The death of Boulanger, following so
closely upon that Of Balmaceda. both the
result of self-inhicted blows, will attract uni
versal attention. Both acts can be directly
traced to despair, but. in one respect at least,
they differed in motive. Balmaceda shot
himself not so much because he had failed in
his political purposes as because he recog-
nized that he would be torn to pieces by the
mob into whose hands he must certainly fall.
Boulanger's political career was ended. This.
together. possibly. with private griefs, seem to
have preyed on his mind and led him to raise
his hand against himself. The man whose brief
political life was so full Of dramatic and sensa-
tional humbugery, killed himself in manner
and under circumstances that We're character
stic one Of his last thoughts probably was
that his suicide at the .omb Of the woman
whom he had loved would more likely startle
the world than II he had shot himself in some
obscure corner On the other hand, it is not
improbable that political disappointment was
the real cause of his deed. but he wished the
world to think that sorrow for the woman he
had lost was the reason for the fatal act. What
ever tie motive, it is a miserable ending for o
man who promised at one time to play such
great part in the history of Europe.
THE Gillian Congressionalists are said to be
bitterly hostile to the United States. Their
hostility. too. is not based upon the Itsta az
fair alone, but is directly attributable to the
conduct Of Minister Egan. Senior Julio Foster.
one of the Congressional agents in Washing
ton goes even SO far as to charge Egan with
responsibility for the late war. He says that
Egan harbored spies and urged Balmsceda on.
telling him that he would have the support
and sympathy of the United States. In fact.
according to Senior Don Julio. he has always
been fomenter Of strife. aud has never per-
mitted Oh opportunity to slip TO stir up trou-
bic. Why does Mr. Harrison permit Mr..
Egan to remain in Officer No wonder, If the
charges against him are true, that Am eri-
cans are unpopular in Chill.

Terrific Storm.

London, March 9.-The worst
snow-storm of the season has swept
over the United Kingdom to-day.
The wind is blowing with fearful
velocity, driving the snow around in
drifts two or three feet deep. The
streets are deserted. t 5otn oy pedes-
s rs and vehicles, while railway
communication with the suburbs of
London is almost entirely cut off.
Telegraphic communication with
the provinces is suspended, as the
wires are down in all directions.
From all parts of England come
stories of destruction by the storm,
and shipping has suffered heavily.
The English channel Is simply an
expanse of boiling, seething water,
dashing over the pier at Dover,
and washing everything away.
Across the channel steamers are
arriving in battered condition,
with passengers very wet, and their
faces Of a yellow hue tell the story
OF their experiences. There was
extraordinary spectacle on the
Strand when the theatres were
over tonight.

Norway for Home Rule,

The political situation in Nor
way is extremely grave. OF the ia
members of the St0rthing who took
part in Mondays division, in which
the conservative ministry was de-
feated, the majority practically de-
mand that Norway shall have con-
troll OF her own foreign affairs. The
moderate liberals and radicals are
sinking their differences and pres
ent a united front. If the king fol-
lows the constitutional usage by
choosing a new ministry from the
majority it will tend to the rapid
repeal of the Scandinavian union.
Ii he appoints ministry to combat
the majority it will be certain to
provoke conflict which will
threaten public peace and order.

formulate an address to the people of Ohio.
A committee to arrange plan for future
campaigns was also appointed. This latter
committee submitted its report, and, after
great deal of discussion and few changes,
the plan was adopted. As the session was
a secret one, the plan proposed was not, of
course, known, but enough was cleaned on
the outside to know that the campaigns of
the future are to be governed somewhat
differently from those heretofore waged.
The party has begun to realize that unless
a more uniform and concentrated action can
be had through the country than has pre-

mittee is also in favor of forming through
out the country clubs on the order of those
gotten up bv the Republican League, have
them organize at every cross roads in the

action, and to this end will its efforts be
exerted. Five delegates were selected to at

His Salary Reduced Because He Win Smoke
Wicked Cigars.
HAMILTON, O., Dec. 11.-[Specidl. ]-The
officers 'of the Presbyterian church are
disciplining their preacher in novel man
ner The church is the most aristocratic IN
the city. and the pastor is very popular
with the mass of his parishioners as well as
the general public, but the officers Of the
church are bitterly opposed to him: They
have attempted in various ways to secure
his removal, but we're checkmated at each
move. His orthodoxy was assailed, his
Presbyterianism attacked without effect
The congregation stood by the pastor.
Last night a new tactic was attempted;
The pastor was accused of extravaganza and
sinful waste of money, the foundation tor
this charge being that he smoked cigars. The
officers decided, after solemn conciave,
that their pastor must be disciplined Tor
this awful sin, and that no ordinary punish
ment would fit the case. After due delib-
Grafton, the officers voted to reduce the
salary paid the pastor by $500. The friends
of DR.. Abbey assert-and the public agrees
with them-that the whole thing is ascheme
to humiliate him into resigning his position.
The doctor refuses to discuss the affair In
any way, but his admirers say he will
neither resign nor lose the $500. They will
make it up out of their own pockets.

dowry can be voted to Princess Victoria
Mary. The Price of Wales will visit the
Queen at Windsor Monday, to state the
intentions of the Ministers. Although
March 10 has been announced as the we'd
day, the Prince of Wales tonight authorized
the statement that the ceremony might take
place earlier-probabiy on February 10, the
anniversary of the Queens marriage.
Mr. Gladstone and wife called at Marl-
borough house to-day to extend their con-
grstulations on the betrothal.
The current stories that the betrothal is
due to the Duke of Clarence's persistent
love under great opposition do not agree
with the court reports. On the contrary, it
is known that the Duke of Clarence has
long been enamored of Princess Helene, of
Orleans and that two years ago he per-
sonally declared his passion to the Comte
de Paris and received the assurance that
Princess Helene reciprocated his love, and
that both her father and mother approved
the match.
The Pope vetoes the Match.
Princess Helene then went to the Pope to
put the question of change of religion, as
an absolute necessity, before the Pope, who
told her that it would be impossible that
such change could obtain his remotest
sympathy.
The position remained unsettled until
Prince George became ILL., when the Queen
and the Prince and the Princess of Wales
became alarmed over the chance of the
Duke of Fife nearing the Throne. Pressure
was then put on the Dnke of Clarence and
Avondale on every side, family and cabinet
reasons being adduced against an alliance
with the House of France. This pressure
led to his acceptance of Princess Victoria
Mary, for whom he has shown cousinly
liking.
Buying Off France From Newfoundland.
Lord Salisbury has reopened negotiations
with NJ. Ribot, the French Foreign Minis
ter, for settlement of the Newfoundland
fisheries dispute. 1t is reported that Lord
In return for the surrender of all
the French rights in Newfoundland, is to
cede to France the Hervey Islands and the
colony of La Cos.
Lord Knutsford, Colonial Secretary, in
receiving deputations from Liverpool and
Manchester protesting against the sacrifice
of British interests in West Africa to
France, intimated that the Minister'S opin-
ions did not agree with those of the ydeputa-
tions The pending negotiations explain his
chilly reception of the protests.
