feat the government has ever suffered in
Paris. The Ministerialists lost four seats
and another new constituency was won by
the Nationalsts. The deputies elected in
clude NM. Millevoye CNstionalisD, George

Polling began at o'clock this morning
and closed at 6 o'clock this evening The
total number of candidates was 2,515. Of
this number 353 stood in the Department of
the Seine. A drenching rain in Paris did
booths. The poll everywhere was about
20 per cent heavier than at the last cleo
ton.
The rain ceased I'm the evening and i'm
mense crowds gathered on the boulevards
in front of the newspaper offices, where,
Notwithstanding the prohibition of the po-
lice, Illuminated sheets were displayed
upon which the results of the elections were
flashed Immediately they were received.
No disturbance worth mentioning occurred
anywhere in the city. During the day the
authorities took stringent precautions to
cope with possible disorders, and strong
bodies of police kept the crowds in motion.
The entire republican guard was quartered
in the various public buildings.
Dense crowds, composed chiefly OF Ma
tionalists, assembled in front of the Of
fees of the Libre Parole, the Gaulois and
the Echo de Paris. and greeted the first
election announcements. which included
three Nationalist victories in Paris with
tremendous cheering. Nj. Millerard. Radi-
cal Socialist, who stood for reelection in
one of the districts of Paris failed TO secure
his election on the first ballot his Nation
alist opponent running him close through
out. If the votes recorded by the anti
ministerialistS and the Socialists are trans
ferred to NJ Millerand on the second bal
lot. to be held May II, he is certain to be
reelected.

chamber are NM. Delcasse, Radical, De-
partment of Ariogo: CailauX, Republican,

Two ministers-M. Minerand. the minister
of commerce, and NJ. Leygues, the minister
of public instruction-await reballots. which
most probably will be favorable. The Drey-
fus champion, Joseph Reinach, whose re-
appearance in political life was one of the
features of the elections, headed the poll
in his district in the Department of Basses-
Alpes He will probably be elected on a
reballot by the transference of the votes
given to the competing Republican candi-
date.
