WIS sentenced to be hanged, are re-
sponsible for their publication. They

sponsible for the organization of the
plot and holders of important posts
under the present government are i'm
plicated. The name of Count Ignatieff

ELECTION INVALIDATED.
Count Boni De CastelIane of Paris Not
Member Of House.

Paris, Nov. 9.-After an exciting de-
bate the Chamber of Deputies. Friday,
by 27S to 235 votes invallidated the cleo
ticn of Count Boni De Castellane as a
member of the House.
The question came up when the COM
mittee on contested elections presented
its report without recommendation,
leaving the Chamber to pass on the
question. Emile Cauvin made a bitter
attack on Count De Castellane, declar-
ing he had been guilty of irregularities
and saying that the count had accused
his opponent Of being of German de-
scent and a Drevfusard. Count De
Castellane replied. chasing the charges
as false. He said he had been accused
of buying the election and practising
charity for election purposes. Nothing
of the kind had ever been proved. he
declared. and closed his defence with
an appeal to the Chamber to uphold his
election.
The vote was then taken. The result
of the vote necessitated another cleo
ton in the Bases Alps district repre-
scented by Count Boni.
When the President of the Chamber
announced the result of the vote. Count
Boni arose and started for the door.
His friends crowded around him shak-
ing his hand.
The business of the Chamber was
suspended temporarily while the count
was escorted to the exit. Just before
he left the Chamber he turned and
shouted defiantly: Gentlemen, / will
be with you again"
