FRANCES FATE
TREMBLING In THE BALANCE.
A Great Electoral Battle to be Fought To.
Day.
ODDS IN FAVOR OF The REPUBLIC.
A Thorough Test Of Its Strength Befors the
People.

PARIS, September 21-M. Paul Derou-
lede, M. Daguerre, M. Naqust and other
members of the Patriotic League, which
was recently suppressed by the Govern
ment, have issued q manifesto in which
they appeal to all patriots to vote for Gen.
BOulanger in to-mcrrow's elections for
members of the Chamber OF Deputies, and
thus deliver the country from the yoke ofa
Government which is ruining France. The
GduloiS says that the Government at the
last moment interds 10 issue proclama-
ton declaring that all votes cast for Gen.
Boulsnger will be void. The Boulangsts
are working actively in the interests of
their candidate. Committees have been
appointed whose duty it will BE- to closely
watch the ballot boxes and prevent any
attempts at fraud.
THE RESULT III DOUBT.
The polls will ope1 tomorrow morning
OF o'clock and close at 8 p m. At this
election two great changes terd to initiate
against speculation in advance. 1t will be
arrondissemental voting-one man, one
vote, and not scrutin de iste, as hereto
fore. In addition, the new law against
multiple candidates has gone into effect,
and no candidate can run in moro than one
district. This law, aimed at Gen. BOu-
LANCER, has the result, taken in connection
with the sentence depriving him of bis
civil rights, of making him absolutely pow
erless so far as he Is personally concerned.
His hold upon the masses, however, is still
an unknown quantity, and recent devel-
opments in the rougher districts of Paris
have indicated the continued existence OF
coed deal OF Bousngist sentiment.
CLERICAL INFLUENCE
What the Government has most to fear,
however, is the influence OF the bishops
0ud clergy. Despite the law which Tor.
bids those wearing the cloth participating
in elections, and the announcement OF
M. Thevenet, the Minister of Justice, that
the government would unhesitatingly and
vigorously proceed against any one who
overstepped the lines epjOined under sll
governments since the COncordat, the
cerics have been unusually active in sup
port CT the opponents OF the Government,
and several Bishops have gone SO
far as 70 give dsnsnce 10 the
Government, openly announcing that
they and the priests, being
citizens equally with other Frenchmen,
have every right to take part IL the cleo
tions. As a result the Government has
exhorted the officers o. election 70 extT&
vigilance. Anything in the shape OF
clerical or BOulangist demonstrations 10
morrow will be speedily suppressed and
Intentional apathy of the police s-agents
will be watched and punished.
THE REPUBLIC SAFE.
In all 555 members of the Chamber OF
Deputies, including those from Algiene
and the provinces, are TO he elected. The
only forecast that can be made is that
the Republic will hold, if not its own, at
least a clear msjOrity in the new Cham
her.

the most daring and sue robberies
ever committed in the State occurred at

for the Ashland and Germania mines, who
were to pay of their men to-day.
The cashier put the money inside OF the
iron vaults and left the bank shortly after
9 O'Clock. The second door of the vault
was opened with key, and this indicates
the work of experts. Officers are at loss
to know which way to turn, and great ex-
citemsnt prevails. The reporter saw G. A.
Alexander, sgent for the express company,
but b. would say nothing about the affair.
A light was LEFT burning in the bank,
and few minutes after 9 man was seen
working st the safe, but ne had On the

thought of il by those who passed the
bank. The cashier returned shortly after
II o'clock, when he discovered that the
money was missing. Active measures
were then taken to get clue of the rob-
bers. but no trace of them has been found.
The Express Company had no receipt for
the mouey from the bank officials The

bers. To day il Vas learnsd that the ex-

two Indians, who were unable to fad
their way back to the ship from the fishing
grounds on account CT the fog. The cap
tain remained in tho neighborhood for five
days, burning lights, but nothing was
seen of them. Ths captain thinks, how
ever, they were picked up By schooner
that passed abont that time.
The schooner Maggie Mac arrived lsst
night from Bshripg Sea with 1900 seal
skins. She was overhauled by the Rush
after three-hours' chase on August 9th,
but Lieutenant Tuttle allowed her to pro-
ceed after examining her papers, as the
skins seemed to be several days old.
Captain Dodd said he had resolved to fight
rather than surrender his vessel or the
skins.
