A Blow to the Government and its

The Ministry Resigns but tina Presl-

The Question Of the Hour is what
Will Germany Think?"

NEW YORK, Jan. ga Paris cor
respondent of the Times telegraphed
his paper as follows last night at~mid-
night: 1t is evident that General Bou-
LANCER will have about $4,000 majority
over NJ. Jacques, which touches the
widest guess which was quoted in the
dispatches yesterday. Up to the pres
emit hour there have been no disturb
ances worth counting, though the deep
est excitement 1 have seen for many
years pTevailes. All the boulevards
have been crowded with people waiting
for news the whole evening. Espe-
cially big crowds are gathered in the
Place De-la-Bourse and up Rue Mont
martre, watching the illuminated re-
turn exhibited by newspapers and en-
terprising tradesmeE. Curiously
enough, the crowds were almost invar-
iably against Boulanger. This seems
to indicate that he was supported by
the weather. classes, including hotel
and upper shop keepers, who desire a
better trade, but not by those who
make up street assemblages. AS to
what may happen inside of Paris no
body has any views, and such calm
judgment as one can find tonight is
concentrated upon the question. what
will Germany think? Frenchmen may
fully understand that Boulanger'S cleo
ton Is due To Panama canal Influences,
to the dislike of the radicals. To clerical
reaction, and thousand other things,
but the problem is, will Germany ever
pretend to comprehend these local
facts? Will she not instead leap at
the chance of accepting BOulanger as
the evangel of RevUuche? 1 have hap
pened to know two war CORES pondents
who tonight got word from their edi-
tors to hold themselves ready for an
emergency. 1t does not necessarily
mean that trouble is coming, but it is
most Ineligible translation of the
meaning of to-day's work.

WHAT THE GERMAN PRESS SAYS.
VIENNA, Jan. 2S.-The political cor
respondence, referring To General Bou-
langer's victory, says: In diplomatic
circles the election is regarded as a
sure symptom of a coming change of
system in the government of France.
No immediate danger is feared as re-
CARDS national complications as it is
believed that international dissention
will prevent external entanglementS.'
The Neu Erie Press says: If Presi-
dent Carnot will unite the Republicans
under the banner of honesty, and ap-
peals boldly and openly to France, he
can still bring the country to reason
He must, while bravely attacking Boul-
anger, suppress W tn firm hand the
rivalries in his own camp. Not the re-
public alone but the existence of France
is at stake.
The Wienner Tagblatt says: "The
return OF France to a programme of
moderation is hardly possible. The
danger of a war between France and
Germany has now become real"
