BRUSSELS, Oct. 1.-The political tes-
lament of Gen. Boulanger was read to-
day at a 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 de-
sire that it be published after my death.
shall kill myself tomorrow. l am convinced
of the future of the party to which l have
given my name. cannot bear the frightful
misfortune which befell me two and half
months ago. / have tried to get the better of
1t, but have not succeeded. am persuaded
that my followers are so devoted and so
numerous that they will bear me no anger
for disappearing on account of sorrow SO
great that all work has become impossible to
me. Let them remember the maxim, "Uno
avulso non deficit alter" and may they con-
tinue then to act against those who, in scorn
of all laws, force me to die far from my
country.
Tomorrow 1 shall be dead man; to-day I
have nothing to reproach myself with. All
my life have done my duty and nothing but
my duty. My death is no shame TO myself,
but it is shame for my prosecutors, those who
sought to brand loyal soldier by the judg-
ment of political tribunal. | desire to re-
call the fact that have many times offered
to constitute myself prisoner if they would
accord me common law judges This the
holders of power have always refused. Thus,
acquittal was not possible. In quitting life
have but one regret-that have not died on
the field of battle, fighting for my country.
That country, at least will permit one OF its
children, at the moment of returning into
nothingness to recall himself to the memory
of ali lovers of La Patrie.
Vive La France. Vive La Republic.
Done and signed under my hand on the
eve of the day of my death.

RUSSIA CHECKsfATED.
Roumanian Troops Moved to the
Pruth.

LONDON. Oct. IA Vienna dispatch,
speaking of the Russian maneuvers at
the Pruth, calls attention to the fact that
the Crimean war began with the crossing
of the Pruth by the Russians, and says
that everything points to a similar be-
ginning for the next great European
conflict. Five squadrons of Roumanian
cavalry have reached the Roumanian
bound airy, opposite to where the Rus
SLAMS are maneuvering, and there have
been no midnight demonstrations by the
Russians since the cavalry arrived.
The latter came by forced marches from
Bucharest, and will remain on the
frontier with division of infantry, now
on the way, as corps of observation.
1t was said that the arrival of the Rou-
manian troops seemed to take the Rus
slams by surprise, as if their plans had
been discovered and checkmated.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 1.-The Novoe
Vremya (semi-official newspaper de-
clares that unless Great Britain wants
war she should avoid interference with
the Russian movements on Pamir,
where she will only meet with check
if her claims are not supported by
arms.

AN OFFICIAL VIEW.
In Death Boulanger Will Not Be
Allowed Honor.

PARIS, Oct. lin an interview with
the Paris representative of the United
Press to-day, chief of bureau in the
war Office expressed very clearly the
views of the official military class on
the subjects of Gen. Boulanger's sui
eide, and the proposition of the patri-
otto league to accord the dead general
a public funeral in the streets of Paris.
There is" he said, mo Frenchman, of
whatever party or faction, who does
not honor the memory of Boulanger for
his military services to France, and for
the wounds which he received in her
defense. tits, however, no new thing for
Frenchmen to fight bravely, and on very
general principles for the country, or to
receive with more or less composure and
philosophy grievous bodily hurts in the
same cause. There, however, with
wellwishers of the country, admiration
for the personality of the man must
stop.
II am myself, by instinct, training
and service, soldier: but have never
failed to deplore the Yretched role en-
he, while head of this Office, attempted
to corrupt the constituencies, terrorize
the chamber and prostitute the army,
and all that he might advance his vul-
gar fortunes at the expense of the life,
safety and perpetuation OF the constitu-
tional republic. He was charged with,
tried and found guilty of conspiracy
and attempted treason. He fled from
France before that trial began,
and the man who yesterday met
the downfall of his personal
ambition and the loss of his
mistress and friends with suicide, was
then not brave enough to confront
court of France with a defence of his
honor, either as man or patriot
With regard to possible attempt by
the patriotic league to have a public
funeral in Paris, the official said:
There will be no great demonstrative
funeral pageant for Gen. Boulanger
either here or elsewhere in France. OF
that you may be certain. Nor do be-
lieve the league, OF its inoharchial and
imperidiist allies-if the latter longer
eXfst-will attempt anything of the
kind. The time for that sort of thing
has passed. The republic will deal with
the matter sensibly. patiently and firmly.
1t will seek to avoid offending the sus-
capabilities of Frenchmen, however
misguided they may be; but it will 10
more submit to insults from the late fol-
lowers of the dead adventurer than it
would receive an affront from the most
potent OF living mOnarehs."

THE STARVING PEOPLA
Further Reports of the Awful
Misery in Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. IA govern
ment circular has again been issued for
bidding press illusions to the famine in
consequence of articles proposing an in
come tax to relieve overburdened peas
ants. Private letters give heartrending
accounts of the distress among the peo-
pie, especially in Kacan, Samara and
Mini Novgorod. Deaths are 50 numer-
GUS that many people are buried without
religious rites. The tribunals dismiss
charges of robbery of bakeries.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Standard confirms
the reports of the dire distress at pres
ent existing in Russia. He says that
25,000,000 persons are unable to pay
their taxes, and that this will cause a
budget deficit of e12,OOO,000. NJ. Wish

respondent adds, has just granted an

at the time of the suspension the
HoutZdale bank had deposits of $780,
600, but there was less than 100000 in
the vaults. Tonight affairs have be-
come alarming, the financial clouds be-
coming darker every hour with
every new development. Men and
women clamored at the doors in vain.
The tide and pressure before the
doors becoming so great, strong guard
of policemen was finally placed there
and ordered to beat the bowling depos-
itorS back with their clubs, as it was
feared the bank would be demolished
and looted.
President Dill and Cashier McGrath
were arrested tonight upon the petition
of one of the depositors, and gave bail
in the sum of $1,000.
President Dill is condemned in the
strongest terms. but all have kindly
words for Cashier McGrath who is con-
fined to his bed by nervous prostration.
Mr.. McGrath stated this evening that
although lie had been talking by tele-
phone with Mr.. Dill Just before banking
hours yesterday, he had no inJimation
that the Cleartield bank was in serious
trouble until at a later hour he was noti-
fed of the fact by telephone. 1--WE have
no losses i'll our business and the only
money uncollectable is due from the
Clearlield bank"
Cashier McGIath estimates the liabil-
tiles at about 100000, and says that in
case they get nothing from Clearfeld
they will be able to pay 80 cents on the
dollar.
As Dill was leaving the court house a
half drunken Hungarian, whose money
is locked up in the bank, grabbed him
roughly by the arm. Five other Huns
jumped into the fray, quickly followed
by many officers. Dill was roughly
handled before he escaped to his
house. The house is guarded by police
officers who are kept busy in driving
the half-drunken Huns away. An order
has been issued to close all saloons in
order to prevent the furious Huns from
obtaining liquor.
PARIS, ILL.,. Oct. 1.-Developments in
the Chrisman bank failure not only con-
firm first reports but makes the situa-
ton even more serious than was sup
posed. 1t IS now stated on competent
authority that the loss will not be less
than S150,000. and will probably exceed
that sum. The assets will not exceed

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Oct. 1.-William
Fiege, son of Conrad Fiege, leading
citizen of this city, tonight fired shot
at Miss Annie LEM, daughter of re-
spectacle parents, and a young lady
much thought of in this city. lmagin-
ing he had killed Miss LEM, the young
man placed the pistol against his own
head and fired. He then ran home, but
just as he entered the house he fell into
his mothers arms, exclaiming Ppm
dying"
Miss LEM is a very pretty girl of
eighteen years, and Fiege has
been madly in love with her.
Tonight at $3.50 he pressed her
hard to decide in his favor, but she was
firm in her refusal. He then drew the
revolver. She screamed and threw up
her arm. The bullet passed through
her arm and glanced off her forehead.
She tainted, and he. supposing her
dead, shot himself. This took place on
the East side hill, opposite Griffith's
greenhouse. The affair has caused the
greatest excitement in the city, in which
both families are held in the highest
esteem. Miss LEM will live. Fiege
will die before morning.

PARIS STILL AGOG,
The Gay Capital is Thoroughly
Aroused.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-The main, in fact
practically the only new, feature of the
newspapers of this city to-day is the
suicide of Gen. Boulanger. One of the
prominent features of the Boulanger
story printed in Paris this morning is a
series of interviews with leading
Boulangists, a fact which goes to show
that American journalistic methods are
obtaining firm foothOld in Europe, in
spite of the sneers formally heaped
upon them,
The Debats says: Perhaps he
thought to be a Caesar or Napoleon,
though he had none of their genius.
Harsh words are needles. His miser-
able life ended in death, which although
also miserable, was dramatic. In all
likelihood the suicide was prompted bg
sincere feeling.
The Republique Franchise says: The
national army does not need an eX-
ample in order to remain loyal, But if
one were needed, that of Gen. Boulan-
ger would suffice to destroy any danger
Gus feeling among those who might feel
desire to be other than soldiers.
All the Paris newspapers agree III ex-
pressing the opinion that the death of
Boulanger will not affect the political
situation.
Nine. Boulanger, the wife of Gen.
Boulanger, who is living at Versailles,
was overcome with grief when informed
of her husbands tragic death in the
cemetery of Ixelles, near Brussels. She
tainted twice within short time after
hearing the sad news and is at present
very much depressed in spirits.
1t seems now to be certain that Nine.
De Bonnemain had received supposedly
trustworthy information that the life of
Gen. Boulanger was in actual danger
when she persuaded him to fly from
France.
1t is also admitted that though placed
in an awkward and difficult position,
Nine. DE Bonnemain was both liked
and respected by almost all her intimate
friends. Her devotion to the cause Of
Gen. Boulanger was absolute and unre-
hitting, and he seems to have fully rec
ognized this, for, when following her
coffin to the grave, Boulanger repeated
somberly to three friends who accom-
panied him:
'She was all had left, and now she
also is taken from me-"

DETROIT, Mimi, Oct. This alter
noon Hon. George w. Sweet came in
from White Earth agency, having been
ordered to forthwith leave the reserva-

connection with Gen. John b. Sanborn,

mixed blood Chippewas of Minnesota,
whose cases are pending before the
United States commission, of which
Hon. Oar Hall is chairman. These per-

and for this was set upon by a band Of
Indian police, dragged from Mr.Sweet's
Office and taken nine miles 10 Redwood,
outside OF the reservation. Sweet de-
manded by what authority they came
into his office to take Brown away.
This and the fact that he represents
those prosecuted people are the grounds
of his offending. The reservation In

Lynched.

Dg itSAOOs
HELENA, Ark, Oct lit is learned
that Sheriff Derrick, of Mariana, Ark,
left Cat Island last night having in
charge nine of the thirteen colored cot
ton-picker rioters who killed Inspector
Miller in Arkansas last Friday. The
sheriff was on his way to Mariana,
where he was going to put his
prisoners in Jail, but the party was
overtaken late last night by an armed
posse, who took the prisoners after
sharp struggle and hanged the entire
party. The labor troubles at Lee
county are probably over for the pres
ent. A passenger on the James Lee
to-day says the leaders of the negroes
have been either killed or captured.
At Star Landing n negro got on board
the Lee who was pretty badly wounded
In the thigh. He acknowledged
that he was with the crowd that
shot Mr.. Miller few days
ago. He also stated that the
party of fifteen negroes who had been
hiding in a swamp surrounded by
Sheriff'S posse had made a break for
liberty, and that five or six of them had
been killed or wounded and some of
them captured few miles below Star
Landing. While at the landing a crowd
Or masked men came on board and took
the wounded negro on shore with them.
AS the boat backed out a number of
shots were heard, but it is not known
whether the prisoner was shot. 1t is
thought that the man was Ben Patter-
son, the leader of the rioters.

HoUTZDALE, Pa, Oct. 1.-The excite

field and Houtzdale banks continues.
When depositors were informed they
were likely to receive less than so per
cent of their money, the lower classes
formed in squads, and shouted execra-
items and threats against the officers that

A large delegation of Houtzdale clti
Zens called on President Dill at Clear
field tonight and demanded and pleaded
with him that he make some satisfactory
statement. They pointed out that the
two towns were actually threatened
with financial ruin, and other disasters
In the future were to be feared unless
he made some sort of statement show
ing what he could and would do in pay

feet trust in Mr.. Gladstone, and its be-
lief that no wise or durable settlement
of the Irish question can be affected ex
cept by the establishment of an Irish
Legislative body for the management of
exclusively Irish affairs. The resolu-
ton, was approved with cheers.
DR.. Spence Watson. president of the
National Liberal federation, referring
to the discussion carried on recently by
the delegates to the trades union con-
gress on the eight-hourS question, de-
Tended the attitude which the fedora
toms council had taken upon that sub
ject, namely. thatits definite adoption
as one of the Liberal party's planks de-
pended upon the degree of unanimity
reported on from the local Liberal as
sociations, of which the federation is
the ultimate voice.
Later on resolution in favor of dis
establishing the Welsh church and to
amend free education by increasing the
popular control of the schools, was
passed.
Radicalis1n in Favor.
The indications are that the radical
element will be satisfied, and, at least,
with the advocacy of salaries for mem
berS of parliament and other measures
to be proposed and supported in the iu-
tereSt of the working classes, and that
that there will be united front in the
coming political contest. Mr.. Glad
stone has insisted that there shall be no
weakening in the support of Irish home
rule. and to his personal influence, more
than any other cause. is due the fact
that home rule will be kept in the van
as the watchword of the Liberal party.
TO his personal influence is also due
that there Is not q general splitting of
the Radicals, who are anxious to attack
the foundations of class privileges, 10
abolish the house of lords and the en-
tailment of estates, and to effect the
disestabiishment of the English church.
1t is recognized that the working class
eS are radical, ana are growing more
and more radical, and it is feared that
the disappearance of Mr.. Gladstone
from the scene will be followed by a
division of the Liberal party.
Mr.. Gladstone arrived here soon after
10 o'clock this evening, and was re-
ceived with boisterous demonstrations
of welcome.

THE ENGLISH ESTIMATE.
Pity Or Commendation Have Lit
tie Place.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Times says: Boulang-
er's only excuse is that, being at once
commonplace and sincere, he served,
without suspicion, as an instrument of
others. The irretrievable depth of his
fall shows that France, henceforward
mistress of her destines. is no longer
likely to take upon herself mastery.
With his corpse will be buried the latest
personitication of that eXecrable race
known as the SaviorS of Society.
The Times, in commenting on the
suicide, says: Gen. Boulanger cleared
the air of French politics. If the re-
public is again menaced, the danger
will come from more upright and manly
aspirants for power than Orleanist or
Bonapartist intriguers who figure i'll
the ''coulisses de BoulaDgiste."
The Paris correspondent of the
Standard says of Boulanger's death !:
All sides eXclaim that it was the best he
could do; that he was a man all the
same. The Vienna correspondent of
the Standard says: Boulanger's suicide
is the subject of conversation every
where. His fate is compared with that
of Balmaceda, which probably sug-
gested it. Characteristic stories are in
circulation about his devices to hide his
impecunioSity. Many knowing his cir
cumstances, anticipated the desperate
act

Incidents Recalled.

In a recent letter to his niece, Gen.
Boulanger said he desired to be buried
beside Nine. De Bonnemain, with her
photograph and lock of her hair in the
coffin and his wedding ring on his fin
ger. Gen. Boulanger's mother still be-
lieves he is travelling. Gen. Boulan-
gers Secre tary asserts that of late his
employer had had a consumptive wasted
appearance with a hectic flush on
his cheeks. He says that during
recent months the general spent an hour
daily in destroying letters and papers:
that he paid all tradesmen's accounts
himself and declined to discuss politics
with any one. A chambermaid enter
ing Gen. Boulanger's room fortnight
ago surprised the general on the point
of committing suicide. Nine. Bonnie
main left Boulanger 100000 francs in
her will, and he died without debts and
without pecuniary difficulties of any
kind.
NJ. Thiebaud and Deputies Laur.
Dumontel and Castelar, arrived here
to-day in body at the same moment as
NJ. ROchefort, in order to attend the
funeral of Gen. Boulanger. The re-
mains have been placed in coffin,
the outer casing of which, in
accordance with the desire of the
deceased, is an exact replica of the
one which contains the remains of
Nine. De Bonnemain. The grave where
his former mistress rests is to be opened
and space made for Boulapger's coffin
on level with and beside that of the
woman he loved. A change may be
made in this arrangement, but it is not
believed probable.
1t has been decided that the funeral
of Gen. Boulanger will take place Sat
urday afternoon. 1t will be purely
civil ceremony. The clergy, under the
instructions of the archbishop of.Ma-
lines, have finally and definitely refused
to officiate at the ceremonies attending
the interment of the generals remains.
