After dep'ltnF their ' first ballots the
pUtes assembled In the Oalerlc des Bustcp ,
which wan very cro\nled Pelatan , an edl-
lor of Ia Justice , was the' center of an excited -
cited throng of deputies , who W1re vehemently -
menty protesting against the absence of
Mirman. lehard , among others , shoute :
"This electIon Is illegal . I Is an outrage. "
Jaure3 was also the seater of a group of
excited deputes , lie explained to them that
he had \otell ror Drsson ! , as tine socialists
wantel an armistice , and were desirous of
proving their party as one of oganlzaton
anti work.
Prom the conversation or the deputes In
tine Galerle deS BusIes It was gathered I
Brleson was net elected tine socialists woull
nt once reommenco their struggle agaInst
the government.
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. The president of this
congress refusell me 1 hearlng- " ( Loud
socialist cries of "Enough : sit down. " )
Viviani . socialist , at'o and interposed
Vi'lanl. socialst atiO anl Interposel a
protest against the exclusion of ltrman and
Iehanl from the National Assembly , and
11cheln joined In with : "I thought thIs an

nation . but I find It to bo quite the contrary. "
( Socialist applause . )
" T tine . . applainso of the socialsts , the mem-
bars replied wIth strong pltests and heated
Invetves were exchanged across the feor
of the house. 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

feel honored that line National Assembly has

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 -

At 8:30 : 1 m _ a four-morse landau , escorted
by I guanl of horse artillery , drove up to

PIERRE , S. 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 .
Public Examiner lyers stated that he did
not see the letter In question , but he was
toll of It about a year ago by I man who
claimed to have seen it. 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 .
The treasurer had collected about $45,000 of
money due tine state and had not remitted

pear to have been fred by different parties.
MorrIson was seen with a gun or rifle on

A. V. Harris was the atorey for Jacleson

Crawford tIme papers of atachment were
Issued , and considerable talk was caused

team at Morrison's livery barn the proprietor
, said : " 1 will teach Van HarrIs that he I
I can't run Crawford as ho runs Whnitniey. I ,
viih kill . "
wi lel that -
All the pnrte ! , It seems , had been drInk-
Ing. In the justice's office after Cooper heft ,
hot words ensued between Morrison and
Harris , Morrison calling HarrIs Connie vie
names. In the office at the tme were Byron'
Jackson , Leo Garner , ItV. . Daly , I. W.
