ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

CHICAGO, October S.-The convention of
the Irish National league and societies
throughout the United States and Canada is
in session here.
The policy of the gathering was shown by
the opening speech of O'Nelll Ryan, of st.
LOUIS which was received with every mark
of approval.
They were not there. Mr.. Ryan said, to
uphold any section or faction, but he hoped
to say to the Irish people in Ireland that
when they presented a strong and and united
'front.' then, and not till then, should they re-
ceive the moral and material support of the
Irish people in America. Only an aggres-
siVe movement, independent of both English
parties, could command the unstinted aid
from America that had been nobly given
during the last ten years.

Suicide of General BouIanger.


OF 36n6Tal
BRUSSELS, October 2.-General Boulanger
committed suicide on the tomb of Madame
Bonnemain, who died recently in this city.
Madame Bonnemain had been known as
the mistress of the dead general. She ac-
companied him to England after his fight
from France, and early in July last she was
dangerously i'll in Brussels, suffering from
consumption. A physician went expressly
IN order to treat Madame BonnemaIn by a
new system. consisting in inoculating the
poison affected with the germs of phthlsis
with gayaeol, which is obtained from creo-
sote. However. in spite of the efforts made
10 save her, Madame Bonnemain died dur
ing the evening of July II.
Madame Bonnemain at the height of Gen
eral Bouianger's> career, two or three years
ago, lived in the rue de Berie, Paris where
she was continually visited by the general.
soon discovered that the two persons referred
to were very intimate.
Madame Boulanger was informed of these
facts but refused to apply for a divorce. It
was greatly through Madame BOnnemain's
power that General Boulanger was able to
carry on his political intrigues, for madame
had inherited fortune of 81, 10000, all of
which sum she devoted to the cause OF the
then popular leader. To such an extent did
General Boulanger carry his intatuatlon for
Madame Bonnemain that when the French
government determined TO arrest MIN ne
could not be persuaded to pose as martyr
before the French people by going to Jail,
preferring to fly with his mistress from
France to England and eventually 10 Brus-
sells, where they have both met their death.
General BOulanger committed suicide at
about noon. He stood alone by the grave of
Madame BOnnemain some tune, appearing
to be deeply affected by sorrowful reeollec-
tons. An atteudent of the general, who had
respectfully remained at some distance from
Madame Bonnemain's tomb, suddenly heard
a sharp report in that direction. Running
to the spot the attendant found General
Bonlanger lying dead upon the ground with
a revolver clutched in his right hand. A
hasty examination of the body showed that
the dead man-had placed the weapon to his
night ear ana fred the fatal shot.

An Improbable Story.

MENTOR, GUATEMALA, October IA retired
American officer residing here says that three
Americans, supplied with abundance of
money, had been here two months and had
told him that they we're agents of a comblna-
ton in New York to effect a revolution in
Guatemala; that during that time many ex-
perienced military men had arrived IN that
country. in small squads, and been distrib-
uted to various points, where they were ready
to take command when the rising should
occur. The inference Is that the troubles
now occurring there have their origin and
support from this scheme.

ST. Paul, October 1.-Two more wheat
Hold Your Crop circulars are out, the first
from Ignatius Donnelly, president of the
Minnesota alliance. and who urges farmers
to hold their wheat for thirty days longer.
In it he says: II think every intelligent
man in Minnesota knows that wheat is sell
ing far below its value, as the organization
has not taken the responsibility of giving
any advice upon the subject, believing it
outside of their function to do so, aud has no
experiment to make in any official way, but
it is very clear that If not bushel OF wheat
is sold IN Minnesota by farmers during the
next thirty days, that the wheat pits of Chi
cago, New York and London would be full
of dead bears, and farmers would get for
their wheat crop what It is worth. Sell pota-
toes, barley, rye-anything else. Stand on
your creditors for time, keep on plOughing,
but don't sell any wheat for a month and see
what will be the result. do not say to you
that wheat will go to S1.50 or Sl.O per
bushel, nor do l ask you to hold your crop
till next spring; nor do / speak IN behalf of
the state farmers alliance, but IN my md
Yldual capacity, express my belief that the
farmers are being robbed of one-fourth the
value of their product. They should totally
stop ali sales of wheat for time, and then
let it out slowly, 50 as not to break down the
market"
The State will come out on Friday with
the contents of circular much tine same as
that of the last one. This one simply takes
up the wheat situation where the other left
on. The crops of ten years, from 1880 to
1880, are taken as basis of computation.
and the circular holds there is danger of ex-
porting too much wheat. During the ten
years in question. it is claimed we raised
4, 4S7, 10000 bushels of wheat. OF this
amount ], 26S, OOO, 900 bushels were exported,
and 3s226, OOO, 600 consumed at home. The
average population during these ten years
was 81, 0OO, 600 people We have now Gao,
0OO. 900 bushels, and will consume 369, SOC, 900
leaving for export 143, OOO, 900. In other words
We raised 81, 600, 600 bushels more than the
average of those ten years, but we consume
100000 bushels more, leaving only
16, O00, 900 bushels more for export. The cir
cular continues: We have now exported 80, :
900, 900 bushels of our new crop and have
90, 900 bushels to spare. We export at the
rate of 500, 600 bushels per week, and our
surplus will be exhausted if we keep this up
till Christmas. If We sell our wheat to
Europe cheap we will have extraordinary
high wheat prices here, with a moderate
boom or We will have moderately high prices
with an extraordinary boom if We hold wheat
for high prices now. If we succeed IN hold
ing the prlces of cereals to the point the sit
uatiOn justlfes, the boom IN business will be
unprecedented and workingmen will have
the benefit of it like every one else"

cy now is to enormous size with the
increase in speed. The Cunard line
is building a steamer to be 600 feet in
length, which is expected to break

feet longer than the Teutonic, the
latest record-breaker, and 100 feet
longer than the champion of 1882.
