roudon Sept. 21.-Public interest has been slow

r,o,e talked about, mainly as to the prospects of

personal prospects in Montmartre seem hopeful.
his candidates elsewhere are not strong or well
received Half the returns will not be completed
st the first vote tomorrow, and it is dlffcuit
TO forecast the result. This difficulty is increased
through the vote being taken by scrutin darroh-

entirely depend on the temper Of the new Cham
Der and the strength of his personal followers
whether the Chamber will attempt to relieve Cen
eral Boulanger from the consequences of the YER

Many authorities doubt the Chambers competence
to relieve him from the necessity of standing his
rlal before the Hlgn OOufu.
There is unusual ouietude in France, even in
Lyons, Marseles and Paris. The Exhibition has
done much to produce this result. In Paris not
withstandng all the good the Exhibition has pro-
duced to shopkecpers it is generally believed that
the city will return largely against the support
ers of the present Government
Mr. AbbOttS mission to Australia is considered
here as of some Importance. His primary object is
10 press the claims of Vancouver as against San
Francisco as the terminus of the new trans Pa
,ifc steamship route. Canada has already prom
ised co. 600 pounds for an eighteen-llnOt service
between England and Canada, and is prepared to
give 25 600 pounds for the proposed service be
tween Vancouver and Sydney, New.South Wales.
Mr. Abbott wishes to induce the Australians to con.
tribute an additional sum of 49, 600 pounds toward
the Pacific subvention in order TO secure fast
boats capable of giving twenty-eight days mail
between London and Sydney. He will not find
all the colonies of the same mind about encourag-
ing the Ipciic route South Australia will GER
tainy object to the line, because it would injure
Adelaide. Possibly Melbourne which maintains
a bitter rivalry toward Sydney, will not care
20 see the older capital of New South Wales profit
by MIR. Abbott's proposal. Sydney may be com
tent to sit still and see whether the United States
may not offer more liberal terms than Canada in
order TO maintain the present San Francisco route
for its mails and commerce. We do not sufficiently
know the terms of Mr.. Abbott's intercOlOnhl tariff
scheme, but that he takes some project in his
portmanteau is the belief of everybody who has
any knowledge of the subject. Behind all this
is the Pacific cable project, which Canada also
strongly supports. The Australian colonies deem
ii "a pious aspiration, but are not as eager as
Canada TO spend money the scheme. They Go
not more than half employ the existing cable
routes TO England.
Pending by-elcctions are not exciting much
attention MIR. Chaplin will doubtless be re-
elected for ScafoId but with an impaired majority.
Mr. Leng is not likely TO meet with any opposition
IN Dundee. a small hole-and-cOner meeting
OF Socialists invited Mr. John Burns, but he
has declined. Mr.. Edward Jenkins, the author
OF OinXs Baby was also thought Of as the
Unlomst candidate, but Dundee has had enough
o1 MI. jenkins, and he seems TO know that fact.
Hence Mr. Leng will be unopposed. At Peter
borough tough fight is expected, though the
Unlonlst candidate Is weak man. A still more
severe contest may be looked for in North Bucks
At Elgin there is distinct spli. among the
Gladstonians, arising out Of Mr. Seymour Keay's
views of land naturalization. The doctrines of
Mr.. Henry George have no attraction for the
rural Liberals and Mr. Keay is not Of sufficiently
retiring disposition 10 make way for a man Of
more moderate views
Mr.. Chamberlain's Huddersfeld invitation TO
the moderate Gladstonians TO ioin the Government
IN promoting remedial legislation for Ireland is
intended TO attract those members who dislike
the Jacobyns the new Radical organization. The

ton side. but Mr.. Chamberlain is not the man TO
