The World correspondent has Just paid
flying visit to Lille, the headquarters of
the Boulanger electoral campaign. Lille is
Boulapger mad. The usually sleepy town
is in the widest excitement. Posters and
placards every where declare that Boulanger
is the saviour of France. Thecraze over
Boulanger means war. The question is
the only one Of the hour. Grain and d. v
goods are as completely forgotten as II
such comm odities never existed Business
seems completely at standstill. Bands of
men patrol the streets, bawling for or
against the hero of the hour. Fights take
place between the two parties. 1t Is Don

ensues, everybody jumps up and wants to
tackle somebody. Beer glasses and chairs
are raised
The government is much to blame for
this tumult. A squad of political agents
has been sent down to work the people:up
against Boulanger. The most abominable
calumnies about the candidate are circu-

Many electors arc firmly convinced
that on the morrow Of Boulanger's
election coup detat win take

masses II is the opinion that BOulanger

Carnot and the two chambers, and will

MISS MolIjnelli appeared before a crowd
ed house last evening at the Academy
Chapel. Her lecture on the "Stage, Drama
and Music" was remarkable for its historic
and literary worth, and the thoughts and
words of the authors were won derfully in.
terpreted and illustrated by her emotional
and tragic acting. Her rare beauty, unaf-
fected manner, her wealth of flowing
tresses, her distinct articulation and eDun-
citation, her ease and grace OF manner,
gained at once the hearts OF the audience.
Under the circumstances, with no opera
house and no company to support her, she
more than fulfilled our expectations.

made nice deal on Friday last. They sold
80 acres of garden land to jacob Goetz,
Henry Baer and Frank Guse, consideration

parties who bought it intend to bring an
excellent gardener from the east, and have
this land worked on an extensive scale.
Messrs. Dillmsn & Hudgins deserve a great

Spokane & Montrose Motor Rail.
road,

Among the first evidences OF awakening
to metropolitan airs this spring was the
work inaugurated on the Spokane s. Mon
trose Motor street railroad as soon as lit
tie before the frost was out of the ground.
That work has been pushed steadily along
without intermission. Anyone viewing the
line will see at once that no obstacle is 80
great as to hinder the construction of the
roadbed on q good grade and indicati ms
all along promise a hrst.class road. The
greater portion of the line is now graded.
Steel rails have already been received and
distributed along the line. The first IN otor,
engine, left Pittsburg on the 18th inst.
Ties are now being delivered along the line.
Everything indicates an early completion
of this important line. Our citizens will
rejoice when they can be carried quickly
and cheaply to the shady groves and spark
ling fountains Of Montrose Park. No one
will be credited with having seen Spokane
hereafter unless he has ridden over Its
heights on the Spokane & Montrose rail
road. The coaches, now under construc-
ton by Stephenson, of New York, and
Brill, Oi Philadelphia, are to be first-class.
This will be the route for all local picnics
and family excursions.
The elevated property south Of the busi-
ness portion of the CITY will now come to
the front as the healthiest and most fash
iOnAble residence section. Those who buy
early along the Motor line can build and
live comfortably, or rent to advantage. as 1t
will be in close communication with the
city. Montrose Park, to which the line
runs, is q beauti tract of land, artis-
tically laid out "a unsurpassed for the
location Of real l. This choice tract
was selected many cars ago on account of
its many advantages. The many applica-
tions to purchase property there by lovers
Of good homes will now he considered, as
the new Motor line makes II most desir-
able. We predict that it will not he long
before Munt,ose Park will be to Spokane

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE..


WASHINGTON, April 2f.-A contest has
arisen between the special order home
stead bill and the river Shd harbor bill;
Anaily the house refused, yeas S5, nays
l27, to consider the special order and the
house went into com mi.tee OF the whole
ON the river and harbOr bill, with Mr.. Nc
MILAN, OF Tennessee in the chair.
The amendment apropriating S25, 900
for the improvement Of the harbor OF
Phlladelphia, was adopted. Henderson,
Of Iowa, speaking to a verbal amendment,
regretted that he could not give his APP
-proval to the bill. 1t made apprc priations
for rivers and harbors which 1t would test
the geographical knowledge Of any gem
ueman in the house to locate on the maps.
The 47th congress lad passed river and
harbOr bill of SIS, ,000,0 and the demo-
carts had gone into the next congress
and painted on their banners ''down with
tho republican party. because it passed
this enormous bill," the verdict OF the
people had been against this appropria-
tion. With this piece Of history in his
memory, he did not propose to vote for a
bill which went beyond that which had
been condemned by the people in 's2.
without further action the committee
rose and the house adjourned.
THE FIsHERIEs TRADE.
Breckenridge's copyrighted bill was to-
day favorably reported to the house judici-
ary committee, Dunn's free shipping bill as
reportedto the house to-day, by the commit
toe of merchant marine and fisheries is
Identical with the bill reported to the last
congress, with the exception of the amend
ments limiting the business of foreign built
vessels admitted to American registry 20
foreign trade, and expressly prohibiting
them from engaging In coast wise trade
with the United States. The majority re-
port is similar to that which accom-
panied the bill when IL was reported during
the last congress, witLthe addition of state
ment that to longer retain in force a super
anuated, so-called protection, to our mer
chant marine and the ship building inter-
ests OF our country, which have produced
the present disasterous and humiliating
conditions would seem to be worse than
ordinary folly, and would be "protection
run mad"
The minority report signed by Dingley
Farquehsr, Hopkins. Fellon, Cummings
and CLARK, says the bill originates in re-
niarkable manner, and asserts that not
single person or association having connec-
tion with the interests touched by the hill
has by :personal appeal or petition asked
for the enactment of the bill into q law.
The minority SAYS Its enactment would
be most disasterous and would entirely
kill the ship building in this country be-
sides infiicting other damage and doubts
whether foreign vessels could be kept out of
che coast trade alter getting An American
register.

MINING PROPOSITION IN THE COUNTRY AND
YET ONLY IN THE INFANCY OF THEIR pEvEL.
oPMENr.
BURKE, Idaho, April 20.
Especial correspondence Of the REVIEW
To those who are familiar with mining
in other sections OF the country, trip to
the South Fork of the Cnur d'Alene and
Canyon Creek is revelation. No where
else can there be found so wide an area of
mineral producing country, the develop
ment of which pays from the grass roots
down, as general proposition. These
mines are yet but in the dawn OF their de-
velopment Scarcely two years ago the
discoveries, which are dividend paying
properties to-day, were but prospects. They
are, rs rule, operated on the tunnel plan
and with such modern appliances for con-
centratioD as enables their owners to enjoy
an economical management. The high
grade ores are shipped to the reduction
works throughout the country, and soon
yield enough to pay for development and
to provide for the concentration of the low
er grades, which in the meantime are a.
lowed to accumulate on the dumps.
THE conBIS SYSTEM
oAwater and railway navigation provides
an easy avenue of communication between
the great camps and the source of supplies
at Spokane. The Northern Pacific pro-
vides carrying facilities east and west, SO
that the shipper has a choice of reduction
works. And another ia ,ility for develop
ment which will be great advantage to
mine owners who may lack capital Is the
sanpling works now teing erpcted at Ccour
d'Alene city by Mr.. Burbridge, OF the Hol-
ton works, at Denver. Men who have
good mines and limited means may thus
ship their products in small quantities to
these sanpling works and secure his cash
for further development. They may thus
hold the property and not sacrifice it TO a
syndicate. Miners here anticipate a boom
in their galena products when the sm eiters
at Great Falls and Helena shall have begun
operations. These ores are absolutely nee
esssry TO the operation Of these smelters,
aud when the Manitoba shall have pepe.

cause ofthe strike is practically the same as

fetal to notice the retirement OF Deputy
Sheriff A. @. Duncan, who resigned his
