The Election.

St Petersburg, Feb.-SecOnd degree
elections of peasants and the smaller
land owners were held Saturday in
twenty-one provinces. Partial re-
turns show as had been anticipated,
a pronounced swing to the left from
the officially announced results of the
first elections. A considerable pro-
portion of the successful candidates
are social Democrats and revolution
lists. Many so-called Moderates and
Independents cast of their cloak and
came out in their true colors in favor
of the opposition. IN several govern
ments, however, notably Volhymia,
the elections apparently were carried
by Conservatives and peasants. The
peasants chosen at this stage will elect
peasant delegations to the provincial
electoral assemblies and the repre-
scntatives of the petty proprietors
will confer with owners of large es
tates and elect landowners for the
same bodies. The urban elections ON
several provinces were carried by the
constitutional Democrats.

Constantinople. Feb.-The sultan
examine into the charges against
Fehmi Pasha, chief of the secret pO-
lice of the palace, and a great conf
dant and favorite of the sultan, who,
it is alleged by the German embassy,
recently caused seizure of ships
cargo destined for Hamburg. Mean
while, the proprietor of a forest near
Midiah, on the Black Sea. has taken
refuge in the German embassy for
sEotection against Fehmi Pasha. He
sIas recently detained as a prisoner for
a fortnight by Fehmi Pasha, who fore
ed him by frequent beatings to sign
a document agreeing to pay him 20
per cent of the income of his forest
industry 1t is said that Fehmi Pasha
in this way obtained the cargo of
timber which is the subject of dis
pute. A dispatch from Constantine
pie January 20 said that Fehmi Pasha
had come into serious conflict with
the German embassy, owing to his
causing the seizure of a ships cargo
destined for Hamburg. The sultan
tried to pacify the embassy officials
by ordering the immediate release of
the cargo, but Germany, in a forcible
note demanded the punishment of
Fehmi Pasha, pointing out that in the
step taken he was guilty Of an infrac-
ton of the penal code rendering him
liable for life Imprisonment.
