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 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.

BEYOND ALL BOUNDS Great Railroad Strike Assuming Unprecedented Proportion CONiOTMS SERIOUS IN K it CiktLES r.-:< ? u Year?—.lor.t r-'r o? OiY ' co. Jor.t -A* —_s.it the Fcr.r.mai men it tm Pin nuu..ue i- 1 ■ ere 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. Administration Endorsed Only So Far as Conforms With the Platform.

A message from the president dated June 23, transmitting additional dis patches from Minister Willis at Hono lulu, was presented and referred to the committee on foreign affairs. Sayers reported from the committee on appro priations a joint, resolution to provide temporarily for the expenditures of the government. The bill to forfeit about 54.000,000 acres of unearned land grants to rail roads was reported and placed on the calendar. A resolution by Sayers was also agreed to authorizing the committee on appropriations to sit either in full or sub-committee in the recess, to pre pare the appropriation bills for the next session of congress. The House's Morning Hours. Reports from committees were called for, and then the house entered upon the first morning hour it has observed for months It went into committee of the whole, McCreary in the chair to consider a bill authorizing the seci'etary of war to appoint a board of three of 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.
