nnd tho buienucrnlic system aic pulling
together to delay the official tcturns
of the election nnd to attenuate the hit
poitnnco of the successes of the Soclnl
isls at the polls. Lnst night an Inde
pendent and cntiicly reliable authority
gavo figmes showing that tltc Socialists
had actually elected twenty members
and lind a good prospect to capture
thirty more scats on tho second ballots.
Tho scml-ofllcial press iccortU to-day
the election of shtccn Socialists; other
papers say that nineteen Socialists arc
elected. Slight divergences such as
this in the lesult will not alter tho lead
ing and dominant fact that the Cattcl
combination Is destroyed.
The composition of the ltclchstag
will Intolvo almost evolutionary modi
fications. The most sanguine of Hit
Cnslcllnts do not expect that the second
ballots will make such n change in the
result as will seriously modify their de
feat. Tho supiemo question Is, how
far will the Socialists success ulti
mately go?
Thursday their total lecoul of votes
reached nearly one million nnd a half,
against a tccord of 77-1,128 iu tho elec
tion of 1887- No combination of their
opponents seems llkoly to head them
off on tho second ballot, and thus wo
have before us tho prospect of seeing
(hit ty-fl ve to forty Socialists seated in the
llclchstag. This party held eleven
seals iu the last Ilcichslag.
O rem tli or the Moioment,
Another lesult suggestive of the
inonth of tho popular movement is tho
leapncarauce of Hie " oiks Partel," or
Democrats so called. In the Ilcick
Mng of lb84 this parly held eleven
seats. It vanished completely in the
Pailinment of 1887, for, as it stood In
the bmder land, between tho German
Libeials and tho Socialists, its cffoits
became nbsoibcd lcspcctivcly in these.
It has now capttned thice scats and has
a fair piospecl of gaining eight on the
second ballot,
Tho position of tho German Liberals
is doubtful, though Hcrr Eugene Hick
ter pi edicts they will havo fifty scats.
They now havo thlrty-fl vc. As this pat ty
hi German politics the one that might
pioperly bo called the 'Liberal paity,
using that woul without qualification,
and nt it is onl inai I! y used in the dis
crimination of parties, this increase is
to be hoped foi. roundly, however,
the sticngth of this paity was much
gi cater.
The chief stiff cicr, hovrovcr, now
and prospectively, is tho National Lib
cial paity Tho paity ot Benniugscn
nnd Miquel, and the backbone of the
Cartel combination, it Is doomed lo 10
appenv in tho Reichstag with the cer
tain loss of thlity scats. In the last
Heichslag It had nincty-thicc scats.
Strength or the Opposition,
Taking the whole lesult together the
piospecl is thnt the opposition will
have 22 1 in tho liouso against 178 for
the Government groups. This opposi
tion v. ill be made up as follows: Cen
trists, orUltiamoiitains, 100; German
Liberals, or Libeials, properly speak
ing, 45; Socialists, 37; Volks paitci, oi
Democrats 7; Poles 11; Alsatian, pro
testers, 12; Guclphs and Danes together
12. Tills Is a very hetrogenous opposi
tion, held together by no devotion to a
common puiposc, but only by the nega
tive tie of objection, yet it Is bound to
give the go eminent some lively times
nnd to play n momenlous pnit in tho
history of Europe.
Some incidents of the contest nioso
strikingly notable that they are likely
(o figuic In any historical lecoul of
tho cnpiicis of selection. One of
ihcsc is tho defeat of Professor Vir
scliow, the famous and popular man of
science, and a distinguished Liberal,
lie was defeated by Janls7cwsM, a
journeyman bookbinder, and a Pole, a
vciy old man, and extremely poor,
who speaks biokcn Gciman, and yet
the Second District of Berlin put him
nt tho top of tho poll because ho has
been tho victim of repeated pcisccu
tions. Ilerr "Wocrmann, Prince Bis
marck's friend, a gieat ITaraburg ship
ownci nnd the can dldatc of the Na
tional Liberals, was defeated by Dlctz,
tho Socialist. This astonished tho So
cialists themselves. LTamburg is now
entirely in their hands.
The opposition pi ess comments
fieely upon the fact that, after tyrclvo
years of tho operation of the law for
tho suppicsslon of tho Socialists, tho
great populous centres of tho country
liavo become hot-beds of socialism. It
is argued thnt, since the law explies In
September next, tho Government must
abandon tho attempt to ropiess this
movement by legislation, or dissolve tho
Reichstag and appeal to tho nation on
this special Issue
Opinions or tho 1'iess,
Tho VoitltcJie Xeitung attributes tho
defeat of- tho Caitel, or Government
combination to tho increased buidcu of
taxation upon tho poor people, com
bined with tho recent imperial re
scripts. Tho Qermania holds that tho con
demuatlon of tho governuiont is lire
vocable, and that a dissolution nnd tho
election of a new Reichstag would only
conflim tho result. It says that, with
tho Socialist voto far beyond a million,
tho Ihnpcror Should separate himself
foicvcr fiom tho Opportunists, and cie
ato n body of aorlous social legislation.
Tho Krexa Zcitwg traces the dofeat
to tho abandonment of religious ideas
as tho basli of paity union, sad urges
the parties concerned for the innlntc
nanco of tho existing older of things to
combino for joint action on the second
ballots.
Tho Post and tho A'atlonat Zcititng
also uigo union, while tho Kolh Wee
man Oaxctte declines lo discuss the ic
suits until they aro complete.
The picss gcnorally, In so far as It
might give any rellcctlon of officlat
feeling, lcfrnlns fiom the attempt, but
tho Progiessionlst papers recur to their
piedlctlons that Trlnco lllsmaick will
Immediately resign tho prcsldoncy of
the Prussian Ministry, nnd that he will
be succeeded byllcirllocttloher.
OlllcliU Opinion.
Official opinion on this subject fnvois
the view that Illsmnick's position has
hem slieuglhcncd by the result of tho
election.
The Empcior was confident that tho
rescripts would check the unsuccessful
progress of tho Socialists, and ho Is con
sequently enraged at the discovery that
this was all Illusion. Tho officials of
the Chnncellcrle quote Hlsmark's saying
thnt "The rescripts would abstst the
Socmlisf candidates and could not
weaken them,"
It is thought likely, thcicfoie, that
tho Enipcior will return to the guid
ance of Prinsc lllsmaick. This at
tributes to him capacity to tako n
bioad'Hilndcd view. It is vciy difficult
for a small-minded-man lo admit in
the face of the woild that he has made
a great mistake.
T.ntest ltctiirnn.
At 0:15 to-night there arc some addi
tional paitlculars known of the election,
giving the lesult in 018 districts, and
including 11G districts wheic thcio was
no election. In the 202 districts for
which we thus have definite lcsults
they are as follows! Conservatives, 42;
Imperialists, 12; National Libeials, 11;
Centrists, 70; German Libeials, 11; So
cialists, 17; Tolcs, 10; Independents, 1;
Alsatians, 12; Volks parlci (Dcmocits),
3; Danes, 1.
Tho secondary ballots hi the above
11G districts will be contested by Cou
seivatives, 20; Imperialists, 19; Na
tional Liberals, 01; Centralists, 10;
German Liberals, 52; Socialists, 47;
Guclphs, 2; Poles, 4; Volks paity, 0;
anti-Semites, 2. The German Liberals
claim that their ictuins show that they
have to contest in supplementary elec
tions si.ty-two seats. As forty-six of
these nre against tho Uai tellers and
fouilccn against the Socialists, they aic
confident that thch paity will have in
the next Heichslag Mty-fHcto seventy
voles as agaiust tho last.
Jlithta's Journal, rcfeiring to tho
pioposal that all parties shnll coaIcscc
acainst the Socialists, wains the Pro
giossists, againsts false sympathy with
the Cartell party and says:
"Though tho Caitel majority destroyed
tho possibility of a majority faoriug an

15eiu,in, Feb. 22. Accoiding to a
lepoil in the Xachrh-hlen tho caily as
sembling of the labor conference is
assured. This repoitsays that ,Gieat
Britain, Fiance, Italy, Switzerland, Bel
gium, Holland, Austria-IIuugaiy,
Sweden nnd Norway have consented
to send delogatcs, while Ilussln has de
clined upon the giound that her indus
tries me confined to tho pioducts of
agriculture and forestry, and the United
States has declined on tho ground of
the very gieat diflcrenccs between the
condition of workingmen In Europe
and their condition in America. This
lcuott Is totally uutciiable. Of the
governments mentioned, Fiance, Eng
land and Swileilaud have asked for a
definite piogramme involving the scopo
of the inquiry. None of the others
have done moie than to formally ac
knowledge the icceptlon of the pro
posals. The Empeior Is pcisonally engaged
In drafting the piogramme, whlqh is to
I o submitted to the Court of State on
tho 20th. It is alieady dctcimincd that
the confeicnce will not touch tho sub
ject of the eight-hour agitation. Seven
suggestions received fiom tho Marquis
of Sallsbuiy indicate that it is tho in
tention of tho British Government to
send delegates, provided tho votes of
the confeienco shall not be understood
as binding the governments to anything
and that tho pioceediugs aro merely de
liberative, Tho Emperor insists that
ono feature of the progiamino shall bo
tho establishment of tiades unions under
official contiol. This would, of course,
bo Impossible in England, and it's
doubtful whether tho woiklngmcn of

the details lecclvtd to day it appears
that tho trouble at tho Kaia prison
originated In a "hunirer strike" in Au
gust, when tho women political pris
oncis tried to staivc themselves to
death to escape the brutalities of their
jailers.
All the women imprisoned thcic ab
stained fiom food for fourteen days.
Tho jailcis did not believe that they
would be able to keep up tho struggle.
At first they jccicd at tho women, then
tempted them with food, and then, find
ing this of no avail, threatened them.
AVhcn several of the women were at the
point of death fiom their voluntary ab
stinence fiom food the prison ofilcials

them lo lake nourishment.

The methods adopted, howcvci, wcic
lolcnl and licentious, aud the women
wcie compelled to nbandon their strike.
Abominable outrages followed, nnd
wcro of daily nnd houily oocurrence.
This state of affairs led Madame Sigida,
whose death b- Hogging has already
been announced i to ask foi an inter
view with the diicctor of tho prison In
hope of securing an nmelioiation of the
condition of the piisouciS. IIci re
quest was giantcd, but when she was
taken beforo him she found him abus
ive. It is said that in her exnspeiation
at bis nbiifo she called him a villain
and slapped his face.
It is not positively known, however,
what look place during the interview,
but whatevci did happen Madam
Sigida did notictuin tohcrcompanions.
She was taken fiom the director's
office and convex cd to the prison iu
which common oflcndcrs aic confined.

'threatening to Commit Suicide,
Two months elapsed after Ihcsc events
befoie the Adjuant Baion Korcll,
Goieinoi-Gencral of tho piovincc of
the Amour, instiucted the diicctor of
prisons that tho sccict edict of March,
1888, which oulcicd that political pris
oners should be treated by prison offi
cials In pieciscly tho same manner as
criminals condemned for common-law
offences, would be enforced, and
oulcicd the diicctois to notify the po
litical prisoners of both sexes that they
would be liable to corporato punish
ment if they violated certain of the
prison lcgulations.
The male ptlsoneis, foreseeing im
mediate danger, held a consultation
aud sent to the diicctor of tho prison a
petition that he would telcgiaph to the
Ministci of the Interior at SI. Pctcis
burg requesting him to suspend the
application of tho edict. The diicctor
refused lo pay any attention to their
petition, and " thoicupon the men
warned him that the (list flogging of a
political prisoner would bo the signal
for the others to commit suicido to
gether. Ono SI Mildred T.aslics.
Time days aftciwaid the llcutcnint
gcncial, Baion Koicfl, sent a special
older that Madamo Sigida be pun
ished according to tho icgulntious, and
tho oulcr was executed to the fullest
extent. Mndame Sigida was stripped,
and lccclvcd ono hundred lashes. She
w as carried on" bleeding and in an un
conscious condition, and her death
ensued fiom a lupturc oT the heart.
Her three companions committed sui
cide within an hour of tho time of hear
ing of Madamo Slgida's death. The
corpses of the foui women wcro burled
at the same time in tho couit-yaid of
the common offenders' prison. For
weeks a cordon of vigliants was so
closely maintained mound the prison
that nothing was known of what was
happening within,
Sinco tho sccict channel of Informa
tion has been ltopcncd it has been
learned that the men carried out their
thicat of suicide, They met together
and thlity of them shaicd what poison
they could obtain aud then wcut to their
cells to ilio. The quantity ot poison
which had been smuggled Into the
prison was not sufficient to kill quickly,
but in tho course of tho evening two
of those who had shaicd it Bobookov
andlColujny died. Their convulsions,
and the dead silence hich lclgned in
tho other cells, loused the attention of
thcguaids, and they Immediately sum

question.
"When tho llajr on tho dome on the
Capitol went down nt 0 o'clock on Fri
day evening the debate on tho Woild's
Fair ended, the lnst speech had been
made. This final woid was spoken by
Kcpiesentative Fnrquliar of IIufTnlo,
who had just Ihc minutes iu which to
address the final argument to the IIouso
in tho historic debate, llighl well did
he use bis time iu favor ot New York
City, condensing lu those few minutes
of vigorous speech the pith of all that
would be said in favot of the mctropo
lis of the New Woild.
There was no question but that
Chicago was slntcd nnd New York
discouraged nt tbo closing of the de
bate. The latter bad perceptibly lost
ground, losing no fewer than ten
votes, and her loss bad been Chica
go's gain. St, Louis nnd Washing
ton bad nppaicntly neither lost
nor gained, cither absolutely or com
paialivcly. The changes iu the situa
tion had been fiom New York to Chi
cago, the latter gaining ten ut the
boomer's oxpensc. Tho claims of the
vailous cities last night wcro about as

The situation elenred up foi New
Yoik yesterday with the nnival of a
big additional tlelcgntlon. A meeting
was held in Parlor I) of the Arlington,
which was presided over by James W.
Tappan.whobad presided over lhcpic.it
Cooper meeting at New York, at which
the compiomiso over tbo World's Fair
bill -was armed. William
Bcrii, of tbo Uiooklyn Standard

The meeting decided lo go a-booming,
nnd a-booming they went. They
divided up into squads of twos and
threes, and sinco tho meeting cvci3'
Congicssmannot known lobo favorable
to New Yoik was visited. The delega
tion was in high good humor in con
sequence. Last night at least one tan
gible lesult was reported. It was
said that I'cpi esenlali vc Morse of Massa
chusetts, who made a speech in the
House against holding any fnir at all.
agreed to vote for Now York. The
time up to tbo assembling of the House
to-moirovvvvill bo f-pent in much tho
same way.
Chlcngo MrikLix Cheerful.
Chicago was In high gleo last night and
she had a right to bo for she
was In tho bad and every
body admitted It without reservation, only
adding that tho "race Is not to the swift
nor tho bottle to tho stiong."
Chicago heeded not tho croaers; neither
did she relax her efforts. When General
George 15. Davis rapped for older at
tho meeting iu Tailor 7 ot Wil
lard's lust cenlng the parloi was
crowded. It was like the mcetlngdescribed
by Josh Hillings. lie said ho lectured to a
house so full that he had to leave his
cane outside the ball. So It was with
Farlor 7. Perhaps another Chlcagoau
could have jot In, but a persou ot no less
enthusiasm could hae prevailed. The
meeting Itself was enthusiastic and
hainionlous. Ihc airaugcmcnts made foi
work were very similar to those made bj
tho New York meeting. As one Chleagoan
modestly remarked:
"One Chleagoan Is equal k a delegation
from anj where else."
Just as tho meeting closed nnd
the doois were thrown opcu, tho voice
of a man so prosperous-looking that he
must bo n pork-packer, inquired plaint
ively: "Has any gentleman got on tho wiong
overcoatV"
The lesponso was lost lu the din.
Among the prosperous Chlcagoans wlio
will look down upon the pi uy to-morrow
aio Major Cregler nnd Shcilll Matson and
about five docn assorted citizens. Tho
Sheriff is big enough to be ono of tho tra
ditional "largo and respectablodelegatlon,"
the Sheriff being the large one.

trjlngto convince Mr. ntrgcrahl ol Chi

Tho only tangible etleet that had was to
lndueo Mr. Fitzgerald to set up the cigars.
When asked If St, Louis had sent her
Muor hue to meet tho Majors of Now

"No; but wo beat 'em on Govcrnois.
We havo tho Governor, thiee evGovornors

Confident of Washlueton's hiicnus,
The Washington headquarters w ere not
ablaio with light at any time,
Colonel Audeison being In attendance
on tho banquet ot the Gridiron
Club. Before going, however, ho as
sured his callers that everj thing was all
right, ond that Washington would surely
get there. He had nothing to 6ay
boyoud that, he said, aud had no
figures to give out Hq wa,s cojifjdeut from
what ho knew and from his Information
that tho fair would ccntuallj tomo to
Washington.
HeprcscntatUo JleComas also attended
the Gridiron banquet. Ho had nothing
new, but cxpiesscd confidence In Wash
ington's getting the fnlr.
Mr, Dcpnwn' Orlm Iiivltnllnn,
ChauncoyM. Dcpciv has rccelvod acaid
from Chicago dlsplajlug a coflln, skull nnd
cross-bones, a dagger, nnd olhcrscaiy and
evil-purposed emblems, Inviting him to a
meeting at 0 o'clock nt night, slnrp.
If ho attended ho would hlmsolf bo
the subject to bo discussed, nald .Mr. Dopcw.
No outwnrd evidence Is picscntcd tint he
attended, Speaking of tho fair, Mr, pepew
snld: "Ilcally I know nothlnc now. Wo of
New York aro not lighting nnjhody. Wo
hope, and oxpect, that New York will get
the fair; but, If wo can't have It, we want
11 held somen here."
Mr. Flower and Jlnj'oi Giant were light
ing cigars prcparntorj lo entering tho
former's rarrlngc.ln front of the Arlington.
The Major furnished the match and Mr.
Flower, the clgnr. The Major said and
Mr. Flower looked ncqulesencc; "Weaio
feeling quite hopeful now,"
llcprc6entntlo Pendleton, nt West Vlr
iclnla, who Is for Chicago, nald. "It may
turn around to Washington jet."
Colonel George It. Dai Is simply volcod
tbo Chicago delegation, when ho said: "Wo
feel very confident."
licpiescutatlio McCailhy of New York
said: "I've been In my room at woik all
ovenlng; am Just going up to the Arlington
now for news."
Dr. Hush of Chicago icinarked that tho
caso was beforo the urj-, but that the Jury
wasn't locked up.
Mr. llcldcu of New Yoik thought It was
n lery uuccilaln fight jet.
An Uncertain right.
Aud that Is Just what It Is. It Is iinj
Lodi'a fight now. Chicago has a long lead,
but the ono vote lacking Is sometimes tho
hardest of all to get. 11 must
not be forgotten that Mr. Mills
is loading a little body ol men dctei mined
to beat the whole business. lie claims
tltj-flc votes aud Is conceded about
thirty-five to forty In all tho estimates
woilh nn) tiling- No estimate made last
night will vary far from the onogiicn
above, which was carefully made by a closo
and unprejudiced observer. How tho vote
will vary alter the llrst ballot or so no man
may say.
A number of Congressmen will regard
themsches as nbsohed fiom theli pledges
oi Instructions after that aud vote thch
personal choice afterward. Herein lies
Washington's strength. 'Ihc leaders aro
apt to get into a deadlock and thus make It
ncccssarv to unite on this city or
glo up the project. Wash
ington will 6tnrt In with a cood
vote with a reasonable prospect ot becom
ing the second choice of cither Now York
or Chicago, as the case maj be.
To show tho feeling moused In some
qusrters. It Is said that somo of the
millionaires among tho Now Yorkers aro
ready to plcdgo themselves to pay tho
mllllou nnd a half the Government exhibit
will C06t rather than not gel tho fait.
How long the contest, which will begin
tomorrow, will last It is Impossible to
eaj Jfo one seemed to know, or
to he willing to predict. It may be
oi er In a daj-, or It maj bo prolonged for a
week. Tlic lsltlng delegations are likely
to stay It out, no matter how long It maj'
take.

Otis body of the drowned man nt the
inorguo on New .Icrfey uvenue. Th
body was been by n toloicd innn coin?
home from woik Friday evening. The
shadows wcic already lengthening ovet
the ninlnilous lints nnd the colored
man hurried lo the two policemen
who were near, nnd they, with the ai
tistnnco of two colored men and r bosil
got the body out. It tloatcd on its left
side and tho right firm nnd elbow stur-L
out of the blimy water. The half
bilck in the left tiousci's leg made the
body llont on its side. Il w ns 8 o'clock
at night befoie the bodj was stretched
on tlio vine table at the morgue
Yestculny Dr. Sthacffer, the Dcputy
Coronei, made nn autopsy and found
absolutely nothing, Fnve that the tnaa
was diowned, arid had been for well
nigh a month. The neck was not
broken, nor wero theie any maiksof
violence nbout tlio head &avo a dcnl
thnt Dr. Schncffcr .said was, beyond a
doubt, made by the body striking some
thing in the water after the man diet!
The clothes wcic such as n well-to do
mechanic would wear coaisc, but not
ragged. Tho hands and nuns to the el
bows, and the feet and low oi parts ot
the legs, wcie much less decomposed
than the rest of the body, duo piobably

Dr. SclincfTer'sdeseiiptionof themin.

about 130 pounds, hair short, black,
save gi ay about the temples, straight
and lalkcrftiiT, face feliai ed and a day's
irrovtth of beard when he died.
The police were given quite a st.ut
lat evening by tlio almost identification
of the body as that of Silcott, the dc
faulting cashici of the Sergcant-at-Aims
of the House A middle aged
gentleman nnd lady went to Police
Hembptaitcrs nnd said they wanted to
see the body. They wcic the father
and mother of the Capitol Hill gitl
Sllcolt'h son lan away with and ma
lied. They wcic accompanied lo the
moigue by a C'iiith leporler aud the
result of their inspection of the bexly
was slaitlimr.
They nic almost sure thai it is Silcott.
They interested themselves because Mrs
Silcott and bercliildicn have gone back
to her home in Ohio, and the,) are the
defaulter's ncai est lelatiiesheie. They
pay that If the defaulter wished lo re
turn to this city he miglit disguise him
self by shaviug off his beaid and dress
ing himself in the clothes of alaboier,
such us the innn found in tho sewer
outlet v.oie. The drow ned man is not
as tall by an inch oi so as Silcott is said
to be. Hut the positivene-s of the iden
tificntiou set the police n wondering
and though they pooh pooh the Idea
theie may be sometliiuc: m it The
gentleman said be was going to ban
some one else who knows Silcott look

at Ids disappearance. The fact that
the drowned man wns eliessed like a
laboicr would make it seem unlikely
that he is Mi. l'nbie, unless the clothes
were put on theiiclim of a possible
murder to pievent identification.
Au odd ciicumstanco Is that, while
