 SECOND VOTE VAS TAKEN.

Radicals Mounted Their Chairs and Shout l ed and Yelled Like Mad Men-The Bris-
 sonites Howled Until the Windows Shook
 With the Tumult
 | Versailles, Jan. 17-The national as- sembly, convoked in the Palace of Yer sailles for the purpose of electing a president to succeed M. Casimir-Perier, was called to order by M ChalmeI-La- cour, president of the senate. at. 1:1O p. m.
 The first ballot resulted as follows: Total number of votes 766; necessary to choice 3S3; Brisson 338, Faure 244s Waldeck- Rousseau 1S4
 M. Waldeck-R Rousseau announced that he withdrew from the contest in favor of Faure
 The scattering votes on the first ball. lot included for M. Moline, for Ms Dupuy, for M. Cavaignac, for M. Loubet and for Henri Rochefort.
 The second ballot was taken in semi- darkness and the galleries were in con- sequence almost emptied. The hall was very badly lighted and many of the | spectators, as well as a number of sen- ators and deputies, sought the better lighted Hobbies. At the indignation of M. Cavaignac bulletins were being dis- | tributed in the Hobbies in behalf of him. self, in the hope of making the running clear for M. Brisson by taking the wav- 1 orinp nf M e the belief of M. Cavaignac that he could l secure perhaps fifty votes which had been given to M Faure because of M Brisson's radical tendencies. Had he | succeeded in his scheme M. Brisson would have carried off the prize. | The second ballot, as revised, shows that 42S votes were cast for Faure and 363 for Brlsson.
 The announcement of the second bal- lot was made amid a terrible din. The Brissonites were so busy cheering and representing their neighbors that they paid no attention to Challemel-L -Lacour when he rose to read the figures. The presidents voice was quite inaudible, and his hands trembled violently It was five minutes before the members l knew the result. The scene was abso- | lulCly uCNOiO VI oOlO1tlll4Ly Ol CNOlt l nifty. The Brissonites, who had not once 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 elected by the right" The socialists ran up and down the aisles xxi+a J1n down with the Congo adventurers" down with the Panama scoundrels." Occasionally when the din subsided for moment the socialists would yell in an ear-splitting chorus: HHurrah for the social republic; "hurrah for the social revolution"
 Baudrey d'Asson, the Orleanist, had got a conspicuous place near Challemel- Lacour and with purple face and wav- ing arms proclaimed a hundred times that the presidency was useless and the republic must end. He eventually mounted the rostrum, but only to be met ther by the socialists Baudin, yiviani, Michelin and Toussaint, who, in defiance of him and the president of the assembly, protested against the exclusion of Girault- Richard and Mir man. The crowd outside was neither excited nor enthusiastic. tT waived without eagerness for the coming of the new president. The carriage which carried Casimir-Perier back to Paris some six months ago stood in the courtyard, with the artillery escort near by.
 The big palace clock struck as the president, who had been receiving nf1Nio1 nOV1 1o-,o 11ot -t, the Salle des Tombeaux between lines of soldiers with fixed bayonets. He was preceded by ushers and was fol- lowed by cabinet misinters. The crowd heard the beating of drums and saw the president come out lowing right and left, but it gave no sign of well come. There was an occasional hur- rah, but no attempt to raise a hearty cheer. Two men even shouted long live Brisson." Mounted dancers sur rounded the carriage after M. Faure entered it and escorted him to the station.
 There were half dozen cheers for Faure and two or three for Brisson when the president entered the train.
 The train was special one. It reached the St. Lazare station in Paris cNL OsuJ' iDy LlleIl lAllIc tllG n6WS Ol llid election had spread far and wide and vast throng had gathered in the Place du Havre outside the station. The president was received with few cries of Hong live Felix Faure," but there was no enthusiasm. He drove directly to the Elysee Palace.
 This evening the United Press saw a copy of a letter from the Duke of Orr leans. It was at best a manifesto It declares that he stands ready to step in and help the people the moment they call on him. The letter is generally rid- iculed.
 The police seized shortly before nid- night a special edition of the SoleiL which contained the letter The effort was superfluous as nobody was Buying the paper and the boulevards were as calm as the rest of the city. A Dover dispatch says the Duke of Orleans will return to London tomorrow morning.
