A Grave Matter Governs" lavolvest Conflicting Reports. London. Sept. 21. The Paris corres pondents of the London pros describe the interest shown invyesUrdayV election as the most central. ever noticed en any of th kind. 'Tka toia!ar feeling in. French capital' is 'that a genuine crisis has been reached. A common remark i ia"' t yesterdny was the most important for i France s-nce tbe day of Sedan. The anxietv to obtnin returns Indicat ing the rer.ult throughout the provinces m -. A - -e the expression of the popular will; and in this respect it differs from many previous French elections, which wero merely tho registration by the pp'e of a result al ready achievoJ by thair lenders. The Paris correspondent of tho Daily News comments on tho seriousness of the voting in France. H think there has been a great relative fall in the power of the Boulangists since January. II pre dicts that both Bmlanger ami Naquet will be defeated in the second ballots and that four-fifths of the re-ballots ure likely to result in favor of Republicans. All the correspondents of the London newpipers dwell upon the gravity displayed by the electors. Th-j Government left it to the mayors' discretion to declare void and null all votes cast for the condemned Boulangists. The Paris correspondent of tbe Times comes to the conclusion that on the second ballots tbe reactionaries and Boulangists combined will be far from having tbe strength they expected. The Standard's Paris dispatch says the pre vailing impression is that the Governnvnt is worsted and there will be a severe struggle in the second ballots. There was a riot at Aringu. A crowd forced tho doors of the building occupied by tbe Boulangist committee, burned tbe voting papers and set fire to the building. Thence the crowd went to the Boulangist club, broke in the doors, wrecked the fur niture and drove out the mo tubers. Reports from Montmartre say that even the defeat of Boulanger is possible, al though his supporters are using every means to secure his return. Tbe clergy of Montmartre ordered prayers in bis fa vor. The Boulanger committee was in continuous secret session directing the contest. The workmen in the Montmartre district deposited their billots early and departed immediately without exchanging views with their fellow workmen. The de meanor of the electors was quiet and there was no crowding at the polls. After the closing of the urns there was some excite ment in various parts of the city, es pecially on the bourse quarter. Here the d.fferent parties paraded the streets, the Boulangists singing popular refrains. There was a great uprcar at tbe offices of the Press, where an announcemen t of Bou laager'.s victory in Montmartre was dis played in a transparency. The news was -: i in. ; i.i h... l hMi. ... .... --. --.- by the rival contingents and as a row ,. . . .w . i . i seemed imminent the police and mounted guards charged upon and d.spersed ths crowd. Several persons were arrested. M. Thevenet, Minister of Justice, is elected in the Second district of Lyons. In the other divisions of Lyons a second ballot will be necessary. In all the di visions of Bordeaux second ballots will have to be taken. In tbe First district of Havre Seigrefred, Republican, defeated March, Boulangist. M. Flouretis is elected in Embrun. It is reported that M. Loctroy and M. Clemenceau are elected. There appears to be no chance of tbe Conservatives winning a single seat in Paris. Nothing is known of the result in M. Ferry's district. M. Flouquet and M. Lockroy have a good chance of success on the second ballots. Three provincial priests have bsen sus pended from their functions for preaching against the Government. For the thirty-seven uncontested seats the members elected consist of twenty eight Royalists, eight Ministerialists aad the Boatangist, Lebrisse. The provincial vote seems to have been tentative. The latest totals are: Repub licans elected. 15S; anti-Republicans, 89; reballots necessary. 145. o Punishment Looming Up.
