conventions party but he has kept out
of it's mud. He is an able speaker, ad-

three years He is native of Havre
and has the Norman cool-headedness
and acumen. He is outgoing Minister
of Marine and has an agreeable wife.
Both M. and Nine Waldeck-Rosseau

private carriage with champing horses
Brisson went by train. He is a tall,
grave man of sixty years of sweet, dig
nified presence and well-balanced mind.
His record is stainless. his integrity un-
swerving and his life consistent. He is
childless, guarantee against corrup-

circumstances being too tender parents

threat and brought 1870 royalists into
Parliament to Brisson's great injury.
LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
Paris and Versailles We're much less
excited to-day than in the four previous
presidential elections. When Carnot
was elected the population was SEEM
ingly on the brim of revolution against
Ferryism and in fever of BoulaHgist
agitation. Not mouse was stirring to-
day, the only noise being the echoes of
Casmir-Perier's slamming doors. There
was considerable deployment neverthe-
less of military force at the termini of
l.
the Versailles high road and about the
congress hall and palace generally. Po-
lice were numerous, The working
classes stood aloof, seemingly uninter-
ested. The Senate and House being at
the Palace of Luxemberg, most of the
Senators live on the south side of the
Seine. They went to Versailles from the
Mont Parnasse terminus. The Depu-
ties reside generally on the north side
of the river and travelled in special
trains from the st. Lazare station. The
trains were much less crowded than on
previous similar occasions. The whole
thing was so hurried that the Versailles
palace was imperfectly prepared for the
congress. Nothing was forgotten by
those charged to arrange for the con-
gress. There was even a small room
furnished with a bed, chairs. etc. to
serve as a prison for unruly members.
An architect told me that mile and
a half of passages and room floors had
been swept since noon yesterday.
All who came from Paris to the con-
gress lunched at the historical Reser-
voir hotel on the north side of the
palace. Every table was engaged The
walters were SO insufficient to the num-
bers that had to be served that the
guests had to go into the pantries and
kitchens and serve themselves. The
bable of conversation had the cheerful
ness of running water in the sunshine.
Faure's candidature was much spoken
of as likely to win supporters on every
side. Should waldeck-Rosseau be in a
hi fri
Faure. who would have the railway con-
ventionists. Casmir- -Perierists. Moder-
ates and Chauvinists, M. Faure being
for great naval preparations, and OPP
portunists and Rallies, who were hos
tile to the Anticlerical Brisson. Madame
Faure was spoken Of having been
a charming hostess at the Marine Min
istry.
WHY SOME VOTED FOR FAURE
In the corridors voting tickets for
Brisson. Waldeck-Rosseau and Faure
were handed to the electors. There was
great indecision as to the chance of a
second ballot. The Right had spoken
OF reserving itself for a second ballot to
vote for Brisson's strongest opponent
A friend told me that ne had made his
book Faure because he was better
than any one else. Every one feels that
he can deal with colonial and naval
matters develop maritime interests and
engage in a rivalry that will not be
sterile with England. This is of the
highest Importance. for if France wastes
in Indo-China. Madagascar and China
she will be an easy prey to Germany.
Faure is the first administrators in
France. Dupuy entered into these con.
