A/OASA~SAS3 1eo~>S'/.
triumphant election of Gen Boulanger
has for the moment overshadowed in i'm
portance even the incorporate speech Of
the German emperor at Frankfort, and
little is talked of but that at the French
capital. His success has surpassed the
expectations of the most extravagant OF
his friends and has heaped confusion
upon his enemies and given the lie to the
confident political prophets Who pre-
dicted his ignominious defeat. While,
however, the friends of the doughty gen.
eral are jubilant over his victory, they do
not permit themselves to forget the SEN
timents expressed in Emperor Williams
unfortunate address, and this feeling is
shared by large numbers of persons who
are not included among Boulanger's ad-
herents. Even a great many Germans
are understood to deplore the expressions
to which their ruler gave utterance. In
Paris the most charitable opinion as well
as the one most prevalent is that the
young kaiser was so far under the in
fuence of intoxicants when he delivered
his speech thatin ordinary circumstances
he should not be held accountable for his
words, but SO palpable a challenge to a
neighboring nation as that issued by the
ruler of Germany is regarded as requir-
ing more lucid explanation than any of
the kaiser's apologists have as yet vouch-
safed. Meanwhile the Germans profess
to consider eFery move of Gen. Boulan-
ger toward prominence in his country as
direct menace to the fatherland. A
very large portion of the inhabitants of
France are disposed to regard the gen
erals success as much more dangerous
to the peace of the republic than the well
fare of the empire beyond tie Rhine.

New ALBANY, Ind, Aug. 29. "A vel
informed gentleman from Crawford
county says: It is known that the White
Cap organization in Crawford county held
a meeting near Marietta few nights
ago, and after a heated discussion re-
solved to disband the Organization. This
action is said to have been brought about
by the fear that Attorney General Mich
ener had become advised of the inside
workings of the organization through
some of the members who had been
promised immunity on condition that
they give up all the facts connected with
the many outrages in that county and
also in Orange county by the hands Of
the regulators or White Caps. The gen-
tleman says that the people are thor.
oughly aroused over the outrages and
that the White Caps will be compelled to
hunt their holes if the governor will
show bold front and aid them in their
work. All that is needed is to assure
the people of protection and there will be
plenty of men ready to testify to facts
and the identity Of parties engaged in the
work of regulating the community. It
is said that there will be some startling
developments in few days.
