LATE RETURNS MORE FAVORABLE.

They Give Promise That the Raiser Will Secure the Hacking of the Reichstag, Notwithstanding the Enor-, morn Socialistic Vote.

LATEST ELECTION RETURNS. BERLIN, June 17.—At 2 o'clock a. M. returns had been received from 220 out of 897 electoral districts. In all ninetyeight candidates havo been eleoted in 182 second ballots will be necessary. The national liberals, conservatives and clericals are holding their own. The Richter radicals remain very far behind. Of the ninety-eight deputies already elected forty-two are counted for the bill and fifty-six against it. Since the reports received up to 10 o'clock were sent out the dispatches have shown that the government has gained two more new scats and has lost one more old one. From all that can be ascertained it is reasonably safe to conclude that the government ccrtalnly lost nothing by the dissolution and probably has won a little.

Itlchter Men Left Out.

Not one immediate supporter of Eugene Richter, tho anti-government radical, has been elected. The conservatives have won two seats formerly held by free conservatives. The social democrats have gained three seats from Richteristi and one from the free conservatives. The Licber clericals have gained one from the government clericals and have lost one to them. The radical unionists have elected one deputy who voted against the army bill, but will vote for it in the next reichstag. The free conservatives have gained two seats and lost three. The democrats have gained one seat from the national liberals. The national liberals have lost three seats and gained two. The most interesting feature in the new ballots reported until now will be probably the gains of the social democrats and radical unionists.

Keturna from the Cities.

The revised lists of the Berlin polls show that the radical vote fell from 75,000 to 62,065, while the social democratic vote increased from 120,317 to 150,977. The vote of the conservatives and anti-semite cartel increased from 34,098 to 48,134. Complete returns from the second division of Munich show that George von Vollmar, the victorious leader of the south German democrats, polled 15,289 votes. In Strassburg August Bebel, social democrat, polled 0,206 votes, against 6,981 for Dr. Petri, his national liberal opponent. In Glauchau Ignaz Auer, social democrat, polled 14,979 votes. "Cannon King" lCrupp in Essen, who will go through a new ballot with Horr Stoetzel, his clerical opponent, received 19,487 votes. Stoetzel received 19,447.

Riots in the Provinces.

.Several small election riots are reported from the provinces. In Strasburg Thursday evening, shortly after tho poll was announced, about 2,000 socialists began parading the streets and shouting for thoir candidate, August Bebel. They refused"to disperse when the police attacked them and many cheered for France. The military eventually broke up the procession and arrested eight men. Nobody was injured. In Reutlingen, Wurtemburg, the police arrested many social democrats who attacked the police station.

Tho Result In Berlin.

The olection so far as Berlin is concerned ct*i be considered almost a complete triumph for the socialist party." Not only have their votes enormously increased since the last elections, but the proportion of votes between the radicals and the social democrats is such that except in one ward the radicals practically have no chance in the second ballots. In Berlin it is estimated that nearly 80 per cent, of the electors recorded their votes, and out of a total of 374,000 registered, tho socialists obtained 152,000, an increase of nearly one-fifth over the election of 1890.

Although in the provinces the socialists were not so uniformly successful as in Berlin, their returns arc eminently satisfactory to them and the results of second ballots will undoubtedly mean, as predicted, a great accession to the socialist strength in the reichstag.

GOULD'S MILLIONS.

Proceedings to Enforce Full Payment of the Inheritance Tax. ALBANY, N. Y., June 17.—Comptroller Campbell has engaged Senator David B. Hill and Benjamin R. Dos Passes, of New York, as the state's counsel to defend, before Surrogate Ransom, of New York city, and in the higher courts, the claim of the state to $750,000 as a tax under the collateral inheritance tax law from the estate of Jay Gauld. The Gould estate has paid in $500,000 to Comptroller Myers, of New York city, but disputes the correctness of the state's valuation of Jay Gould's stocks, and also the right of the state to tax 15,000,000 which Jay Oould bequeathed to George Gould for "services," claiming that it was in payment of a debt and not a gift.

Outlaw Roper Caught.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June 17.—Jesse B. Roper, the outlaw who murdered Sheriff A1 Bylcr, of Baxter county, last June, was captured Thursday at Muskogee, I. T., by Deputy Marshal Pettigrmv. There is a reward of $1,500 for his delivery to the Baxter county authorities. Roper will be brought to Baxter county, and as public feeling is very intense mob violence is feared.

Kilted ID Self-Defense.

ST. LOUIS, MO., June 17.—Charles White, alias "The Bear," a notorious negro thief and ex-convict, was shot through the heart and Instantly killed Thursday evening by liart Davis, first mate on the steamer Benton. White made an assault with a club on Davis, when the latter shot him.

BUSINESS REVIEW.

Effects of the Prevailing Financial Stria. genoy—Condition of Trade. NEW YOBH, June 17.—The weekly review of trade says: "Concerted action 'by the banks of New York has ohanged the situation materially. More failures and a tremendous drain of money to tho west had such offeot here that the banks were unanimous in deciding upon the Issue of clearing house certificates. Much Increased accommodations for the business community are expected to result and doubtless will, unless speculation Is stimulated to absorb all the increase in available resources through undue preference for marketable securitities over other assets. The weakness of banks at many western points continues. The widespread stringency is having a serious effect upon merchants and manufacturers who are In no way concerned with speculative operations. "A very sharp fall in foreign exchange removes the chance of gold export at present, tut it Is due to foreign purchases of securities rather than to a Ohange in trade balancos. Exports In two weeks of June, it is true, are but 98,700,000, or 16 per cent of last year's, and imports show a small decrease in place of the enormous lnorease reported for monthB, but balances are still adverse and likely to be for some time. "The decline in prices has led to some increase in the foretgn demand for products, but has been followed during thejast week by an advance of inort than a cent in wheat, with sales of only 27,000,000 bushels 2% cents in corn and 8-16 of a cent in cotton, with sales of 900,000 bales. Pork has fallen 50 cents, oats cent, coffee oent and oil a cent, but any material increase in exports at this season must come from marketing the surplus of cotton and wheat carried over, and this the advance in prices tends to prevent "Reports from other cities nearly all show tight money and slow collections. Trade at Cleveland Is fairly good and at Cincinnati quiet At Detroit trade Is quiet and credits closely scanned, and at Indianapolis there is a better feeling. Chicago reports an .easier financial situation, but western demands are urgent collections very slow, speculation limited in volume, building 60 per oent smaller than last year, wholesale trade fairly satisfactory and retail trade improved. Milwaukee reports confidence slowly returning. At St. Paul excellent crop prospects make a more hopeful feeling and at Omaha trade is good, at Kansas City fair, at St Joseph fair. At St Louis trade is beyond anticipations. At all southern points trade is slow and quiet

A CABINET CONFERENCE.

At Friday's Meeting Many Important Topics Were Discussed. WASHINGTON, June 17.—At the meeting of tlie cabinet Friday, which r. Cleveland attended' in spite of his rheumatism, there was a general discussion of Samoan affairs, tho situation in Honolulu and financial matters. Increase in gold is giving the administration much comfort,and it is believed that the demands for currency in the south and west will bring gold out of places where it has been hoarded, while the indications are that the exportation of gold is not likely to continue as heavy as heretofore. With regard to Samoa the administration feels that this country should be represented by a naval vessel there, now that another crisis in Samoan affairs is imminent. Orders will be given to have an American vessel at Samoa, in addition to the German cruiser already at Apia.

Matron Reagan's Story of the Quarrel Between Lizzie and Emma Denied by the Latter and Several Other

Witnesses. * * *

THE DEFENSE RESTS.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass., June 17.—The defense in the Borden trial rested their case at 3:15 Friday afternoon.

Sarah R. Hart testified to seeing a young man standing in front of the Borden residence on the morning of the murder. Charles S. Sawyer said he guarded a portion of the Borden home just after the discovery of the bodies. Was close to Miss Lizzie all the time, but saw no signs of blood on her head, hair, hands or dress. John J. Muntling, a reporter, said he asked Matron Reagan about the truth of the published story of the famous "give-away'' interview between the Borden sisters. Mrs. Reagan told him there was nothing in it. Thomas F. Hickey, another reporter, gave evidence of a similar character.

On the same subject Mary E. Brigham testified that Matron Reagan said about the story: "It is all a lie from beginning to end. I was willing to sign that paper, but the marshal would not let me."

Emma Denies It.

Miss Emma Borden was next called. She denied absolutely the "You-gave-me-away" story, and swore no quarrel took place between the sisters in Matron Reagan's room. Mr. Knowlton cross-examined with reference to family relations.

Emma testified that the father's gift of the house to their stepmother made trouble between Lizzie and her stepmother, and Lizzie ceased to call her "mother" and called her Mrs. Borden, but for two or three years before the murder the relations between Lizzie and Mrs. Borden were entirely cordial.

The Defense Rests.

It was just 3:15 when ex-Gov. Robinson said: "The defense rests." Mr. Moody asked for fifteen minutes in which to prepare the rebuttal, which the court granted. At 3:45 the jury returned to the court room.

Marshall Hilliard was the first witness called in rebuttal. He was asked as to the quarrel in the matron's room. He said: "I saw Mrs. Reagan about it. Mrs Rreagan and Rev. Buck entered the office. She handed me the paper and said she was willing to sign it. I said to her: 'If you do so, you do so in direct violation of my orders.' I told her if she had anything to say she had better say it in court."

Justice Mason addressed the jury, telling them not to form an opinion until they had heard the whole case. Then an adjournment was had until Monday morning at 9 o'clock.

VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S JURY.

Contractors Held Responsible for What I* Termed "The Shooting of Defenseless Men"—Gov. Altgeld Cousures the Sheriffs.

r*5_E3 THE VERDICT. CHICAGO, June 17.—At Lemont the following verdict was returned by the coroner's jury, which has been investigating the shooting of George ICiskia at Smith's camp on June 9: "Wc find that George lcinkla came to his death from shock and hemorrhage caused by a gunshot wound intiictcd by an unknown man, June 9, on the banks of the Illinois & Michigan canal, in Will county, very near tho Cook county lino. Wo recommcnd that the unknown man be apprehended and held until released by due courso of law. We also further recommend that Contractors Locker, Jackson and Malier be censured for shooting defenseless men without oausc or warrant of law."

Held Responsible for Kluga's Death. The verdict caused a sensation, but not more than the verdict in the inquest held later .upon John Kluga, the section hand shot at the same fight, and who died Thursday. The jury brought in a verdict holding Contractor C. H. Locltcr and the foreman, J. A. Bibb, responsible for the death of the man. The majority of the citizens are greatly pleased with both verdicts.

Sheriffs Censured*

SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 17.—Gov. Altgeld sent a stirring message to the legislature in regard to the Lemont strike and giving the facts about the sending of troops to the scene. After giving the gist of tlie telegraijis received from tlie sheriffs of Cook, Will and Du Page counties in regard to tlie trouble, the governor said that he was astonished to learn that the telegrams sent by the sheriffs of Will, Du Page and Cook counties calling for troops were absolute misstatements of tho facts. From all that lie could learn about the threatened trouble over 14 miles of territory the sheriff of Cook county has but three deputies, the sheriff of Du Pago county none, and the sheriff of Will five in the morning and seventeen afr night, yet they sent telegrams urging the calling out of the troops. Ho continues: "It was very apparent to mo after arriving there that had tlie sheriffs made even moderate etTorts to- enforce the law and proteot Hfe and property by calling on special deputies they would have had no trouble at all: that Ins^adof there being at one time 5,000 people there, rioters and all, It was doubtful whether there had been at any time as many as 1,000 people seen there, and not ten of those could be charged with rioting or violating the law and that In fact there w»s no real ground for ordering out the troops. "If tno law does not already make the sheriff and his deputies liable for falling to make a proper effort to swear In special deputies when it is necessary to protcct life and property, then the law should bo so amended as to hold them responsible."

Orovcr Said to Be Gaining Flesh. WASHINGTON, Juno 17.—The Post says: "The president Is steadily gaining in avoirdupois. His increased weight has begun to be inconvenient. The effort of walking has become a burden and Mr. Cleveland finds himself forced to forego much of his customary exercise. This is a source of keen regret to him, and in order to reduce his size the chief executive is quietly pursuing the Banting system. Two meals a day is now all that he allows himself—a light breakfast and dinner with simple meats and spring vegetables."

Trade Balance Against Di.

WASHINGTON, June 17.—The total value of exports of merchandise from the United States during the twelve months ended May 81, 1893, was $H48,373, 845 and during the corresponding period of the preceding year $1,022,984,545, a decrease of $174,610,700.
