began his military career nt 10 years of ago ,
when tin was appointed a sub-nontenant In
the FlrRt rcKlmnnt of Algerian tlralllours.
From that time hla advance In his profession
was unusually rapid. In 18.17 ho took part In
HID ICabylo expedition. In I8.VJ ho was
woiindud nt Turblgn , and received the dec
oration of the Legion of Honor nftcr three
yearn'service. In lbil ( ho was with the ex
pedition In Cochin China. During the
Franco-Prussian war ho noted nt chief of
battalion In the Army of Paris , and ho was
wounded nt Chnmplgny. In ISM ) ho was
nppolntcd brigadier general. In which posi
tion ho began to show signs of a grunt talent
for organization. During the centennial cx-
[ 101 HI on In this country ho was sent by his
government to the United States as head of
the French commission. For n short Urn a ho
wns attached to the war ofllco ns director of
Infantry , which position ho quitto.l to proceed -
coed us general of division In Africa. In
twenty months ho returned to the war ofllco
us minister , January 7 , ISSi ) . During his
ton tire of previous olllcos ho hid shown great
70iil mid dolcrmlnntlon. Ilm activity hnd In
Homo Instances led to dispute. Such hnd
boon the result In Tunis of Ills arbitrary resolution
elution to exalt the military over the civil
nuthorltv. During his early carcor
ho had moreover been In
Hose relations with the extreme
loft In politics , and his appointment was re
garded as n concession to the power of M.
( Jlonionccau , Uonornl Doulnngor1 ! ) cousin.
Hltf republican sympathies were shown by
the energy with which ho urged forward the
expulsion of tno princes from Franco , though
It was nfterwnrds proved that ho had written
In almost fulsome terms of gratitude to the
cluod'Aumalo , tils superior oillcer , when pro-
moled brigadier general. It was from this
tlmo UmC the general's troubles began which
Hnally ended In--his cxpuhlon-froni'L-'rance. ' *
The story of his fall from his high position Is
n long ono and full of exciting episodes.
The general's position , flnanclb. and politi-
cnl tins boon getting blacker and blacker
recently. , Ho imd no hope lor the future and
tils remntnliii ; friends were few and becom
ing colder as the oncu famous general dropped
irtoro and more out of pub-
He notice. There Is no doubt
that the general wns conscious of thcso facts
mid that they preyed upon his mind.
Coupled to this wns the morbid love or in-
latnatlon which ho hnd "or his dead mistress.
The body of the dead man was taken to his
late residence In this city.
How ParlH Itcuotvctt tlio NOWH.
PA IMS' , Sept. ! IO. Tno sulcldo of General
lloulanger caused n great sensation In this
city nnd nothing else Is talked of. Members
of the Pntrtotle league nro talking of giving
him a mi bl I o funaral and they propose to
Inter his remains In Franco , it Is believed
this will lead to serious disturbances.
There nro , as usual In such cases , many
contradictory reports circulating In regard to
General Houlnnger'n ' behavior previous to his
eiili'ltlc. For Instance , it was said shortly
nftur his death became kiown : that
the general had in no way allowed
his friends to form any Idea ns to his inten
tions. This evening those who formed hU
en tourngo admit that the direct contrary was
the fact. They now say that recently ho has
frequently openly avowed n desire for death ,
nnii It Is oven added that the general has
several times ot late oven made attempts to
tnka his own life. The consequence has been
that he hits been watched as closely as poasl-
bin by the friends , who still remained loyal
to him ut the low nutcr of his fortunes.
Even the latter , however , appear to ha\u
finally grown tired of their task and to have
determined to reslu-n their positions as
guardians of the fallen leader's life.
Determined Upon Snluldu.
With this object In mind his friends In this
city recently warned the general's nuico nnd
the hitter , bur husband , the ex-minister of
war , who nt one time wns looked upon ns the
man to lend "La Hovnncho" enthusiasts , that
Hmitnngar was so despondent as to bo appar
ently determined to commit milchlo. This
nolce and her husband arrived some days agent
nt the general's hotel , De Una Montoler , nnd
so Impressed were they with his do-
monitor that ono of the first things
that they did was to cause all the weapons
found In his 'ipartments to bo tnkun nwuy
nnd hidden where ho could not get nt them ,
( lenornl lloiitnngor must liavo noticed this
which wns being taken to save
ils life nnd , unknown to his nolco and her
husband , ho must liavo managed to seouro
nnd hide from them the pistol with which he
eventually shot himself. Hvea the general's
vnlet , who Imd boon Instructed to use his ut
most endeavors to tlnd and obtain possession
of nny weapon the general might have about
him , icems to liavo biou cleverly uccuivcd In
this fatal instance.

uhnngo ha hud mndo In the hour of visiting
the tomb of Mmo. DoHonnomaln and she be
came greatly nlnrmod.
.Stopping In Urusicls nt the present tlmo Is
ono of Hnutnngor's most attached adherents.
Ills nnino Is Alfred Dutlns , and ho hud como
to this city from Paris upon receipt of n
letter from ( innenil lioulunger r.bout it week
airo , nnnoiini'liig that he Intondcd to
commit stilcldo nt nn early ditto. M. Dutlns
came to Itrusneli for the oxj > ress purpose of
endeavoring to pursuade the general to niter
his mind. M. I Hit Ins and his former political
lender had several long Interviews , during
which the former did his utmost to persuade
the general that ho should abandon such
morbid ideas and look nt matters In a brighter
light. Honlatiuor listened to nil that his
friend on the uhjcct nnd M. Dntlns thought
thai Ins arguments hnd caused the general to
re f nun from taking Ills own life.
The general's nloco knowing the object of
M. Dutln's visit to Hrussulls , and also being
nwnro that hn had considerable Inlluonco
over him. wont to M. Dutlns so soon as she
ticcamo convinced that she had good cause
for alarm. Mho communicated her fears to
the general's friend , and together they
started for the cemetery.
In the meantime General Houlangcr hna
loft the landau nt the gate of the cemetery
nnd walked slowly and calmly to the tomb of
Mme Bonnomalno. Ho rotnalnod for some
tlmo In deep thought and was afterwards
seen to bo slowly waUIng around the cemetery -
tery still thinking deeply.
Sped the SIc.sseiiKcr of Death.
Contrary to the first reports received of the
affair , tlio general must have walked about
the cemetery for nearly an hour and a half
before ho returned to Mmo. Domicmaino's
tomb. All reports agree in thu statement
that so soon ns the general readied the tomb
the second time ho Immediately placed the
pistol to hl head and shot himself. The re
port of the revolver was heard by the coach
man who was driving the general's landau
and the valet who had accompanied the sui-
cldo to the cemetery. They both rusncd to
Mine. Uouncmalno's tomb und then ) found
thu general quite dead , lying across tlio
grave. Death must have boon Instantaneous.
The weapon which Boulniiger used to de
stroy himself wai a revolver of Inrco calloer.
so it is all tbo more extraordinary that it
should have escaped the vigilance of his
valet , relatives nnd friends. The deaa man
had this weapon tightly grasped In his right
bund and It wns scon that tno bullet had
entered the genojnl's ' head near the right
temple , had passed through tils head nud loft
it by the left tomplo.
Some workmen who were employed In the
cemetery and who had also been attracted to
the snot by the report of the revolver noti
fied the inspector In charge of the cemetery.
The latter placed himself In communication
with the police who were soon upon the iiot
nnd took chat-go of the remains.
Too Lute to Prevent the Suicide.
As the police were bearing the general's
body from the tomb of his mistress , with the
Intention of placing It in the landau for con
veyance to Brussels , the aoad man's nelcc ,
accompanied by M. Dutlns , reached tno
cemetery. The nolco fainted upon hearing
the news nnd M. Dutlns' grief nl being too
late to save the llfo of his friend was exces
sive.
sive.Tho
The body of Boulangor was then stretched
out in the landau , the face covered with n
white handkerchief. The police in charge
caused those of the general's friends who
wore present to confirm the statements as to
his identity , and then permitted tbo body to
be conveyed to police headquarters , where ,
after another formality had been compiled
with , the authorities permitted the body to
bo convoyed to the general's late residence ,
The body now lies in the general's bod-
.

parocfHor burihlJ'but.T'is onlyvvlowed by
intimate friends of the family. The latter , It
should bo said , unanimously doslro that the
funeral should bo of the most simple order.
Some of the general's political friends nro in
favof of a political demonstration.
The corpse , as this dispatch Is tent , reposes
upon a table draped' with black cloth. The
remains are cmd in n blnck frock coat , uptm
the breast of which are several decorations ,
notably the cross of the Legion of Honor ,

wounded in 1S. > 9 at the LJsbigo In Algeria ,
when a lieutenant with only three years'
service In the army. The wounds in the gen-
oral's temples , caused by the fatal snot ,
liavo boon hidden by pieces of broad white
silk ribbon so placed on the head ns to almost
completely conceal the cause of death. The
general's features are placid and upon thorn
there Is not a trace , except the dimly soon
white ribbon of Douhmgcr's sad ending

In splto of repeated Inquiries made by
press reptesentatives upon the subject , the
relatives of General Uouhingcr persistently
decline to furnish tno public with nny doll-
nito information us to the written declara
tions which bo has loft behind him. Vet it
Is known that the dead man prepared sev
eral documents for publication , hi view of
his si.ddon dcatti , and that ho had written
und placed oa hU desk n number of tele
grams announcing his sulcldo , which ho
Intended should bo sent to the persons to
whom they were addressed as soon as the
tleed had been committed. All the property
and documents ot General Houlangor have
been placed In sealed receptacles by the mag
istrates.
Houlangor loft a will ami political testa
ment in his dc k. It U stated that thu latter
declares uushukcn contldonco in his party ,
enjoins his friends to prosecute the great
alma ho always had in view , and ascribes his
own death solely to Inconsolable grief over
the loss of Mmo. DoBonuomnln.
The funeral of the general will probable
take place on Sundav afternoon.
The general's mother , aged SO , is still firm

Mini' . Dolionuomain wns an inseparable
companion of the general during bis oxlle In

and acted always as the acknowledged mis

The general rose nt 11 o'clock this morning
and told his valet that It any person called to
toll hint to call tomorrow. In the cemetery
liouhingcr affected coolness , which disarmed
the suspicion of M. Dutin. The latter finally
romanced that It was tlmo to return for

main nl * the tomb a few minutes alone , M.
Dutin withdrew , only to hear a shot a inln-
ute later.
Shortly after Mmo. Dollonnomain's death

POXCA , Nob. , Sept. no. ( Special Telegram
to Tim Bin.J : A bold attempt was mndo
last night to rob tbo Pioneer bankofDlxon

eTectl ( g nn cntrnnco by raising the front
window with n crowbar , entered tho.bulld-
Ing and went to the room of Clmrlo.i Crow ,
who sloops hi the bank , and covering him
with revolvers , commanded sHonco. Quo of
the burglars conllned him to the bed whllo
the others ransacked the promises.
When the burelaiM were convmcod that
the safe was protcctoa by u tlmo lock they
abandoned the Idea ef penetrating It. No
money was obtnlnod except $4 or ? 5 token
from Mr. Crow's pockets , llo was ques
tioned ns to the character ot the safes of the
other banks and the stores of the town.
The answers were so discouraging that
Crow was handled rather roughly and re
ceived a heavy blow on the head.
After the pillagers discovered that tholr
efforts were fruitless they gagged Crow and
tied him to the bed aud departed. In that
condition ho remained struggling until about
4 o'clock , by which tlmo ho had managed to
chow some of the ropes upart , thus extricat
ing hinibolf.
ilo Immediately announced the affair , but
no trace was found of the perpetrators. This
morning the hand car at the depot was miss

attempted the burelary took It. The c-tr was
found at Jackson , where It U reported a team
was stolen some time during the night. Mr.
Crow could not Identify the robbers and no
effort has been mauo to overtake them. There
was considerable stir on tlio streets this
morning over the matter and crowds gathered
about the bank , oagcrly seeking the latest

New YOIIK , Sapt. HO. The activity among
the ofllcers nt the navy yard the command-
nuts of the ships ycstorJny suggested there
was something unusual going on , but it was
denied that any spcclllc Instructions for
greater expedition In the rop.tlrs of the
vessels hnd been received from Wiiilmiglon.
Dispatches were received from the Navy do-
partmcnt , however , that the repairs to ves
sels must bo pushed without delay. Assistant
Secretary of the Navy J. Ut.ssoll Soloy was
an early visitor ut the yard , and ho was
closeted for some tlmo with the commandant ,
Captain Henry Krbon , Hear Admirals Han-
r.rolt and Ghornrdl , commandant of the
North Atlantic squadron ; Captain G. C.
Elltz , commandant of the crulsoi * Boston ,
and the two or three other ofllcers. Chief
Naval Constructor Theodore I ) . Wilson of
Maryland , who inspected the work on the
now vessels building at the yard on Monday ,
was also at the yard yesterday and took part
In the consultation. Ho also vlsltod the ves
sels in commission to inform himself ot the
work necessary to bo done before they should
goto son. It was said that this hud no special
significance , but that the consultation waste
to learn the exact condition of each vessel at
the yard.
An ofllcor attached to the Now Vorlrtiaval
station , speaking yesterday of the condition
of the Pacific squadron at this tlmo , said :
"If our relations In Chill should become so
strained as to make It advisable to liavo a
naval force there , the department might be
embarrassed for a tlmo for available ships.
There are now seven shins detailed to the
Pacific squadron. The now eruisor Balti
more , the flagship of Hear Admiral George
Brown , Is at Valparaiso ; the new cruiser
San Francisco arrived nt Payta , Peru , a few
days ago on her way to San Francisco ; tno
Yorktown , n new crulsnr of the third class ,
is at this navv yard : an old wooden steam
sloop-of-war Is on her way to Honolulu ; the
old wooden steam war vessel Iroquois Is nt
Samoa ; tbo Mohican , of the Iroquois class ,
Is on her way from Bohrlngsoa to San Fran
cisco , nnd the iron gunboat Marion has boon
ordered to go from Ounulasua to China.
The Chicago , the flagship of the squadron
of evolution , wont out for target
practice In Unrdlnor's Day on Saturday
and Is then to go to New Lo'ndon. She is
really available If it Is deemed necessary to
send her to Chill and could roach there In
about forty-live clays. The 'cruiser Newark ,
of the same class as the Chicago , could get to
Chill in about ton days. She has boon se
lected as flagship of the South Atlantic
squadron. The Atlanta U with the Chicago ,
and the Bonnlngton , now at the navy yard
and belonging to the squadron of evolution ,
could bo sent to the south on five days' no
tice. So there nro several vessels that are
really available In case of nn emergency. The
vessels of the North Atlantic squadron
would bo enough to keep on tbo North At
lantic coast and are now boro. They are the
Philadelphia , Boston , Concord and
Jvcarsago. But I am of the opinion that there
'I3'llors0'tiiueu > lriithlslchlll'sc5roras'tho1"fir3t
reports would scnm to Indicate. "
During the afternoon Commodore Ramsey
was In consultation with Secretary Tracoy
nnd the result , as announced later In the day ,
was an order for the cruiser San Francisco ,
then nt Pnyta , Peru , to proceed Immediately
to Unllno and thcucc to Valparaiso. If neces
sary , further instructions to govern the
course of the vessel when she arrived ar , Val
paraiso will be sent to her when she touches
nt Citllno.
Secretary Tracoy declined absolutely to
give his reasons for sending the ship back to
Chill and refuses to discuss the case.
Acting" Secrotnry Whnrton wns besought
to make n statement of the actual facts In
the present complications , or at least to give
to the public some assurance that the situ
ation is not ns critical as it is represented to
bo in some publications. The acting secre
tary , however , did not feel at liberty to say
ono word upon the subject. Still there is
reason to believe that no further overt acts
have been committed by tno Chilian junta
and that the return of the San Francisco to
Chill is simply In pursuance of the intention
formed several days ago to give moral effect
to Minister IScnn's position by the presence
of Admiral Brown und lib flagship at Val
paraiso.

Sept. ! ! 0. | By Moxlcau Cable to the Herald
Special to Tins Uun.l f. nm unable to send
you further particulars of Iho trouble be
tween the authorities at Santiago nnd Minister -
tor Egan. It appears that'tho American lega
tion and its vicinity were watched by the
police during nil of last wook. On lust Fri
day three Amorlcans , ns I cabled , were
placed under arrest , i'licir name are Hill-
maun , Madden and Hayprast. They had vls
ltod Mr. Kgan nt the legation nnd were on
their way back when taken into custody.
Messrs. Hillmann and Madden made a bus
iness call. Mr. Hayprast had gone to the
legation to obtain letters , -All three wore
locked up. Mr , Hayprast was koin in prison
for some hours. Messrs. Hillmann and
Madden were taken to the Intoiuioncla
nnd detained for a short tlmo when they
were released. In addition to this , two of
Minister Egan's servants were thrown into
prison und kept there for two days , being
released on Saturday. I understand that
there has boon nn active exchange of cables
between Minister Egan nnd the United
States slnco the commission ot those un
friendly acts.
The vigorous protest of the American
minister caused the Junta to withdraw its
police. Commodore Ackioy of the Baltimore
which still lies in the harbor of Valparaiso ,
is now nt Santiago in conference with Min
ister Kuan. I have no menus nt present of
finding out the result of their moot-
Ing. Now that tbo trouble
between the Junta nnd the United States
minister has quieted down and a chance Is
afforded of reviewing the events of the past
few days , it is my Impartial criticism that the
actions of which Minister Egan has hud rea
son to complain were taken by Irresponsible
oftlcluls. There does not appear to liavo been
any sanction by the junta's cabinet of the police -
lice espionage. On whut I deem the bust of
authority , it Is reported that n majority of the
cabinet discountenanced the proceedings ana
uro desirous that the utmost peace should
prevail lhroughut the country , so as to re
gain all of Chill's former prestige. For this
reason they uro avoiding as far ns in their
power , all troubles with outsldo nations.
In Interviews with n number of prominent
merchants hero , native and foreign , I
learn that the bulu of English money In.
vested In Chili Is In Turnpaca nitrate beds ,
If the slightest gratitude exists in the
Chilian congrossloimlUts for the marked
sympathy und support of the English peoplu
In this country during tha war , British In

safe. His not likely that nny moro money

Ctjvor Mnxiro , Sopt. HO. A dispatch by
courier lo Newton on the frontier , from Gua
temala nnd having diplomatic origin , fully
confirms the reported rioting In Guatemala
on September 15. It says thnt Manuel Mon-
tufar , the son of the former Guatemalan min
ister to Washington nnd a strong partisan of
Barillas , was addressing tlio mujtitudo on
September 15 , which Is Independence day ,
when 8omo of Ills remarks wcro hissed by the
opposition nnd n struggle commenced for the
possession of the platform. It was finally
held by the rioters nnd the mob xvas aug
mented In n umbers nnd threatened the pal
ace. Artillery was brought into play nnd
soon cleared the main plaza. The main
streets were cleared by the Itifnntrv , but tlio
rioters held ninny allevs nnd buildings.
Throughout the night and the following two
days there were small mobs lu various parts
of the city which were promptly dispersed
by the military nnd numerous arrests were
made. Several persons wcro killed , but the
number Is not given. The lois of life seems
to have been almost entirely on the part of
the mob.
The mob wns serious , but the -army was
faithful and the govermout wns easily victor
ious. Many rumors of the riot are Hying
about here , but all of them are much exag
gerated. There are Hkowlso rumors of up
risings In other parts of Guatemala , but they
seem without foundation. It Is believed hero
that If the malcontents can bo induced to nso
against the government and hold out for a
few days , tboy will bo reinforced as belliger
ents mm aided by Salvador. A well informed
Central American said yestcrdav that LJnril-
las' enemies , both domestic nnd foreign , wcro
discontented nnd between them n general
Central American war will soon bo precipi
tated.
It is rumored in Guatemala that Toledo ,
President Barrilla's private secretary , who
loft that city a few days ago on a government
mission , wns assassinated while en route , as
nothing has been heard of him.

IsHimnco of Two Xow "Hold Your
Wheat" CircMilat'H.
ST. PAUIMinn. . , Sept. HO. Two moro
wheat "Hold Your Crop" circulars are out.
The first is from Ignatius Donnelly , presi
dent of the Minnesota alliance , who urges
farmers to hold their wheat for thirty days
longer. In It ho snys :
I think every Intelligent man In Minnesota
knows that , wheat Is .sulllni : far below Its
actual value , but the alliance , as un organiza
tion , has not taken Iho responsibility of glv-
Inc any advice upon tlio subject , bolliivlnir It
to bo outsldo of tliolr fiinetlon to do so and a
hazardous experiment lo inal > o In , iii nllluliil
\viiy. Hut It is very clear th.it If not a busliol
of wheat Is sold In Minnesota by the fanners
durliiK the noxl thirty days that tlio wheat
pits of Chicago. Now York and London would
bo full of dead "hears" and the farmers would
K t for tholr wheat crop what it Is really
worth.
fc'oll potatoes , barley , rye anything else
stand oil" your urodltors for n time , keep on
ploughing but don't sell any wheat for n
month and see what will bo the result. I
don't say to you tlu t wheat will go to tl.50 or
f..lWn. iHislioluiior.do I aslc you to hold your
ciop until next xprlnz ; "nor do I speak In
behalf ot the state farmers alliance , but In mv
individual capacity. I express my belkit Hint
the fanners are bcliiK robbed ot one-fourth
the value of their product , and that they
should totally snip nil sales of wheat for a.
tlmo and then let it out slowly ; us not to
break down the market ,
The State will como out on Friday with n
circular. The contents of the circular nro
much the snmo ns that of the last one. This
ono simply takes up the whaat situation
where tlio other ono loft off. The crops of
the ton years from 1SSU to IS'.IO are taken as
the basis of computation and the circular
holds that there is danger of exporting too
much wheat. During the ten years in quos.
lion , It is claimed , wo raised I-IU7OOUOUO
bushels of wheat. Of this amount liS- (
0K ( ) bushels were exported and a.'iJJU.OOO.OUO
were consumed nt home. The nvorago popu
lation during those ton years was . " > 0,0)0uUO ( )
people. Wo have now 01,000,000 people and
will consume IHW.OOO.OOO bushels , leaving for
export HIl.OOO.OOO bushels. In other words ,
we raise ( W.OOO.OOO bushels moro than the
average of those ton years but , vo consume
4(5,000,000 ( bushels more , leaving only 1(5,000- (
000 moro for export.
The circular continues to say : Wo liavo
now exported 50,000,000 bushels of our now
crop and have 0:1,000,000 : to iiuaro , for 50,000-
000 of which contracts have boon made ut
nrosent. Wo export at the rnto of (1,000,000 (
bushels per week. Our surplus will bo ex
hausted If wo keen this up until Christmas.
If wo sell our wheat to Kuropo cheap we will
have extraordinary high wheat pncos here
with a moderate boom , or wo will have mod-
oratelv high prices with an extraordinary
boom if we hoid our wheat for high prices
now. If wo succeed In raising tlio price of
cereals to the point the situation Justifies the
boom In business will bo unprecedented and
the worklngmcn will have the benefit of it
lllto everyone else.
The circular then nrguos that higher prices
for wheat do not necessarily mean moro
expensive bread.

wcro crushed together like cardboard.
William Maxwell of Moadville , traveling

riding in the passenger onglnu , had started
bnclc over the tender Just before the collision.
He was caught between the baggage car nud

The shrieks of the woman and children , who
were wedged In close to tlio burning timbers
seemed to bo in the worst part of the wreck.
Ascoro of men were soon cutting a way
through the debris. Mrs. Alice Sodmvlck ,
with both legs broken , lay close to the reil
hot stove , pushing against It Avlth nil her
might to keep it from crushing nnd burning
