A NEW HOTEL PROJECT.
The German Minister Asked to Sell His
Residence 70 . Boston Syndicate.

The scheme to erect splendid hotel edi.
fee upon the site Of Wormley's hotel has been
mentioned IN TEE STAR. Several Boston men
of wealth are backing the enterprise and have,
il is believed, secured the refusal Of the Worm
ley hotel property from the Hooper heirs.
They also desire to purchase the adjoining
property on 18th street, which il owned BY the
German government and occupied by the Ger
man legation. Count d. Arco Valley, the min
lister, has carefully considered the proposition
made by the Boston syndicate to give finer
structure, more fashionably located, in ex-
change for the present residence. The sugges-
ton Impressed the count very forcibly, and
after hearing all that the parties had to offer
he has sent . report to the foreign Office ct
Berlin, which, it is understood, was favorable
to the offer made.
It is intimated that the residence offered in
exchange Is that now owned and occupied by
Mr.. Alexander Graham Bell. II it should
transpire that the kaiser's plenipotentiary will
occupy this stately structure, he will be able to
vie in the elegance Of his Inequalities with the
other representatives, Of foreign governments
in this city.

BoULANGER SAYS HE WILL BE IN POWER IN
SHORT ORDER If THE GOVERNMENT TRIES IT.
Regarding the rumors OF a contemplated
coup detat in Paris, La France says Gen.
Boulanger in an interview asserted that he had
definite information that Prime Minister
Floquet was making preparations for coup
against the Boulsngists and abandoned them
only because they were prema.urely revealed.
The Journal Des Debats ridicules the rumors of
a coup d'etat, and says they are only the mag
nifed echoes Of the talk Of the deputies who
have urged the government to adopt the ener-
getic measures for the suppression Of Boulanger
intrigues.
Gen. Boulanger In another interview de-
clared that he would give anything for the
government to do what had been affirmed.
France would never submit to such a coup
detat and in fortnight his party would be in
power. He had no fear of assassination and
took no precautions,

story Of a coup d'etat, but articles written bv
