ion. and NJ. MelIne, president OF the
chamber of deputies, in Semiremont in
the Vosges division. The BOulangists
have gained two seats. Millevaye de-
feating Goblet at Amiens and Count
GrefuIte being elected in Melun. NJ.
Flourens is elected in Embrun. There
are only five definite results in Paris.
One Republican, Brisson (whO defeated
Thibaudin, BOulangiSts), and four BOul-
angists. namely: Laguerre, Revest,
Farcy and St. Martin. OF eleven seats
in Pas de Calais the Republicans won
nine. In the other two districts in
BOulogne, where a Conservative and
Legitimist head the polls, second bal
lots are necessary. The wOrkmen in
the MOntmartre district deposited their
ballots early and departed Immediately
WITHOUT EXCHANGING VIEWS
with their fellow workmen. The de-
meanor of the electors throughout the
day was quiet. and there was no crowd
ing at the polls. After the closing OF
the urns there was some excitement in
various parts of the city, especially IN
tina bOurse quarter. Here the different
parties paraded the streets, the Bou-
langists singing popular refralnS.
There was great uproar at the ofhces
of the Presse, where an announcement
of BOulanger's alleged victory in Mont
martre was displayed on a transpar-
ency. The news was received with
mingled cheers and boots by the
rival cOntingents, and as row
seemed imminent, the police and
the mounted guards charged upon
and dispersed the crowd. Several
persons were arrested. NOtwithstand-
ing the fact that an electoral contest
was proceeding, the streets of Paris
early presented a deserted aspect. Rain
cleared the boulevards and kept people
within doors. The country visitors to
the exhibition left the city Saturday for
their respective departments to partici-
pate in the elections, leaving the differ

crowded than usual. Crowds of electors
have thronged the mairies for the last
two days, obtaining their voting papers.
1t is. therefore. considered improbable
that the prediction of
LARGE FALLING OFF
in the vote will be fulfilled. The vOt-

thronged, still perfect order prevailing.
The crowds were good-humOred, and
there was no apparent tendency to a
disturbance. The authorities had taken
precautions against riot. but there was
no display of force in the streets. Sol
diers were kept in readiness in the
barracks, and the police were messed
under cover at various points. with in
structiOns to remain inactive unless
compelled to interfere. The clergy
of Montmartre ordered prayers in BOu-
langer's favor. The BOulanger COM
mittee were in continuous secret ses-
sion directing the contest. There was
a riot at AvignOn. A crowd forced the
doors OF the building occupied by the
Boulangist committee, burned the vOt-
ing papers and set fire to the building.
Thence the crowd went to the Boulan-
