The electoral colleges in 38. out" of the 61 provinces Id European Russia to-day elected ITS. mem bers . to ' the national Parliament about one-third . of Us entire membership and returns received up to midnight indicate that . the wildest hopes of the liberals have; been, realised, the ' Constitutional Democrat and other progresatvists practically- everywhere having gained a tre mendous victory over the Octoberists and other conservative parties. As far as is aeertalnable, hot ', a single reactionary candidate i pulled through and", nowhere did even the Octoberists score a triumph. The majorities obtained by the radicals clinch the character of the, victory. From the Volga to the frontier ef Poland and from the stilt Ice-bound coast of Arch angel to the Black Sea, the story is sub stantially the same. PEASANTS VOTHI LIBERAL. In almost every instance, the peasants elected were not onlj plfogresslvee?, but the majority of themg iM; east,M had a high -school educatlon?ii.Wi'H In the Volga district and .the central provinces, where - famine '. and agjrartan disorders have been the greatest, - the peasant vote was most radical. : 1 ' In Samara, by a vote of 8$ tO,8, ;they chose M. Quttandont, a Socialist, while the members elected, by the college were a doctor, four Zemtvolsts and five pro gressive peaaanta. , EVEN COSSACK TRIBE RADICAU, Tn far awav Tlfa. the border territory. the Orenburg Coaaacks returned a solid progressive delegation consisting of four Knaala.na and six Mussulmans. The effect of the revolutionary out breaks at Sebastopol was reflected in the results in Taurida, which includes the whole of the Crimea, where the peaaanta chose a Social Revolutionist, In the province Of Grodno, ln the Jew ish pale, a solid progressive delegation was chosen, included among It being two Jews. Tver, where Governor General Bleptioff was assassinated Saturday, was swept by the Constitutional 1 Democrats ' by an overwhelming majority. Ivan Petrunke vltch, the leader of the Constitutional Democrats, and against Whom the "oppo sition was concentrated, and RodicheS and Kuiminkaravlelt were triumphantly elected. . :. SOME OF THE LEADERS. Among other prominent persons elected arc Prince Balataiteff, tha well-known Zemtvolst worker of Simbirsk, prince Shakeffsky. of Taroslav," and Prof. Kaxlm Kovotevsky, of Kharkoff. While na definite results of the munic ipal elections held to-day are known, they seem also everywhere to. have gone ln favor of the progressives. : In Minsk province, the radical Russians and Jews and Poles formed a coalition ad de cided to put up a Joint ticket comprised of tour Jews, two Poles and one Rus- 4jajiuw4 T&V&KZSZ? vv t niuijuaii -muni. . vww. .

Another crisis plainly confronts the government, for tna sweeping ' character of their victory undoubtedly will encour age the liberals to push the government to the wall, and it would seem that t!Te Emperor must yield to the entreaties Of those who counsel a final surrender .by Issuing a constitution to the people or dispersing the national - Parliament 'as soon as it assembles.
