oRTaTNOF THE TROUBLE.

PARIS, July 13.--In the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday Gen. Boulanger
proposed the dissolution of the Cham
ber. His proposition was rejected.
FlOquet was severe upon Boulanger and
the Chamber was full of partisan up
roar. He said: 1--WE represent uni
versal suffrage. We have rendered
more service to the republic than you
can do harm. You demand dissolu-
ton. Your photographs come from
Germany, where your interests lie.n
Gen. Boulanger replied: "M. Flo
quet's speech is only the utterance of o
badly educated school usher. He in no
way alludes to the general policy of re-
vision. He merely makes personal at
tacks. I tell him now, as I told him
amid the noise, that he impudently
lies"
A great uproar followed, and when
the president was called upon to infiict
lcensure under the rules upon Bou-
LANCER he resigned. Afterwards, how
ever, the censure was applied.
After the sitting M. FlOquet sent
his seconds to Gen. Boulanger's house
with his challenge. Gen. Boulanger
was out, but the seconds were told they
would find him at midnight In news
paper office, whittier he had repaired.
M. Floquet seemed anxious to fight
before the affair got to the newspapers.
Gen. Boulanger intended to contest
successfully the departments of Dor
dogne, Loiret, Brdeche and the Nord.
THOUGHT TO BE FOR CIVIL WAR.
LONDON, July 13.-The Paris cores
pondent Of the Times says the common
belief is that Boulanger and followers,
owing to the daily decline of their
prestige, dream Of civil war; that they
intend to make the eftortto realize their
criminal hopes by provoking street
demonstrations for and against him.
1t was thought Boulanger's plans
would be furthered by riots and dis
turbances, which might produce con-
tempt for the existing regime.
BoULANGER IMPROVED.
PARIS, July 13.-At 8 o'clock this
evening there was marked improves
ment in General Boulanger'sc condition.
The doctors still decline to make a
diagnosis.
ANOTHER REPORT.
The S0ir says that the condition of
Gen. Boulanger is serious. A high fe-
yer has succeeded extreme prostration,
and his respiration is rapid and some
times very difficult. The doctors are
unable to form definite opinion as to
the GeneraPs prospects OF recovery.

BOulanger Fight in
France.
swoRDsARE THF WEAPONS; THE
HOUR 10 A. NJ.
They Fightto kin; Boulanger Perhaps
Fatally Hurt.

PARIS, July lS.-Premier Floquet and
Gen. Boulanger fought O duel this
morning at 10. The weapons used
were swords. ... It al- -sr.
The dueling ground was on Count
Dillon's estate at Neuilly, short dis
tance from Paris. Gen. Boulanger was
wounded in the arm and neck, while
Premier Floquet escaped with slight
scratch on the hand. ~
The members of the ministry awaited
the result Of the duel at the residence
of Pramier Floquet, and when that
gentleman returned he received q per-
feet ovation.
Only small crowd awaited the re-
turn of Gen. Boulanger
PARIS, July l3.-Later particulars of
the Boulanger-Floquet duel say that
Gen. Boulanger lost considerable blood
from the sword thrust through the
neck, but it Is not yet known how seri-
ously he is hurt. The General was ac-
companied by NM. LIE Herisse and
Laisant. M. Floquet was seconded by
MN. Clemenceau and Perrin. The
duel lasted only four minutes. Gen.
Boulanger seemed much excited, and
exhibited considerable nervousness
He made several passes at M. Floquet,
who was very pale and equally as ex-
cited as his antagonist; M. Floquet
handled his sword in very awkward
manner. After some half dozen passes
Gen. BOulonger made desperate dash
at M. Floquet, who thrust his sword out
and held 1t at arms length. Almost at
the same moment Gen. BoulaDger re-
ceived the point of his antagonists
weapon in the neck. The General
staggered, placed his hand to the
wound and fell unconscious in the
arms of NM. LIE Hausse and Laisant.
A doctor, who was present, at once
bandaged the throat of the wounded
man, but the flow of blood was only
partly checked. The gentleman was
Immediately carried from the field.-
Nothing definite could be learned of
his injuries. Hf
The affair was kept profound secret
from everyone except the principals
and their seconds. The news Of the
duel caused profound sensation in
Paris. Eye witnesses of the affair say
that Gen. Boulanger fought desperate
ly and displayed much feeling. He
tried very hard to kill his antagonist.
He threw himself again and again on
M. Floquet, making desperate lunges
with his sword at every onslaught
Both duelists refused to stop at the re-
quest of their seconds when M. Flo
quet's hand was cut. Gen. Boulanger's
wound in the neck is believed to be q
serious one. M. Floquet received
slight wounds on the hand, chest and
foot.

THE republicans are telling the people
that the Mills bill takes taxes off of
Northern products and keeps taxes on
Southern products This is rank false
hood remarks the Indianapolis Sentinel
The most important southern products
are cotton, wool. sugar, rice, whisky and
tobacco. Cotton is already on the free
list, although southern cotton completes
with that raised in India by the cheapest
labor in the world. The Mills bill leaves
cotton on the free list. Texas. the state
from which Mr. Mills comes. is the second
largest wool growing state in the union.
The Mills bill puts wool on the free list.
1t takes % per cent off the sugar duty,
aud makes reduction in the rice duty.
1t leaves both import duties and internal
taxes on whisky and tobacco. The re-
publicans propose to leave the import
duties on these articles, but to take the
internal taxes off, thus giving the pro-
ducers large protection while relieving
them of the burdens they would carry.
