and Ian AMI Railroad Commissioners.

Boston, Nov. 2.-The question OF ap-
p1rtioning the cost Of separating the

Bristol county commissioners, Bentley
w. Warren. for the Union Street Rail-
way, and Senator Lloyd Chamberlain
If Brockton for Mattapoisett and other
Plymouth county towns.
Senator Chamberlain was the first
speaker and argued that the bridge was
expected to cost 5000 900 and by changes
and enlargements IL is likely to cost
Sl,O00000. I'll year the Legislature
passed an act limiting any assessment
on Plymouth coun.y 20 its proportion
Of a bridge costing s350,OpO. Mr.. Cham
berlain's contention was that under this
recent legislation Plymouth county
could not be assessed for the separation
OF grades being considered at this hear
ing.

delpl.ia and Reading company stated
that six trains daily left it's coal pock-
cts and crossed RriLge street 100 feet

shocked the conscience of the world a
month and more ago. That two young
French captains, one the son of for
mer Minister of War, and both social
favorites in the most exclusive military
circles, should outlaw themselves for
ever by such an act of seventeenth
century piracy was declared impossi-

Nagro to Saint Louis, leaves no doubt
that Captains Voulet and Chanoine had
become (since reported as assassinated

dan, commanding large force of dis
ciplined native troops seduced from
their French allegiance by license to
slave trade and pillage, a new French
army scandal has arisen.
The recruiting of native troops by
Europeans is shown to be nothing less
than slave trading; the administration
Of the French Soudan is filled with
cruel abuse; French officers have
caught the mysterious blood fever of
the Dark Continent.
The story of the excesses and cruel
ties that led to the investigation of
Colonel Klobb throws cynical light on
the value Of an education and social
training deemed faultless in the 1ower
of Saint Cyr.
Lieutenant MERCER, son of the fam
GUS general, is about to be tried for
the assassination Of his negro servant
in the Gourounsi. For this act the
English officers of the neighboring

loot was generous. You have women,

Successful, they might have reigned
ten years, to the annoyance or all Eu-
rope, and then treated for peace. Il
appears that voulet was the dreamer
while Chanoine was the c0ld-blooded
calculator.

but putting even his weakness at the
service of an ambition that is not JUS
titled by his merits. He is the straw
man, the hand that signed the orders
that are Chanoine's justifcations; his
nullity delivers him up hand and foot
to his accomplice, carrying with him
the generous hearts he has surprised
and deceived. He pretends to weaken
at the sight of bleeding chicken,
while he cuts the threats of thousands
of innocent beings. 1t is not necessary
to be a clairvoyant to divine the lien
of blood uniting these four miserables.
Voulet, Chanoine, the Doctor Henrie
and the Sergeant Major Laury,"
The affair voulet-C hanoine-Klob is
called scandal. Bad as it is. it is
only tiny scandal compared with the
mass of revelations it is bringing out
with respect to the bloody abuses of
the administration of the French Sou
dan. The documents of NJ. yigne
d'Oeton and the official reports unearth-
ed by other indignant Deputies are sure
to cause the matter to be brought up
for ventilation at the meeting OF the
Chambers.
Meanwhile splendid opening is afforded
army fighters of the stripe of Urban
Goheir, out of work since the closing of
the Dreyfus case. Captain voulet is an

facts of the succeeding massacre are
well known; but the dramatic details
of the killing are revealed for the first
time in the official report of Captain
Grandeyre. The defenders of the
honor of the army (forgetful of the
honor of Colonel Klobb) are imagining
astonishing excuses for Captains YOU
let and Chanoine in the personal en-
nifty of General De Trentinian, Cover
nor of the French Soudan, who, after
secretly checking the mission at every
step, sent Colonel Klobb to relieve the
young heroes of the fruit of their tolls.
The tale is hardly serious, because at
the time General De Trentinian was
not yet Governor. while their sole
fruits" consisted of the bloody afro
cities that aroused the shame and in
dignation of Lieutenant Peteau, new
Picquart.

the Gironde, in line with the army de-
Tending Petit Journal, the Echo de
Paris, the Intransigeant and the AS
sumptionist Fathers Croix. when
Colonel Klobb presented himself before
it. Captain Voulet saw in him only
man who pretended to appropriate
the fruit of his labors. That that man
was a Frenchman and a colonel, his
compatriot and his superior, he cared
not. 1t was against the usurper that
he raised himself.
He has come here to supplant me-

With this he tore off his officers

picked them UP and cut them into lit

his camp table.

With this he ordered his blacks to be-

should have fired without hesitation On
the flag. while Klobb's men should

So did these two men, youlet and

Captain Chanoine, they would pretend
they had killed all the inhabitants"
Lieutenant Peteau tells how they
brought the bleeding members on plat
tiers to the officers at dinner. On jan
uary "a Captain Chanoine, surprised
by the revengeful natives, lost six of his
allies. For this he cut off the heads of
twenty prisoners and planted them on
stakes. 1t was the practice of the mis-
sion to cut off the heads of all porters
who fell by the wayside under their
loads Often it happened that Ser
geant Major Laury "mercifully" blew
out their brains instead
A few months ago all Paris ran to see
the native troops accompanying "the
brav' Marchand." Few of the applaud
ing thousands dreamed how these same
"sons Of France by adoption" were re-
cruited.
