ures a second ballot will be necessary
in Mont Martre. This result is pToba-
bIv accounted for by the number o.
blanks. 1t is admitted that the blanks
in Mont Martre were really given to
Boulanger. The public consider the
governments tactics unfair, alsl as only
likely to create sympathy for the general.
The London Standard Paris dispatch
says that the prevailing impression IS
that the government is worsted and
there will be a severe struggle in the
second ballots. The Paris correspond
ent of the London Daily News COM
ments on the seriousness of the voting
III France. He thinks there has been
great relative falling off of the power OF
the Boulangist party since January.
He predicts that both BOulanger and
Naouet will be defeated in the second
ballots. and says that four-ffths
of the reballots are likely to re-
suit in favor of the Republicans.
All the correspondents of the London
newspapers dwell upon the gravity dis
played by the electors. The govern
ment left to the mayors discretion to
declare null and void all votes cast for
the condemned BOulangists, The Paris
correspondent of the London Times
comes to the conclusion that on
THE SECOND BALLOT
the ReactiOnaries and BOulangists COM
bined will be far from having the
strength they expected. At $3.50 a. m.
the results are as follows: Republicans
elected, 15S; anti-Republicans elect
ed, SO; reballots necessary, AS;
Leon Say is elected in Pau, and
Casimir-Perier. Republican, in Nogert
sur Seine. Picol. RevisiOnist, has de-
feated Ferry in the YOsges department.
De ROulde is elected for Angouleme
and Spuller for Beaume. ReballOts are
necessary in the districts contested by
CIemenceau and Constant. There ap-
pears to be no chance of the Consery-
atives winning a single seat in Paris.
NJ. FlOquet and NJ. Lickroy have a good
chance of success on the second ballots.
Ten provincial priests have been
suspended from their functions for
preaching against the government. For
the thiTty-seven UncOntested seats the
members elected consist of twenty-eight
ROvaIists. eight MinisteTialists and the
BOulangist Lehrisse. The provincial
vote seems to have been tentative. In
Monmatrtre district there was free

matte representatives made it point to

able exceptions were the ambassadors
of Germany and Italy. The boulevards
were thronged until midnight. There
was much cryingof Down with Ferry"
Gen Ignatief was among the crowd of
distinguished foreigners remaining in
Paris. Laguerre poled 621 over the re-
Quisite majority. 1t seems to be pOpu-
lar feeling in the French capitol that a
genuine crisis has been reached. A
common remark is that to-day's election
is the most important for France
since the day of Sedan. The
anxiety to obtain returns inlicat-
ing the result in the provinces is very
marked. and every scrap of news bulle-
tined at the leading newspaper offices
tonight is being eagerly scanned by
large crowds of people. The election is
cOnspicuOusly an expression of the pop
uIar will, and in this respect differs from
many previous French elections, which
were merely the registration by the peo-
pie of a result already achieved by their
leaders. The arrangements for the rapid
recording of the results of the elections
reflect the greatest credit upon Minister
Constant. In the dining room of the
ministry Of the interior 200 newspaper
reporters were provided with seats
AT A HUGE TABLE.
which was furnished with every con-
venience for writing. The bill posters
employed by the Revisionists were hard
at work throughout Saturday night, and
the morning found every available
space covered. Continuous rain after
dusk yesterday evening kept the streets
quiet. The display Of transpareneies
by newspapers had been forbidden.
Returns from the provinces are coming
in slowly. NJ. Thevenet, minister of
justice, is elected in the Second district
Of Lyons. In the other divisions Of
Lyons second ballots will be necessary.
In all the divisions of Bordeaux
second ballots will have to be
taken. NJ. ROuvier, minister of
finance, has been elected in
