Boulangism Fails in the Chamber
of Deputies.

PARIS, April 4.-The chamber to-day
voted urgency for the discussion of the
accusations against Gen. Boulanger,
and the debate proceeded. NJ. Paul de
Cassagnac pronounced the charges
against Gen. Boulanger tissue of alb
surdity and falsehood. He declared
that the real arbiter between Bou-
langer and the government was
universal suffrage. Premier TiTard
called upon the chamber to authorize
the prosecution of Boulanger. He
said: I'VE desire to prosecute a man
who is seeking to overthrow the Re-
public. 1t is our duty to defend the in
StitutionS of our country against the in
trigues of factions and to take every
means to safeguard France from the
horrors of civil war. | am convinced
that the people will justify the action
of the government" After speeches by
other members. vote was taken on
the question of sanctioning the prosecu-
ton of Gen. Boulanger The result was
adverse to Boulanger, the chamber de-
Gliding, by 9 "0te of 355 to 2O3, in favor
OF prosecution. Most Of the newspapers
hers handle Gen. Boulanger severely
Tor his fight to Brussels. Many declare
that BOulangism is now dead. The
Journal des Debats says that it is inn
possible to predict whether Boulanger's
position will be stronger or weaker on
account of his flight, because he has
been guilty of SO much folly that has
apparently strengthened him.

An Organized Band Of Incen-
diaries Unearthed in
Brooklyn,
They Had Been Burning
Buildings for the Insur-
anee Money.
Edward Dietz Murders His
Child and Then Commits
Suicide.
A Kentucky Fence Dispute
Settled With a Shotgun
Crimelets.

NEW YORK, April A band OF
shrewd fire bugs has been unearthed by
the Brooklyn and Jersey City police.
They are identified with band of Chi
cago anarchists. The members located
in Brooklyn last December. Several of
them engaged small stores in different
localities, secured all the insurance
they could and then set them on fire.
The plan to avert suspicion was to
break kerosene Oil lamp to convey the
impression that it was lamp explosion
from which the fires originated. The fire
zine. encircled with gunpowder, to
which slow fuse was connected. The
minute it touched the gunpOwder the
whole place would be ablaZe, and all
trace as to how the fire originated OBJ
liberated. The owners of the stores and
their families would be conveniently
absent, on the occasion of the fire, at
some other members house. This was
for the purpose of proving an alibi.
Sluce the advent of the gang dozen
fires have occurred. The chief, Bernard
Blume, was recently captured at his
home on Porter street, Jersey
City. In his apartments, be-
tween two mattresses, twenty-five
bladders used by the firebugs were
found. Blume was brought to Brooklyn.
Frederick Feight. Frederick Freund and
Frank Dussing are now in custody. The
