Loxpox, Oct. 20—A Berlin dispatch says: From the results of the electionsalready known, itmay be broadly sald that the urban populi- tion: have pretty well proncunced against Bis- 'seconoinie policy, but reports from the rural districts which have not yet been received may turn the tide. ‘The victory of the Progré ists in Berlin is complete, stthough the Con- servatives have gained much ground here since the last general election, which is siguiticant.

Six seata cy been gained by the Centre party. The Sec sionists and Progressists gained considerably. ‘The Free Conservatives are literally decimated. ‘Cheir lenders, Kardotl, Varnbubler, and Count Brankenburg are detented.

Arnim, who wag 60 severely treated by Bismarck, hus con- quered for the Progressists a district in Bran- denburg formerly held by tbe Conservatives. ALTOGETHE between twenty. and thirty Social Democrats potled a sufficient number of votes.to necessi- tate the holding of second ballots. It is not doubted that ut least half of these will be re- turned. Herr Bebel will again go to the poli in the second ballot in Dresden as well as in Ber- lin, Among those who have been reélected the be known names are Herr Lasker, Dr. Forek- enbeck, and Dr. Falk. Herr Benningsen, Cteri- cal, defeated Von Moltke at Essen, but tho lat- termay ba returned for Memel. Dr. Lucius, Minister of Agriculture, has apparently beea beaten by a Secessionist. THE MOST Tt KABLE FEATURE of the election Is the triumph of those Liberals who are specially obnoxious to Prince Bismarck. ‘Thus, Engene Richter at Hagen, obtained a ine- jority of 7,000, ana Carl Mayer, who had been bitterly persecuted by the Conservatives, gained a decided: victory at Stuttgart. Count Von Moltke is -mdisposed and contined to his room.

TRISH NEY THE OUTLOOK BETTER. Speeiul Cabie. Lonnons, Oct. 29.-Smatles’s special says: The Irish- outlook is decidedly better, Tne Land Court is overwhelmed with work, which datly increases.

Lospos, Oct. 29.—The speeches of Mr. Cham- berlain and Mr. Gladstone, at Liverpool and Knowsley respectively, bave not tended to the elucidation of the political controversy about Jreiand. Mr. Chamberlain frankly admitted that tho objects of the Lond League were orig- sand even praiseworthy,” and that only-since the *No-ltent” proclaination had ivbecome euilty of treasunable practices, and, therefore, egal, Mr. Chamberlatn tur ther admits that the Goverament of which he is a member felt that the. Land-League azitation, with all its concomitants of outrage and terror- ism, was ANSOLUTELY NECESSARY. toenable them to push the Land bill throuzh the Lords. Had it not been for tnis, the bill would nave been ‘turown out by the Lords, a3 the Compensation Dill of the previous session was thrown out, ‘thus. giving the signal for. terrorism. Nr. Gladstone does. not edmit that the leazue influenced the Introduction of the Lund bill, the Government | movement. and to expliin what was the exact having previously decided to treat the land question. In bis Midlothian speeches, Mr, Giad- stone intimated his intention of tinkering the Act of 1870, and it is probable that, until the de- velopment of tne situation, he thought that suf- ficient. THE COMPENSATION BILL was an instance at once Of a desire to do some sort of justice to Ireland, and of ‘inability to comprehend. the position of affuirs. It may truly ue said that until the agitation which re- sulted from the mussacre - of thet bill br the Lords, Mr. Gladstone, no more than any other English statesman, understood the .abso- lute wants of Ireland. The starting of the Land League at that juncture was a0 inspiration, and Mr. Chamberlain is nO more than right ‘when he acknowledges its power, and had it been kept on the origioat ines it would have continned to do magnificent. work, yl Mr, Chainberlain’s admissions are rather awk- ward for Mr. Gladstone, and expose him to tho adverse eriticist of the Conservatives,whouskat what point the illegality came in—whethér with Mr. Parnell's speech at Wexford, or-with the No-Rent proclamation. It seemg, indeed, aseit, the Government had wind of the proclamation. ug it was probably the league's. last shot, and that they compelled the learue to issue it by arresting Parnell. In any case, Mr. Chamberlain's speech gives a handle to the Conservatives and thut portion of whe ltadicals who oppose the coercion policy to carry a yole of censure against the Government next se3- sion.
