IG-*- ;u;mm -us.a to elect & president of
Clic f ifcni.il Republic leu llic lull teiiH
of sc wii i cttio, was called to order la
th. i'at.ict of Versailles, by M. Clmile
rnel-Lacour at 1:10 p. tn. yesterday.
At least five minutes elapsedaflerthe
formal call to order, before there was
sufficient quiet to enable the presiding
officer to be heard.
M hen finally the assembly became
orderly, M. Challemel-Laeour announc
ed the tragic death of M. Carnot, and
declared the congress open for the pur
pose of electing his successor.
Scarcely had the president ceased
speaking, when M, Michelin, socialist,
sprang to his feet and shouted : “I de
mand the suppression of the presidency'
of the Republic.”
A tumultuous scene ensued, the up
roar being so great that the president
could not make himself heard. The
socialists seemed to be stronger-lunged,
and their cries of “Vive revolution”
could be heard all over the hall.
No Constitution Revision.
Min. de Rauclry, and l)’Asson endeav
ored to propose a revision of the con
stitution, but were quickly silenced by
the president.
Lots were then cast for the ballot,
the object being to see which letter the
ballot should begin with. The letter
“L” was drawn and the name of M. l.a
barthe, a moderate republican, was first
called.
In accordance with the custom, M.
Labarthe ascended the rostrum and, be
ing recognized by the scrutator, placed
his ticket in a great urn which serves
as a ballot box, and descended and re
turned to his seat. The senators and
deputies whose names were subsequent
ly called, went through the same cere
mony', The voting proceeded mono
tonously in this way : ,
When the name of M. Fabriot, so
cialist, was called, be exclaimed : “I
shall not vote, because I believe anoth
er presidency will kill the republic.
M. ( assimir-Perier arrived at the
Palace of Versailles at 3:20 p. m. Neither
he nor M. Dupny voted.
When the calling of the roll was fin
ished, there was a couuter call for ab
sentees. This occupied a few minutes,
and then the counting of the votes
Perier the Winner.
At 3:25 it was generally believed that
Cassimir-Perier had received about 430
votes which was sufficient to elect him
there having been about 850 votes cast,
and ou the strength of this belief many
deputies and senator.-; hastened to con
gratulate him.
hr. Cassimir-Perier was elected presi
dent on. the first ballot receiving 451
rotes.
The total vote .as; icr president was
SM, oi which six were cancelled be
cause cf irregularities., leaving 845 valid
votes Of these 451 were cast far nasi'
mi. reider, ibl ior inisson. 99 for La
pa., 59 roi Gen Fc.itCx a7 for Aiago
and io were scattering-.
The announcement 01 M. Gasimir
perier s victory excited ringing cheers
M. Dupuy was present when the re
sult of the balloting was read. In the
court yard ot the palace a landau,
drawn by four horses, with four artil
lerymen as postillions, was waiting to
convey the new president to 1 aris.
M. Challemel-Laeour had gone into the
president’s chamber to announce to
M. Casimir-Perier the fact that he had
been elected president of the republic.
When the president of the seuate in
formed the premier that he had been
proclaimed president of the republic
the latter’s emotion almost overcome
him. and the landau which was to con
vey him to Paris and the squadron of
mounted lancers which were to escort
him w re obliged to wait until the
newly elected executive had rested
suffici ntly to recover his calmness.
Public satisfaction at the result of
the electii nis general and everything
is tranquil.
M, Casimii-Perier, president of the
French repul lie, left Versailles for
Paris at 5:50 o clock yesteidav after
noon. Premier Dupuy accompanied
him. Facing the new president and
the premier in the carriage were the
military commandants of the senate
and chamber. In a landau behind tbe
president's carriage were Ministers
Leyguos and Pernicare. The presi
dent and his party were escorted by a
troop of mounted lancers. As the
president was about to drive someone
in the crowd threw a boquet tied with
tho American colors into his carriage.
The president took his departure from
Versailles amid the rattle of drums and
bows and cheers of the crowd, who
shouted. “Vive la president!” “Vive
Casimir-Perier!" until the party were
out of sight.
The president will preside at the
cabinet meeting to be delivered at 8:30
a. m.. today, and will receive from
Premier Dupuv before noon the formal
notice of the cabinets resignation.

called out- i&st night and a committee
is on its y> a > tn call out ue north wes
tern employes.
Asa result of the first day, of the
boycott of the Pullman Palace car com
pany by the American railway union,
there are over 5,000 employes of the
different roads out of Chicago now on
strike. The attempt to run Pullman
cars has resulted in tieing up of the
yards of fifteen roads centering here.
Of these the Illinois Central, Wiscon
sin Central, Chicago Great Western,
Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago a.pi North
ern Pacific, and the lines interested in
the Western Indiana system are tied
up completely, the only .trains run out
being made up and managed, by officers
of the road. Strikes will be declared
within the next two days on the Fort
Wayne, and other Pennsylvania lines,
the Chicago and Northwestern, Chicago
and Alton and Santa Fe. The latter
road is partially tied up now along the
liue, on orders issued by the Union of
ficials, but the men in Chicago will not
be ordered out until tonight.
The sensational feature of the strike
yesterday was the complete tieing up
of the roads ruuning out of the Grand
central station and which inelffdes the
Wisconsin Central, Baltimore and
Ohio, Chicago and Northern Pacific
and Chicago Great Western. Each road
has been left without a single employe
in the yards, and although the Balti
more and Ohio succeeded in getting out
its passenger trains, all of the work
was done by the officers of the compa
ny who manned the switch engines and
made up trains. The first victory gain
ed by the strikers was at (3 o’clock last
evening when the Chicago Great Wes
tern, after its through passenger train
to St. Paul and Kansas City had been
backed into the depot decided to con
form to the wishes of the employes
and cut off the two Pullman sleepers
which are usually run. - This rdad was
tied up in its yards in five minutes and
without any notice whatsoever to the
officials.
MEETS WITH GENERAL FAVOR.
The Actiniv -■ “ -ca&ue .1.
Reducing the Circuit.
Atlanta, June 28, —The action of
the Southern association in reducing
the circuit to the four largest cities
meets with general favor here. With
the Mobile team put here in Atlanta,
the four clubs—New Orleans, Memphis,
Nashville and Atlanta, will be well
matched- Sullivan’s miserable show
ing had about killed the sport
here, but the coming of Tvelis and
his men will doubtless result in a great
revival. The report sent out from
Montgomery did Atlanta an injustice
in saying she was not represented at the
meeting. It was known that Atlanta
had a representative in the way there,
and but for a misunderstanding as to
the hour for the meeting, would have
ceen there at the first session. The
league as now constructed ought to
result in a pretty race
ILLINOISE DEMOCRACY HEARD.

for state superintendent public in

C. L. Pleasants, T. C. Clendin.
This was the ticket nominated by the
democratic convention yesterday and
the party endorsed the national admin
istration only so far as its actions have
coincided ■vyith the platform of the
Chicago convention. This endorsement
was the outcome of a bitter fight waged
in the meeting of the platform com
mittee by Congressman Fithian against
the administration.
RACING AT WASHINGTON PARK.
Most Spirited Since the Derby Day—Six
Well Balanced Features on the Card.
Chicago, June 28.—The racing at
Washington park yesterday was the
best since Derby day. Six well bal
anced races were on the card and it
made the betting lively. The finishes
in all but the first two events were
close and exciting. A free handy cap
at 1 1-4 miles was the principal race of
the da.v, and it resulted in a spirited
contest, prince Carl winning in a fierce
drive by tsvo lengths from Hawthorne.

Charleston, S. C., June 28.—The
dreary political grind goes on. It is
the same old circus, with the same old
chorus, the same bald-headed jokes,
the same ground and lofty tumbling
and the worst ot it is the last exhibi

August. Yesterday’s performance was
given at Beunettsville Marlboro county.
All the speakers were present and the
whole programme was carried out.
The candidates for state offices spoke
first, the tail of the procession being
brought up by senator Butler and gov
ernor Tillman. Neither of them in
dulged in much violent talk. Senator
Butler appealed to his record. Speak

Peacable View of the Disturbances.
Washington, June 28.— Secretary
Herbert has received a cablegram from
Admiral Skerrett informing him that
all is quiet in Korea. No reference is

The vessel will however, be held there
for a few weeks at least for fear there
may be auother outbreak among the
revolutionists. Attorney General 01-

ficers, active or retired, to review the
action of our courtmartial, in cases
where the accused has been sentenced
to dishonorable discharge, or to review
the proceedings of a retiring board
where the officer was wholly retired.
After the bill had been amended in
some unimportant particulars, it was
reported to the house and passed.
Mr. Outhwaite from the committee
on rules, submitted an order providing
for the consideration in the house for
three hours the bill to admit New Mex
ico to the union, a vote then to be taken
on the pending amendments and the
passage of the bill.
Mr. Wilson, representative of Ohio,
offered an amendment providing for
teaching the Ena**" 1 ’ a
branch study in all public schools, but
not to the exclusion of other languages.
The amendment was lost—yeas 81 ;
nays 112 —the division being on party
lines.
In the Senate.
Only ten minutes remained of the
morning half hour of the senate when
a quorum appeared. At 10:30 the tariff
bill was taken up, the question being
on Senator Allison's amendment offer
ed yesterday to section 53. exempting
corporations with a capital of loss than
§IOO.OOO,
Senator Hill was promptly in the
van of discussion. He called attention
to the discrimination made in the bill
between incomes from investments
in corporate property and incomes
from other sources. In the latter case,
exemptions were made to individuals
to the amount or §4,000; but in the
former case there was no such exemp
tion for the individual, who, if he had
dividends to and lesser amount, would
have two per cent, duducted from them.
He could see no reason for such dis
crimination and supposed that it must
have been an oversight. An amend
ment ought to be prepared, he said, to
remedy that injustice.
After Senator Vest had spoken in op
position to Senator Allison's amend
ment, the amendment was withdrawn.
Several other amendments adding
exemptions were offered by Senators
Perkins, of California, Smith, of New
Jersey, and Hill, but all were rejected.
Senator Hoar offered an amendment
excluding partnerships from the provi
sion as to corporations; agreed to with
out division.
Passes to Another Section.
The senate then proceeded to the
consideration of the next section of the
bill, 62, for the collection of the tax on
salaries of government officers nd‘
employes, members of congress, etc.,
over $4,000. The finance committee
reported some formal amendments and
one exempting from the tax salaries of
state, county and municipal officers.
The committee amendments to sec
tion 62 were agreed to. The next sec
tion was simply a re-enactment, with
some changes, of the duties of internal
revenue collectors and agents. The
various amendments of the committee
were agreed to, and then section 65
was then read, requiring reports of
corporations. Several committee
amendments were agreed to.
Section 66 was then read. It requires
business corporations to keep full,
regular and accurate books of account,
which shall be kept open to the in
spection of assessors.
Senator Aldrich denounced the para
graph as outrageous and Senator Gray,
of Delaware, denounced it as absolute
ly violative of the instincts of Ameri
can people. Senator Gray’s speech
provoked from Senator Vest a sarcastic
rejoinder in which his allusions to the
alliance between Senators Aldrich,
Hill, Gray and Chandler, provoked
much amdsement. No vote was taken
on the section or on the amendments
oflered to it.
