The Investiture of the now president with hla official ptlwers took place In the llfbiury.of the Versaltlvu palace. It consisted merely In ChaUemel-Laoour’o reading to him the minutes of '-he as sembly. M. Faure arns met at the St. Lazares station by Gen. 'Morcler, minister of war, and M. Honntaux, minister of foreign affairs, and was accompanied by them to the B!ys»e. The palace was brilliantly lighted and ushers tn gala Hvery Blood at the doors. Casimir- Perler welcomed and congratulated hla successor. Premier Dupuy then pre sented the resignation of the cabinet. M. Faure returned to the ministry of marine for the night. The crowd out side the ministry cheered with consid erable fervor when M. Far.ro was per suaded by friends to show hlmeif .on the balcony. He wa received for the first time today wlCI genuine enthu siasm. Everybody shouted: "Hurrah for Faure," and every bow or smile from the -president avas the signal for a new demonstration. When the presi dent re-entered the salon he said to his aero-diary: “I-havo passed the most precious -moments of my political ca reer tin this building. Tomorrow the president will take the officers ot ills stuff. M. Faure Is 4nfl and of Imposing mllltar yfipure. Although a millionaire ilbllp owned, he has simple tastes.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT. BTho announcement of the second bal lot was made amid a terrible din. The BrtMonlte* wore so busy groaning, cheering and reproaching their n-lgh- hors that they -paid no attention to lOhaUemeHLaeour when lie rc*o 4o read the figures. The president's voice was quite Inaudible, and hU hand* trembled violently. It was five minutes after ho spoke before all memhens of tho as sembly knew the result. The figures |generally known were only then sp- S BroxImate—Faure. 430, and Brlsson. Bl—but -they sufficed to show that Fc- [Hx Faure was the new president of France. The scene wan absolutely devoid of aolemnlty or dignity. The Brbwonltes. who had not ceased howling, were Joined by other malcontents, and the windows were fairly ehaken by the In- deserlhablc tumult. Ttvo radicals mounted chairs and benches, shouting. “Down with this president elected by the right!" The Socialists jumped up and down, shouting, "Down with the| thieves! Down with the Congo advens torvT*! Down with the Panama scounl drels!" I Occasionally when the din subsided! for a moment the Socialists .-ou.d yell In an ear-spllttlng chorus: "Hurrah for the social republls!" -Hurrah for the social revoluUonr 1 Baudrey n'Asaon, the Orleanslst, bsd got a conspicuous place near Challe- I mel-Lacout, and, with purple face anil waving arms, proclaimed a hundred time* that the presidency was uselemd and Ihe republic must end.

In defiance of him and the presi dent of the assembly, protested against the bgeluskw el Gerault, Richard and Minn an. THE NEW PRESIDENT. | The crowd ou-slde wa* In strange I contract to the ase<-mb!y. It was neld ther excited nor enthusiastic. It wait* ed without eagerness for the coming of the new president. The carriage which carried Castmlr-Peri.-r back to Paris some six months ago stood In the court yard with the artillery escort near by. The big palace clock struck v as the president, who had been recolvfi Ing official congratulations, passed ■through the Salle de* Toubaux bHween lines of soldiers with fixed bayonets. He wa* preceded by usher* and was followed by cabinet ministers. The crowd heard the beating of drum* and saw the president come out bowing right and left, but It gave no sign of welcome. There was an occasional hur rah. but no attempt to raise a hearty cheer. Two mca even shouted, "Lonal live Brireon!" -Mounted lancers surg rounded the carriage after Faure en tered It and escorted him to the station. Outside the palace there were a half dozen cheers for Faure and two or three for Brlsson when the president entered the train. The train was a ape- rial oS. -rod W alow. It reached the ci 1,1—» station In Paris five min utes pa* nine. By that time the news of the election had spread far and wide; and a vast throng had gathered In the Place du Havre outside the station, Tho president was received with a few Sm M "Long live Felix Faure." but there was «o enthusiasm.
