RUSSIAN ELECTION RETURNS.
Total Number of Parliament Members
Up to 486.

st. Petersburg, February 2S.-The re-
turns received today from Vyatka prov
ince and the city of LODI bring the total
number of members of parliament-elect
up to 1856, divided as follows: Monarchsts
30, octoberists and moderates Sc. Polish
nationalists 43, progressives 20, constitu-
tional democrats, their adherents, 81; left
party 1885, indefinites 49,
Among the members of the left party
are SO social democrats, q social revolu-
tionists and 81 members of the group of
toll, A radicals and l constitutional demo-
crat, who will vote with the left.
The constitutional democrats claim they
have enough of the unclassified lefts to
swell their numbers to 10S, and they hope
with the assistance of the Poles and other
moderates to form a group of 175 or 200.
They also count on the support of 36 &C.
toberists against radical proposals. The
radicals, however, are showing a good
spirit.
The chief interest Is concentrated in the
budget and the question of a responsible
ministry The fanaticism of the extreme
reaetionists is believed to offer the great
est danger of an early dissolution of
parliament.

day declared that in many sections of
the country the gen armie We're ut

his home.
NJ. Berry, conservative, in describing
the deplorable condition of Paris gave a
large list of murders committed in the
streets of the capital since January /.

similar to the regional brgades which
were being formed in the country, to
cope with the marauders.
