Long Endure the Attacks On IL
Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, April a-The result OF the election OF 3
president OF the French chamber OF deputies yes
terday, and the voting on the question OF adjourn
ment Tor the Easter recess, were severe blows TO
FloQuets ministry. The reactionary deputies
reconsidered their intention to vote for Ciemen-
ceau for the presidency One royalist, De Laro-
chette, actually went up TO vote for Clemenceau,
out the Duke OF Larocheroucauld dissuaded him
brisson is too obnoxious TO the Bonapartists TO
be acceptable TO all the opponents OF the ministry
Hence Meline, as a republican OF decidedly conser-
vative tendencies was selected as a compromise.
The contest was 50 close that when the roll OF the
drum was heard In the lobby announcing the elec-
tion OF president, the friends OF both candidates
thought their own man was being escorted with
military honors Meline is well known as an op-
ponent OF the communists, and voted against
plenary amnesty. As minister OF agriculture he
iounueo the decoration called Ordre du Merite
Agrtcote, which Is looked upon with scant respect
since IL was nicknamed by the wits the Ordre de Ia
Cdrotfe. Had Clemenceau been four years older
he would have been elected Meline beiug chosen
only on account OF his seniority, according TO the
rule In case OF tie. The
DrscoMFrTURE OF THE GOVERNMENTS FRIENDS,
although not technically the government ITSELF
was more severe on the adjournment. The tactics
OF the chambers are well understood. The opposi-
tion wished TO have an opportunity OF turning out
the government before the approaching municipal
elections, In order that the government might not
0e able TO use their influence IN managing them.
Inc chamber insisted on meeting, not as
the friends OF the FloQuet ministry
asked, on May q, but on April 10.
contention was made that deputies paid 10 do the
work OF the nation, should not shirk, but probably
no speaker was sincere In this argument excepting
tne oid revOiutionlst Felix Pyat, who for once In
MS nfe, supported the reactionaries.
rHE ATTAGEs ON TIE GOVERNMENT IN THE PRESS
continue with unabated vigor. The Steele, which
Is supposed to represent the views OF President
Carnot says: 1.-The Floquet appointments are
simply detestable" This means that FloQuet has
CHOSEN thoroughly radical cabinet which should
occasion no surprise, he has never concealed the
fact that he is IN favor OF tie abolition OF the
ate, separation OF church and state the creation OF
an Income tax and the right or Paris TO absolute
municipal government.

fortunately did not strike the engineer fireman.
The fireman returned a shot at Derry who then
ran away. He was arrested soon after by the city
police.

cial says: AT $3.50 yesterday afternoon this city
was visited by the most terrible wind and hail
storm it has ever experienced. Roofs were torn
on from stone buildings, signs were blown hither
and thither like straws, and dry goods boxes and
empty barrels were sent flying up Main street like
paper balls. There was nothing cyclonic in the
storm. 1t was mainly wind and hail Coming
from the southeast the rate OF GO miles an hour,
I. struck the center OF the city at 1892, and con-
unued In great violence for fifteen minutes. The
first roof to 60 was that OF Mrs Henrick's stone
building on Main street. Others quickly followed,
among them being that OF voltz Bros stone build
ing, the threestory Union block, and the east por
ton OF the roof OF the Church OF the Immaculate
Conception (Roman Catholic). The roof was also
blown on the depot. scuttle from one OF the
buildings struck gentleman, name unknown, on
the head, infctng serious and perhaps fatal inju-
ries. This Is the only casualty so far known. The
plate-glass front In the Union block and r. j.
Glieb's shoe store were blown out into the street.
The new High School and the new Rattan Works
buildings were also injured, but to what extent
phone poles were broken on, swapping like reeds
under the fury OF the gale. II is estimated that
the total loss will be 100000. and possibly more
ACCOMPANIED By THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

terrible wind from the east. In the village but
very little damage was done, some old roofs being
blown on and things generally being shaken up.
The only serious damage reported here consists OF
several houses unroofed, and at one place several
miles north OF here the upper story OF house be-
