He Is Considered Politically Dead-Things
He Threatens to Do.
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-Five hundred French
residents of London visited General Bou-
langer in body to-day and presented him
with an address of sympathy and conf
dence. The General in speech, said that
he had never used money belonging to
France except when trying to secure her
against enemies. If he had been cited by a
regularly constituted court of assizes he
and his colleagues would have taken the
first boat for France to face trial. The
French government did not dare 10 avail
themselves of the ordinary courts, but
formed a special tribunal composed of his
demned him before it met. In conclusion
he said he only asked good faith from the
French people and the triumph of the pres
ent rule would be a thing of the past.
Lord Delaware, at Buckhurst Park, in Sus-
sex, does not fear being taken back to
France, since the only extraditable crime
of which he has been convicted is the mis-
appropriation of funds. and under the En-
glish law, if he is extradited for that Of
fense, he can't be punished for political
one.
The general verdict of Europe is that
Boulanger is politically dead. He cannot
return to Paris in any circumstances short
high court of Justice being visited upon
him. However. one of his followers in
Paris tells the correspondent of the Times
that the Generals condemnation only as
sists the cause, and outlines his future pol
icy thus:
He will come secretly to Paris, spread q
mysterious watchword among the popula-
tiOn, appear on horseback some fine morn
ing at a point unknown to the police or
government, but known to his supporters,
and followed by mob like that of Care de
Lyon, Overwhelm III an hour the headquar-
ters of the government in Paris. He will
then take possession of the Elysee, Cham
Der of Deputies. Senate, Hotel de Vile and
ministries, and will become master of Paris.
But the brave General is also a prudent
general, and there is little chance that he
will take the risk. Nevertheless, Partisan
stone and other towns along the coast, to
report his departure in case he should at
tempt to enter France.
Boulanger received the news of his SEN
tence while at dinner with Lord Delaware,
just as he was engaged with grouse he
and said that it would only give the French
people another proof of the animus of his
enemies. but it was noticed that his dinner
was spoiled. and that, with all his self-com-
mand he was unable to conceal his anxiety
and dependency.
and Orleanists are Outspoken in their ad-
miratiOn for BOulanger. while the Bona
partists are carefully effacing themselves
to make way for their new ally. The Count
of Paris is reported to have said: "Send me
twenty-five BOulangists to the next Cham
ber," and the name of the General was
greeted with louder cheers than that of
Prince Albert Victor at the great Imperial
ist banquet at the Hotel Wagram, i'll Paris,
on Thursday evening.
