IAUHWS FRIENDS ELATED. Shortly before the senators and deputes reassembled for the second ballot . It was nn- nounced tinatValiieck Rossenl hind retired In favor of Jaure , anti the frlels of tine latter were correspondingly elated , and felt can- Ment of his election. The castling of the Feconll ballot began nt 4 1 :40 : p. m. , anti proceeded with less turbu- lence. Mlrman's name upon this occasion was called wihout protests from the socialist deputies. I became known during the sec- and balloting that Ihe Alemanists had de- cldell to vote for Brisson , anll their deter- inination was looleell upon as being an Important - portant move In his favor and one which greatly Inereasell his chances of election. At 7:1G : Lacour ascended the presidential tribune , ali when the hubbub hall subsided he announcell that the result of the ballot was : Jaure , 430 ; Brisson , 36t. lembers of tine right Immediately burst Into cheers , and the socialists rose ali ' Ihouled : 'Down with rogues ; down with the I thieves ; way with them : send them to lzas prIson. " I , The members of the rIght replied with cries of "Down with the commune. " Coutant , socialist , retorted wih : "Down wih reaction. " An hllescrlbable tumult followed . but finally Lacour was able to make himsel heard , and he declared that I'aure was elected president of the French republic. Thereupon the extreme left and the socialists again rose and they sent forth I tremendous shout of "Vlve Drlsson ; viva lirisson. " Nevertheless , I.acour pursued the usual parliamentary course and had tine minutes read , willie the socialists contnued their protests against the election of Faure. D'Assoln , the irrepressible monarcinist watching his opportunity , mounted the trIbune and cried : " 1 submitted at the opening of this congress the following revisionist - vIsionist proposal , that the presidency of the republic Is abolished.

Michelin , while this wordy war was In progress , succeeded In saying : "I you reCuee to grant revision of the cnsttu- ton , the country wm enforce It. " LACOUR CLOSED THE SITTINO. Thereupon Lacur . seized the opportunity . before anybody hal tune to speak , and said rapidly : "As " body asks for a hearIng , the sitting Is closed. " The socialsts protested violently against this acton , and shoutel loudly : "Vlve la revolution soclale. " Dub as the other members of the Nalonal Assembly had departed the socialists "Jncluded to do tine same , and the Sale dc Ongress was soon empty. Arer all the formalities bf announcing the secoll ballot hall been concluded , the president - dent dl the Assembly and the cabinet minis- ters repaired to the room of Chaliemet-La- cour , where Premier Dupuy formally read the minutes of the nneeting. Pauro and Chnle- met - Iacour then made short speeches. Dupuy , addressing Faure said : "Thc mInistry has the honor to hand over t : you the rights and prerogatives and func- lens which hall been entrustel to them In entrulte the interim Your colleagues of yesterday feel honored that line National Assembly has chosen from among them the first magistrate of tine repnnblic.

" Cinallennet-Lacour then made a simiar ad- dress President Faure responded : "I am deeply touehell beyond all expression by the great honor tine national nssembly hal conferred upon nne I did not seek the exalted mis- sion you mayo invested me whim , but nevertheless - theless , I accept tine charge with profound gratItude , and a full sense of the reponsI- bites all dutel I imposes You low mine , and you need not doubt that I will devote - vote al my encrgy to the accomplshment of my heavy task I cease from this moment to belong to any party , to hecome tine ar- bier of all.

D. , Jan. 17.-Speclal ( Tele- gram.-Last ) Saturday the report was sent out from this city that Colonel Thomas N. Ruth , the outgoing commlslsoner of school and publc lands , had by dereliction or collusion - lusion with Treasurer Taylor caused the state a loss of $90,000 , and that by his neglect or refusal to apportIon the Ichool funds on the 151h day of November , as I was stated the statute provided , the countes had not had time to apply for the money due them before the dcfalcaton took place , annul that owing to tine violation of the statute In this particular Taylor was enabled to gobble the funds. This statement was based on a detailed - tailed interview wlh one of the clerks In the ofco of the commissioner and on the word of several state ofcers , who now state that tley were mistaken on the statute and that tine commlslon r In making the appor- tionnionit of 1894 fonowed the laThe following - lowIng letter from State Auditor HippIe maIms this plain : . "The statement thnt Colonel Thomas N. Ruth , tine commissioner of school and public lands , had aided or abetted W. W. Taylor to defraud the state through violating the statute In regard to sendIng out voucher too late for tine second apportionment of 1894 of the permanent school fund Is absolutely untrue. J. E. HIPPLE , "State Auditor. " The statute provides that on or before the 10th day of May and November of each year tine commlslsoner of school and public lands shall cause to bo male an estimate of the amount of funds which will be In the treasury on July and January I , and small notify the counties of the apportonment so made. The statements of tine 0lelal3 was that on the 10th of November Colonel Ruth should have sent out the money 50 apportioned. I now appears tbat he could not do so under the law until the 1st of January. Colonel Ruth Is here , and wlh the ail of the slatute In question . has proven to the sattafactiomn of every officer that he Is guiltless - less , moral ' anti legally , of any wrong In regard to the apportionment of thll year lIe could not legally have sent out the moneYI at an earlier ' hate than he did. Colonel Ruth also absolutely denies that ho ' ever wrote . tine letter attributed to him which It was alegel , he wrote to the treasurer - urer of tine state and missent It to the treasurer ' of Clay county , or that he ever In any manner was concerned with Treasurer Taylor In handling the state funds , or had any Imowledge of his financial affairs , or was In any way concerned In hula defalcation .

The state officials believe that I was a cnard and that no such letter can be found or was sent Colone\ Uuth states that tine only way he can explaIn - plaIn the mater Is that to the best of his knowledge and beler he did about that time write to tine treasnrer of Cay county a letter .
