but steady at S4.S6l2 for sixty.day bills and

day was quiet except i'll Reading and st.
Paul. Although the news of the day is favor
able, the movements were confined to the
smallest limits. and left prices within small
fractions of last evenings closing prices At
the opening London was buyer of Reading,
st. Paul and some others, but the temper of
the room was uncertain and mixed. The
attack was resumed upon st. Paul, while
Richmond & West Point and New England
were quite weak, resulting in losses of from
Is TO "a per cent. 1t was stated that the party
who have been bullish on st. Paul evened up
their losses by selling Northwestern, and
were closing out their holdings i'll st. Paul,
taking advantage of the late favorable finan-
clal news. This kept the stock weak, and to
some degree made the entire list feverlsh and
unsettled. After the early losses there was
rally, and the losses, except in the weak
stocks, were recovered with something in adj
dition, and Missouri Pacific was very strong,
advancing 11s per cent. The best figures
were reached toward IL o'clock, after
which prices sagged of, and the market
closed dull ana steady with put little
change from first prices. The final changes
are irregular, but are confined to fractions
only, the most important being gains of "a in
Canada Southern and 5s in Missouri Pacific,
and a loss of Is i'll st. Paul. The railroad
bona market was unusually active, the sales
for the two hours aggregating $1,030.OO0
while the tone of the market was strong
throughout, and final prices generally show
advances. Indiana, Bloomington & Western

Bou,anger and France.

Yesterday, General Boulanger was candi
date for e,ctiun to the French Assembly
from the Drpai tment of lie Noid, the larg-
est and most important assembly district in
all France. He was rot standing for cleo
ton simply because he wished a seat in the
French Assembly, because tile Department
of Dordogne had already elected him to the
Assembly. But the seat rendered him by
Dordogne he refused. in order 10 go through
an election in lie Nord. What does he
mean by this performance" is the natural
and inevitable, and also the puzzing ques-
tim. There are few who can answer ii,
even in France. A consideration of the
character Of the man himself, of his avowed
views. and of the character of his support
ers. max, The question all the more puzzling
and interesting. General Boulanger pre-
tends TO want revision of the French con-
stitution, such as will put the government
more IN harmony with Il e spirit of France;
revision which would make government
more democratic and that probably would
change materially the constitution Of the
French Senate, which is now a highly aristo-
cratic body. But we find that his chief sup
porters, the men on whom he relied in LIE
Nord yesterday, ale Hot earnest Republicans
but Monarchists, who believe in abolishing,
remodelling the republic. He was alsa en-
Enthusiastically supported By the peasants, who
hate Ferry aud the OpportuDist Republicans
for the sacrifices of French youth made in
the abortive Tonquin campaigns, which Bou-
LANCER is understood to disapprove. But
Boulange1 snot, therefore, man Of peace.
He has orenly said that he believes in hav
ing Frances army in the highest possible
state OF efficiency, and and he is usually
believed TO favor a war of revenge on Ger
many Such n war would no doubt be ia
vored by these same peasants who would not
begrudge their youth sent towards the Rhine
in patriotic war, as they do those sent to
Asia in a useless war; That such a war is
possible nuder the present Republic seems
unlikely. France viii hardly go to war with
Germany without Russia, and Russia puts
no faith in any alliance with the Republic,
because the ministry which makes an all-
ance today, may be followed tomorrow by
another that will undo it. But, under
monarchy, with man like the Count of
Paris On the throne, Russia might readily
consent to the needful alliance Perhaps
some such considerations as these prompted
the Monarchsts of LIE Nord. who yesterday
supported the popular soldier who wants to
see the constitution Of France revised"

seating about 3,12O in all. In other words,
the seating capacity of the Catholic churches
is 30, 925: of the Protestant churches. $685.
IN proportion to their relative numbers, the
Protestants are far better supplied with
churches. as there are but about $4,000 Pro-
testants to 10000 Catholics in Montreal.
The church attendance, week ago yester-
day reached, for all three services total of
Ill ,473 Catholics and 3l,l75 Professionals.
That is, the total attendance of the Catho-
lies represented about "A per cent. of their
numbers; Of the Protestants, about 81 per
cent. 1t will be noticed that this is a much
better showing for the Professionals than was
made in Lewiston, where over seventy per
cent OF The French Canadian Catholics and
sixty per cent. of the Irish Catholics go to
church. to only twenty-five per cent. of the
Protestant population. Yet the Canadian
papers are preaching to the Montreal Prot
estants that they are getting careless and
must attend church more regularly.

Secretary of-war Endicott and President
Cleveland have united in publicly repre-
handing Brigadier General John Gibbon,
because the latter has given an Interpretation
to one of the articles Of war that Secretary
Endieott regards as contrary Gto the rulings
of the War Department. General Gibbons
Is the old commander of the Iron Brigade"
that used TO be heard OF in the days Of Gettys-
burg. He was severely wounded while com
manding the Second Army Corps on that fa-
nous field. Later he led the Twenty-Fourth
Army Corps at the final assaults on Peters
burg. He was also one of the commissioners
to carry into effect the stipulations of Lees
surrender. But it appears that the man who
served with such distinction when Abraham
Lincoln and Edwin NJ. Stanton used to -un
the army has been found so deficient in mill
tary knowledge under Grover Cleveland and
w. C. Endicott as to receive a public repri-
mand at their hands.
