New York. January 28. The Paris corre-
spondent, of ttie Times telegraphed his paper
B« follows last night: At, midnight it is
evident that General Buulangcr will have
abcut HO,006 majority over M. Jacques,
which touches the wildest i»ue.ss that has
been quoted. Hp to the present hour there
has been no disturbances w orth counting,
though the deepest excitement 1 have seen
for many years prevails. All the boulevards
have been crowded with people waiting for
news the whole evening, and curiously
enough the crowds were almost invariably
against Boulanger. This seems to indicate
that he was supported by the wealthier
classes, inc luding the hotel and upper shop
keepers, who desire better trade, but not by
those who make up street assemblages. As
to what may happen inside Paris nobody
lias any views. Such calm judgment
as one can find to-night is concentrated
upon the question, what Germany
will think. Frenchmen may fully under-
otaud that Boulanger's election is due to
Panama canal influences, to dislike of rad-
icals, to clerical reaction, and a thousand
other things, but the problem is, will Ger-
many ever pretend to comprehend these
local factsf Will she not, instead, leap at
the chance of accepting Boulanger as the
evangel of revanche? 1 happen to know
two war correspondents who to-night got
word from their editors to hold themselves
reaily for emergency. It does not neces-
sarily mean that trouble is coming, but it
is (he most intelligible translation of the
meaning of to-day's work.
1'AftISIAN FKESS COMMENT.
Paris, January 28.—In consequence of the
victory of General Boulanger yesterday the
ministry tendered their resignations this
morning but President Carnot declined to
accept them. Republican journals of this
cityj while admitting lhat the election of
General Boulanger is a serious reverse, de-
clare that it is not sufficient to discourage
the party, which must unite more closely
against the threatened Caesarism. Monar-
chist papers assert that the result of the
election is a condemnation of the parlia-
mentary republic aud presages its downfall.
Boulangist organs emphatically declare that
the eloction is a blow to the government.
Le Figaro says that at to-day's session of
the chamber of deputies M. Jouvencel, radi-
i-tared, should ntierthelesa he safeguarded
by necessary forces, otherwise the govern-
ment would betray the country. In con-
clusion tile king said: "Italy will continue
to work for peace, which all desire, and
wjiich 1 can declare will be kept by us."
GERMANY.
THE HILL AI'PIIOVFD.
Berlin', January 28.—The committee of
the reichstag to which was referred the east
African bill, has approved of the measure
afterstrikingout the clause placing the East
African company under the control of Cap-
tain Wissman.
R EICHSTAG PflOC E E1) I Ml S.
In the rcichstag to-day Ilcrr von Hennig-
sen, leader of the national liberal party,
raised the sugar bounties question. He de-
clared that the London conference was un-
satisfactory. Some of the powers, he said,
gave entire adherence to the decisions of
the conference, while others agreed to the
winter reserve.
He-r von Maitzann, minister of state for
the imperial treasury, replied for the gov-
ernment. lie said that no satisfactory re-
sult could be obtained by isolated action on
the part of Germany. The only method by
which the difficulty could be solved was an
international convention.
GAVE A STATE DIXNKB.
The emperor and empress gave a state
dinner to their guests yesterday in honor of
the emperor's birthday. The city was
splendidly Illuminated in the evening.
When the colors of the guards were re-
moved yesterday from the old castle to the
Caple manor William left in their place the
green and golden laurel wreath. In an or-
der of the day to the army the emperor said:
"The wreath which' I have deposited in the
now desolate standard room of my grand-
father must fade, it is true, but unlading
will remain the laurels with which the
heroic guards, animated by his spirit, have
adorned these insignia of theirs with rec-
ords of deeds that will never die."
ItEGAKDED AS AX EVIL AtlGUnr.
Newspapers here of political opinion re-
gard the success of General Boulanger as an
evil augury for the French republic. The
North German Gazette says: It is the most
important event of recent times in the do-
main of foreign politics. The regime of the
parliamentary republic has suffered a se-
vere reverse in its own capital. The defeat
of the government will probably lead to
all sorts of surprises.
The Post says that France is heartily sick
of the republic. It says: "A government
that has received such a blow can not long-
er be regarded as a serious government.
General Boulanger will not allow the im-
pression made by his victory to fall before
the election takes place, as otherwise the
government might by bold measures win
bacn the votes it has lost. The centenary
of 188'J will not be behind its predecessors
in importance."

CABINET DISCUSSES THE SITUATION.
The cabinet held a meetiug this morning
and discussed measures to be adopted in
the event of disorders arising. It is stated
thai, a majority of the ministers are in favor
of dissolving tho chambers aud holding a
general election in April, but first modify-
ing (he electoral laws In order to prevent
plebiscitary proceedings. Some members
of the chamber of deputies advocate strong
anti-lioulangist measures by the govern-
ment. They urge that General Campanini
be asked to form a cabinet.
President Carnot held a conference this
morning with men prominent iu political
life, It is the president's Intention to
calmly await events, and to accept all the
responsibility that the situation involves.
He will not abandon the presidency until
the expiration of his term of office. Prime
Minister Floquet h«s decided to resign or
take any other action that the chamber of
deputies may oonsider that the interests
of the republic demands.
ABANDONED HIS INTENTION.
M. Jouvencal has abandoned his intention
to interpellate the government in the cham-
ber of deputies this afternoon in regard to
measures to be adopted to check the spread
of Boulangerism. At this hour (3.30 p. in.)
but few persons are gathered outside the
chamber, and nothing noteworthy has oc-
curred. In government circles it is consid-
ered that the election of General Boulanger
menaces the republic, 90,000 conservatives
Sud 150,000 republicans having voted for
iiu. One minister, in speaking of the situ-
ation, quoted the words of M. Thiers: '"We
should take everything seriously; nothing
tragically."
THE QUESTIONS POSTPONED.
Various questions which it was proposed
to ask the government in the chamber of
deputies to-day, concerning the political
situation, have been postponed until Thurs-
day. General Boulanger did not appear in
the chamber. The crowd outside the eham-
)>er increased as the afternoon wore on and
be oarae somewhat excited. A large number
of policemen are in readiness to suppress
any disorders that may arise. M. Floquet,
r)4iirie minister, was preseus in the cham-
ber. His appearance was careworn,
BOULANGER WILL ATTEND.
General Boulanger has announced his
his intention to attend the session
of the chamber oi! deputies on Thursday.
The chamber to-day passed a credit of 42,-
000,000 francs, to be expended in improving
military posts. Premier Floquet proposes
to Introduce in parliament on Thursday
next, an anti-plebfscifce measure, and a bill
to re-establish thescrutiu d'arrondissement
system. The bureau of the left desire the
introduction of both measures to-inorrow
in order to block M. Jouvencial's proposed
interpellation.
The Temps does not attempt to deny the j
importance of General Boulanger's triumph,
but at the same time it strenuously rejects I
the idea of the adoption of exceptional
measures by the government, or rebelling i
against tne popular verdict. General
Boulanger, it says, will not try to conspire j
against the republic, simply because he has
no need to do so. Tho electors, it believes,
voted chiefly not against the republic, but
against an incapable and ignorant chamber ,
of deputies. It says that the system of ?
election known as thescrutiu d'arondisse- j
ment ought to be im mediately re-established,
the budget for 1889 adopt ed, and parliament
adjourn until October, when a general elec-
tion will be had. lu the meantime, it saj's, !
the country should occupy itself solely in
endeavors to promote the success of the ex-
hibition.

cal deputies urged the formation on the

London, January 28.—The Times says
Englishmen will be curious to know the
exact value of Bismarck's assertion that

in regard to Samoa. It is difficult to believe
that England has given any kind of ap-
proval to the deportation of Jlalietoa or to

comment on the election.
The Standard, commenting on the result
of the Paris election, says: Paris has done
many wonderful things, but she has never
done anything more wonderful than the
election of Boulanger, and, we are bound to
add, never anything more ignomiuious or
insane. Paris made the war of 1870, and it
seems probable that she will make another.
The Daily News says: The election of Gen-
eral Boulanger is duo to the unpatriotic, un-
scrupulous conduct of the conservatives. It
will be to the lasting discredit of (Jomte
do Paris that he advised his followers to
support Boulanger.
what is thought of boulanuiju's election.
VIENNA, January 28.—The Political Cor-
respondence referring to General Boulan-
ger's victory saysi "In diplomatic circles
here the election is regarded as a pure
symptom of a coming change of the system
in the government offices. No immediate
danger is feared as regards international
Complications, as it is believed that internal
dissension will prevent external entangle-
ments."
The Netiis Freie Presse says: "If Presi-
dent Carnot, uniting the republicans under
the banner of honesty, appeals boldly and
openly to France, he can still bring the
country to reason, lie must, while bravely
attacking Boulanger, snpprQss with a ii^m
hand thd rivalries in his otvn camp. Not
the republic alone but the existence of
France is at stake."
The Wuiner Tagblatt says the return of
France to a programme o{ rfioderation is
hardly possible. Moderate elements will
soon disappear from the scene and wild
revolutionists hold the field. The danger
of war between France and Germany has
now become real.
The Deutsche Zeitung predicts stormy
times in France. It i^oubts whether (he re-
publicans have sufficient strength to suc-
cessfully resist Boulanger.

Rome, January 28.—The Fanfulla, com-
menting upon yesterday's election in Paris,
says that unless General Boulanger is ex-
iled as a pretender he will speedily become
master of the situation. The kiforma,
while admitting that the situation in
France is grave, refuses to believe that the
republic is near its death. The government
must, however, it says, make a complete
change in its home and foreign policy. All
Italian papers recognize the gravity of the
situation.

Interest In tlie Moore Defal-
cation at Indianapolis.
ClucAoo, 111., January '28.—The trial of
Mrs. Rawson, for shooting t he lawyer of her
millionaire husband for assailing her char-
acter, ended this afternoon, so far as the
hearing of testimony is concerned. The
feature of the day was the ludicrous trap
into which fell one of the noted experts who
were put on the stand to show that she was
not insane. The victim was Dr. J. G. Kier-
nan. His testimony was notable for its
rather sensational bearing on the evidence
which sent President Garfield's slayer to tho
gallows. Mrs. Rawson'a lawyer, Seth Crews,
had asked tho witness if he did not testify
at the Guiteau trial that the assassin was
insane. He said he did.
"Still," said the lawyer, "Guiteau was
hanged."
"Yes, but experts who swore that he was
sane perjured themselves. They gave testi-
mony contrary to their own writings. I
want to say too that several of them have
since been dismissed from the institution
which they controlled for mismanagement.
Those so-called prosecutors in that case
were paid by the government, while the ex-
perts for the defense were dragged to Wash-
ington by the government and got noth-
ing."
After this outbreak on the Guiteau case
Mr. Crews picked up a book which he said
was Ray's Medical Jurisprudence.
"Now, doctor," Mr. Crews »aid in a bland
way, "I want to read to you two cases which
I read to experts who testified before you.
They are as follows: 'K. J., a woman,
aged -10 years, cause of at tack, great domestic
trouble. She is a woman of quick, active,
strong mind, and known among that class
of women as strong minded. The physi-
cian in charge of her, being asked how a
woman of such a mind could becomeinsane,
replied that she could not bend, hence she
broke.'
'A. J., a woman of very active, strong
mind and of a highly nervous and excitable
temperament. This cause, like the previous
one, was the fall of domestic difficulties of
a trying character, which had mortified her
reatly. She had shown suicidal tendencies,
ut her friends had supposed these were
overcome. She had shown great excite-
ment, at times followed by great prostra-
tion. The excitement was aroused on the
mention of the name of a woman she sup-
posed her husband to have been intimate
with. She became incurably insane."
Dr. Kiernan thought the lawyer was read
lug from the book, but those who were sit-
ting behind Mr. Crews saw that he had two
sheets of manuscript closely written inside
the volume.
"That first case you read," said the expert
witness. "I remember very well. 1 havo
read it, but that was a case of hysterical in-
sanity."
"Look here, doctor," said Crews, tearing
the two sheets of paper out of tile book and
handing them to the witness, "these cases
are not iu the book nor in any book; I made
them up mysalf."
The doctor's face became very red when
he saw what a trap he had walked into.
"They are very similar, Mr. Crews," lie
said, "to many cases in the books in their
general features."
Mr. Crews said lie had based his fictitious
cases on Mrs. Rawson's history and symp-
toms. The doctor was allowed to depart,
while Mrs. Rawson leaned back on her
chair and laughed uutil the tears ran down
her cheeks.

They say that when he was a little more

pistol away. Johnson's story is not be-
lieved, though no papers or other evidence
was found to show who he was or why lie
should wish to shoot himself.
A Refugee Shows l''ight and Is Shot Down—

Dallas, Tex., January US.—General Ca-
bell is in receipt of a telegram from the
sheriff of Clay county saying: John Demick-
son and Ed Beaves will start to Graham to-
night with Boone Marlow', remains. The
telegram did not give further particulars.
This is the Marlow who is charged with
killing Sheriff Wallace of Young county.
J. H. Griffiths of Clay county, who ar-
rived iu the city to-day, states that Demick-
son aud Beaver trailed Marlow to Indian
Territory, where his hiding place was re-
vealed to them by a man who had been car-
rying him food. Tliey then laid in ambush,
and as Alarlow emerged from the brush
they ordered him to throw up his hands.

THE MOORE DEFALCATION.
Interest in the Case Continues at Indiannpo-
li*—Figures Now Placed at 461,000,000.
Indianapolis, Ind., January 38.—Interest
in the great Moore defalcation continues
almost unabated here. New and startling
rumors are constant ly being circulated and
telegraphed abroad. It is now reported
that Moore's shortage will reach the high-
est figures, and that a round million Is the
size ho made in the Connecticut Mutual
surplus. This statement is published this
evening as a fact, but careful inquiry fails
to verify it.
On the other hand Winfield Miller, the
trustee to whom Moore transferred his
property, and who is now acting as the
representative of the company here, states
positively that the defalcation does not ex-
ceed the figures first given by President
Green, of which $100,000 lias been made good
by Moore's property transfer.
As tho investigation of Moore's business
and books is being made under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr. Miller, he certainly
has the authority, and the means of know-
ing the extent or the shortage seems un-
questionable.

the suspicion of Mr. Browdns, Mr. Smith's
clerk, and he communicated it
to the authorities. The latter made
an examination of the ground and arrived
at the conclusion that the direct route from
the tent to the highway passed by the win-
dow of Mr. and Mrs. Smith's bed-room.
There wore no shutters to the window,
and iu counting his money at night par-
ties on the outside might see him. Thus
reasoned Sheriff Lewis, Detective Cain and
City Marshal Arnold, and they then
tried to learn from Mr. Smith some
points by which the authors of the
robbery aud a worse crime might be identi-
fied. Mr. Smith informed them that one
man was taller than the other, that the
taller man wore a black slouched hat with
holes in it aud had soft hands, and that the
other man, who was stout built, worea light
coat, aud his hauds felt like those of a
working man. He had a peculiar voice,
which reminded him of that of a gentle-
man who works in a railroad office in the
city, and there was something pe-
culiar about the other man's gait.
Both men, lie added, had their faces closely
masked with handkerchiefs, and the hand-
kerchiefs on tho face of the thick-set man
seemed to be puffed out below the nose.
WITH THESE SLENDER THREADS,
and having learned all that was possible re-
specting the habits of the suspects Sheriff
Lewis, armed with a search warrant and
accompanied bv Deputy Sheriff Moore,
Chief of Police Arnold, Mr. C. C.
Cain and Patrolman Kirby, proceeded
this morning to the tent. Entering it, they
found seated on a rough bunk a weather-
beaten young woman who said her name
was Mary Askey, that she had come from
Texarkana, had no" home, and last
Thursday had accepted an engagement, from
those men at £3 a week to do their cooking.
She slept in one of tho buuks she said, and
the two men in another. Tho only furni-
ture was two bunks, a few boxes which
answered as sofas, a trunk, two valises, a
few cooking utensils and a stove,
the latter a curiosity. It consisted of a long
plate of sheet, iron bent into a quadrangular
trough and placed in a trench,
through which it extended to the
outside of the tent., where it was
conn-.'cted with an upright pipe which gave
it draught. The l'uel was placed in the open
end, and being lighted furnished an extra-
ordinary amount of heat.
ilr. Lewis thinks this rude expedient
for a stove might prove a valuable patent
for troops in winter quarters. No provis-
ions were found lu the tent.
While the officers were searching Ladone
walked iu and was takeu in charge.
lu the trunk were found somo carpentors'
and mechanics' tools. A black slouched
hat with lioles in it was found under one of
the boards and was acknowledged, it is
said, by Ladone to be his, and a light coat
whielit'prt>ve»l-ta belong to Gilson was also ,
found. An examination of Gilson's valise '
disclosed a handkerchief, on which was
dried blood, and which, in connection with
certain facts not fit for disclosure, is con-
sidered an important discovery.
Ladone was then brought to the sheriff's
office, where he arrived about noon, and
later In the day Gibson was arrested by
Messrs. Casna and Kirby at the Malone
building on Pearl street, where- he was
employed on carpenter work. Being in-
formed that he was wanted he took off
his apron and proceeded with the officers
without asking a question until he had
gone a block. Arriving at the sheriff's
office Mr. Smith was called in. He positive-
ly identified the slouched hat as the one the
tall man wore. He also identified the coat
aud the peculiarity in Gibson's gait and in
Ladone's voice. Both meu were then quiet-
ly removed to the jail.
The accused have been recognized bv Mr.
Smith's clerk as tho men who traded occa-
sionally at Mr. Smith's store.
Ladone is about 5 feet lOinches high, with
fair hair and mustache and an aquiline nosq.
lie is about 28 years old. Gilson is about 80
years old, fair haired, stout built and al-
most as tall as Ladone, and has an immense
mustache.
Mr. Cain stated to a News representative
last night, that he had learned that Gilson
did not go to work on the Malone building
uutil after the assault in question was com-
mitted. If tnis is not so the contrary cau
easily be proven.
Ladone, beyond wood-chopping for hie
neighbors, did, it is said, but very little
work. While being taken from the tent to
the sheriff's office he said he had heard that
the Smiths had been robbed, but ho made
no allusion to any worse crime.
No money was found on cither of the
men, aud both assert their innocence.
Smith looks like a broken down, feeble old
man, and has retired from business.
