any part of the world. 1t is pictur-
esque region among mountains and

eXhilarating atmosphere. Nature has
done all in its power to make it a de-
lightful resort for the sick and weary,
but it is Whited sepulchre, charnel
house. Its death rate is given as 40 per

by any city in Christendom. NETWORKS

COMING TO THE FRONT.
Gen. Boulanger Predicts His EaIly
Return to Power.

PARIS, JAN 1.-THE BoulangiSt Or
gans ridicuie the candidacy of NJ.
Jacques, president of the council of the
Seine, who was nominated yesterday by
the Republican caucus TO oppose Gen.
Beulanger in the election on the 27th
inst, for the seat in the chamber of
deputies for the department of the
Seine, made vacant by the death of NJ.
Hude. They say that nj. Jacques is too
obscure man to rally the vote OF the
electors of Paris. In an interview to
day Gen. BOulanger said that Gen. Mon
tandon, who was elected to the cham Der
of deputies yesterday, from the depart
ment of the Seine, though described as
royalist. is really supporter of the
Boulangist party. The general said
that the Boulangist victories in the
supplementary elections preSaged Ills
return to power.
PARIS, Jan. IA meeting of social
lists was held tonight to choose can
didate for the vacant seat IN the de-
partment of the Seine. One hundred
and ten delegates, representing
all the socialist committees in
the department, were present. The
meeting voted unanimously in favor of
Gen. Boulanger. This action, it is
believed, insures the return of
Gen. Boulanger to the chamber
of deputies by great majority.
NJ. jacques has issued an address to the
Seine electors. In it he says: "Cleri-
calism is leading to the fight all
malcontents and enemies of the
republic, for whom Gen. Boulanger is
the standard bearer" He appeals to
the electors to save the country from
dishonor, and a return to personal
power. In an interview to-day, Gen.
Boulanger said that his election eX-
perience enabled him to feel the
pulse Of a constituency as
well as any one, and that
never even during his triumphS in the
department of the North did he con-
slider his success so certain as now. The
exaggerated Importance attached to
this contest by his opponents would
only influence the provinces still
more in his favor in the event of his
election. Therefore, he would work his
hardest to secure brilliant succesS-a
success that would lead to triumph at
the ganara1 election

reyolted. All the forenoon his

revolted. All the forenoon his
friends attempted to capture the
insurgents, but to no avail. Alli-
ance men claim Aikens in his
overweaning confidence became too
frigid, and did not ever have tine to
listen to propositions they wished to
make. Hence the early morning reyo-
luton.
When the Republican members went
into caucus this afternoon all knew that
the late favorite was in minority, but
his friends still hoped to win from the
farmers by superior skill in applying
parliamentary tactics, but this hope
faded away when it appeared that Hun
ter, of Sphinx, led the opposing forces,
and that Keith, of Sioux Falls, was the
ma they had to defeat. An hour OF
spirited sparring and informal ballots
developed the fact that twenty votes
showed Aikens'greatest strength. Then
he withdrew his own name and other
favorites were brought out, but none
possessed sufficient magnetism to
break the Keith combine. Finally
Burnham, of Cass, was sprung on the
caucus as bait to catch the alliance
vote, but the scheme would not work.
Formal ballots resulted in % for Keith,
II for Burnham and two scattering.
The caucus adjourned till tomorrow
forenoon, when the remaining nomina-
tions will be made. Mai, Hamilton, of
Grand Forks. is the leading candidate
for chief clerk. but his election is not
certain. The house states are numer-
Gus, but nothing can be relied upon.
The general impression is that Keith's
success is due to Hunters work, and
that his reward will be the chairman
ship of the railroad committee, the most
important position in the legislature.
Emboldened by the success of the al
lance, members of the house,
fourteen farmers, including two
Democratic members of council
met on the quiet and agreed to support
Smith Stimmel, of Cass, president of
that body, and Wallace, of Stutzman, for
secretary; Goodfellow, of BroOkings, for
assistant; Ellis, of Dickey. for sergeant
at arms; Forrest, of Barnes, for assist
ant; Iverson. of Yankton. for enrolling
clerk; Girton, of Miner. for engrOssing
clerk: HanscOmb, of Grand Forks, for
messenger; Hines, of Miner, for door
keeper; Strong, of Walsh, for watch
man. and Cressy. of Huron, for clerk
Judiciary court.
Following this agricultural gathering
came the regularly called caucus OF the
Republican council: twelve members
being present, nine refusing to attend.
These twelve simply ratified what they
had already agreed upon in former
meetings. Opposition to Stimmel de-
veloped early in the day, and the dis
sidents consolidated on Washabaugh,
but not even his long legislative expert
ence and prestige served to draw
strength from the alliance candidate,
and now it is thought that his cOmbina-
ton will surely stick.

A WARNING.

The English people are warned by
GoLwIN SMITH not to cOuntenance
woman suffrage, and he cites among its
bad effects the experience of Nebraska
and some of the territories. 1t is not
remembered that Nebraska affords
much illustration of the operation of
that kind of voting, unless in the linn
tied range of school matters. The only
territories where women have ever
voted are believed to be Wyoming,
Washington and Utah. The latter is
perhaps not fair illustration of any
sort of voting. as the church regulates
the ballot. The right of women to vote
has not been repealed in any territory,
but has been ruled out by the courts on
account of some flaw in the law, The
experiments so far had have been on
too limited scale or under circunl-
stances that afford small argument
either for or against woman suffrage.
Boston can give better pointers than
any region in the West.

JAN UMB JUDICIALLY YJUGGED.
A Russian Sailor Murders Seven
Persons, and Is Sentenced to
Ten Years. Penal Seryitude,

Persons, and Is Sentenced to
Ten Years Penal Servitude.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 7.-The Sun gives
in substance, as follows, translated from
a Russian paper, an account of the
crime for which a st. Petersburg,
Russia, court sentenced Jan Umb, a
Russian sailor, to ten years penal ser
vitude:
The Russian schooner Johannes had
hardly left Riga late in November, 1887, when
Jan Umb denied an accusation of having
stolen clothing. Induced alternately by
floggings and Capt. Harboe's promises, a
confession was extorted, which was followed
by further whipping and confinement in a
water. When released he was abused by the
crew, and to put an end to his misery jumped
overheard. The captain promised better
treatment if he would allow himself to be
rescued, and a boat being lowered he was
brought back. While changing his wet
clothes he received brutal kicking
about the head and naked body, and was
he was ordered to take the wheel and, I'M
able through weakness to perform that duty,
the captain struck him in the face and Or
dered him to follow, seemingly for further
punishment. AS the captain was picking up
piece of rope, Umb-now perfect maniac
seized hand-spike, struck ana killed the
captain. He then killed, in like manner,
the two sailors on deck. Procuring sheath
knife he stabbed the mate, and proceeding
sleep The cabin boy was killed next. A
Danish steamer sighted the schooner, which
il towed to Copenhagen, where Jan Umb was
delivered TO the Russian authorities.
