LOVED BOULANGER.
Duchess D'Uzes infatuated With the Willy
General.

PARIS, Sept. 15.-The Figaro continues
to publish Boulanger revelations. The
latest are to the effect that Boulanger was
bound in honor to overthrow the republic
but that the parties disagreed as to who
should be placed in power. Dillon told
the trustees of the D Uzes fund that he
would be first to show up Boulanger if he
broke his word The Comte de Paris
organ, Correspondence Rationale, admits
that the Royalists subsidized the Boulan-
gists. Boulanger's organ, lie Voix du
Peupie, referring to the Duchess D Uzes,
that she had letter compromising Boul-
anger and Royalism hints that Boulanger
had letters proving that the duchess threw
away her money because she loved him.
In an interview. published in the Steele,
Boulanger denies that he bargained to up
set the republic; declares that he never
handled the money, which was Dillon's af-
fair, and says that he has been deceived
and made use of by every body. 1t is stated
that the Duchess D Uzes is writing a novel
based upon these intrigues. Cardinal
Rampolla. the papal secretary of state. has
instructed the papaI nuncion here to assure
the French Government that there never
were any negotiations between the vatican
and Boulanger Or his agents. The
Duchess D 'Uzes has written to Rochefort
that she paid nothing to the intriguer.

The House and Senate Cannot gree on tn e
Tariff Bill Amendments.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The ways and

formal cons deration of the senate
amendments to the tariff bill, and made
excellent progress. By noon, when an adj
.journment was had, all the dutiable
schedules had been acted upon. leaving
the free list yet to be considered. In
the case of each amendment
a non-concurrence was recommended
where the reduction in the existing duties
was proposed in an amendment. The
democratic members moved concurrence,
but otherwise they contented themselves
With simple negative by viva voce vote
on each proposition. The Louisiana dele
CATION, Coleman, Blanchard and Wilkinson
were admitted to the room when the sugar
schedule was under consideration and they
united in a strong objection to the date
March 1st next when it is proposed that
the changes made in that schedule shall
take effect. They proposed an extension
to July first next, or failing in that to ask
new rates to take effect Immediately upon
approval of the BILL The committee takes
an appeal under the advisement and mean
while agreed to recommend non-concur-
renee in the senate amendment to the

ACTS OF DIABOLICAL DEMONS.
Outrages are Committed at ClintonvilIe
Which Demand summary Justice.

CLINEoNvILLE, Wis, Sept 15.-In-
tense excitement exists here because of the
repeated attempts to destroy tie life and
property of Louis Devaud. Devaud is a
farmer who lives near town, and who was
in comfortable circumstances until he be-
came aware that he was being pursued by
some relentless unknown enemy who
makes his life and that of his family in
tolerable. Devaud scarcely dares to touch
a morsal of food, and fears to walk out
side of his home without protection, while
his wife and children are in a state of
mortal terror that threatens to drive them
to insanity.
Some few weeks ago the mysterious
enemy of the Devaud family entered the
cellar Of the residence during the night
and sprinkled liberal portions of Paris
green in the -four, vegetables, butter and
other food. ProvidentialIy the poison
was detected by the color of the OUTER be-
fore any of the victuals had been partaken
of. Only few nights afterward his Darn
and grain-stacks were fred and the crops
totally destroyed Watches were
set upon the farm, but without
effect. Immediately following the barn
fire the family received further evidence
that they had been doomed by the un-
known enemy. Entrance had been effect
ed during the absence of the occupants of
the house, and four beds had been satura-
ted with kerosene. Members of the family
arrived just in time to save their home
from destruction. Live Goals had been
placed under the bed, and in a few min
utes the building would have been in
flames
The town is all torn UP over the affair.
After the first attempt at wholesale muir,
der was discovered the authorities arrest
ed two men whom they suspected, but
they proved to be the wrong men, and
since that time not the slightest clue has
been obtained that light cause the arrest
of the fends. Summary justice will GER
tainly be dealt out to the off onders if they
are caught.
Devaud is one of the wealthiest farmers
in this section Of the country.

TRIPLE ALLIANCE EXTENDED

Peninsula Have Been Made
Secure.
Russians However Feel That the EN-.
peror Will Harmonic His
Policy With Theirs.
The SocialiStic Propaganda to PeDe-
trate Into the Rural Districts
Other Foreign News.

BERLIN, Sept. 13-Copyri GIFTED by the
New York Associated Pless. 1S90.-The
extension of the triple alliance to May
1897 has been accepted by Emperor Viii
liam at the request of the Austrian govern
ment The revised Treaty increases the
guarantees of both Germany and Italy to
support Austria in the event of Russian
invasion of the Balkans. The notifications
of the treaty virtually confirm Austria
right to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The >emi-official communications In the
st. Petersburgh papers declare that bus
sian political circles are confident that
Emperor William in conference with
Francis Joseph will endeavor to prevail
upon him to harmonic his policy IN the
Balkan peninsula with that of Russia.
Senior Crispi before agreeing to pro-
longation of the treaty tried to obtain a
pledge from Kalnoky that he
would cede to Italy a part of Trentino.
Emperor William refusal, however. to
permit the triple compact to be in any
way dependent of Italian irreuescent
claims made Kalkoky more resolute in his
refusal.
Empress Augusta Victoria is enciente
The event is to take place early IN Febru-
airy.
The emperor has been a witness of the
nanouvereS of troops at different points
and there will be grand review Wednes
day In the presence of Emperor Francis
Joseph and the king of Saxony. The
movements of the troops will extend over
the country, every part of which is an his
toric battlefield. Emperor William in his
after dinner toasts makes constant refer
ence to the past deeds Of the Prussians.
The immense effort to extend the social
list propaganda to the smaller towns and
! among the rural population will begin on
the first of next month. Over one hundred
small papers devoted to the cause
will appear on that date. 1t
is intended to penetrate into dis,
tricts hitherto closed against socialism.
The lecturer will be sent everywhere and
the elections for members of the provln
cial diets added to the local communes
will be contested wherever possible. A
pretentious anonymous pamphlet, which
is supposed to have been issued with the
imperial sanction, appeals to the work
men to guard against the socialistic
Utopias and affirms the government IN
tentiOn to reform taxation in the direction
of a relief for the working classes and to
ameliorate the condition of the laborers as
regards their dwellings, and re-organize
every industry In the interests Of the
workingmen.

Of Mr.. Cooper's resolution stopped the
negotiations. The witness has with
drawn from the field and stopped
selling state rights until he

Mr.. Tanner was not expected to pay for

ton of such companies. Mr..

the committee refused to adopt the reso-
luton. Adjourned.

Of seed, planting. cultivating and Dig

the ear of Chicago man that the crop
of 1890 would be a partial failure. He
told several of his friends of his infor-
nation, and they formed a syndicate to
buy potatoes. Agents were sent out
and contracts were made with farmers
throughout this section and in the coun-
ties to the north as far as Waupaea, for
all the potatoes they could raise. The
price fixed upon was Is cents per bushel.
The potato crop failed, and the syndicate
is selling It's potatoes at a profit of so and
IS cents per bushel. From the little town
of Fall River three miles west of here,
the spectators take eighty carloads of po-
tatoes-about $4,000 bushels Shipments

MINERS Action in the Barrundia Affair
to be Examined.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 13-From
sources very close to the state department,
and which are not by any means controlled
by political predictions, it is learned
that the department is anything but salts
fed with the information so far received
from Miuister Miner, of Guatemala, and
that his recall at an early date is next door
to an absolute certainty. At any rate an
investigation. under the auspices of the
state department must inevitably be had.
and this will be tantamount to the placing
of Miner upon his defense.

GETS A JUDGMENT.
Mrs. Hattie Knapp is Rewarded After Ten
Years Hard Fighting

WARSAW, N. Y, Sept. 12,-The jury in
the case of Mrs. Hattie Knapp against the
Northwestern Life Insurance company, of
Milwaukee, Wis, has rendered a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for 50 S45, amount
of policy held by Der late husband,
with interest from July, 1887, at Z
per cent. In April 1887, the husband
of the plaintiff was found dead III an out
building near his residence in Vanwert,
O., with bullet hole in his head. His
life was insured in the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance company for $4,000,
but the company contested the pay
ment on the ground that Mr.. Knapp
committed suicide. Mrs. Knapp removed
to this village and brought action
for the insurance. The company sought
to remove the action for trial in the CT
cult court of the United States for the
northern district of New York, but an APP
peal was taken to the court of appeals,
which court decided that the state court
had undisputed jurisdiction. The case
has been before the courts for the last ten
years.
