RouIanger's Schemes.

General Boulanger's book is regarded as a
direct appeal to the French army to support
him in possible coup d. etat, and it Is now
seen that the reforms instituted by him
while Minister Of War, whereby the French
soldier came into possession Of comforts and
the exercise of privilege heretofore denied
him, were conceived and put into operation
with the same Interior view. Boulanger has
organized an extensive political bureau un-
der the management Of Count sDillon, who,
having entirely severed his connection with
the Mackay- Bennett Transatlantic cable
interests, will devote his whole time tc-the
propagation of Boulangist doctrines. Count
Dillon has inducted several Of his former ca
BILE employees into the bureau In the capacity
OF assistants and the machinery Of that part
OF the Generals political system may be re-
gardedd as fairly In motion.

The Spectator Alarmed.

The London Spectator has this to say
about the European situation: "There Is
not rift visible in the cloud that hangs over
all Europe. We have no wish to play the
part of alarmists, but it is foolish to close
our eyes to the accumulating signs that seri-
GUS dangers, dangers to England as well as
as to peace, may be close at hand The In
stinct which forces all civilized men to stand,
as itwere, in hushed awe and pain around
the Emperor Frederick's dying bed springs
from no mere emotion OF natural pity for a
fate at once so melancholy and so grand.
The world feels that emotion keenly, has
felt it through all the weary disputes Of the
doctors and the sickening accounts Of palace
jealousy and intrigue; but 1t feels also the
first thrill Of an OYermastering fear. with
the monarch who faces death so calmly
glad, as he avows, to be rid OF life ehoked
with unrealiZed hopes-there passes away
the lOftiest barrier now standing between us
and European eOnfiagratiOn. His success
sor, young, inexperienced and military, can
not venture on those great combinations.
those immense and far reaching comprom-
ises by which alone the great war could be
permanently ayerted, perhaps will not even
wish to avert It, He may not attack, though
we should fear for his resolution IL he were
insulted; but he will stand waiting, fully
armed, and confident that in the last resort
the strength of Germany will suffice TO win
any field. He Is, by the judgment OF every
man who knows him, fighting HOhenzOl-
lern, and every student of history recognizes
what that description means.

Steamship Company does not appear to DC
making much progress in its efforts to IN
duce Congress to assist such coioTeo peope
as desire to leave this country and go to

been interviewed OF the subject, but they
do NOT seen to take very deep interest In
the matter. for the reason, a5 they claim,
that the colored people now in the United
States prefer 80 remain here rather IAN
emiprste to Africa or any other foreign,
country. a member of theSenate, who was
supposed to be familiar with the operations
of this company, when questioned on the
subject. said that, according to his under
standing of the situation, the steamship
company has its existence simply on paper
and it proposes that the government shall
provide the means for the construction OF
one or more steamships, to be used exclu-
sively for Transporting to the Congo country

for the company has visited the Capltol ire
ouently during the past tew years, but up 70
date he has failed to make the members OF
the appropriations committee appreciate the
magnitude or the philanthropic spirit Ut the
scheme. Senator Sawyer few days ago pre-.
sented an amendment 10. the eundry ciV!

who desires to go 20 the Congo. 1t IS under
