More Revelations Made.
PARIS, Sept. l3.-The Figaro continues
to publish Boulangcr revelations. The
latest are to the effect that Boulange
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 Dues 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
Boulangists. Boulangers organ, lie
Noix du Peuple, referring to the associ-
alton of the Duchess d Uzes, that she
had letter compromising Boulanger
and Royalism, hints that Boulanger
has letters proNiig that the
Duchess threw away her money be-
cause she loved him. In an inter
view, published in the Steele, Boulanger
denies that he bargained to upset the
republic; declares that he never ham
died the money, which was Dillon's af-
fair, and SAYS that he has been deceived
and made use of by everybody. 1t
is stated that the Duchess Dues
is writing Il novel based upon these in
trigues. Cardinal Rampolla, the papal
secretary of state, has instructed the
papal nuncio here To assure the French
government that there never were any
negotiations between the Vatican and
BUUIanger or his agents. The Dutchcss
d yes has written To RoChefOrt that

RESULT WYOMING.
Republican Victory in the New state AZ

CHEYENNE, Wvo., Sept. l2.-Complcte
returns have not yet been received from
any of the counties, and the full result
of yesterdav'S first state election III
Wyoming will not be known for some
davs. but the returns that have come IN
are considered sufficient TO show that
the Republicans have a majority, va
riously estimated at from ] 800 to 1900.
The Mormon vote of Uintah County has
gone solidly for the Republicans, giving
the state ticket over 600 majority. The
Republicans now claim the state by
1000 majority. The Democrats CON
ceded ii by 200. The Republicans car
rv the Legislature, and will have
working majority in both branches;
Iatcr-Sutiicicnt returns have been
received to show beyond question that
the Republican state ticket is elected,
and that Republicans have control of
the Legislature, which means the cleo
ton of two Republican United States
senators. Laramie County, in which
Cheyenne is located, will give Warren
at least 800 majority, an increase OF
about 80 over the majorlty given the
Republican delegate in Congress two
wears ago. Albany County goes Repub-
lican by about 400, a slight Republican
loss. Carbon County is probably Demo
cratic, gain of about 500 Democratic
votes. Sweetwater is probably slight
ly Democratic; Cintah, on the Utah
border, which contains a very heavy
percentage of Mormons, has gone Re-
publican 10y maiorities estimated from
$50 to 500; Converse, Fremont, Johnson
and Crook are Democratic; Weston,
Natrona and Sheridan Republican. The
Republican majority of two years ago is
reduced from :, ,S94 to 900 or 200.

gate Carey. of Wyoming, has received
the following from Cheyenne:
The first Wyoming state election re-
suited in the Republicans electing a full
state ticket and congressman by nearly
1900 majority, and large majority of
