PARIS, April l4.-Meetings OF elect

jected resolution favoring the can
didacy of General Boulanger. M.
Paul DeRoulede, in letter to the pa

port General Boulanger, whose name,
he says, means neither dictatorship
nor war, but Independent and
self-respecting peace, and France can
not exist under the pseudo monarchi-
cal constitution of 1875. 1t is un-
worthy of argument to say that Ger.
many would declare war if General
Boulanger were elected President. He
believes that Russia could not dc
otherwise than favor Frances will

CHICAGO, April 14.-In the presence
of hundreds of people on a business
thoroughfare in Chicago, Simon Ro-
senfeld, a travelling salesman, stabbed
himself to the heart with penknife
this afternoon and fell to the ground
dead. State street, near Washington,
the center of fashionable shopping
district, was the scene of the tragedy.
Rosenfeld is member Of .
wealthy Detroit family. He has been
unable to retain positions long for the
past two years on account of drink
| ing He recently had been at work for Z
billiard table company, and used so
collected from customer with which
to have a spree. As he was standing
on the street this afternoon messen-
ger brought him word that the mani
ager of the company wished to see
him, and it is supposed Rosenfeld
killed himself, fearing imprisonment
| for his shortcomings,
