Menace to the Republic.
PARIS, Jan. 28.-The cabinet had a
meeting this morning and discussed
measures to be adopted in event of dis
orders arising. It is stated that a
majority of the ministers are in faver Of
dissolving the chambers and holding q
general election II April, but first mOdi-
flying the electoral laws IN order to pre-
vent plebiscitary proceedings. Some
members of the chamber Of deputies ad-
vocate strong anti Boulangist measures
by the government. They urge that
Gen. Campanini be asked to form a cabi-
net and President CarnOt had conferences
this morning with men prominent in
political life. II is the president s inten-
ton calmly TO await events and TO ac-
cept all responsibility the situa-
ton Involves He viii not aban-
don the presidency till the expiration
of his term of office. Prime Minister
FlOquet has decided to resign or take any
other action that the chamber Of deputies
may consider the interest of the republic
demands
NJ. Jouvancel has abandoned his inten-
ton to interpellate the government in
the chamber of deputies this afternoon
in regard to measures to be adopted to
check the spread of Boulangerism. At
this hour $3.50 p. m J but few persons
are gathered outside the chamber and
nothing noteworthy has occurred. In
government circles it is considered that
the election of Gen. BOulanger menaces
the republic, 80 900 Conservatives and
$50 900 Republicans having voted for
him. One minister, in speaking Of the
situation, quoted the words Of NJ Theirs,
We should take everything seriously,
nothing tragicaIly.'
LONDON PRESS COMMENTS.
LONDON, Jan. 28.-The Standard,
commenting on the result of the Paris
election, says: Paris has done many
wonderful things, but she has never done
anything more wonderful than the cleo
ton of Boulanger, and we are bounu TO
add never anything more synonymous,
never more insane. Paris made the war
Of 1870, and it seems probable she will
make another.
The Daily News says: The election of
Gen. Boulanger is due to the unpatriotic
and INSCRIPTIONS conduct of the Conser-
natives. 1t will be to the lasting dis
credit Of COmte de Paris that he advised
his followers to suggest Boulanger.
IT MEANS TROUBLE.
New YORK, Jan. 2S.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs his |
paper as follows: At midnight it is evil |
dent that Gen. BOulanger will have about !
so 900 majority over NJ. Jacques, which |
exceeds the widest guess which has been |
quoted. Up TO the present hour there |
have been no disturbances worth count |
ing, though the deepest excitement / !
have seen for many years prevails All |
the bOulevards have been crowded with |
people watching for news the whole |
evening, and, curious enough, the |
crowds were almost invariably against |
Bculanger. This seems TO indicate that |
he was supported by the Weather class I
including hotel and upper shop keepers |
who desire better trade, but not by those /
who make up the street assemblages. As |
TO what may happen inside Of Paris no.
body has any views. Such calm judg-
Inent as one can find tonight is concen-
trated upon the question what Germany
will think. Frenchmen may fully under
stand that Boulanger's election is
due TO Panama canal influence, to
the dislike of the Radicals, TO
the clerical reaction and a thousand
other things; but the problem is will
Germany ever pretend TO comprehend
these local facts. viii she not instead leap
ut the chance of accepting Boulanger as
the evangel Of Provence. l happen TO |
know two war correspondents who to-
night got word from their editors to hold
themselves ready for an emergency. 1t
does not necessarily mean trouble is COM
ing, but il is the most ineligible trans
Iation of the meaning of to-day 5 work.
DESIGNATIONS REFUSED.
