was true that he had been a deserter. but that he
had been pardoncd by the President and had
served faithfully until the end Of the war. The
pension authorities answered In turn that II no
had pardon he must produce II. as the records
bore no evidence OF the existence OF such docu

Outcome of the German Elections

outcome oi the ucTIuah Elections.
With two exceptions, second ballotings
have been held in every electoral dis
trict of the German Empire which failed
to choose members of the Reichstag on
the first ballot. We are now able to de-
fine with close approach to certainty
the composition Of the neA Chamber, al
though the cabled returns are still to
some extent conflicting. The one strik-
ing and indisputable fact is the growth
of the Socialist party. The aggregate
popular vote cast for it's candidates on
the first ballot turns out to have ex-
ceeded materially the first estimates,
being upward of three millions, or about
4S per cent. larger than the popular vote
commanded by the Socialists at the last
general election. The cabled returns
agree in giving them 81 seats in the new
Reichstag, which is 20 more than they
had in the last As we formerly pointed
out, if seats were distributed in pro-
portion to population, as according
to the organic law of the Empire they
should be, the Socialists would consti-

members, will have in the present Cham
Der, according to one report, only lOl,
and, according to another, but 90. The
National-Liberals, who numbered 81,
have, according to one report gained a
seat, and, according to another, lost one.
The Conservatives proper occupied so
seats in the last Reichstag and the So
called Free Conservatives 20. The total
is unchanged, although the Conserva-
tives proper have gained one, and the
Free Conservatives have lost one seat.
In the last Chamber. the Radical or
