PARIS, Jan. 27.--The Boulangist organi-
cation Is perfect, and the followers of the
General were everywhere instructed to
maintain perfect order, otherwise the
cause of their chief would be seriously in
jured These instructions have been car
ried out TO the letter, and no disturbances
have occurred. The excitement ut
eight o'clock this evening, when the
returns showed that Boulangcr's ma
jority in st. Dennis was five thousand,
was very great In the Eighth Arran-
dissement, Boul anger polled three times rs
many votes as his opponent, Jacques, and
this announcement added to the excite
ment The members of the Government
are astounded at the result and bets are
freely offered that the ministry will
resign tomorrow. The complete
returns from the Department OF
the Seine give Boulanger 244,0I0;
jacques, 1G2, 500; Bonile, 10, 7G0; other can
didates, 10,55S. General Boulanger will
resign his seat for the Department Of the
Seine, to which he was elected to-day, and
retain his representation in the Chamber
of Deputies in the Department of the
Norde. 1t is rumored that NJ. Magnin,
Governor of the Bank of France, will be
asked to form new Cabinet.

Extra Session Rinhly Probable.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The fact that the
Mills bill, with the Senate substitute, was
yesterday sent to the Ways and
Means Committee, has revived, in Repub-
lican circles at least, the talk of an extra
session. The Republicans accept the
reference as an assurance that no tariff
legislation will be had this Congress- They
say that some reduction of the
revenue is desirable and necessary, and
this cGn be reached only by an extra ses-
sion. Mr.. Mckinley, who has heretofore
been rather avcrse to an extra session, to-
day voiced the sentiment of tho consorva-
tive elementwhen he said to n representa-
tive of the United Press that thevote of
reference had done more to make likely an
extra session than any thing else in the
past six weeks.

FRESH INSULTS
BY Drunken German Sailors at
Apia.
An American Stabbed and Several Houses
Destroycd-The Flag u Failure asa
Protection Againat Their
Atrocities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 25.-The Evening
Post has information from Samoa that on
December 81, three days after the fight be-
tween the German marines and Mataafa's
men, the German officer sent further or
ders to Mataafa to surrender, and he told
them that they attacked him, and he would
fight to the death. Then the Germans had
wild debauch in the town. About 300
sailors and marines got drunk and charged
through the town, doing all sorts of
wanton damage. They destroyed lot of
houses in Apia owned by Americans and
stabbed nn American named Snyder.
There was an American negro named
Brooks who had boat. They chased
him, and, though he displayed the Ameri-
can flag in his boat and said he was an
American, they said ''all niggers are
rebels" and arrested him. He was re-
leased little while afterward. After
December 2S, the Germans evidently be-
gan to fear that Mataafn would make an
aggressive fight, for they became very
careful, and the men were not allowed to
come on shore.

The Brother of the Governor of Alaska Ar
rives With Some Fresh Facts.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27-Fresh from Alaska,
MIR. ID. A. Swineford, brother to the Ter
ritorial Governor, was at the Grand Pa-
ciflc to-day, with some new facts about
the country. "My brother would gladly
retract some of the charges he has made in
his reports to tho Government concerning
the Alaska Fur Company" said he. "Since
his last report hc has visited the Seal
Islands, Ito miles north of Sitka, and
found that on those islands the company
was observing the terms of its lease.
Travelling in that country is altogether by
water, and those of the United Statos who
live in Sitka know very little of the real
condition of things, except by hearsay.
We are hearing stories constantly Of tho
ill-treatment and swindling of the Indians
by the agents of the company outside the
Seal Islands AT those islands Governor
Swineford tried very hard to buy the skin
of seal otter. He offered one native $125
for skin that was during the next hour
sold to a company agent for $40. The
truth is that the owners of the company
have n good thing, and are making all
they can out of it,O

BERLIN, Jan. 2t-The North German
Gazette prince B-smarck's organ) denies
the existence of any treaty precluding any
European power from acquiring or seeking

contrary to the stipulations of the
treaties concerning Samoa and are op-
posed TO diplomatic etiquette, and that
these powers have officially notified the
German government accordingly. The
treaties between Samoa, Germany. Eng
land and the United States, the Gazette
further says, provide that Samoa shall
concede to each treaty power equal rights
with any other power, but no treaty re-
earding the neutrality or independence of
Samoa exists between Germany and the
Unitcd States.

North German Gazette, relative to the
