Boulanser's Sensational Death.

10OAAaus64 . OCl4SSbAOl41A O~S~N~--
The name of Gen. Boulanger figures
! prominently in our foreign dispatches this
! morning. The world lad almoss forgotten
him For br ef peg cd Of his career he
was the sub ject of a grea1 deal Of comment
throughout the civil!zet world. lis ss1sa-
tionai death willrecall hisna'ne again TO the
public mind for q few days, aDd thea he
will be wholly forgotten.
He never did anything that vas worthy OF
particular notice. He promised, however,
to do great things for France. That was in
lS56-'87. BY Introducing into the army
number of very desirable reforms he had
succeeded in gaining the attention and ad-
miration Of the French people. The feeling
against Germany was exceedingly bitter,
and the desire for revenge was strong. Gen.
Boulanger was looked upon ss military
genius. and it was believed that
he could carry out successfully
the policy Of revenge. He
did all he could to encourage this belief.
His appearances in public were so arranged
as to excite interest in him aud arouse pop
ular enthusiasm in his behalf. A music
hall song in his praise was extensively sung
creasing the Boulanyer fever.
But the man never did anything that
showed he possessed more than
ordinary talents, either as
soldier or q statesman. He was successful
chiefly in winning the admiration OF the
unthinkinG multitude. He never impressed
men of real ability as having a capacity for
a great undertaking. And in little while
the people of France discovered what he
was, and virtually abandoned him.
The one person who chung to him and be-
lieved in him until sue died was the woman
upon whose grave he took his life. She had
a large fortune, which she spent to aid him
in his schemes. Jules Ferry referred to him
as a cafe concert hero, and the reference
was not altogether unjust.
He was minister of war for little more
than a year, but he made no reputation in
that position. In fact, he was failure.
He was on the down grade when, in March,
| 1888, he was deprived of his command for
disobedience of orders. He afterward at
tempted political career, but it was q
failure, and be lad to leave France. He had
many acquaintance III this country, having
been chief of deputation of French officers
who visited this country in 1876 to attend
the centenary of American independence.
His death will not be deeply mourned in
France, and tho pleasure-loving Parisians
will not suspend their gaieties long enough
to drop tear to his memory. An exile, he
will be laid to rest by the hands of strangers.

shivers for the supsrstitious.

From the 81, Louis Post Dispatch (Dem.l
The tragic death of ex-Gov. Morehouse recalls
the fact that he was one OF the men upon
whom the father of Maxwell Brookes prayed
that the wrath of God might be visited on &C
count Of his share in the responsibility for the
death of his son. Moorehouse was acting gov

Of the interposition of providence to avenge the
death of a murderer upon man who conscien-

overheating, delirnm and suicide of the ex-gOv-

considered that vengeance in this instance

by unreasonlng grief. but the event is one OF
those strange condolences which make the

Possibly the reason why Dictator Quay is
not worrying himself greatly over the trib-

thieves is because they have already done
him about all the good they can and he has
no further use for their services Under
such circumstances if they are all snugly
locked up he will thus be relieved of few

An English official report on the Sigri in

aouId,s Southern Rou;e.

Jay Gould has the credit of having dis
turbed Wall street greatly within the last
week by Withholding the quarterly div ideud
of the Missouri Pacific. and in an interview
he other day he gave western railroad men
something to think about. In the inter-
view IN question he said that western rail-
roads had made combination against him
with the view of preventing grain from be-
ing shipped over the Missouri Pacific and its
connections. In order to show these roads
that he couldn't DO bottled up by them he
intended, he said, to open route to New Or
leans by completing a line from Fort Smith,
Ark, to a junction with the Cotton Belt
road. The Missouri Pacific would then have
e route to tidewater at New Orleans by way
of the Cotton Belt road and the Texas
Pacific, both Of which are controlled by Mr..
Gould.
The opening of this route would disturb
western railroad men greatly, because Mr.
Gould could transport grain to
New Orleans for about the same rate per
bushel as the western roads now transport
it to Chicago, which city is 1000 miles from
tidewater.
If Mr.. Gould should carry out this scheme
Chicago and the western roads would suffer
the loss of a very considerable part of their
grain business. Much of the grain for OK
port would go to New Orleans.
There has been great deal of talk re-
Gently about Mr.. Gould's purpose to
send western freights through Savannah,
and it was stated recently by prominent
official of the Richmond and Danville that
arrangements for that purpose had been
completed. Thus far, however, western
freights through this port have not greatly
increased. II, however, the western roads
continue their alleged hostility to the Mis-
souri, Pacific, both New Orleans and Savan-
nah may become sea coast outlets of the
Gould system. But Mr.. Gould seems to have
so many schemes in connection with his
railroad system that it is difficult to keep
track of them.

Before the republican state senators of
Pennsylvania manifest any very eager in
clination for an investigation of the treas
ury thieves they want the goverhOr and the
attorney general to disclose the evidence in
hand aud let them see how bad the case is.
They want to know first if there is to be
any chance for the skillful operation of a
whitewash brush. Otherwise they may net
feel inclined to participate in the post
mortem proceedings. They we'll understand
that this sort of juggling with the assets of
the state treasury has grown just trife
monotonous and if this case turns out as
lad as it now looks it is apt to prove the
death blow to the Republican party's long
term of triumph in that state.

Oriental diplomacy seems to require a
great deal of able-bodied prevarication.
Later developments in the ''Sigri incident"
show that the probabilities Of the case as
foreshadowed by the MORNING NEWS de-
scribed accurately the real circumstances as
they transpired. After Turkey had &C
tually given England permission to make
an aggrt ssive demonstration calculated to
restrain Russian encroachments the Orien-
tai diplomats flippantly denied it with SO
much naive plausibility that even the willy
car was deceived more or less and only
needed the absurd British picnic fairy story
to be apparently completely imposed upon.
1t is so common a custom for thu British
marines to suddenly jump off on a foreign

modern munitions of war that such an &C.

Conflicting Theories.

From the Detroit Free Press,
Once upon a midnight dreary
detective formed theory
That man was being murdered in the street a
block below;
He could hear him loudly calling
AS the wicked blows were falling,
And his keen detective instinct told him all he
wished to know.
By the sound his ear detected
That the blows must be directed
By man of blonde complexion, with blue and
gentle eye
And with legs little banded,
Either right or else left handed,
And between four feet six inches and six feet
four inches high.
SO he calmly sat and waited
Till the noise had all abated:
Then be strolled at leisure down the street the
corpse TO note.
There he met with Mrs. Leary,
Who herself had formed a theory
For she saw the fight between O'Dooley's dog
and Grady's goat.

Light and Electricity.

Philadelphia scientists are preparing to
find out how fast an electric current
travels. Al experiment will be made,
probably from the Franklin Institute, by
connections over the Atlantic cable to
Liyerpool and return. A recent test ap-
reared to show that an electric current
shuffled over to Europe and back IN
something like second, or at the rate
of only some 100000 miles a minute,
while light amblcs along at ten-million-
mile a-minute gait. American scientists
are not willing to give up the record to
sunlight. :,
The most recent experiment was tried
at McGill College, Montreal, to Liver
pooi and return. The distance traverSed
was 5000 miles. Time, one second and
one-twentieth OF second. The con-
ditions were not good. Hence the neces.
sity for another experiment. Some en-

It remains to speak of Adele and her
boy. Some further mystery continued to
lineer about them for O considerable
length of time On the morning after
the death of Bonconrt, jasmine Lodge,
to the astonishment of every o. le, was
found to be completely closed up and
deserted The keys had been left with
neighboring oottaSer, and subsequent
examin ation of the interior, together with
inquiries at the railway station, simply
revealed the fact thst.everything belong
ing to Adele, including the remains Of
her brother, had been hurriedly carried
in the direction of London by daylight
of the succeeding day. The .servants-sll
of them foneigners-together with the
horses and vehicles that had belonged to
that irregular and unconventional estab-
lishme mt, had Just as silently and myster.
iously disappeared.
. 1t was understood that Adele would
have been possessed of considerable
means by her brother's death, and it was
generally onjectured that she had thus
hurried out of sight and mind as the best
means Of avoiding the scandal which she
had 30 much cause to dread.
But nothing was definitely known until
nearly twelve month Later. when it came
to MI. Hartwell's knowledge, through a
travelling friend, and from him to the
knowledge of those chiefly interested.
that Adele was leading q retired ana
blameless life in the port of Dieppe, at
tending to the education of her promising
boy, who had been named Victor Ronce-
vile, and being held in good esteem by
reason of her unobtrusive charities.
