Qe risse and other Boulangist members ot the Chamber of Deputies mot in tbe Place de la Concorde before the statue of Strasburg yesterday, intending to bold a meeting. A crowd of several thousand persons gathered and M Deroulede was about to begin a speech when a police commhsury named C emend forced his wav through the crowd and approaching Deroule-ie forbade him to sppafc. Derailed protest ed, but the police official was obdurate.

London, July 15 The adherents of Boulanger who came over from France to take part with their chief in tho Loudon celebration of the fall of tbe Bastile, fo. the most part, express confidence in the peaceful solutions of the problems which the French people have before tbem.

Brisson, in which he declares that tbe people of France often become incapable of protecting them selves, instancing the feet that they once allowed the Republic to be destioyed and succumbed to the E npire. and in which he concluded that the majority should de fend the liberties of Frenchmen by force of arms.

It can be very easily surmised that in view of these and similar expressions on the part ot the Boulangists and the eqnal y determined tone of their enemies tbe outlook for Oc tober is ominous. Bouianger's assertion in his speech yesterdav that his aim was to work for the strengthening of tbe Re public is generally accepted as a ruse to divert the threatened alliance between the republicans and tbe supporters of tbe Count de Paris, an alliance which if con summated must prove a death blow to Boulangist ambitions. bastile centennial observance.
