PARIS, Jan. 27.-The polls closed at
pm. The attendance of voters was I'M
precedentedly large. Perfect quiet pre-
walls. The police are seen on the streets,
nearly all being held in reserve. The
whole force is ready to act in case of
necessity The cabinet is summoned to
meet NJ the ministry of the interior to-
morrow.
10:40 p. M.-The result in 200 divisions
is: Boulanger, 1l2 900; Jacques, H.
600. The excitement is intensifyInS
Every quarter of Paris was enhvened
last evening by frequent street brawls
between tie supporters and opponents of
Gen. Boulanger. The most violent en-
counter took place i'll Mount Marie where
a number of persons were wounded The
police interfered and arrested several
ring leaders Another serious collision
occurred in Faubourg dlt Temple where
several persons were injured. AT several
electoral meetings there were scenes of
great disorder. Bagns of men and lads
singing the MarseIllaiSe and Boulangist
songs paraded the bOulevards until q late
hour. In Place De La RepubliQue and
Place De Lopera open-air meetings were
held. Great masses of people were pres
ent, but the proceedings were on the
whole fairly orderly, although few in
dividuaI brawls occurred and number of
persons were arrested.
To-day opened fine and at an early hour
the streets began to fill with people, the
general stir and hustle increasing as the
oil a4r,.-
were thronged toward the 266 balloting
stations. 1t seemed certain that the vote
would be the heaviest ever polled in the
district. The Boulangists were every
where first at the voting places and dis
played the greatest confidence III their
success. The voters of the Fau-
bourg, St German and Champs Elyses
districts were nearly all Boulangists,
but the issue really depended upon the
vote in the workmen's quarters, espec-
tally in the Bellevllle, CharOnne St. Den
is and Courbevoie districts. The Boulang
lists predict the immediate fall of the
Floquet ministry, the dissolution of par
lament and a general election in March.
They also forecast rupture in the Radical
ranks and express the belief that forty
Radical deputies will join the BOulangist
party and thus give the general follow
ing of sixty members in the present
chamber. The project of police to-day
enlisted the services of large number of
householders to aid the police in main
tanning order. Troops were held i'll readi-
ness at various points and cavalry have
been ordered to patrol the streets and
dispeFse all gatherings. Municipal
guards line the boulevardS and III every
quarter the police and military are well
prepared to suppress an outbreak.
Gen. Boulanger, responding to an in
teryiew this afternoon, said he felt sure
his majority would be 60, 600. The gen
eral' s electoral organization is perfect.
His followers everywhere were instructed
to maintain order, otherwise they would
injure him. The excitement grew at s
0 clock, when tie returns showed Gen.
BoHlanger's majority to be 5000 in the
st. Denis district, and that he had polled
three times more votes than his opponent
in the Eighth ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The members of the government are
astounded at the result. Bets are freely
offered that the ministry viii resign to-
morrow.
Complete returns show the following
result: Boulanger, pa, O7O; Jacques,
lG2 $50; Bonnie, l6, go; other candi-
dates, 1Q,358; Boulanger's plurality,
81, $50; Boulanger's majority, "a ,432.
