PARIS, Sept. I5.-As the time for the
French elections approaches the omens
do not altogether favor peaceful ballot
ing. Gen Boulanger, after series of
manifestoes against the high court of the
government, and publishing his lists of
candidates for the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the
department of the Seine, has succeeded
in having large numbers of campaign
documents distributed throughout the
whole district and having it
actively canvassed by agents. The
department is the district comprising
Paris and its suburbs, for which in jan
uary last BOulangeT was elected to the
chamber of deputies. At that time the
whole district formed single constitu-
ency, returning some forty members.
The electoral law since passed by the Re-
publican majority of the chamber and
the senate has divided these large cOnsti-
tUencies so that each sub-dls-
trict now returns its own mem
bers. The Boulangist list offers
a candidate for each Constituency, the

Montmartre, a quarter which, when the
system of small constituencies was pTevI-
Ously in force, returned NJ Clemenceau,
the Radical leader. Another of the
Boulangist candidates, Gen. Thibaudin,
who was minister of war from January to
October, 1898, is very popular in his dis
trict. The platform of the agitatOrs, the
old one of revision by a constitutional
& assembly, Is still a good campaign card
and will find many supporters among
the masses. 1t is quite evident the
Boulangists will try to carry out their
programme and secure a chamber of
their own faction The fact that Bou-
hanger cannot legally be a candidate
and therefore cannot be returned counts
for nothing in their calculations. 1t is
also evident the government is resolved
to maintain Its authority and to
secure public order during the elections,
but the signs here enumerated do not pOr
tend a quiet election contest. Very
much depends on the attitude taken by
the workingmen's associations. They
have hitherto maintained a reserve,
which leaves it a matter of doubt
whether they viii support or oppose the
government.

DARKEY SHOOTING AFFRAY.

Compliments.
Special to the Gazette.
HoUsToN, TEX. Sept. l5.-One of the
funniest shooting scrapes which ever took
place occurred here this afternoon on the
corner of Congress and Crawford streets.
Two darkies, who met each other for the
first time in their lives, got into an alter
cation when one whipped out gun and
commenced to shoot at his antag
onist. The streets were crowded at
the time, but the scattering of foot pas
sengers was amusing. The target of the
baIligerent shootist received but one shot,
which broke his arm. He refuses to give
his name Two policemen started after
the ebony-hued individual who did the
shooting, but failed to catch him, and he
escaped. AS no names are obtainable
the police are nOnplussed.

Western railroad was wrecked early this

session. lie finally offered as an amend
ment that the appointees be federal ex-
soldiers. Smith, democrat, thereupon said,
"You are the man that struck an old sol
die. last session." johnson said, "'fhis Ia
without foundation" Griffith, demo-
crat. asserted that the charge was true,
whereupon johnson gave him the lie
direct For time great excitement pre-
vailed. The resolution finally passed by a
party vote. In legislative circles tonight
the quarrel Is the sole topic, and there Is
serious talk among democrats of a resolu-
tion being introduced tomorrow TO expel
Senator johnson, which, II carried, will
cost the republicans their most aggressive
senator.
