BOULANGISM'S BIG CRISIS
FRANCE TRYING TO GET BELGIUM
TO EXPEL HIM.

A Manifesto to be Issued by the Gen
the Chamber of Deputies 49, French
Opportunist and Radical Papers
Asserting That Boulangism Has
Been Dealt It's Death Blow.
BRUSSELS, April 5.--Gen. Boulanger held
a conference to-day in this city with num-
her of his supporters in the French Cham
Der of Deputies.
The French government is urging Bel
GUM to expel Gen. Bouanger.
LOOKED UPON AS DEATH BLOW.
PARIS, April 5.-The opportunist and
radical press regard the vote in the Cham
Der of Deputies Yesterday, authorizing the
prosecution of Gen. Boulanger by tie gov
ernment as death-blow to Boulangism.
Count Dillon and NJ. Rochefort viii be
prosecuted by the government for their
connection with the Boulangist movement.
NJ Boucher, the dismissed public prose-
cutor, informed Gen. Boulanger fortnight
before his flight that the government .in-
tended to arrest him.
THE TRIAL TO BEGIN MONDAY.
The Senate will begin the trial of Gen.
Boulanger ON Monday next During the
trial no session of the Chamber of Deputies
will be held. The Boulangist electoral cam
paign has been suspended for the present.
ANOTHER MANIFESTO.
Gen. Boulanger has issued a manifesto
dated Brussels, April 5. He says that in
their robust sense the electors know how to
deal with tho tissue Of falsehoods and
abominable ISLANDERS against him. The gov
eminent has extorted from an infatuated
parliament consent to prosecute him before
court of political enemies, not be-
fore court of judges. All acUs imputed
to him as crimes were well-known when
he was appointed minister Of war, and there
fore his colleagues were equally guilty. IAN
the violence and calumny in the world"
he says, twill fail to turn us from our OBJ
jecr, which is to obtai l an honest republic
and legal exercise of universal suffrage"
A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest
of Gen. Boulanger the moment he touches
French soil. The open animus Of the gov
eminent is producing a revulsion Of public
feeling in the generals favor. M. Susini
has resigned from the Boulangist commit
tee NJ. Thiebaud has Withdrawn his resig
nation.

The Corpse of One of Them Found
Another's Fate Unknown.
CEDAR KEY, FLA. April 5-Ever since
this county was voted dry" it has been
cursed with "blind tigers" some in the
town and some afoat on boats of various
kinds The occupants Of one of the float
ing barrooms suddenly disappeared about
two weeks since, just after the drawing of
the grand and petit juries. The boat was
found at sea half full of water, both
anchors on deck, and the sail about half
raised. No uneasiness was felt about the
two men who had been using the boat, as it
was the generally accepted opinion that
they had adopted a ruse to avoid going
to court. Consequently no search
was made for them. Wednesday morning,
however, a fisherman returned from down
the coast, reports having found the body of
one of the men ashore on Umbrella key,
near Crystal river. The party who found
tho body notified others in the vicinity, and
after an examination, the removal of pa
pers, letters and other contents of the pock-
cts, the remains were buried and the author
tiles notified. Nothing has 30 far been
heard Of the other man.
Improving, building up and cleaning up
is now the order OF the day. The new
mayor, w. w. Cottren, has assumed the
reins Of government. and order and clean
liuess are now the rule here.

WASHINGTON, April 5-These are tick
lish DAYS for speakership candidates. Con-
gress is likely to meet in extra session in
October. The President has practically
said that he would call it together then, and
in the brief intervening time they
must make friends, not enemies Yet
they seem obliged to remain in Wash
ington and being here are constantly
importuned not only by men from their
own states, but by men from all the states,
to help them get offices. OF course there
are other candidates for all these offices
who are backed by their congressmen-elect.
If the speakership candidate refuses to sup
port the man who comes to him be makes
an enemy of him and his congressman. If
he does support him he makes an enemy of
the other fellow and his congressman.
BETWEEN THE LION AND THE BEAR.
He is between the lion and the bear. Reed
has already jeopardized his chances by his
recommendations to office. If Blaine was not
actively opposing him before, he is now,
since Reed has been trying to get appoint
ments which Blaine wants for his own
friends.
Mckinley, whose rooms are thronged day
and night by office seekers from Georgia
and California, as well as from Ohio, tries
to be more tactful and in that effort avoids
making recommendations, except where he
cannot help it. But this course has alienated
men who have asked his aid in vain aud
who think they had right to command it.
Casson, the most Outspoken of the candi-
dates, has made enemies right and left, not
more by what he has said than by what he
has not said.
Burrows and Henderson, who count

being so prominent as the other three, are
not asked so often for "a little assistance. "
Still, they have their trials and tribulations
with the off1ce-seeker too.

HARRISON TO TAKE A REST.
He VIII Probably Go to Fortress
Monroe for Few Days.

0AOlTOS 1OI u row DdySs
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The President
has practically determined to take few
DAYS rest and recreation outside Of Wash
ington as soon as he can do so without
sacrificing public interests. He has been
under severe strain, mentally and physi-
cally, for the last eight months, aud it is
beginning to tell on his health. His friends
and physicians have advised him to take
short respite from official duties, and he has
promised TO do so at the first favorable OPP
portunity. He made some inquiries about
a trip to Fortress Monroe. and a rumor was
soon started that he was going to take a
cruise in Chesapeake bay on revenue
cutter. His departure was fixed by rumor
for tomorrow and Fortress Monroe as his
destination
CAN'T START JUST NOW
Inquiry at the white house this afternoon
showed that there was no truth in the re-
port as far as this week is concerned. There
are several obstacles in the way Of the trip
being made 50 soon, the chief and all
sufficient one being the lack of an available
vessel. There are two revenue cutters at
Baltimore, one eing out ofscommission,
the other undergoing repairs. One OF tdem
could soon be put in condition for the Pres
ident's use, and orders to that effect may
be issued in few days, provided the
Pre- ,ideut decides on trip by water.
There are also two light house
tenders at Norfolk, either of which
could be utilized if desired. aThere is usu-
ally a naval vessel in this vicinity in sum-
mer time for just such trips as have been
recommended to the President, but it so
happens that there is none here at the pres
emit time. 1t is, however, very probable
that the President will leave the city for a
few days by the end of next week, but it is
not likely that any definite arrangements as
to his destination or means Of transporta-
ton will be made for several days yet.

Riotous Scenes at the Democratic Pri-
meries at Cohoes.

m6rleS al COEOeS.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 5.-Cohoes has
been in the hands of a democratic mob all
day, and tonight the condition of affairs is
unchanged, with drunken brawlers and
excited adherents of the two democratic
factions still excitedly discussing the situa
ton. The democratic primaries TO
nominate supervisors, aldermen, and
"a city ticket were held to-day.
On one side was the Cleveland following,
directed by ID. Cady Herrck from Albany,
with Postmaster Larkin and ex-Couuty
Clerk Larkn in immediate command. Ga
the other side was the Hill following, di-
rected by Edward Murphy, Jr., from Troy,
with Mayor Garside in immediate COM
mand.
SCENE OF THE RIOTS.
The rioting was conf ned to three wards.
In tho other two the Larkin regulars had
things their own way and nominated their
men by ma jortieS of four and seven. In the
other three wards violence was the rule.
The Larkin men had the inspectors. Gar
side had the police Some time ago one of
the police commissioners was induced to
turn the force over to the control of the
mayor, who turned out the old force and
formed an entirely new one. The police
were present at the polls in force. Civilians
sworn in as specials were left in control OF
the station house.
A POLICEMAN KNOCKED OUT.
In one of the wards, after the regulars
had admitted a watcher Of the other side
to the polling place, one of the police en-
deavored TO force his way in. He was
warned to desist, but persisted, and with a
sledge hammer battered down the door. He
was struck on the head with lead pipe
hole was cut through his cheek, and stag
gering back, covered with blood, he fell
outside the poll Then the riot began.
Pistols knives and clubs were used. The
ballot box was smashed, and both sides
claimed the victory. No one was fatally
injured except, possibly, the policeman.
ANOTHER POLICEMAN CHoKED.
While this was transporting, in another
ward a policeman endeavored to make his
way into the polling pl ce through a saloon
next door. He was choked by the proprie-
tor until black In the face, thrown over he
bar and kicked into the street In another
ward policeman battered a man over the
head, intlicting injuries which are reported
fatal. Small fights were of constant occur
renee A dozen men were reported sert-
ously, il not fatally disabled.
