FBANCE ELECTS PAUL
HER NEW PRESIDENT A FIRM
REPUBLICAN.
Choke Made on the Second Ballot bj
aVote of 430 to 361 for M. Brlsson
?The Monarchist* and Socialist!
Create Great Commotion?Careei
of the New French Executive.
' M. Francois Felix Faure, Minister of Marine
In the present Cabinet, was elected on
the second ballot at Versailles, Franoe, to be '
President of the French Republic In succession
to M. Casimlr-Perier, who had resigned.
M. Faure polled 430 votes to 361 votes polled
by his nearest opponent, M. Henri Briason,
President of the Chamber of Deputies. The
Socialists protested violently when the result
of the ballot was made known.
This is a victory for the Moderate Republicans.
The result was brought about by
Walkeck-Rousseau withdrawing in favor of
Faure. Faure received 430 to BrJsson 361.
Two ballots were taken, the first being as
follows:
M. Henri Brisson. 338; M. Felix Faure,
344; M. Waldeok-Rousseau, 184.
The scattering vote on the first ballot ineluded
6 for M. Meline, 4 for M. Dupuy, 2
for M. Cavaignac, 2 for M. Loubet and 1 for
Henri Rochefort.
It was after this ballot that WaldeokRousseau
announced his withdrawal, when
the second ballot was taken, with the ahove
iwuna.
The open advocacy of the candidacy of M.
Brisson by the Socialists hart his chances
.ponsiderably.
Tbe National Assembly was called to order
by M. Challomel-Licour for the eleotlon of
a President of the Bapubllo at 1 o'clook*.
Imme (lately after the Joint body had assembled,
M. Michelln, Sooiilist, asked the
Chair it the National Assembly had been
called for the purpose of revising the oonsti?
lotion. ' e
M. de Baudry d'Asson protested against 3
the question, and demanded that he be '
heard in favor of the restoration or the B
monarchy, but he was not allowed to do so. *
When M. Toussaint, Socialist, deposited D
hie vote in the urn he cried: "Long live the
tocittl revolutionP* and when tbe name of 8
M. Avez, Social Revolutionist, was called he h
refused to vote, but shouted from his seat: t
"Abstention means dissolution*. Down with 8
tii" Presidency!"
When M. de Baudry d'Asson voted he c
shouted: "Long live Catholic France 1 ti
Long live the King!" o
The announcement of the second ballot c
was made amid a terrible din. The Brissonltes
, t?re so busy groaning, cheering and *
reproacnmt* tneir neignaors tnar tney pam P
bo attention to SI. Challemel-Lacour when P
he rose to read the figures. a
The President's voice wa?qui'e inaudible, H
and bis bands trembled violently. It was five a
minutes after hespoke before a) I members of t<
the Assembly knew the result. The figures d
generally known were then only approxi- h
mate?Faure, 430, and Brisson, 861?but
thoy sufficed to show that Folix Faure was
the new President of France.
Tbesoene was absolutely devoid of solemnity
or even dignity. The Briasonitea, E
who had not once ceased bowling, were
Joined by other malcontents, and the windows
were fairly shaken by the indescribable
tumult The Radicals mounted chairs ta
and benches, shonting: .
"Down with this President, elected by the
Bight!" eli
The Sooialists ran Up and down the aisles, ?
* howling:
"Down with the thieves!"
"Down with the Congo adventurers P
"Down with the Panama scoundrels!"
Occasionally when the din subsided for a
moment the Socialists would yell in an e&r plittlng
cborus:
"Hurrah for the Socialistic republic !*
'Hurrah'for the social revolution!"
Baudryd'Asson. tbe Orlmnist, had got &
conspicuous place near Challemel-Lacour.
and, with purple face and waving arms,
Tf roclaimod a hundred times tbat tbe Presidency
wns useless aud the republic must
nd. He eventually mounted the rostrum,
but only to be met there by the Socialists,
Baudin, Vivlanl, Michelin and Toussaint,
Who. in defiance of him and the President of >
the Assembly, rrotested against the exolu- ^
Ion of Gerault-Bichard ana Mirmun. '*
feWhile the voting was in prozress the
friends of M. Felix Faure were actively canvassing
lor votes, and with apparent success, >
vntil a rumor was started that he was a V
Protestant. This, for a time, had a bad effect
upon his candidacy; but a deputation
msianuy approacnea xn. raure ana questioned
him upon his religious persuasion.
M. Pfture, who was greatly excited, said, in
y reply to a question: "No; I am a Catholic." <
This reassured his supporters. gu
The crowd outside was in strange oontrast 33
to tb? Assembly. It was neither excited nor rc
nthuslastic. It waited without eagerness cc
Sor the coming of tbe new President. Re
The investure of tbe new President with
kis ofBoial powers took plnce in the library
f the Versailles Palace. It consisted merely
to M. Challemel-Lacour's reading to him the
minutes of the Assembly.
* M. Faure was met at the St. Lazare station
by General Meroler, Minister of War,"
ud M. Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
and was accompanied by them to .
tkeElysee in Paris. Tbe palace was bril- ot
antly lighted, and usbers in gala livery St
tood at the doors. M. Gaslmlr-Perier flv
welcomed and congratulated his sueces
or. Premier Dupny then presented the
resignation of the Oabinet. M. F?nre returned
to the Ministry of Marine for the
Bight. His youngest daughter. Lucie, met ??
fcim at the door of his apartments, and threw "e
ker arms round his neck, kissing him and |
Tying r:peatedly, ''I am so happy, papa I" K(
The crowd outside the Ministry cheered
With considerable fervor and M. Faure was ra
E-suaded by friends to show himself on the tn
oony. He was received with genuine en- _
. thus Las m.
M. Faure has a tall, Imposing figure, or
whose lines show the training he got in early re
life as a mechanic. Although a millionaire et(
shipowner, he hns simple tastes. His election
is a blow to the protectionist party. ?r'
Tne substitution of reciprocity treaties for
tbe Meline tariff is only a question of time.
V. Meline's newspaper organ. La Repub- dr
Bqne Francnise, admitted that Faure's elec- ac
Won would mean the same as a tariff reform.
Hi? result of tbe election is received en- Pa
tboslastieally in Lyons. an
When the report of the scene in the
Chamber ot Deputies on the occasion ol P"
the reading of the President's message of
resignation reaohed the Pa1ao9 of the 161
Elysee, M. Casimir-Perler broke down and
rled bitterly. His physican says he will
red several months of absolute rest before
' fee will be the same man he was when he
was elected President last June.

le mob had been growing in size all the: fl<

time a disposition toout wires, and in
spay successfully crippled saveral lines.,
e utter failure of the companies to sueuliy
operate their lines, even with the ^
tance of all the protection they had deled
and secured, tended to anger Mayor
;ren and the city authorities generally,
ras considered not unlikely that the
>r, in case of continued failure on the
of the companies, would take steps for
.nnulment of their charters.
e complete failure of the Brooklyn au[fles
to handle the big trolley strike
with the assistance of the Second Brig)f
the State National Ouard, culminated
10 night following the bayonet charge in
I upon the State for further aid. Mayor
aren, after consultation with civic and
ary authorities, telegraphed Governor, /
on, who promptly ordered out the First f

a consequence, all the troops of New
; City, consisting of five regiments and
battalions of Infantry, two batteries ot
ery, one cavalry troop and the naval
ve. were ordered under arms by
>ral Fitzgerald, commanding the First _
ade, and a portion of them were j.,

ooklyn thus took on the appearance of a '
ary camp. The town bristled with
nets, armed men went about h?r streets ^'

First Brigade numbers 4700 men. Thus
troops were ordered lor duty in the

e Mayor of Brooklyn saw the leaders o' the
itrikers and got from them a glad cod- yo;
to arbitrate. Then he sent for the .
ers of the trolley corporations. Led mli

sides the enormous loss in reoalpta and
ages to the companies and the strikers, tf/e
?t of the military alone was some $16,0^0
day, of wtiioh Kintra County and the- State
lar nearly equal shares.
The most serious olash of the day between
ie troops and police on one side and the
rlkers on tne other oc;urred at Myrtle and
ates avenues at about 6.30 p. m.
Three companies of the Seventh Regiment, j
! New York City, under Major Kip, were
icortlcg the first car that left the aldgeood
depot since the strike when th6y were
tacked by a mob. They drew their revolsra
nnd fired into the crowd.
There was a return lire immediately from
le mob, who sent a scattering volley. Prlite
Ennis. of Company H, was wounded by
pistol shot. Six members of Company &
ere Injured by stones. Captain Dunn, of
te Fourteenth Preoinct, was badly bat>
red by the strikers. George Mohrman, paolman,
of the Twentieth Preoinct, was
jaten by strikers and sent to the hospital,
our strikers were wounded and carried
vay by friends. So far as known, thfrt^m
arsons were Injured in the battle.
The cor whlon was the cause of all the dlfsulty
had to be defended all the way down
ates to Stuyresant avenue. At almost
rery corner It was awaited by mobs, and
le police fired their pistols, and finally the
oops fired their muskets into the air to
sep Off the strikers. ' *
On the ninth day of the great Brooklyn
oliey car strike the railroad coaponlee
loceeded in starting a few more cars than
i any day since the strike began, although
was only done under full protection from.
ie soldiers and police, and there was more
irlous rioting than on any day yet.
Colonel Appleton; of the Seventh Begient,
led in person a charge upon a mob
! stone throwers. be gave them
nple time and warning to get out
! the way. They preferred cold steel
id they got what they bargained tor. They
ithered again and there was more trouble,
suiting in two men being shot by a soldier.

reet, New York City, received a bulletin

ortal. He dropped in his tracks, and was
eked up and later removed to St. Mary's
ospltal.
Richard Mitchell, car starter at the stable
; Halsey street, below Broadway, where
ie shooting occurred, received tho other
illets. One caused a compound fracture of
>rh bones of the right arm and the other a
?h wound in the left.
The whole situation In Brooklyn was
tanged by the calling out on a strike of all
e trolley linemen In the city by Master
orkman Connelly. This rendered a nituajnf
already serious enough, very critical,
tie railroad companies were placed cometely
at the mercy of the strikers, since
few cut wires, with no linemen to repnlr
em, would serve to paralyze the entire
llroad system of Brooklyn. .
In accordance with instructions from Govnor
Morton. Adjutant General E. A. McIpln
visited Brooklyn for a few hours to inrm
himself nsto the exact condition of tho
rike. He was accompanied by Colonel
aryln, the Governor's military Secretary,
ley returned to Albany In the evening to
Lvise the Governor about the calling out of
ore troops.
The tenth day's history of Brooklyn's great
olley strike, like Its predecessor, waswrlcn
with a trail of blood. There were more
illets and bricks, and one man, Thomas
*rnoj, a roofer, of No. 481 Union street,
as fntnliv wounded. Tho Greatest trouble
as in Hicks street, near Harrison. B>
;vinp that there would be trouble, thetf
ty and military authorities sent the entire
airteenth Regiment, commanded by Collel
Austin and MHjors Luscotnb and Coctine,
and numbering over COO men, as an
cort for the first car. The oar started
3m the Butler street carhouses about 3
slock in the afternoon, and on Its way
>wn it met *4 bombardment. From
Indows ' ani housetops were thrown
icks and stones. Qnickly the word was
issed along to shoot at the windows whener
opened. The rifles of the sharpshoots
began cracking angrily. When the troons
ached the vicinity of No. 444 Hicks street,
irney, who, with a fellow workman, had
en working on the roof of that number,
spped forward to the edge of the roof.
2rack!" went a sharpshooter's rifle, and
irney fell backward, fatally wounded. His
Llow workman said afterward that Carney
ered from the roof merelyout of curiosity,
te soldiers say he was a brick-thrower,
are cars were run than on any day previous,
most every important surface artery was
*-n. The linemen qait work on all the
ads involved in the strike.
