PARIS, Oct. 5.-The results Of the elections
throughout France, yesterday. for members of
| the Chamber of Deputies, as far officially re-
ported, up to noon to-day, have created great
surprise and chagrin among the members of the
Cabinet and their colleagues The Conserva-
tves, on the other hand, are wild with enthusi.
asm over the fact that they succeeded in polling
much larger vote than the most sanguine an
ticipated, and making changes in the Cabinet
requisite. The returns show that the Conserva
tives have won sixty seats in seventeen of the
eighty-seven departments, and have also beaten
two Cabinet ministers and made second ballot
necessary to decide the fate of two others. M.
Goblet Minister Of Public Instruction, and M.
Herve Mangon, Minister of Commerce.
| are the Cabinet officers who have been defeated
by the Conservatives. The Opportunsts have
lost many seats, which have been gained either
by the Radicals or the Conservatives.
The elections in Paris for members of the
Chamber of Deputies resulted as follows: M.
Brisson, the Premier, and NJ Allan large, Min
lister of the Interior, head the list with 10, 900
votes each; Nm. Fioquet. Lockroy, Barodit. De-
lafosse, Clemenceau, and Paul Brit, received
from T. 600 to 9, 900 votes each and MN De Cas-
sagnac ard Herye. editor of the Soliel, 5000
each.

s. 1t will be necessary to have POP second
ballots.
The Paris correspondent Of the Daily News
forecasts the election of 200 Royalists and 160
Radicals, the remainder being moderate Repub
licans. He adds: "Clemenceau is leading the
solid Radicals, and becomes political power of
the first magnitude. No Republican govern
ment is possible without him."
The proprietors of the Ganlois, in order to
signalize the Conservative successes, Illuminated
the front Of their Office this evening. The in
scription, ''l75 Conservatives elected! Viva la
France" formed of gas JETS was conspicuously
displayed in the windows crowd soon assem-
bled in front Of the building and threw stones at
the windows. The police were unable to dis
perse the mob. Editor Myer made attempt
to leave the building. He was warned by a COM
missary of police to abandon the idea,
but he persisted, and was arrested. The staff of
the Gaulois then made sortie and rescued
Myer, who was severely bruised in the scuf1e.
Meanwhile the crowd increased, and the excite
ment became intense The police rein
forced, and the project of police ordered them to
clear the streets. After the greatest efforts the
police succeeded in dispensing the mob. During
the melee two revolvers were fired at the win
dows Of the Gaulois Office.
1t is said that the loss of friends and relatives
in Tonquin immensely influenced the provincial
electors in favor of the reactionares The
Messenger de Paris attributes the defeat of the
Opportunists to their extravaganza in colonial
adventures their war against religion, and their
ill treatment of the magistracy.
