BOULANGISM KNOCKED OUT.Republicans Will Have a Majority in
the Chamber of Deputies.
Boulangism Receives a Crushing’ Blowat the Election in France. .
The One-Man Rule Not Wanted in ThatCountry at Present.
Paris. Sept. 23—The elections in France jyesterday resulted in a crushing defeat tothe Boualangists, who returned only 21 jmembers and whose entire representation |in the new chamber after the reballoting |will net exceed 36 members. The conser-!vatives elected 131 members and will get30 more. The republicans returned 218 iand will secure over 100 more, making jtheir total strength in the chamber be-tween 325 and 360, against220 or 230 representing thewhole Reactionary-Boulangist coalition.The success of the republicans and the de-feat of the monarchy and Caesarism is ahappy fact. The result of the election putsan end to the Boulangist-Monarchy con-spiracy.
Returns from the elections in this cityshow that the conservatives did not elect asingle member while the republicans re-turned one and the Boulangists four.Reballots will be necessary in thirty-sevendivisions. M. Thevenet, minister ofjustice, has been re-elected but re-ballots will be necessary in thedistricts in M. Constans, minister of theinterior, and M. Yves-Guyot, minister ofpublic works, were candidates. Theirelection, however, is regarded as certain.Among the republicans defeated is MM.Milude. Goblet. Jules Ferry. Milliard andJoubert, while in the districts in whichMM. Milleraud, Passy, Lockroy, Floquetand Barodet, republicans, and MAI. An-drieux, Laisant, Vergoin, Laur, De Su-sine and Naquet, anti-republicani, werecandidates, re-ballots will have to be had.Count Dillon was elected.
Official returns at noon from 536 elec-toral divisions show that the republicanshave elected their candidates in 217 andthe anti-republicans in 153. Re-ballotswill l>e necessary in 166 divisions. Amongthe prominent republicans elected are MAI.Falheres, Ribot, Jules Roche, Granet,Develle, Deschanel, Barbe, Barrier andReinach. Among the prominent opposi-tion candidates elected are AIM. Cassagnac,Lalon, Fould, Haussmann, Gonelle.Lanjuinais and Mun. It is believedthat in 127 of the divisions where re-bal-lots will be necessary the result will befavorable to the republicans. In the other39 divisions, the opposition will probablyelect their candidates. The republicansalso rely on electing the ten mem-bers from the colonies. They willthus hold 354 seats in the new chamber ofdeputies. In official circles a governmentma jority is considered assured. Althoughthe majority will not be large, it will bemore compact and more homogeneousthan that in the last chamber.Later returns show that the republicanshave elected their candidates in 219 divis-ions and the opposion in 156. Reballotswill be necessary in 170 divisions. Theconservatives have elected M. Breteuil,Soubeyan, Mackau, Montgolfierand BishopFroppel.
Paris, Bspt. 23.—Temps says the politi-cal shades of the new chamber will be muchthe same as those of the old.
Paris, Sept. 23.—Boulangists claim thegeneral elected from Mont Martre. Theysay the rejection of the Boulangist votesat some of the polling stations was illegal.

Remnant of the Civilization of the EarlyInhabitants of America.
Washington, Sept. 23.—Sec’y Nobletransmitted to the director of the geologi-cal survey a report by Special Agent Mor-rison on the condition of Casa Grande(Great House) ruins in Pinal county, Ari-zona, with instructions that necessarysteps be immediately taken to repair andprotect the ruins under the authoritygranted in tbe act of Alarch 2, ’B9. appro-priating 82,000for that purpose. SpecialAgent Alorrison says the front of the mainbuilding measures sixty feet, and its widthis forty-three feet; height of firststory is 13feet 10 inches, second nine feet,and third an 1 faurth stories eight feet re-spectively. The greater part of tbe upperstory has disappeared. The walls are be-tween four and five feet thick and the ma-terial of which they are constructed is al-most indestructible. The concrete is madeof fine gravel, sand and cement closely re-sembling granilithye now used inWashington. The report says that formiies around the mysterious CasaGrande, or great mounds nowhardly distinguishable from the desertsands bear indisputable evidence of hav-ing been at some far remote period theabode of busy industries, and the superi-ority of its architecture, it having outlivedall other structures by which it was sur-rounded. The numerous small apart-ments into which it was divided and the
i elegance of the interior finish all point to; the conclusion that it was the palace of aI king or chief who governed the primative! Americans who inhabited these vast do-mains before tbe Aztec or Toltec.The most ancient of the traditions ofPimas and Pappagoes who yet live herewhere their fathers have lived for cen-turies, alluded to them as “the ruins.”The earliest historic record we have of
! Casa Grande was given by the famous| Spanish caviller and explorer, Cabeza del Baca, who discovered it during his journeyacross the continent, about 1537. Hestates that the Indians then had no knowl-edge of the origin or history ot Alace.

Gen-eral Admiral, conveying the czar, aretimed to reach Kiel on the morning of the27th inst. If Bismarck's plans are effectedinstead of the short and unceremoniousvisit, the czar will be treated to a numberof court banquets and a diplomatic dinner.The absence of Di Giers. the Russian foreignminister, indicates that the czar is determin-ed to refuse Prince Bismarck a political con-ference. All the Russian papers agree toan exceptionally friendly treatment of theCzarwitch during his visit to Germany andthe courtesies offered the Czar do not affectthe relations between the two countries.The Czar's personal feelings toward theEmperor haverecently been excited by anincident arising from his conferring theorder of St. Stanislaus on a Bulgarian.Major Greuff. who kidnapped PrinceAlexander, of Battenberg. and who now isa Russian pensioner. The emperor at themilitary dinner in the course of conversa-tion expressed wonder that the decorationshould have been given to a traitoroussoldier. Three Prussian officers who worethe decoration of the order of St. Stanis-laus heard the emperor's words. Theyforthwith returned their insignia to St.Petersburg with a collectively signedprotest stating that they couldnot wear an order that had beengiven to the mutineer. The czar's exasper-ation was so intense that he demandedthrough Count Schouvaloff. Russian am-bassador here, the punishment of the offi-cers. The emperor placed them under ar-rest for unauthorized correspondence witha foreign government, but after two dayshe ordered their release.

The latest perfectedsmokeless powder leaves no sign after fir-ing by infantry and only a slight gray mistafter firing of artillery.
