic candidates.
Not 10 per cent of the vote cast in Berlin was
given in favor of the Army bill. Seldom mas tne
city spoken in such emphatic tones. Inc pio-
vincial returns appear 10 be equally emphauc
in the same direction. The great success OF 'he
Social Democrats has caused profound sel!s"''oi'
The day was one of tropical heat in all parts
of the Empire. In Berlin the pavemen's nave
been scorching. Apparently the election has 'efh
q notably quiet -cne.r In Berlin there has tech
an absence of all excitement The wealthler
classes seemed to be apathetic as to the outcome
among the voters Of the lower classes, had the
troops and reserve police kept in their oarracks
In readiness to repress any outbreak
