' BOulanger Elected. PARIS, Jan. 27-Every quarter of Paris ! was enlivened last night by frequent street ! brawls between supporters and opponents of General Boulanger. The most violent encounter took place in Montmartre where 8 number of persons were wounded. The police interfered and arrested several of the ring-leaders. Another serious collision oc- cured in the Fsuborg su Temple, where several persons were injured. At several electoral meetings there were scenes of great disorder. Bands of men and lads singing the Marseillaise and Boulangist songs paraded the boulevards until late hour. In the Place open air meetings were held. Great masses of people were present, but the proceedings were on the whole fairly orderly although 8 few individual brawls occurred and a mum Der of persons were arrested.
 At noon to-day the electors were throng- ing the 266 balloting stations. The Boulan- gists were everywhere first at the voting places, showing the greatest confidence in their success. The Boulangists, among oth- CT things, predict the immediate fall of the Floquet ministry, the dissolution of Parlia- ment and general election in March. They also forecast rupture in the radical party and express the belief that forty radical dep uties will join the Boulangist ranks and thus give the general following of sixty mem bers in the present chamber.
 The prefect of police to-day enlisted the services of large number of householders to aid the police in maintaining order. Troops were held in readiness at various points and cavalry were ordered to patrol the streets and disperse all gatherings. Municipal guards lined the boulevards, and in every quarter the police and military were well prepared to suppress an outbreak.
 PARIS, Jan. 27.-Boulanger is elected by 8 majority of 91, $50. General Boulsngel's s electoral organization was perfect His fol lowers were instructed to maintain order, otherwise they would injure. The excite ment grew at 3 o'clock when the returns showed General Boulanger's majority to be 5000 in the St. Denis district, and that he had boiled three times more votes than his opponent in the eighth arrondisment. The members of the government are astounded at the result. Bets are freely offered that the ministry will resign tomorrow.

 PRESS COMMENTS ON THE ELECTION.
 LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The Standard com- menting on the Paris election snys: Paris has done many wonderful things, but she has never done anything more wonderful than the election of Boulsnger, and we are bound to add, never anything more ignomin- ious or insane. Paris made the war of 1870, and 1t seems probable she will make another.
 The Daily News gays: The election of General Boulanger is due to the unpatriotic and interruptions conduct of the conserva- Comte de Paris if he advised his followers to support Boulanger.
