United States Marshals Attempt to Make Evictions but are Met With Armed Resistence.
 FoRr DODGE, Iowa, April 4.-United States msrshals who attempted to make evictions from the Des Moines river lands to day were met with armed resistence and driven from the field. A mob of settlers, fully equipped with Winchester rifles, assembled at the homes of the settlers to be evicted and defed the officials. The mob greatly outnumbered the officials and the latter discreetly retired without attempting to force the farmers from their lands.
 United States Marshal Desmond, of Du- buque, will be called upon for more assis- tance before any further evictions will be at tempted. Sheriff Adams and posse are in readiness to make arrests for conspiracy but thought it advisable to postpone action until the present outbreak has peen sub dued

BOULANGER,s FLIGHT.

Paris Excited over B0uIangeR's Move
 ments-IfExpelled From Belgium He
 Will Go to London.
 PARIS, April 4-The most extraordinary excitement prevails in Paris over Boulanger's movements. There are many stories in re- gard to his flight to Brussels and diverse opinions as to the effect it will have upon his cause. A rumor is current that the govern against him.
 The most credible as to his flight is that Senator Naquet and Deputies Laisant and Laguerre wrote to General Boulanger about the middle of March advising him to flee. The general strongly objected to adopting this course as he knew he would be accused of cowardice if he left the country. Finally M. Toquet and the two deputies threatened to secede from the party unless he took their advice and it was this threat that caused his departure.
 The ministry have asked the chamber of deputies to sanction the prosecution of Gen. BoulaDger.
 PARIS, April 4.-The opportunist and rsd- ical journals declare that Boulangism ended with the flight of Gen. Boulanger, but that the prosecution of the general must con- tinue.
 The Journal Des Debats says: Since mad ness and folly, which would have ruined anybody else, made Gen. Boulanger's for tune, it Is impossible to predict that this re- cent weak proceeding will ruin or diminish his prestige.

REV. CHARLES s. HURD's DEATH.
Probably An overdose of Morphine the Cause-N0shing In the London Despatch Indicates Suicide.

the Cause-Noshing In the LOndon
 Despatch Indicates Suicide.
 BosroS, April 4.-Regarding Charles S. Hurd, whose death by suicide is reported from London, it is learned that he left New York March 15 for London on business for the Northern Pacific railroad, by whom he had been employed for the past few months in writing book descriptive of Washington Territory. His brother, MT. 8. 0. Hurd, re- sides in Maiden, Mass, and he believes that she theory of suicide is groundless.
 Rev. Mr. Hurd was young man, in ex- excellent prospects. He has been troubled with nervous pains and has been in the hab- 1t of taking morphine to relieve them, and 1t is believed by his brother that his death was due to taking an overdose. Word was re- ceived of the death on Monday and instruc- tions were at once cabled, but nothing in the London despatch indicated suicide.
 MT. Hurd is said to have been at one time engaged to young lady residing in Maple- wood, but the engagement was broken, and this may have had something to do with his death.

THE CHAIRMANSHIPS.
Mr.. Lodge May Have the Committee on
Election Of President.

1t is understood now that Mr.. Lodge of Mas
sachusetts does not want the Craftsmanship OF
the naval affairs committee, and that either Mr..
Boutelle or Mr.. Harmer, probably the latter,
will get that place.
Mr.. Lodge will probably be chairman Of the
committee on election Of President and Vice
President. The fact that he should want thi s
place, which ordinarily is a very unimportant
one, when he could get most anything he wants,
gives rise to the impression that this committee
is to be more important this Congress than
usual. And, in fact. such is the expectation.
As chairman Of that committee, it is under
stood Mr.. Lodge expects to report a bill
the republican party will exert its
best endeavor to pass through both the House
and the Senate. If such a bill should be re-
ported the democrats would resist it to the
last extremity, and the leader OF this contest on
the republican side wanted to gain a wide
reputation. The committee reporting it would
leap from obscurity into one of the most prom
inent positions in the House. 1t is said that
Mr.. Dingley will probably be a member OF the
ways and means committee.
