Government Majority Strongly /v
crcased^-The Main Istut.
Farts. May 7.— The results of the election are
considered chiefly important in connrmins; th«
policy of the government, particularly in ths
action on separation of Church and State. The
groups of the Left supporting; the government
are strongly Increased, while the opposition
groups are uniformly decreased, almost all the
«>mbative Nationalists having been defeated.
The government groups are so much Increased
that they are no longer dependent upon the So
cialists. Out of 591 constituencies the govern
■Msnt has carried 262 and the opposition 169.
In 188 districts there will be reballotlngs. The
results in colonial districts have not yet been
reported.
The semi-offlrlal "Temps" this evening sums
up the situation as follows:
The clear meaning of the elections is that the
country does Tiot want to return to the old
regime of Church and State. The electors have
declared themselves In favor of a firm, digni
fied foreign policy, orderly respect for the law
at home and a liberal application of the separa
tion law.
A number of affrays occurred Jn various parts
of the country between gendarmes and disor
derly person*. Several people were Injured. One
men was killed near Nantes.
Among those elected are the former Foreign
Minister. M. Delcasse. former Premier Ribot. the
Minister of War, M. Etienne; the Minister of
Marine, M. Thomson; the former Minister of the
Interior. M. Dubief; Count Bonl de Castellane:
the Marquis de Dion; the Minister of Public
Works. M. Barthou; the Minister of Agriculture.
M. Rau; Jean Leon Jaures. the Socialist leader;
Baudry d'Asson. Premier Sarrien and Paul Des
chanel. former President of the Chamber of
Deputies.
Among the new Deputies are M. Leroy-Beau
lieu and Maurice Parres. The defeated candi
dates include M. Bos, chairman of the budget
committee; Count Stanislas de Castellane, broth
er of Count Boni, and former Premier Flourens.

RIOTING IN GUADELOUPE.
Candidate Fires on People — Houses
Sacked — Warship Sent.
Fort de France. Martinique. May 7. — Advices
from Basseterre, island of Guadeloupe, say that
M. Bofsaevf, a c;ir,didate for re-election to the
General Council, opened fire from the window of
his apartmenta with a rifle yesterday evening
upon the passersby, killed two Socialists and
w>unded a custom house officer. Boisneufs resi
d«=-rce was Immediately sacked by the populace,
which also looted several other houses, belonging
to his friends. Boisneuf was arrested. The
authorities wer- coanpelled to employ troops to
protect him fmm the fury of the people.
There are several versions of the affair. One
says that Boisneuf a>cted without provocation,
and another that the first of the two Soctolists
killed attempted to force his way Into Boisneuf's
house.
Th-: maintenance of order is assured by the
presence here cf the French warships Troude
and Jurien de la Graviere and the troops. No
serious incident has occurred at other points.
The results of the elections in Guadeloupe as
eure a majority for MM- Gerault-Richard and
Legitinue.
The elections in the island of Martinique
passed quietly. M. Duquesnay has been elected
T>eputy In the South, but IK. Clerc, a prominent
manufacturer, has a majority in the North. A
new vote will therefore be taken.
Washington, May "j — Guadeloupe is under mob
rule, according to a dispatch received at the
State Department to-day from G. Jarvis Bowens,
the American Consul at that point. His message
eaid that the authoritu-s were unable to restrain
the mob. For several weeks there has been
rioting, which is supposed to have come to a
head yesterday, which was Election Day. There
are few Americans at the place, but large quan
tities of American goods are stored there.
At the request of the State Department, the
Navy Department has ordered Commander Will
lar.. H. H. Southerland, the senior officer in com
mand of the flet-t at Santo Domingo, to send a
warship at once to Guadeloupe to protect Ameri
can interests. The sail from Santo Domingo to
Guadeloupe Is not mor<: than twenty-four hours.
The Yankee, the Dubuque, the Paducah. the
Wewport. the .«. orpion and the Nashville are
available fu: service.
The French Ambassador. M. Jusserand, called
at the State Department to-day and said he had
no advices from his government concerning the
rioting. Three French warships are in West
Indian waters. The Issues in the island, the
ambassador Raid, were purely local, and great
rivalry existed between the two parties, which
did not reflect the political views of the parties
in France.
Guadeloupe is really two islands, both of which
ire smalL The American Consulate is at Pointe
a Pitre, on the Eastern island, ar.d the capital
of the pro--, -Jnc*- is Basseterre.

Assassins in Ekaterinoslav Escape — Out
rage at Moscow.
St. Petersburg, May 7.— The report of the as
fascination of the Governor of Elizabethpol was
Incorrect. It was the Governor General of
Ekaterinoslav who was assassinated yesterday
evening by six unknown persons, who fired vol
leys from revolvers at him and escaped.
It appears that the man who attempted yes
terday to assassinate the Governor General of
Moscow, Vice-Admiral Doubassoff, was a revo
lutionist disguised as a naval officer. He carried
the bomb in a candy box and had a false pass
port, in which his name was given as Metz.

PRESSURE ON TURKEY.
Reasons for Great Britain's Action
— Sultan Alarmed.
London, May 7. — Sir Edw ..rd Grey, the Foreign
Secretary, after informing the House of Com
mons this afternoon of the terms of the British
note to Turkey went on to say that the extent
of the demands put forward by the Porte and
the tone and character of its communications
to the Khedive made it impossible to defer a
settlement indefinitely. That was why the Brit
ish government was now pressing its original
demand for a joint delimitation of the frontier.
The British government had shown great pa
.tience and moderation, but if the latest develop
ments in the Turkish demands were admitted it
would plac« Turkey in a position which would
be a real danger, not only to the freedom of the
Suez Canal, but to the liberties of Egypt and
the dynasty of the Khedive. The British gov
ernment could not be Indifferent to its own. or
to the Khedive's Interests, and their Importance
made It necessary to press a settlement on the
lines that the frontier of Egypt should remain
as It had existed undisputed and undisturbed
for many years.
Walter Runclman, Parliamentary Secretary to
the Local Government Boerd. announced in be
half of the government that the British govern
ment had been informed by the government of
Germany that there was no foundation for the
statements that the action of Turkey respecting
the Egyptian frontier had been encouraged by
the German government.
Constantinople, May 7.— An extraordinary
meeting of the Council of Ministers has been an

through the intermediary of a palace official to
reopen the discussion met a prompt Intimation
from Sir Nicholas R. O'Conor. the British Am
bassador to Turkey, that any communications on
the subject must be presented through the Turk
ish Foreign Minister.

sailed from here to-day to Join the British fleet

SHIP REFUSED PILOT.
Allegation May Affect Inquiry of
Rhode Island Stranding.
Norfolk, Va.. May 7. — The extent of the dam
age sustained by the battleship Rhode Island
during the time she was stranded off York Spit,
from Saturday morning to Sunday night, is yet
unknown. The big ship is under orders to pro
ceed to Yorktown for target practice. Naval
officials say that so far as th^y know the or
ders have not been changed.
It developed to-day that the Rhode Island on
entering the Capes about 2 o'clock on Saturday
morning, refused to take a pilot on board. The
pilot boat Relief, of the Virginia Association,
spoke the ship as she passed in. and In response
to signals. it is said, went alongside. The offi
cers in command on the battleship declined the
proffered assistance. Members of the pilot as
sociation contend that if the battleship had
taken on one of their men it would not have
stranded, and that question may figure largely
In the examination to be made by a court of
inquiry.
The Rhode Island is thought to be but little.
if any. Injured, as she struck on mud bottom.
Grave apprehension was felt by the naval au
thorities for the battleship all Saturday night
and Sunday, for the reason that she went
aground at extreme high tide, and It was not
known how much trouble there might be in
floating her. The Bhlp. at the time she struck
was steaming at ten knots an hour Her com
mandor lost his bearings to some extent and
went too close to the channel , buoys ' Th«
Rhode Island drawn from lift to 28 feet of water
If an examination of her bottom by divers
proves that the Rhode Island nteda to ho docked
for repairs, naval officials Bald to-day she would
probably return north, as the present dock* it
the Norfolk Navy Yard are not sufncientlv
large to receive her. - *

QUARAHTIKE AGAINST FOUR STATES.
Cuban Health Board Recommends Action
Against Gulf Ports.
Havana. May ".—The Superior Sanitary Board
to-day formally recommended a quarantine
against ports of Louisiana. Mississippi. Alabama
and Texas. The reasons given are that the na
tional authorities of the United States will not
intervene in sanitary matters in those states;
that last year Havana was not Informed of the
existence of yellow fever In New Orleans until
six weeks after the first case had occurred, and
that in the present season there will be great
danger of carrying infection. No quarantine is
suggested asralnst Florida because the health of
ficer of that state is also an officer of the United
States Marine Hospital Service.

points near and beyond the state line, arriving on
vessels having on board a medical lnspecor, bo
allowed to enter Mobile, said passengers belnn re
ciuired to take the first train out of Mobile after
their arrival.
The action was taken upon an application of the i
agent here of the Munson Un«, who advised the
board that he had received advices from the head
quarters of the line In New York that Havana had
jleterralned to auanuitlne all the OuU port* except
