cARMAux WILL HAVE NONE OF IT
Attempts of M Jaurez to Make q
Speech Caused Fighting.

Carmaux, France. Nov. 29.--M. Jaurez,
the radical socialist deputy Of Carmaux.
and other socialist members of the
chamber attempted to address a mass
meeting at Carmaux today, but the whole
party was received with mingled Kisses
and cheers and were pelted with filth.
M. Jaurez was the champion OF the glass
workers In their great strike last year,
but he has fallen out OF favor with his
Carmaux constituents by the part he
took in the opening of new co-opara-
tive glass factory at Abb which the Car
maux workmen view as a rival company.
AS the time for the meeting arrived a
free fight occurred. and gen d'armes
had to clear the approaches. Several
persons were arrested, including the So
cialist ex-mayor M. Carlvin, whose face
was covered with blood. The uproar con-
tinued to so great an extent inside the
hall that M. Jaurez was unable to secure
hearing. and he quilted the platform
M. Pellatin, the deputy for AK, sue
ceeded In putting to a vote a declaration
that the committee was elected, but
shouts of Resign" "Out with Jaurez,'
prevented further business. There was
a wild tumult in the hall and the oppos-
| ing factions came to blows. Thereupon
| the commissary of police dissolved the
meeting and the gen darmes cleared the
| premises; mounted men outside kept the
| exits clear, the deputies getting a very
| mixed reception as they came out. They
returned to the club to a banquet, the
streets being patrolled.

TOWNSHIP CAST ONLY TWO VOTES.
Peculiar Circumstance Arising Out
of the Election In Kansas.

Topeka. Kan. Nov. 29.-According to
the official returns at the secretary OF
states office there was one township IN
Kansas where only two votes were cast
at the recent election. 1t was Garfield
township, in Seward county. One OF
the voters cast a straight republican bal
lot, while the other voted the populist
ticket straight. with the exception cf
county attorney. There was tie on all
other offices, and the candidates for
township offices cast lots to see VINO
would serve. Garfield township has 20
inhabitants. eight of whom are voters.
There are four populists and four re-
publicans.
On election day three Of the populists
paired off with the three republicans, and
the six did not vote. The other republi-
can wanted to pair off with the remain
ing populist, but the latter would not io
1t, because he had grudge against the
nominee of his own party for county at
torney, and said he wanted to vote FOL
the republican nominee. This necessitat- t
ell the casting Of two ballots, with The
result as stated above.
A regular voting precinct was main
tained, however the entire day, and five
of the eight voters received 50 each fol
serving as judges and clerks Of the elec
| ton.
