POPULAR BOULANGER.
An Admission That the Military Idol 10
 Crafty Politician.

PARIS, April 11.-Curiosity is still at high pitch as to where the Boulangerists obtained funds to carry on such an extensive campaign as the present one in favor of the cafe hero proves to be. Various theories are advanced, but no one has yet learned the source of the outflow. An attempt to connect Gen. Bou- langer with the iniquitous transactions of Daniel Wilson and his clique seems to have failed from the start, and, indeed, such inferences only add to the popularity of the ex-army officer, as no one believes them.
 It is suggested that the spectators who have engaged in the precarious undertaking of furnishing his admirers with 40, 900 busts of to-day's idol are simply sending good money after bad, as before the images can be disposed of the hero may be dethroned and another take his place.
 The boldness of the Boulangerists and their trust in the security of their position could hardly be better illustrated than by the suit for damages which Count Dillon has brought against the paper Le Matin, for breach of confidence in making public the telegraph dispatches that passed between himself and Gen. Boulanger. These dispatches prove that Boulanger was all the time seeking his nomi- nation for deputy in the various departments where he was voted for, although he pub icly professed that the nomination was made unawares to him. But in bringing the suit Count Dillon has been forced to admit that the dispatches were genuine, thereby proving the general crafty politician. Such, how ever, is his present strength that even this damaging admission may not hurt him.

The Waters Recedine.

ST. PAUL, April 1.-The reports from St. Peter and Spring Lake say the river has fallen about six inches, and that no danger is now anticipated unless another rise is ex- perienced, which is not probable, At both points the water is slowly receding, and is clear of ice At East Henderson the gauge shows the water about five and half feet below the high water mark of 1881. The water is over the road between the depot and the town, and passengers, mail and express have to be transferred from the depot in boats. The wagon road is badly washed out and furrowed by ravines. Considerable ice is floating in the river, and it is believed that the water has reached the highest point.

Photographs to Supplant Etc!,ings.

Mayor Hewitt and the Flap,.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Mayor Hewitt has vetoed the aldermanic ordinance by which the authority to display flags on the city buildings is vested in the mayor, unless other wise ordered by majority of the board. The mayor says that there is no attempt to con- ceal the fact that the Irish flag on St. Patrick's day is meant by the ordinance. The best way to get at it, he says, is to pass an ordinance directing that the flag be displayed on every 17th of March. The ordinance vetoed is, he says a clumsy subterfuge.
