A SCRAP In THE DEPUTIES.
BOulanger Calls Floquet Liar and Re-
signs His Seat

| BOulanger Calls E1O0uet a and Re-
l signs His Seat.
PARIS, July 12.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day Gen. Boulanger pro-
posed the dissolution of the chamber.
His proposition was rejected. Gen.
Boulanger thereupon resigned his seat.
In his speech proposing the dissolu-
ton, he said that such course
was imperative and that elections ought
to be held before the celebration of
the centenary of the revolution of
1889. The country demanded the in
stltution of new safeguards to secure
the republic from the attacks of its ad-
versaries, against which it was power
less. The Chamber of Deputies was
falling into ruin and decay and
the country was trembling with
emotion at always having presented
to it as an enemy a citizen who always
desired the welfare of the repub-
lie. The monarchists were watching
the. republic, expectant of it's death
agony. The country felt that it's safety
demanded a revision of the constitu-
ton. He did not doubt that the patriot
ism of the deputies was on level with
their sense of duty. He would do his
duty by demanding the passage of
resolution that the chambers, being con.
vinced of the necessity for fresh cleo
tons, ask President Carnot for a disso-
luton.
Premier Floquet reproached Gen.
Boulanger for relying for support upon
the Right. Applause from the Left.
He said 1t was not for man like Gen.
Boulanger, who was always absent from
the chamber, to judge of its legislative
labors, or criticise Woodworking mem
bers. What had Gen. Boulanger done?
Gen. Boulanger-I made an appeal to
the country.
NJ. Floquet-The country answers you
in the Charente election.
NJ. Spain (Bonapartist deputy for
Charente)-The country unanimously
pronounced, through me, for revision.
M. Floquet-We have never recog
| nized you as one Of us. You are lin
gerer in Secristes, in the antechambers
Of princes. We will celebrate the CEN
tennary by proclaiming the supremacy
! of the civil power. We represent uni
versal suffrage. We have rendered
| more service to the public than you
can do harm. You demand dissolution.
| 1t is in your party that it exists. Your
| photographs come from Germany,
| where your interests lie. Cheers from
| the Left and uproar among the mem
| bers of the Right.
Gen. Boulanger-M. Floquet's speech
is only the utterance of badly educat-
ed school usher. He in no way alludes
to the general policy of revision. He
merely makes personal attacks. I tell
him now, as / told him amid the noise,
that he impudently lies.
| After a scene of excitement, the
president of the chamber said that be-
fore applying censure be would allow
Gen. Boulanger to speak. Gen. Bou-
LANCER asked if censure was to be ap-
piled to NJ. Floouet or to himself.
| The Presidential was you that first
attacked the chamber. The last words
you uttered make it necessary to apply
a severe rule.
Gen. Boulanger protested against
regime which did not respect the iber-
ty of the tribune. He said that in view
Of the Presidents decision, he would
resign his seat. The General thereup-
on left the chamber followed by his par
| tisans.

The point was whether the Minneapolis
water power stock and certain railroad
bonds constituted such notwithstanding
securities as would yield with certainty
the sum required. The conditions of
the settlement are not made public.
THE tragic death of August Menk, a
farm hand in the employ of Lars SAILS
man, about seven miles north of indie
pendence, which until now appeared to
be a case of suicide, was cold-blooded
murder. This has been made clear by
the confession of Thomas Murphy, a
burglar from st. Paul, who has been OPP
Grating in the neighborhood. The in
quest had closed with verdict of "death
at his own hands," when Murphy APP
peared, confessed the crime, and sur
rendered himself to the authorities.
Murphy SAYS he failed to blow open the
safe in Peterson's store, at Elk Creek,
on the night of the crime, and subse-
quently wandered to Salsman's granary,
where he found Menk asleep and shot
him. To shield himself he carried
the mans body to grass-plat
| near by and placed the revol-
yer in the dead mans hand.
He cannot account for his impulse
to murder Menk other than by saying
that he grew reckless and desperate
| over his failure at Peterson's store.
When he recovered his self-possession
his conscience gradually brought him to
full sense of his villainy, and even now
| that he has unburdened his mind he is
| i'll at ease. He says he will plead guilty
and take the consequences. Menk was
a single man of quiet disposition and
well liked by his employer.
The body of John F. Hartwig, an old
German laborer, was found in pond
near the Muskego Avenue crossing of
the St. Paul tracks, Milwaukee. AS the
pool is quite shallow and not.where any
one passing along the travelled way
would be likely to have walked into it by
accident, it is believed that the old man
must have lain down and deliberately
let himself drown.
TIRED of existence and wearied by the
many troubles of his long life, Capt.
Ernst F. Herzberg, of Milwaukee, shot
himself through the body, inficting a
| wound from which he died few hours
later. The dead man was over Y years
of age, had served CALAMITY through the
war of the rebellion and had also served
five years at Waupun for attempted
murder. Complications arising from
domestic troubles sent him to the peni-
Tertiary and dependency produced by
his rugged fortune drove him to sui
| eide

BERLIN, July 1.-THE Vossische lei

yesterday Of the German physicians
who attended the late Emperor Freder

says it is understood that independent
medical authority will soon show, in a

conclusions arrived at by the German
physicians were incorrect The Messrs.
Decker, publishing firm, have COM

adjusting the canula in the orifce in the

Meeting of the Republican Executive
Committee at New York.
New YORK, July 10.-The National Re-
publican Executive Committee are in
session here to-day. 1t has been sug-
gested by some of the party managers
that it would, for many reasons, be ex-
pedient to keep the national campaign
separate from the state canvass, and to
secure this end the national committee,
it is reported, will to-day decide upon
securing Independent headquarters.
An encouraging letter was received
from Gen. Harrison as to the present
outlook in Indiana. The Republican
state committee has vigorously COM
menced the work before it and will hold
a special meeting to-day to make ar
engagements for the fall state convention
which will probably be held in SYRIA
cuse.

DELAYING THE FUNERAL.
Demand for Investigation of Mr.. Mande
WILLIE, Death.


DUBLIN, July 10.-The funeral of Mr..
Vaudeville, formerly chairman Of the
Mitchellstown Board of Guardians, who
was with William O'Brien in Tulla-
more Jail, and whose death is said to
have been caused by the privatio ns
he suffered during his incarceration,
was to-day postponed to await the ar
rival of a number of members of the
Irish parliamentary party, who have
announced their intention to be present
at the obsequies. The Nationalist ad-
vocates coroner's inquest on the body
of Mr.. Vaudeville. Magistrate Murphy
writes to the Freeman's Journal
that he visited Mr.. Vaudeville during
his confinement at Tullamore and found
him living on diet OF bread and water,
which the authorities had ordered be-
cause of Mr.. Mandeville's refusal to
herd with the scum in the Jail or to
perform degrading Offices.

Not Hazardous for Harrison.

From the New YORK Tr1bune.
Although he has been in the field
bit little more than week, Gen.
Harrison has been called upon perhaps
half dozen times TO speak without
preparation-an ordeal usually regard
ed as extremely hazardous for a presi-
Dental candidate, and each time he
has spoken readily, freely, with orator
ical effect, and with satisfying fulness
of thought indicative of a mind richly
stored. 1t would hardly be a compli-
ment to say that he has made no slips.
There is nothing to conceal either in his
record or his views, and he does not
need to keep watch upon his tongue.

Name an Executive Chairman.
New YORK. July 10.-There are rumors
about the Fifth Avenue Hotel to the eff
feet that some difficulty has been ex-
perienced in finding chairman for the
executive committee of the Democratic
National Committee. 1t is said that
Senator Arthur P. German, Of Mary
land, had been asked to accept the
Craftsmanship, which involves the man
agement of the CAMPAIGN, and that he
had refused. When the attention of
Congressman William L. Scott, of Erie,
Pa, was called to this rumor he dryly
said: q never knew that Mr.. German
had been offered the place." In conse-
quence of Mr.. Germans refusal, it is
thought that Calvin S. Bryce, of Ohio,
will be chairman, It was also said by
several Republicans about the hotels
that Congressman Samuel j. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, intended to 60 to Europe
for several months.

From the Cleveland Leader.

Mr.. Watterson has too much self-re-
spect to pretend that there could be
any honesty in the election count in
Louisiana in April that gave the Demo-
cratic candidates $4,000 more votes than
were cast for Cleveland in 1884. The
Louisiana election was an infamous
fraud, and every intelligent Democrat
knows it. A few Of them have too much
self-respect to lie about it, but most of
them have not.

You cannot reverse the logic of the

by dry details of argument; if you dom t
out-sing them, the results of 1910 will re-
peat themselves in 1888. The Repub-
leans are singing their party back to
power because their opponents have
not a song of their own but what
is redolent of treason, or tune but has
had its melodies associated with seces-

If the Republican party controlled
every Northern state it might be called
a sectional party. Because the Democ-
racy controls every state in the. South it
is sectional party. 1t is a solid sec
tional party arrayed against divided,
non-sectional party; a party of slavery
and of abject failure arrayed against a
party of freedom, union and success; q
party of dead and loathesome past ar
rayed against a party of the living pres
ent with all the changes and new con-
ditions growing out of its success.
