The president remained obdurate ana

At117 o'clock lots were drawn for thirty
six scrutators TO supervise the balloting
Then came the drawing of lots to see

Precisely as was the case last June. the
letter l. was drawn, and NJ. Labarthe.
moderate republican, was enabled for the
second time to begin the balloting for
president, he having begun the voting
when NJ. Casimir-Perer was elected last
June.
After this interest focused in the Hobbies,
where the members of the right were hold
fng caucus. The result Of the caucus
was decision to support NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau.
When the name of NJ. Mirman. socialist,
was called there was no response. that
deputy being a soldier, garrisoned at Vim
cennes, and the colonel of his regiment
having refused to grant him furlough. in
order that he might be present in the
assembly. The socialists raised tremen-
dous uproar because NJ. Mirman's vote
was not recorded.
Another cause of socialist fury is the
refusal of the government to temporarily
release Gerault Richard, who is in prison
for insulting President Casimir-Perier and

Deputy Carnaud, who was arrested in
Roanne on Tuesday was released to-day
and voted in the assembly, as did also
NJ. Rouant and NJ. Jaures, recently eX-
PEELED from the chamber.
When NJ. Toussaint, socialist. deposited
his vote in the urn he cried: "Vive la social
revolution" and when the name of NJ.
Avez. social revolutionlst, was called, he
refused to vote but shouted from his seat:
"Abstention means dissolution. Down with
the presidency"
NM. Brisson and Waldeck- Rousseau
both voted, and the venerable Pierre
Blanc. union republican. father of the
Chamber Of. Deputies. received an ova-
ton as he walked to the urn and deposited
his ballot.
The voting was a slow process. 1t was
conducted precisely as upon the occasion
of the election of NJ. Casimir-Perier last
June. each deputy and senator in response

progress the members of the assembly in
dulged in elecuoneering for their respect

and lasted until $3.50 o'clock. The count
ing revising, etc, of the votes required
another hour and the result was officially
announced at 4:3O as follows:

Total number of votes cast, 79i
Necessary to elect, 39S.
The scattering votes included six for
Meline. four for Dupuy two for Cavaig
nae. two for Loubet and one for Henri
Rochefort.
When the result of the vote was pro-
claimed the members again fell to cleo
tioneering and speculating on the outcome
of the second ballot. NJ. Brisson having
fallen sixty votes short of a sufficient
number to vote to elect him.
The open advocacy of the candidacy of
NJ Rrisson by the socialists hurt that gen
tlemans chances very much. over 100
conservatives, senators and deputies, di-
vided their vote between NJ. Faure and NJ.
Waldeck- Rousseau rather than cast them
with the socialists. whereas these votes
might for the greater part have gone to NJ
Brisson.
NJ. Millerand handed to President Chal-
lemel-Lacour a letter addressed to the
president of the national convention and
signed by Deputy Mirman protesting
against his detention in the barracks at
Vincennes and thus being prevented from
casting his vote for president, which he
was entitled to do. NJ. Miriam character
lied his treatment as contrary to all Pre-
cedents and declared that it was uncon-
stitutional.

S61-but they sufficed to show that Felix
Faure was the next President of France.
The scene was absolutely devoid of sol
emnity or dignity. The Brissonites, who
had not ceased bowling. were joined by
other malcontents and the windows were
fairly shaken by the indescribable tumult.
The radicals mounted chairs and benches,
shouting Down with this president-elect
by the Right"
The socialists ran up and down the
aisles bowling: Down with the thieves
Down with the Congo adventurers,'
Down with the Panama scoundrels.
Occasionally when the din subsidcd for
a moment the socialists would yell in an
ear-splitting chorus: "Hurrah for the so
cial 'republic." "Hurrah for the social
revolution
Baudry D'Asson. the Orleanist had got
a conspicuous place near NJ. Challemel-
I,acour. and, with purple face and way
ing arms. proclaimed a hundred times that
the presidency was useless and the re
public must end. He eventually mounted
the rostrum, but only to be met there by
the socialists Baudin, Niviani, Michelin
ana Toussaint, who. in defiance Of him
and the president of the assembly, pro
tested against the exclusion of Gerault'
Richard and Mirman.
The crowd outside was in strange con-

eagerness for the coming of the new pres

struck 8 as the new president, who had
been keceiving official CONGRATULATIONS

between lines of soldiers with fixed bayo-
nets. He was preceded by ushers and
was followed by the cabinet ministers.
The crowd heard the beating of drums and
saw the president come out, bowling right
