Europe ON Powder Magazine.
A member OF the diplomatic corps, at
Washington, who has spent the summer in
Europe, says:
Europe seems to be now resting on q
powder magazine which may be exploded
at any moment. The first Napoleon pre-
dicted that in u hundred years Europe
would be all Cossack or all republican.
1t is possible that this prediction is on
the eve of fulfilment. Russia's gaze
is fixed upon Bulgaria and next upon Con.
stantinople, and will risk an effort to get
there. But for the fact that Russia is be-
ing watched by Bismarck there could be
but little doubt as to what would happen.
Russia would be the most powerful nation
on the face of the earth if able to concen-
trate her forces. That she is not able to
do. Russia therefore cannot do any ything
90 long as she finds that Germany and
Austria would be opposed to her
claims. 1t is believed in Europe
an diplomatic circles that there is some
understanding between the czar and EN-
peror William that nothing shall be done
SO long as the latter lives. By far the
greatest danger to the peace OF Europe Is
to be found in France. An adventurer,
Gen. Boulanger, minister OF war, is to-day
the power that moves French politics. 1t
is difficult to believe that the tension can
exist much longer. The chief danger lies
in the fact that Boulanger exists by the
grace OF the rabble. There will soon be a
revolt throughout Europe against social
order.
Capt. w. T. Mills, who has been in charge
OF the Salvation Army meetings at Forres-
ton, ILL.,, the past three months, came to
Freeport on foot, nearly all the way
through the woods, having run away from
Barleyville for fear he would be killed. He
arrived in Freeport half-scared to death,
and almost worn out with fatigue, as he
had been on the tramp all night.
President Broadwater, of the Montana
Central, who has just returned from st.
Paul, said to a reporter: The Manitoba
extensio on into Montana is advancing rapid
ly, and this autumn rails will be laid to the
Montana line. The company's depot will
be established and throughout the winter
oak ties and iron will be hauled there, and
piled ready to prosecute work in the spring.
Enough ties to cover the ground to Great
Falls Ito which point we have arrange
ments made for ties from this end), and
iron enough to bring the road into Helena
without any Ills and doubts or con-
ditions whatever. Manitoba trains will be
running into Helena on or before Oct. 1,
1887.
At Byron, Mich, Sam Hadden a crippled

claims that he acted in self-defense.
