Paris May 6.-The results thus far announced
in the general parliamentary elections which
were held to-day show few changes in the
Chamber. most OF the former deputies being
reelected. but an extraordinary number of Sec
ond ballots will be necessary in Paris The pres.
ent ballot gives the Opposition a majority. but
the second ballot, which wiz be taken on May
20. is expected 70 repeat the result Of the 1902
election. when the representation Of the capital
was equally divided.
It is estimated that there was a record poll of
votes Owing to the excitement caused by the
recent strike and the disorders caused by the
taking Of inventories Of church property, the
polling booths were guarded by military and
police, but the day passed practically without
incident and Intervention by the authorities
was unnecessary.
Great crowds this evening surrounded the
Hotel de Vile. the Ministry of the Interior and
the newspaper offices, cheering or hooting when
the returns were posted. The success Of prom
