ditional. If other strong men enter the
contest, then Perkins may gain little or
nothing from votes of men not of his po-
litical faith. 1t is said that De Young will
get good Democratic vote, especially from
the San Francisco delegation, in the event
Of other Democrats casting their ballots
for Perkins. This much is assured. The
Democrats, unless speedy change takes
place, will not hold together.
The Perkins people in the Legislature
are making estimates of their strength to-
night, and some of them predict the cleo
ton of their man on the first ballot next
Tuesday. This confidence springs from a
statement that three Democrats will vote
with fifty-eight Republicans for Perkins.
w. B. Hamilton, Perkins manager, still
expresses confidence that ffty-eight Re-
publicans will vote for Perkins He says
that many have promised and no word
has been received that any one of the num-
Der has changed his mind. Some forty or
fifty estimates made for THE CALL by as
many members of the Legislature show a
wide discrepance in the guesses, although
ffty-eight is the highest number of Re-
publicans figured for Perkins. Some
reckon as low as forty, which is five less
than the number in the Perkins caucus.

strations upon the part of the pub
lie. Several members of the diplomatic
corps travelled on the same train. NJ. Car
anaud, the Socialist Deputy, who was re-
Gently imprisoned at Roanne for melting
workmen to strike, was released last even
ing and arrived here just before the Min
listers.
By the time for opening the National AS
sembly approached all the streets leading
to the Palace of Versailles were thronged
with animated crowds. When the Cabinet
Ministers arrived at the palace NJ. Dupuy,
the Premier, was heard to declare to several
of his friends that he was not Presiden-
tial candidate. In the lobbies of the Sale
du Congress the greatest uncertainty pre-
vailed in regard to the result, although
there seemed to be decided impression
that NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau would be
elected. Voting tickets with the names of
M. Waldeck- Rousseau, Brisson, Faure and
Meline, the Protectionist leader, were
everywhere being distributed by the active
managers of their campaigns. During the
morning it was stated that the members of
the right had decided to oppose the candi-
dacy of M. Brisson to the utmost. The
latter reached Versailles at 80 P. NJ and
went directly to the palace, where he was
warmly received by his many friends. M.
Waldeck- Rousseau drove from Paris, ac-
companied by his wife, and he also met
with a warm welcome from his friends
when he reached the Sale du Congress.
No party meetings were held this morn
ing, but prior to the opening of the Ma
tional Assembly large number of Depu-
ties took lunch together, according to
the usual custom upon the occasion of an
election of President.
A large force of troops occupied the rail-
road stations, and at other points guards
were posted throughout the palace and the
streets were lined with gendarmes. The
tribunes in the Sale du Congress were
filled long before l o'clock. The ladies
were in the majority among those in the
gallery set apart for the diplomatic corps
NJ. Challemel-Lacour, President of the
Senate, the presiding officer of the Ma
tional Assembly, called the Senators and
the members of the Chamber of Deputies
to order at l P. NJ, and the proceedings
proper opened at lilo P. NJ. when Challemel-
Lacour read the articles of the constitution
which applied to the case. Then there was
a scene of considerable excitement, Deputies
from all parts of the hall springing to their
feet and demanding to be heard. For in
stance, NJ. Henri Michelin, revisionist,
asked leave to address the Assembly with
the object of recommending the convoca-
ton of constitutional assembly for the
revision of the present constitution.
M. de Baudry d'Asson, monarchist and
reyolutionist, who as result of his inter-
ruptions, has repeatedly been the object of
vigorous measures on the part of the Pres
ident of the Chamber of Deputies, de-

he Golden Eagle tonight he remarked
nat they had not even discussed the Sena-
rorial question during the evening. De
Young was confident that he had his orig
inal strength. The De Young men do not
venture to announce what original strength
he did possess.
For short time in the Assembly to-
morrow the Senatorial contest will be OF
small consequence in comparison with an
other subject. 1t has been discovered that
the Committee on Attaches in awarding
patronage on the territorial plan has ac-
credited to Alameda County three persons
who were not recommended by the Ala
media delegation, and of whose antecedents
and residence the Alameda members are in
profound ignorance. Judge Waymire is
expected to speak his mind on the subject
and refer by name to deserving Alameda
people who have been ignored to make
warm places for strangers.
1t is a sure go, says Speaker Lynch, that
the Assembly standing committees will be
announced tomorrow morning. Pendleton
is said to be on the list for the chairman
ship of the Committee on Corporations. He
has made long and hard fight for the
prize. Joe McAuliffe, the ex-prize fighter,
is on the payroll of the Senate. He was
appointed file clerk to-day.

| NJ. Challemel-Lacouro ordered that second
ballot be taken. Soon after this it was an
nounced that NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau had
retired in favor of NJ. Felix Faure.
| During the balloting when the name of
Avez was called an Allemanist Deputy
shouted: "Down with the Presidency; let
US have dissolution; stop voting"
This was regarded as an indication that
the Allemanist group, contrary to general
| expectation, voted against M. Brisson.
| While the voting was in progress the
| friends of M. Felix Faure were actively
canvassing for votes and with apparent
success, until a rumor was started that he
was Protestant. This had a bad effect
upon his candidacy, but a deputation in
stantly approached and questioned NJ.
Faure upon the subject. The latter, who
was greatly excited, retorted, ''No, am
| Catholic" This assertion reassured his sup
porters.
| The casting of the second ballot began at
4:40 P. NJ. After depositing their first bal
lots the Deputies assembled in the Galerie
! des Deputies, which was crowded. M.
! Pelletan, editor of La Justice, was the
center of an excited throng, who were We
hemently protesting against the absence of
| NJ Mirman, who, as already noted, is serv-
| ing in the army. NJ. Richard shouted:
| ''This election is Illegal" M. Jaures, the
Socialist leader was also the center of
group of excited Deputies. He explained
to them that he had voted for NJ. Brisson,
as the Socialists wanted an armistice and
were desirous of proving that their party
was one of organization and work. 1t was
said that if M. Brisson was not elected the
! Socialists would recommence their struggle
against the Government.
/ The name of M. Feberot, advanced So
cialist, being called, he declared that he
was opposed to the Presidency and de-
manded that the Ministers be held respon-
| sible for the crimes they had committed.
| This caused further disturbance, but the
greatest uproar occurred when the usher
| omitted the name of NJ Gerault-Richard,
who is undergoing imprisonment for writ
| ing an article insulting to NJ. Casimir-
Perier. The Socialists rose en- masse, and
NJ. Jaures shouted: "All the Deputies
ought to be inscribed on the list of men,
bers of this Congress. You are robbing
the country of universal suffrage"
M. Challemel-Lacour tried to say some
thing in reply, but his voice was inaudible
amid the Socialist tumult. The ushers
nevertheless continued the rollcall, and the
work of casting the second ballot proceeded
with less turbulence.
The Allemanists, it became known dur
ing the progress of the second balloting,
had come to the Congress to vote for NJ.
Brisson, and this determination was re-
garded as being an important movement
in his favor and one which greatly in
creased his chances of election.
At 7:15 P. NJ. Lacour ascended the

not even considered in the storm of objec-
tions which arose. Bachman declared
that he would not pledge himself, since the
conference might decide to nominate a
railroad Democrat.
~ shall vote for Democrat" said Bach
man, "but he must not wear any railroad
collar. 1 am pledged as an anti-railroad
man and l shall vote for an anti-railroad
Democrat"
Senator Biggy raised point on the
ruling of the chair, but nothing could be
accomplished. Then it was sought to call
a caucus at a later day, but the members
present refused to submit to such a propo-
sition The best that could be accom-
plished was an agreement not to caucus,
but another limited conference viii be held
on Monday night.
1t is stated on good authority tonight
that Democratic legislator said to-day if
thel fight for the senatorship narrowed
down to De Young and Perkins there
would be dozen Democratic votes for the
latter, but if other men came into the fight
then this Democratic strength would not
go TO Perkins.
With all this apparent gain for Perkins,
there is a strong belief tonight that he
cannot be nominated. The Neff boom has
started, and a rally for the president of the
Miners Association is planned. If Perkins
fails on the first ballot, it is generally be-
ieved that there will be break for Neff,
particularly from the mining sections OF
the State. The promises of support for
Perkins from Democratic sources are con-
