THE FRENCH SENATE
RESULTS OF ELECTION. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, January 10. The Senatorial elections resulted in the Radicals, and Radical-Socialists securing 43 seats and the Republicans of the Left 30 seats out of 96 vacancies. The formei lost nine and the latter won eight seats.— Reuter. THE MINISTRY STRENGTHENED. COMMUNIST VOTE NEGLIGIBLE. PARIS, January 10. Five Ministers were returned in the Senate elections. M. Richard, Minister of Agriculture, was defeated. The Conservatives lost four seats. The situation generally is unchanged. The press emphasises the complete check suffered by the Socialists, none of whose candidates was elected. The Communist vote was insignificant. M. Marcel Hutin, in the Echo de Paris, says the elections strengthened the Ministry, which will not entertain the idea of a redistribution of portfolios. The Figaro says the results show a tendency to political moderation devoid of sectarianism. —A. and N.Z.' Cable.
