Smith were in the Police Court today, charged with indecent conduct in the Washington Monument yesterday, and they made no attempt at denial, but asked the court to be lenient with them. Joseph Smith, who is about twenty-five years old, told the court that he came here from the ccuntry “And,” he said, “this is the first time 1 have ever been in a city. Yesterday I went out and drank some of this stuff they call what? Yes, I know, they call it beer, and that was the reason I violated the law.” Judge Kimball heard the statements of the others and said he could not excuse any such disgraceful conduct. The de- ferdants counted out their greenbacks and small change, enough to pay their fines, and were released. HE RETURNS AS PRESIDENT Enthusiastic Reception of Faure, the New Exeoutive, in Paris, Tamultuous Scenes Greet the An- mouncement of the Result in the National Assembly. It was 7:15 when M. Challemel-Lacour ascended the tribune of tho national as- sembly in the Palace of Versailles, France, yesterday to announce the result of the second ballot for president, as follows: M, Felix Faure, 459; M. Henri Brisson, 261. All of the members of the right immedl- ately burst into cheers and the socialists rose and shouted: “own with the rogues; down with the thieves; away with then, send them to Mazas prison.” ‘The members of the right replied with cries of: “Down with the commune.” M. Coutant, socialist, retorted with: “Down with reaction.” ‘An indescribable tumult followed, but finally M. Challemel-Lacour was able to make himself heard and he declared Felix Faure elected president of the French re- public. ‘Thereupon the extreme left and socialists again sent forth a tremendous united shout of: “Vive Brisson; vive Bris- son!" This shouting upon the part of the ad- herents of the president of the chamber of deputies lasted for a couple of minutes. Nevertheless, M. Challemel-Lacour pursued the usual parlamentary course and had the mirutes read, while the socialists continued their protests against the election of M. Felix Faure. M. de Baudry d’Asson, the irrepressible monarchist, watching his opportunity, mounted the tribune and cried: “I sub- mitted at the opening of this congress the’) following revisionist proposal—that the presidency of the republic is abolished. The president of this congress refused me a hearing—” (loud socialist cries of “Fough, sit down.’ M. Viviani, socialist, here arose and in- terposed a protest against the exclusion of MM. Mirman and Gerault-Richard from President Faure. (From the Philadelphia Times.) the national assembl. and M. Michelin joined with: “I thought this an assembly the represertatives of the Frerch na: tion, but I find it to be quite the contrary.” (Sceialist applause.) To the applou of the secialists the members G1 the right replied with strong s, and heated invectives were ea- across the floor of the house. -helin, whiie this woidy war was : “It you constitu- refuse to grant a ¥ tion the country will enforze it.” Tereupon M. Challemel-Lacour seized the opportunity, before anybody had time to speak, and said ra “As nobody asks for 2 hearing the sitting fs closed. ‘The socialists protested violently a. this action upon the part of the presid and shouted loudly: “Vive la revolution S00 le.” But as the other members of the national assembly had departed the socialists con- cluded to do the same and the Salle du Conzress was soon emr After all the formalities of announcing the result of the second ballot had been conelnded, the president of the assembly and the cabinet ministers repaired to the room of M. Challemel-Lacour, where Pre- mier Dupuy formally read the minutes of the meeting. M. Felix Faure and M. Chal- lemel-Lacour then made short speeches. M. Dupuy, addressing M. Faure, said: “The ministry has the honor to hand over to you the rights and prerogatives and functions which had been intrnsted to them in the interim. Your colleagues of yesterday feel honored that the national as- sembly has chosen from among them the first. magistrate of the republic. | They know your loyalty and character, having had your trusty co-operation. They are confident that in your hands the honor of the country. the interests of the republic and the defense of the laws are in safe- keeping. We beg you to accept our wishes for you personally, for the success of your magistracy and for the normal duration 6f of ofhice.’ hallomei-Lacour then made a similar The President's Inaugural.

Faure will inaugurate his presidency by placing 20,000 francs in the fund for the relief of the pocr of Paris. FELIX FAURE’S CAREER. He Was Minister of Marine in the Dupuy Cabinet. M. Fellx Faure, the new French presi- dent, was born in Paris January 30, 1841. He was formerly a ship owner, and was president of the chamber of commerce of Havre. During the Franco-Prussian war he was a chief of battalion of the Garde Mobile, and led trom Havre to Paris vol- unteers who assisted in putting down the commune. He was first elected to the chamber of deputies as a republican in 18S1, and at the time of the formation of the Gambetta cabinet of November 14, 1881, he became vnder-secretary of state in the then new ministry of commerce and the colonies. He relinquished office with the other members of the cabinet in January, 1882, but he was called to fill the same office on September 24, 1883, in the last cabinet pre- sided over by M. Jules Ferry, and resigned with the rest of the ministry on March 31, 1885. M. Faure was elected to represent the Seine-Inferieure in the elections of Octo- ber 4, 1885, and for the third time became under secretary of state, this time in the Tirard cabinet. In the elections of September 22, 1889, he was elected to represent the second district of Havre and in the Dupuy cabinet, which he resigned just previous to the resignation of M Casimir-Perier, he was minister of marine. M. Faure was slated for the presid2ncy of the chamber of deputies in the event of the election of either Brisson or Waldeck- Rousseau. —+2e+—___—_ FIRED HIS PISTOL. Policeman Baur Disrezards the Order of Police Manual, The police manual, the contents of which should be familiar to every member of the force, contains regulations concerning the use of the revolver given to members of the force. There are very few occasions on which the use of the pistol Is sanctioned. Notwithstanding these rules, Policeman Frank Baur of the fourth precinct dis- charged his weapon three times near the corner of 6th and C streets yesterday after- noon for the purpose of intimidation. With Policeman Knupfer he went to | Golden's oyster saloon to arrest a young | colored man named William Woody on a warrant for alleged larceny from the per- son, but instead of taking him, they per- mitted him to leave the place, where he was shucking oysters, and then they went in pursuit of him. The firing of the weapon created con- siderable excitement and attracted a la | crowd. It is said that the officer point his weapon toward the roots of a tree. ‘ the bullets did not strike any After a long chase the fugitive pedestrian. Was captured, and he will be tried in the Police Court next week. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, when ques- j tioned by a Star reporter, said he thought the officer had violated the law in firing the istol in the street and said he wouid file an information against him should any one appear to make the charge. Ss Corcoran Cadet Hop. The twenty-seventh complimentary hop of the Corcoran Cadet Corps was held last evening in National Riftes’ armory. A large portion of the decorations used the evening previous for the charity ball re- mained in position, and the hall presented an unusually attractive appearance. The majority of the companies of the District National Guard were represented by m2m-~ bers in uniform. Capt. E. C.

A small fir: occurred shortly before 10 o'clock this morning in the basement of a vacant store, Jocated at S05 Vermont ave- nue northwest. Workmen were engaged in making a connection of gas pipes, when the gas meter exploded. The fire depart- ment was called, and when the cellar doors were opened a blaze sprang forth at least ten feet in the air. The fire was soon ex- tinguished, however, with but slight dam- age. The surrounding buildings were filled ith smoke, which for a time ve 2 se- rious aspect to the affair. One of the workmen, named Kelly, was slightly burned. ee Bill Nye to Talk to Maine People. Mr. William Edgar Nye (Bill Nye) has accepted an invitition to be present at :o- morrow night's regular meeting of the Sons and Daughters of Maine, at their rooms, 707 G street northwest, and he is expected to give one of his characteristic talks. Mr. Nye is a native of the pine tree state, but, accord to his own version of the story, took his parents by the hand when he was one year old and led them out of the land. A paper on the Poet Longfellow will also be read by his niece, Mrs. Marion Longfellow O’Donaghue. windows looking upon the station were filled with spectator: When the presidential train entered the staticn, drums were beat and troops pre- sented arms, when M. Faure emerged and entered a superb hooded carriage, which was escorted by Cuirassiers. As soon as the president was seen the immense crowd shouted “Vive la Repub- lique.” “Vive Felix Faure.’ The cries were redoubled when M. Faure ordered the hood of the carriage to be thrown back. Hats were waved and the greatest of enthusiasm was displayed. M. Dupuy sat beside the president. The cheers of the throng massed along the footways did not cease until the carriage of the president reached the palace of the Elysee. M. Faure constantly doffed his hat in re- sponse to the enthusiastic acclamations of the multitude. - Another Socialist Manifesto. The members of the cabinet last night placed their resignations in the hands of President Faure, but will continue tem- porarily the direction of affairs. The socialist deputies met last evening and issued a manifesto characterizing Favre as the candidate of the rallied and reactionary parties, elected president against the candidate of all the republicans. The manifesto says: “The republican traitors go to their country, having hoped that Faure would be protected by his ob- scurlty even against the anger of the de- mocracy.' Pending a formation of a new cabinet, the minister-of justice will attend to the business of the ministry of marine, while Res etea To Pay a Church Debt. At a meeting of the congregation of the Church of the Covenant last evening the plan of paying off the debt as proposed by the officers of the church was unanimously adopted.
