FOREIGN BUDGET.
Battle of the Ballots in La
Belle France.
RESULT SOMEWHAT INDECIsIvE.
Falling Off in Boulangist Strength.
Republican Gains-ReballOt-
ing Necessary.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

correspondent OF tne Ddaty NeWS com.
ments on the success of the voting in
France. He thinks there has been a
great relative falling off in the power of
the Boulangist party since January. He
predicts that both Boulsnger and Naquet
will be defeated in second ballots and
says four-ffths of the re-ballots are likely
to result in favor of the Republicans.
All the correspondents of the London
dwell upon the gravity dis
played by the electors. The Govern
ment has left to the Mayors discretion
to declare null and void all votes cast for
the condemned Boulangists' ballots.
The Reactionists and Boulangists com.
bined will be far from having the strength
they expected. .
THE GOVERNMENT woRsTRD.
The Standards Paris dispatch says the
prevailing impression is that the Gov
eminent is worsted, and that there will
be severe struggle in second ballots.
THE ELECTORAL STRUGGLE.
PARIS, September 22.-Notwithstand-

proceeding, the streets of Paris early to.
day presented q deserted appearance.
AS prelude rain cleared the boulevards
and kept the people within doors. The
country visitors to the Exhibition left the
city yesterday for their respective De-
partments to participate in the elections,
leaving the different sections of the Elk.
hibition less crowded than usual. Gro wds
of electors have thronged the Mairies for
the last two days obtaining voting papers.
1t is therefore considered improbable
that the prediction of large falling in
vote will be fulfilled. Voting began at 8
q. m.
The partisans' electoral of the different
parties kept assiduous watch over the
electoral urns. There was no excitement
or hustle anywhere. kilograms from
the provinces report equal tranquility.
After o'clock the polling places were
thronged, still perfect order prevailed.
The crowds were good humored and
there was no apparent tendency to dis
turbance. The authorities had taken
elaborate
PROBATION AGAINST RIOT,
but there was no display of force in the
streets. Soldiers were kept in readiness
in the barracks, and police were massed
under cover at various points, with in
structions to remain inactive unless COM
PEELED to interfere. The clergy of Mont
marek ordered prayers in Boulangsr's
favor.
There was riot at Avignon. A crowd
forced the doors of a building occupied
by the Boulangist committee, burned
tho unfin~ H.
the Boulangist Club, broke in the doors,
wrecked the furniture and drove out the
members.
RETURNS COMING IN.
II p. m.-Boulauger has been elected
at Montmartre in the First Seine Dis
trict. Another ballot will be necessary,
no candidate having received the requi-
site majority. In st. George, Pantheon
and Faubourg st. Honore Districts an.
other ballo. will be taken.
Returns from the provinces are coming
in slowly. Thevenet, Minister of
Justice, is elected in the Second District
of Lyons. In the other divisions of
Lyons second ballot will be necessary.
In all the divisions of Bordeaux second
ballots will have to be taken. In the
First District of Havre, Siegfeld (Re-
publican) defeated Marchand (Boulan-
gist.)
AN UPROAR IN MONTMARTRE.
There was great uproar at the offices
OF the PresSe of Montmartre where the
announcement of Boulanger's victory
in Montmartre was displayed on trans
parency. The news was received with
mingled cheers and boots by rival con-
tingents, and as row seemed imminent
the police and mounted guards charged
upon it and dispersed the crowd. Several
persons were arrested.
FURTHER RETURNS.
PARIS, September %, a. m.-Minis-
ter OF Finance Rouvier has been elected
in Grasse and in the Alps Maritimes
Divisions, and NJ. Meline, President of
the Chamber OF Deputies, in the Vosges
Division.
The Boulangists have gained two
seats. There are only six definite re-
suits in Paris-one Republican, Brisson,
who defeated Theaubadean (Boulangist),
and five Boulangists, namely, Boulanger,
Lsguerre,. Reveste, Farey and st.
Martin being elected. OF eleven
seats in Pas de Calais, the
Republicans won nine. In the
other two districts in Boulogne where the
Conservative and Legitimists had the
polls, second ballots are necessary. Re-
turns up to this hour show the election
of n Republicans and 80 anti Republic
cans, the latter including the Division
lists, Boulangists and Conservatives. So
far 81 re-ballots are necessary.
RE'BALLoT NECESSARY IN MoNTMARTRE.
2 q. nm. Fleurens is elected in
Embrum. The Prefecture of the Seine
has issued official figures of the result in
Montmartre as follows: Registered
electors, 1913; voters, IL 1856; blank
voting papers, 2,494. Boulanger re.
ceived $3.50 votes. According to these
figures second ballot will be necessary
in Montmartre. The result probably
can be accounted for by the number Of
blank votes.
2:30 a. m.-The results up to this hour
show that the Republicans elected 80;
Anti Republicans, So; re-ballots neces-
sary. SO.
INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLE.
In the Montmartre District there was
a free display of placards representing
Boulanger on horseback, tram ping upon
the corpses of workmen, and inscribed
"Murder of Communists.
Most of the foreign diplomatic repre-
sentatives made it point to be in Paris
during the election. Notable exceptions
