iAHIs, OCt. LIMO lnlln, III lACt,
practically tho only news feature OF the
newspapers OF his city to-day is the
suicide OF General Boulanger. One Of
the prominent features OF the Boulanger
story printed in Paris this morning is n
series OF interviews with leading Bou.
langists, fact which goes to show that
American journalistic methods are OBJ
tanning firm foot hold in Europe In
spite OF the sneers formerly heapod
upon them.
N. Lagucrre, the Boulangist deputy,
during one OF these interviews, said
eFor q year or so General Boulnnger
and | have been separated in regard to
our ideas as to what should be the pol
icy OF tho patriotic league. But wish
to keep bright recollection Of tho val
liant soldier who served his country so
brilliantly"
All the Paris newspapers agree in ex-
pressing the opinion that the death OF
General Boulanger will not affect the
political situation.
Ills MIsTREss's INFLUENCE.
Many members OF the so-called Bou-
langist party arc convinced, or say that
they are convinced, that General Bou-
langer's retirement from France was
due to the influence Nine. Bonnemain
had over him, and whom they do not
scruple to call very hard names for
what they term her "cowardicc" and
Glove OF ease" But in spite OF these
facts, it seems to be certain that Nine.
dc Bonnemain had received supposedly
trustworthy information that the life OF
General Boulanger was in actual dan
ger when she persuaded him to fly
from France. 1t is also admitted that,
though placed in an awkward anc. diff
cult position, Nine. de Bonncmain was
both liked and respected by almost all
her intimate friends. Her devotion to
the cause OF General Boulanger was ab-
soluto and unremitting, and he seems
to have recognized that, for when fol-
lowing her coffin to the grave General
Boulanger repeated somberly to three
friends who accompanied him: "She
was all I had left, and now she also is
taken from me- Il. q. -.-
TIE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
NJ. Thiebaud and Deputies Laur, Du-
montel and Castelain arrived at Brus-
sells to-day in body at the same mo-
ment as NJ. Rochciort, in order to at.
tend the funeral OF Gen. Boulanger.
The remains Of the general have been
placed in coffin, the outer casing OF
which, in accordance with the desire oil
the deceased, is in exact replica OF the
one which contains the remains OF
Nine. dc Bonnemain.
The political testament OF the dead
general was read to-day ut private
meeting OF his friends held in the hotel
in the Rue Montoyer. The text OF it is
as follows:
"This is my political testament. 1t is
my desire that it be published after my
death. l shall kill myself Tomorrow.
! am convinced OF the future OF the
party to which I have given my name.
| cannot bear the frightful misfortune
which befel me two and a half months
ago. Ihave tried to get the better OF
it, but l have not succeeded. l am per-
'suadcd that my followers are so devoted
and SO numerous that they will bear
me no anger for disappearing on accou MT
OF sorrow SO great that all work has
become impossible to me. Let them
remember the maxim uno drul8o non de-
fcit alter and may they continue then to
act against those who in scorn OF all
laws, force me to die far from my coun-
