Serious but Not Dull, Firm but Con-

LONDON, January 1S.-A Paris dispatch
to the Daily News says: President Faure
Is moderate; but, unlike Casimir-Perier or
Waldeck-Rousseau, he will have no preju-
dice against calling radicals to office when
ever they have a majority. NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau would have dissolved the cham
ber. This accounts for his defeat.
NJ. Faure, on the contrary, will try to
agree with the chamber In many respects
he will be a president like Carnot-that is
to say, without angles. He Is fast friend

Professionalism Is not narrow, since his

France has ever had, for Henry ~ mount

southern fuency and Imagination, with the
hard head and practical sense or the NOR

neutral, but in fast hues. He has grav-

is so free from conceit that he can agree

ORLEANS RETURNS TOLONDON

PARIS, January 1S.--The election Of NJ.
Felix Faure to the presidency of the French
republic has been well received by the mod
crate press. and Is violently criticised by
the radical and socialist newspapers.
The Journal Des Debats says 1t Is graf
ifed at the defeat Of NJ. Brisson. and that
In electing NJ. Faure, who Is a man OF
liberal and moderate mind and clear, sound
| intellect, the national assembly placed the
destinios Of France in good hands.
The Radical Is Of the opinion that the
| election leaves matters in the condition OF
uncertainty and instability from which the
republic Is suffering.
NJ Millerand, the socialist deputy, and
editor Of the Petite Republique. says In his
| newspaper this morning that NJ. Faure is
| not president. but a mere supernumerary,
adding: THE socialist party cannot be
disturbed by the election of man who has
| neither individuality of character nor par
ticular worth"
The Lanterne predicts the beginning of
an era of violent reaction, and adds:
where Casimir-Perier failed Faure will
| also fail. We shall return to Versailles be-
fore the year expires"
Paris was very tranquil last night. The
bouevards were no more crowded than
usual and the suburbs were not excited.
The working classes were aStonished at NJ.
BriSSOnS defeat, but no demonstrations
were reported. The entire police force was
held in readiness for an emergency, but
their services were not required for any
thing further than the usual police duties.
A meeting of socialists and others took
place yesterday evening at the Maison Du
Peuple. at which number OF exciting
speeches were made. Resolutions strongly
condemning NJ. Felix Faure were adopted,
| and other resolutions demanding the sup
preston of the presidency were passed
amid cries of "Vive la revolution socialer'
Down with reaction!
The staff of the ministry of marine call
ed upon President Faure today and bid
farewell to him as their late chief The
president then went to the Elysee Palace.
where he was received with military hon
ors, and took possession of the rooms pre-
viously occupied by NJ. Casmir-Perier.
The new president. however, will not take
up his official residence until Wednesday
next.
President Faure has received numbers Of
kilograms from all parts of France con-
graduating him upon his election.
During the afternoon the President called
upon Nine. Carnot. widow Of the late Pres
ident Carnot, and he then received the WIS.,
Its of the presidents OF the senate and of

DEATH LIST GROWING.
Already Fifty-Three Victims of the
Butte Disaster.

Butte Disaster.
BUTTE, Mont, January 1s.-Hour after
hour the giant powder disaster has been
putting on more distressing proportions.
The list of the known dead has swelled to
hfty-three, and there are at least four In
the hospitals who cannot recover. These
are John Sloan, Charles Ashton, William
Miles and William Bow. Others are also
believed to be fatally injured.
To the list of missing the name OF Chas.
Hoffbauer was today added. A few hours
before the explosion he was up town and
purchased a pair of shoes. and on his way
home he stopped at the fire. One shoe,
badly torn, of tho new ones he had under
his arm has been found a mile from the
scene of the catastrophe, but not frag-
ment of his body has been found. There
Is no doubt that many others were blown
to atoms who will never be heard of.
Among the debris was found number of
letters addressed to William Moffatt. 453
Fremont street. Boston. The letters were
from Canada and signed Ambrose Allen.
1t Is supposed he is among the victims.
Every hour also brings additional reports
of the injured. Fully one hundred have
been heard from. many of them being in
a serious condition. The flashes and con-
cussion Of the explosion was severely felt

Frances Lucky Escape From the
Threatened Peril.
LONDON, January 1S.-A dispatch to the
Times frcm Paris says that once more
France has emerged without a shipwreck
from one of the most unforeseen and
threatening storms that ever assailed her.
The contest was severe. NJ. Brisson Sc
cured the largest poll obtained by an un-
successful candidate in tw enty years. This
is proof of the tenacity with which the
two opposing forces defended their posi-
ticn.
The dispatch comments on the surprises
of French politics. 1t says that NJ. Faure
was expected to play NJ. Waldeck-Ros-
seaus game, but is himself elected. The
moderates chose two names almost at ran
dem. NJ. Waldeck-Rosseau was chosen be-
cause II was supposed that NJ. Ca5imir-
Perier would later have invited him to
form a cabinet, ard NJ. Faure was chosen
because q week ago he was pressed to
stand against NJ. Brisson for the presi-
dency of the chamber of deputies.
So much do things go by chance that NJ.
Faure, who did not venture to contest the
presidency of the chamber with NJ. Bris-
son, won the chief magistracy against him.
The royalists today showed themselves
wiser than when tney opposed NJ. Casimir-
Perier'S candidature. They had no caEGi-
date. By the death of the Count of Paris
head, for tie youth Of the Duke of Or
leans prevents him from seriously playing
this role, and these who were obedient
supporters of his father. and who will per-
haps one day be his own, today follow the
behests Of only their own consciences. Yet

In order not to vote for the exile Of the

against the exile.

fulfill his functions with great gratitude
to those who elected him. He will suffer
attacks and insults as a set-off to the
honor of his post. He will scrupulously
conform to the will of the chamber, with
cut personal repugnance and without eny
ambition of widening his sphere of influ-
ence. He is likely to be a second Carnot,
but more gracious. smiling and attractive
In an editorial the Times says: France
and Europe have been preserved from the
gravest dangers arising from NJ. Casimir-
Perier's sudden desertion of his post. NJ.
Faure has two things in his favor. The
royalists who opposed Casimir-Perier have
awakened to a truer conception of their
duty. The conduct of the Duke Of Or
leans affords an agreeable contrast to
that of the Count of Paris, and affords the
hope that even the reactionaries have
been at last frightened by the progress
of the common enemies of civilization.
The second point Is the enthusiastic re-
ception the Parisians have given the new
president. showing that they appreciate his
self-sacrifce."
In an editorial the Standard says that
NJ Faure represents nothing but the i'm
potence of moderate republicanism. The
rabid rage of the socialists in the assem-
