The balloting in Brandenburg state, which surrounds Berlin, was closely watched across Germany as an indication of the mood in the troubled east ahead of next year's state and federal elections.

Explosion at Lenin statue may send Yeltsin message MOSCOW — An explosion toppled a statue of Lenin in Russia's North Ossetia province yesterday, a day before President Boris Yeltsin was scheduled to visit the restive region. 711 W 23rd in the Malls Shopping Center Margaritas and the largest variety of Mexican beers 843-4044 Call in for take outorders The blast in Vladikavak may be a message of defiance to Yeltsin, who arrives today. The area, part of the Russian northern Caucuses, is a center of resistance to Yeltsin's draft constitution. Local leaders say it would not give the region enough autonomy from Moscow.

This time the blast brought his likeness down and shattered windows in nearby houses. Hong Kong and China tussle over future,political reforms Bv Marcus Ellason The Associated Press HONG KONG — Hong Kong has hit a jarring pothole on the road to 1997. Beijing promptly replied that anything done without its approval would doom the Anglo-Chinese talks on the political future of the British colony, which will revert to China in 1997. But the reforms unveiled Thursday are only the least controversial ingredients of Patten's overall design. Once he gets around to the more sweeping changes, things could get much rougher. The latest round of Anglo-Chinese acrimony began Thursday when Gov. Chris Patten declared that China had exhausted his patience and he was going ahead with electoral reforms whether Beijing liked it or not. China also faces dilemmas. It is preoccupied with the succession to senior leader Deng Xiaoping, who is 89; has a huge financial stake in Hong Kong; and recognizes that the transfer of sovereignty will work only with Britain's cooperation. Given Hong Kong's role as a world financial hub and a key bank roller of China's enormous economic growth, every pothole jars its nerves. China has fashioned its own body of law to govern the territory and may see Patten's proposals as "upsetting the fundamentals of the structure," said Professor Yash Ghal, a constitutional expert at the University of Hong Kong. Britain realizes that trouble with Hong Kong could endanger its share of the Chinese economic bonanza. --our new location! ANALYSIS China has undertaken to keep Hong Kong autonomous and capitalist for 50 years. The argument is essentially about whether pro-democracy or pro-Beijing forces will command a majority in the legislature. Patten's proposals, to broaden the electoral roll and create single-seat constituencies, tend to favor democrats. The dispute mirrors a broader one. To the British, parliamentary democracy is the natural route for Hong Kong, but China's communist leaders see things differently. Possibly the Chinese fear that, unless they make a strong show of blocking Fatton, other provinces of China will be emboldened to demand the same deal as Hong Kong's. The Chinese suspicions were voiced Friday by Wen Wei Po, a Hong Kong newspaper under Beijing's control, which accused Britain of trying to keep a foothold in post-1997 Hong Kong. Patten, it said, was attempting "to cultivate anti-China, pro-British forces who will manipulate the Legislative Council." 609 Massachusetts Lawrence Phone: 843-8593 IN THE "REAL WORLD" YOU MUST CHOOSE! □ A.
