cause has received an immense accession
in the caudidatare OF General Montauban
for q seat in the Chamber OF Deputies HIS
appearance as a candidate in the depart
ment conjoined with General Bonlaii ger
speaks favorabiy for the Bouiatg;st q
momentous election campaign. Tns Gov
eminent feels the danger acutey, anu
yesterday held a council at the Eiyses 10
consider how to face the situation
General Montauban gives his support ID
Boulanger He says: ''Since Gravelotse,
when he held in check the attack Of Count
Won Steinmetx on the French line. ms
name has been cherished by the army.
During the five years of his command OF
the second army corps he added to ms
popu arity."
The whole address is q frank espoussl OF
the Bou'anger programme He denounces
the Chamber of Deputies as being power
less for good, as offending the Nationaf
conscience and as compromising the IN
terests OF the county. He demsn DIS tho
summoning of Constituent Assembly as
alone competent to express the Naiionai
will. He invokes his own past, showing
that hitherto he was a stranger to personal
party quarreis and that he was now aetn-
ated solely my motives of patriotism. He
appears as q Conservative. His return TO
the Chamber is certain.

revision Of the Constitution, but are united

pressing his colleagues to draw away the
Conservative support from Bouianger by
proffering a revision bill, accompanied by
a scrutin ACKNOWLEDGMENT measure or a
one man, one vote system, ana then as

with the present form of republic, General
Boulanger will triumph. ~s
Meetings of Panama shareholders in
provincial centers continue to pass resolu-
lions in support of III. de Lesseps and to
sign engagements binding them to forego
the payment of interest by thes company.
This action, however, does not affect the
general belief that the company has COL
lapsed. At a meeting at Bordeaux on
Sunday L 200 shareholders signed ae
agreement to forego the payment of inter-
est and at Anglers several hundred sigma
lures were obtained to similar agree
ment.
General Boulanger in an interview yes
terday extolled NJ. Reinach for demanding
the annulment of the decree of banishmene
against the Due d'Aumale. He said:
1.-THE first act of my Government. if the
country raises me TO the Presidency, wiz
be to repeal the laws relating to Danish
