LONDON. Sept. 24.-General Boulanger
and his adherents, although keeping up ap-
pearances, are much discouraged by the
steadiness of the Republican feeling in
France as revealed last Sunday. They do
not seek publicity, and submit to only such
interviews as are unavoidable. The Gen.
eral will probably, after consultation with
his advisers. issue a statement in few
days, which will serve SIS platform for
the future rallying of his followers. So
long as the Bourbons and the Bonapartists
exist there will be Boulangers, whose func-
ti0n will be to attack the existing order in
the hope that in the confusion resulting from
its overthrow royalty or Imperialism
will be able to snatch the prize of ruler
ship. There is no danger, therefore, Of Bou-
langers disappearance from the political
held, unless some man can be found more
likely to turn the heads of the French
voters, and as yet no one has developed
such qualities as would make him for
midable rival of the General in the role of
cats-paw for the eantl-Republicans And as
the money of the Legtimists still holds out,
Boulanger Is not likely to suffer in pocket
though he has in prestage by Sundays
events.
In an interview to-day. General Boulan-
a majority in the new CHAM Der of Deputies.
He had not. however. lost faith in the fut-
ure. The government, he declared, had
everywhere stolen votes with raven-like
characteristics. The Republican majority,
would prove unmanageable, he said, and
the country would soon be calling him to
power.
A Paris dispatch says: For the first time
since Ferry's Ministry went under 1t seems
now possible to have majority in the
nominally, Republican, and which will
prefer France to faction. What the Re-
publicans gain in character the opposition
loses. A number of the best and most sensi-
accession of Boulangists to the reactionary
ranks only accentuates their loss This de-
feat of the Monarchist Deputies in the
north and west is the most curious Incl
dent of the election. The Republicans have
gained some fifteen seats in the old hide
bound Catholic departments of Finisterre,
Morbihan, Cotes du Nord Loire Inferiure.
Vendee and the two Charentes, and almost
as many more in Nord, Pas de Calais and
Voise. OF course something of this is now
due to the abandonment of scrutin de
iste. but still more 1t indicates the joint
effect of the triumphant exposition and the
unworthy intriguing by Comic de Paris
with BOulanger on the rural roy alist mind.
He may have forty members IN the new
Chamber nominally elected as his followers,
but they will be worse than useless as an
independent body, and as they can get no
terms whatever from the Royalists and as
Boulanger must cease to exist as political
entity they will gradually melt away.
Neither Boulanger nor Rochefort would be
admitted to the new,C Chamber, even if they
were elected in the ballotage, which is un-
likely. 1t is assumed that somebody will
promptly resign his seat in favor of Ferry
who is the only one of the party available.
The new Chamber of Deputies will be
summoned to meet in November. It is now
estimated that the supporters of the govern
ment will comprise three hundred moderate
Republicans and sixty-five members of the
Left

for the purpose of comforting with the
Count of Paris. M. Laguerre and NsQuet
have gone to London to meet General
Boulanger. The Chamber is certain to
annul the elections Of General Boulanger
and Count Dillon. In order to secure the
election of the Republican candidates
wherever possible on the second ballots in
the district in which two Republicans ran
Sunday the one who received the smaller
number of votes will retire in favor of one
who polled the greater number
