Telcgraphic Summary.
FRANCE.


Fuller returns from the departments
increase still further the Republican
majority in the Chamber Of Deputies.
The last of the election returns are
now in. The members elect are CLASH
fed as follows: Republicans 1893; con-
servative republicans rs, Bonapartists Ga,
legitimists rs, conservatives "a, consti-
tutionalists 20, radical II. Second bal
lots in 1O6 districts are necessary. It is
expected that when all the elections are
decided the Republicans will have 1888
seats OF these it is estimated the left
will hold 1856, and the extreme left 90, so
these sections united will have a work
ing majority In the Chamber without
the assistance of the left centre. The
leaders of the left centre are much con-
cerned at the prospect.
NJ Theirs will probably take his seat
In the Chamber of Deputies instead Of
the Senate, in order to moderate the
zeal Of the Republicans.
The leading men az the different frac-
tions OF the Conservatives have been
beaten in their strong hold. OF tho pro-
minent Bonapartist candidates the
following are known to have been elect
ed NJ Rouher at Riom, Due DeMouchy
and Janvier de La Motto. Jules Ferry,
the Republican, was elected in the
Vosges. The Republicans are jubilant
and their organs counsel moderation {;
the present Cabinet will probably resign
and Mr.. Dufaure entrusted with forma-
tion Of q new one.

Every investigation that has been
made in reference to the canal MENACE
ment in New York State, has only vim
meritorious the action Of Governor Til
den, in his war upon the canal ring.
The result Of the late investigation,
which has been very thorough and com
plete, shows that, under the canal ring,
the management has been both reckless
and extravagant in the extreme, and
that the Governor OF the State moved
none too soon, nor too energetically, on
the rascalities that had been for a long
time practiced under. Republican ad-
ministrations in the State. Governor
Tilden not only deserves we'll OF the
State, but his splendid example may yet
be worth millions TO the country at
large.-Ne,o H0Uen Register.

A LARGE NUMBER or FAMILIES HoMELEss-Loss
OVER $l,000,000.
QUEBEC May 3O.-A fire started in Scott-st at
O'clock to-day and Is now raging. Fifty houses
have already been destroyed The efforts of the
fremen appear useless, and, owing to prevailing
high wind and the amount of nfammable material
i'm the neighborhood, it is feared that the greater
mart of the ST. Louis suburb will be destroyed.
LATER.--The fire continues to rage with undated
fury. Already the houses destroyed may be counted
by hundreds. Almost the entire population OF the
St. Louis suburb are moving, and hundreds OF un-
fortunate sufferers will be compelled to pass the
night in the open fields. Thousands of people are
on the streets viewing the fire. The water was
turned of from the Ward when the fire started,
which accounts for its rapid spread The Asylum OF
the Good Shepherd is now out of danger
ONE THOUSAND HOUSES BURNED.
IATFsT-1Opm-The destructive fire which broke
ont in Scott-st at D. m. to-day is still burning
Gercely. but is somewhat under control. The hlgh
wind of the afternoon has moderated, and
a good supply of water is now available.
The fire has passed through the center OF the ~.
Louis suburb extending from the extreme western
limit to he eastern lmit facing the Notifications,
then southerly to the Grand Alice and nOrtherly to
the third street south of st. Join-st.
Only rough estimate Of the loss can be made TO-
night. The number of houses burned may be set
down at 1000. and the loss will reach at least
ii 100000 The fields adjacent to the burned ds-
trict are covered with goods of all descriptions.
Hundreds of the poor sufferers are compelled to pass
the night without shelter Scott-st, where the hre
originated bears an uneviabe notoriety for fires,
having been almost wholly destroyed twice within
the past few years.

say they have obtained much valuable information to aid
them IN the preparation OF the proposed bill for the
better government Of the Department OF Justice 1t Is
understood that of the main fea ures Of The new
bill will be the substitution in the clerks Marshas, and
other Offices practicable, OF salaries instead Of

Committee IN the investigation into the clerks fees As
result both Of these have been fully reviewed by
Distrct-Atorney Bliss and b. c. Jayne for the Govern
ment William +. Dodge yesterday stated his view Of
the case OF Phelps, Dodge Co.. and Judge Noah Davis
conrdced the story of Jayne to the part that he had
I'm the case as DstctAtorney. Judge Davis said that he
had never stipulated for any fee in the case and had
never received dollar Mr. Dodge, in reply to the ques-
tion as whether he believed that improper influences
had oecn brought to bear on his firm to make them
settle said there certainly They were told that
81 $50 worth OF their goods would be seized If they
did settle, and they thought it better TO lose the
S27l 900 than the risk OF losing the entire
amount The irregularities Of the firm amounted to
5000, which the Government had claim for
sl,401. The witness had always regarded Senator
Conkling as counsel for Jayne In the matter.
