New York, March "a special to the
Herald from Valparaiso says; While the
returns of the congressional and municipal
elections are yet quite incomplete, 1t is
known that the conservatives. who made
a brave fight. were severely disciplined.
The party. which really gained ground in
the elections and obtained several new
seats In congress. was the allied liberal
and democratic faction composed largely
OF adherents of the late President Palma
cedo. The party also secured strong
representation throughout tho republic in
municipal boards.
The conservatives declare that they are
satisfied with the result. but their Giagrin
is shown in many ways.
The government has been accorded great
praise for the prudent manner In which
it acted in preserving order.
