PARIS. Sept. 23-The elections In France
yesterday resulted In a crushing defeat to
the Boualangists, who returned only q
members and whose entire representation
In the new chamber after the reballOting
will not exceed SO members. The conser-
vatives elected 131 members and will get
80 more. The republicans returned 218
and will secure over 100 more, making
their total strength In the chamber be-
tween 325 and $50, against
900 or go representing the
whole Reactionary-B oulangist coalition.
The success of the republicans and the de-
feat of the monarchy and C8sarism Is a
happy fact. The result of the election puts
an end to the BOulangist-Monarchy con-
spiracy.
Returns from the elections in this city
show that the conservatives did not elect a
single member while the republicans re-
turned one and the BOulangists four.
Reballots will be necessary In thirty seven
divisions. NJ. Thevenet, minister of
justice, has been reelected but re-
ballots will be necessary in the
districts In M. Constans, minister of the
interior, and NJ Yves-Guyot, minister of
public works. were candidates. Their
election, however, is regarded as certain.
Among the republicans defeated is NM.
Milude, Goblet, Jules Ferry, Willard and
Joubert, while In the districts in which
NM. Milleraud, Passy, Loclroy, Floquet
and BarOdet, republicans, and NM. An
drieux, Laisant, Vergoin, Laur, De Su-
sine and Naquet, anti-republicani, were
candidates, re-ballots will havet to be had.
Count Dillon was elected.
official returns at noon from $50 cleo
tOral divisions show that the republicans
have elected their candidates In 217 and
the anti-republicans In 1913. Re-ballots
will be necessary in 166 divisions. Among
the prominent republicans elected are NM
FalliereS, Ribot, Jules Roche, Granet
Develle, Deschanel, Barbe, Sarrier and
Reinach Among the prominent opposi-
ton candidates elected are NM Cassagnac,
Lalon, Fould, Haussmann, Gonelle,
Lanjuinais and Nun. 1t is believed
that in 1877 of the divisions where re-bal-
lots will be necessary the result will be
favorable to the republicans. In the other
80 divisions, the opposition will probably
elect their candidates. The republicans
also rely on electing the ten mem
bers from the colonies They will
thus hold 354 seats in the new chamber of
deputies. In official circles government
majority is considered assured. Although
the majority will not be large, it will be
more compact and more homogeneous
than that in the last chamber
Later returns show that the republicans
have elected their candidates in 219 divis-
ions and the opposion in 156, RebalIots
will be necessary in 10 divisions. The
conservatives have elected M. Breteuil
Soubeyan, Mackau, Montgolfier and Bishop
Froppel.

cal shades of the new chamber will be much
the same as those Of the old.
