Houlsngcr Elected.

An election for member OF the French
Chamber Of Deputies from the Department
of the Seine, including the city of Paris was
held yesterday.
Theday opened fine. and atsn early hour
the streets began to fill with people, the
general stir and hustle increasing as the
morning wore on. The Boulangerists were
everywhere first at the DIG voting places,
and displayed the greatest confidence in
their success. Their organization was per-
feet. Bou!anger had instructed them TO
maintain order, otherwise they would in
jure him. One enterpsising morning paper
engaged $50 special reporters, each of
whom was provided with cab, and 80 BIZ
cyclists to bring the results in each section
with the greatest possible speed. Troops
were held in readiness at vations points,
and cavalry pntroled the streets to disperso
all gatherings.
Complete returns show the following re-.
suit: Boulanger Oil 90 jacques 1G2 $50,
other candidates 2l,llS. Boulanger's
plurality 81 $50 Boulsnger's majority
81, 432.
When Bonanger was leaving in his car
rage after the announcement Of the result
he passed restaurant where friends of the
government were assembled. The latter
Kissed Loudly, and Boulanger's friends re-
piled by throwing stones. Every quarter of
Paris was enivened Saturday evening by
street brawis and number of persons were
injured.
Boulanger will now resign the Seine seat,
retaining that for the Nord department. IL
is rumored that II. Alsgnin, the governor Of
the Bank OF France, will be asked to form
Cabinet.
