Astounding Result OF the Elections.
PARIS, October 5.-The results of
elections throughout France yester-
day for members of the chambers of
deputies, as far as officially reported
up to noon to-day, have created great
surprise aud cbagrin among mem
beers of the cabinet and their
colleagues. Conservatives on the
other hand, are wild with enthusiasm
over the fact that they have polled a
much larger vote than their most
sanguine anticipaiious, and making
charges in the cabinet requisite.
The returns show that the conserva-
ton have won sixty seats in seven
teen of the eighty-seyen departments
and have also beaten two cabinet
ministers aud made q second ballot
necessary todecide the case Of others.
The result of the elections Ia Tile,
Marselles and Paris have noi yet been
declared.
NJ. Goblet minister Of public in-
structloss, and M. Herve Mangou,
minister of commerce, are the cabinet
officers who have been defeated by
the conservatives. The opportunists
have lost many feats which have been
gained by either radicals or conser-
NATIVES.

Serious Trouble Between King AN d

CoPENHAaEN, Oct. 5.-The diet
opened to-day and IL is probable the
session will be the most stormy one
the people of Denmark have ever
seen. Tho relations of the contend
ing parties are strained to the ut
most and some violent scenes are an-
ticipated. ana tempt will be made to
force the king to comply with the
vote of the diet, at a previous session,
and to dismiss his obnoxious miuis-
tcrs. His majesty will also probably
be the subject of serious discussion
Tor having commanded, by a royal
decree, when the diet refus-
ed to vote the budget and saying
he was determined to continue TO do
80 until the Representatives of the
people returned to sense of what he
conccives to be their duty. The peo-
pic throughout Denmark are greatly
excited at the arbitrary action of
the king; mayors all over the country
refused TO levy the illegal taxes and
numerous political prosecutions have
re-ulted from demonstrations against
the government.

Canada Demands $50 Each for their
Re-admission.
New York, October GA Wash.
ington special TO the Post says new
complication has arisen in connection
with the Chinese question. 1t ap-
pears that the British government re-
fuses TO permit its possessions TO be
made a dumping ground for the re-
jected Chinese of the United States,
except upon payment of fee, which
il Is quite impossible for the United
States to pay, and which, perhaps, Is
an exhorbitant measure OF The WORTH
lessness OF the Chinese.
This discovery has been made by
one Of the customs officers on the
northwestern boundary. lie reports
to the department that while strenu-
ously endeavoriug to carry out the
instructions of the famous Chinese
circular and put back upon British
soil. the Chinese who had come into
the United States In violation of the
prov isions of the restriction act, he
was met by Canadian statute, whether
new or old does not appear. which
required payment to the treasurer of
the Canadian government of $50 for
each Chinaman as the condition pre-
cedent of re-admission to British
soil. The officer suggests to the
treasury department that he has no
money at his disposal to pay for such
re-admissions and he asks the treas
ury department what he is to do
about II.
The existence of this Canadian
statue, If in fact II does exist and has
been rightly construed, was not
known 10 our authorities and they
certainly have no appropriation from
which they can pay $50 per head for
Dvery Chinaman to be exported. The
situation Ii a novel one aud raises an
International questiaa of peculiar
