Boulangftr On the Situation In Franco
ICoptrfyMS.S" liu Jitinu Oonlon llmnttt. ]
1'Ains ( via Havre ) , May 19. [ Now York
Herald Cable Special to the BnE. ]
I saw General Boulangor at the ministry of
war at 1 o'clock this afternoon. I asked the
general If ho had seen M. Do Freyclnct ,
whom President Grovy had summoned to
form a new cabinet. General Boiilaugor re
plied : "I have not seen Froyctnet since I
met him at a dinner that I gave three months
ago to several ambassadors. "
"I am told that Froyclnet docs not Intend
to reserve the portfolio of minister of war for
yon In the ministry lie Is now forming , Is
this so ? "
General Boulangersald : Perhaps It would
bo no harm to consider what my own Inten
tions are , If I accept what , b.y the way , has
not yet been offered me , I should do so only
upon my own conditions.
Correspondent May I ask what are the
conditions ?
General Houlangcr In the lirst place , I
will not consent to the withdrawal or modi
fication In any way of my bill for the reor
ganization of tlm army , nor of my plan for a
partial mobill/.atlon tlm coining autumn. I
will not consent to a reduction of tlm war
budget by n single centime. Then there are
certain men with whom 1 never will consent
to bo In the same cabinet with.
Correspondent Will you name the men
yon refer to ?
General Boulangor 1 would rather not. 1
only oay that tlmv are persons who hold too
cheaply zulllent bon marcho with tlm dig
nity of country , and who wish to put a
break on tlm awakening of tlm military spirit
of the nation.
Correspondent To arouse the military
spirits of Franco might at the present mo
ment be dangerous to peace.
General Boulanger I do not wish the
esprit milltalre to go too far nor In any way
assume an air of provocation , but I am con
vinced the esprit mllltalro is our best defense
It we are attacked , and I never will do any
thing to lesson or dim tlm esprit national.
I would rather break my sword.
Correspondent What will happen If you
do not form a part of the now ministry ?
General Uoulanger I will of course
retire quietly. It Is natural for n
general to wish to bo minister ot
war , but when he has been minister of war ,
as I have been , for the past seventeen
months , he will bo apt to become disheart
ened and tired out , I shall leave the array
prepared , organised , and able to measure Its
strength with any army that exists. Ger
many will not attack us , because Germany
knows that wo arc strong , and the Germans
are prudent. The French army does not for
a moment hope for any ally , for not a single
power In Europe has confidence In us on ac
count of our uncertain policy of Instablllto
do notre polltlquo. But wo need nobody. I
consider war as Inevitable. To bo sure , wo
might disarm and thereby make ereat econ
omies , but this would be doing exactly what
our neighbors want us to do , and they would
make us In a very short time pay very dearly
for It. Tlm treaty of Frankfort would then
bo renewed , the stipulations ot which will
cause Franco an annual loss of
200,000,000 or 800,000,000 francs. The
renunciation that they demand of
of us Is our dignity and our rights. This
treaty is a veritable tribute that Franco pays
Germany. lb It not more preferable , more
worthy for us to free ourselves from It ? I
pity those who do not understand this. In
any case 1 will never consent to abandon ono
lota of my military or political covlctlons.
So long as I am minister ot war Franco will
not submit to the slightest affront and I pre
fer to retire rather than be In a cablno t , the
members of which will not allow mo freedom
of action. I also assure you , said the gen
eral , in concluding tlm Interview , that 1 will
not accept any high command In the army ,
nor aspire to any olllce. 1 will wait jalt end
ral.
AN OM > STATESMAN'S VIEWS.
"What Is the situation in Europe at the
present moment ? "
"Head I ness on tlm part of Germany ,
anxiety on the part of thoughtful French
men , Indifference on the part of Austria ,
self-conceit on the part of Italy , expectancy
on the part of Russia , which has more to gain
In a general breakup than any other power. "
"What Is tlm policy of Bismarck ? "
"To conciliate Kussla and lot Russia go to
Constantinople ; to crush France absolutely
before the death of tlm present emperor.
But Bismarck hesitates to take the Initiative ,
which Is dangerous , not only because of lack
ot sanction of continental Europe , but
also because It would not bo popular through
out the German empire. "
"What does the czar want ? "
"Ho wants to go to Constantinople , "
"What would England like todo ? "
"Hold Egypt. "
"What does Italy want ? "
"Wants Trieste ; also to show that the war
spirit slumbering since 1&9 Is not dead. She
is ambitious , but silly and timid , for what
can bo sillier than building extravagant Iron
clads ? "
"What is the sicnlflcancoof General Houl-
anger holding aloft from the cabinet , being
formed by Froyclnet ? "
"It shows that Boulangnr thoroughly un
derstands Franco and knows exactly what
Frenchmen want , and makes himself more
popular. "
"What will happen next month ? "
* "Probably nothing. "
Such were the opinions ot an old statesman
I mot this evening on the boulevard.
THE THISTLE.
Her Tilnl Trip Yesterday Very
Satisfactory Ono.
Ifopi/rfuht IS57 l > u James Cordon
GAUUOCK-ON-CI.YDE , May 18. [ Now
York Herald Cable Special to the BEK.J
The Thistle left early this morning bound
for llarwlck anchorage , whore it expects to
meet the Irox , as already cabled. Her top
mast was housed and the mainsail , jib and
staysail set. She has uiado several little
trips of trial beside the one described for her
by cable. When she for the lirst time quitted
her moorings It was under tlm fourth jib ,
weather staysail , whole mainsail and jib-
headed topsail , with a light wind , veering
from northwest to north-northwest. As she
stood across the lirth to tlm Kllcrlggan shore
she appeared to go very smoothly. When
she stood dowu on a starboard tack and as
Holy Loch opened up and a nice breeze
cameso smoothly did she glide that the ,
spectators thought shojwas not doing more
than three or four knots , yet a really fair
speed and when the Thistle came to a stand
at Towered Falrllo , a classic spot for Scot-
tlsh.yachts , Old Fife people thronged the
banks to watch her. 'After stretching can
vas and looking after tlm llnal ad
justment ot ballast she returned
two tons of ballast being added. On the next
and more publlctrlal | the old cutter Vanduora
sailed tlm Clyde as a sort of running mate.
Both vessels stood out Of Gourock bay , the
wind being In the northwest. Thistle had
up the second jackyard topsail , the whole
mainsail and second jlbbooms. She
stood across the Firth , the Vanduora
leading , but as soon as the now
boat felt the wind , although It was very
light , she quickly overhauled the Vanduora ,
and bearing down on her , rapidly shot
through her lee. Sim then put about , repeatIng -
Ing tlm performance , and , afterwards , stood
down on the Clyde , leaving the Vanduora
hopelessly behind. There was nothing now
for some time but paltry airs ot wind , still
the slightest breath seemed to Impel the
Thistle forward. She stood down the Clyde
for Arlon , and entered by the North channel ,
then anchoied at Lamlosb , where she lay oil
ono night. Tno next morning it seemed as
If there was going to bo an extra breeze , but
the weather turned out very paltry and It was
not till some time after the Thlstlo left her
iioorings that a breeze cot up. It was ar-
angcd that she should run with some of the
achts In the lower reaches , and the Blood-
liound , a famous old craft , the Alcyone yawl
nd Mr. Coats' smart little cutter , Cruiser ,
ft Lamlosh along with the Thistle , which
inod out to mid-channel with a southwest-
rn wind , and evidently meant to get her
plnnaker set for a fair run up tlm river , The
Icyono kept close for a little while , as she
, vas getting better wind , but the Thlstlo
hen stood over to the Ayershlro coast , got
ut afterwards and went away very fast , In
'act , with a light wind and free , she goes
plendldly. Outside Cnmbroes she
ook In her spinnaker and stood
or Garrach head , every extra puff
jf wind makinc greater speed ,
ut going so smoothly that not oven n whlto
liread was seen about her stem. The wind
now came away from tlm northwest. She
, vas then far ahead of the other boats and
ay to , for n time , waiting thulr arrival ,
She afterwards stood up the Clyde with the
wind northwest and freshening , and as she
passed Cloch she was going like a racer. It
was soon rumored about that she was pass-
ng Ashton and Hearing tlm bay , and Its
ino sight , with her great stretch of canvas
moving along , answering the touch of tlm
liter When she rounded In the bay she
hot ahead like a racer , amid murmurs of an-
irobatlon from tlm spectators on shore. Mr.
tVatson seemed well pleased with her per-
'ormanco and so was Captain Barr. Said
Hioyachtman : "Sim Is certainly a smart
boat and runs like a demon. "
A Cossack Ceremony.

Carnceie and the Queen.
NnwYonic , May 19. [ Special Telegram
to the BEE. ] Andrew Carnegie's letter
about the queen's Jubilee celebration here
has aroused much Indignation among promi
nent British here. Erastus Wiman , who
will preside over the jubilee meet In ? , said
yesterday : "This letter has created a de
cided sensation In British cheles here.
Carnegie's conduct in so severely censuring
the motives of prominent citizens , his follow
Britishers , is considered , to say the
least , strange. Wo have no dcslro to
obtrude our British sentiments on tlm public
nor have we less love for republican Institu
tions than C.truoglo , as his ungracious re
fusal to participate , at least In spirit\vlth the
purpose of the meeting , would seem to Insin
uate. In my opinion no honorable and sen
sible American can take exception to the
small tribute of respect and veneration which
wo propose paying the queen , who for fifty
yeais has shown so inucn sympathy with the
people on this side of the water. I consider
Carnegie's talk of our promoting monarchial
sentiments sheer bosh , and his attempt to
air his own peculiar craze , 1 lind rather
amusing than otherwise. "
Eviction of Strikers.
WiLKEsnAiniE , PA. , 'Maj 19. [ Special
Telegram to the BEE. ] Swcntz & Co. , coal
operators at liazelbrook , who , on Saturday
ejected six of their striking employes , to-day
filed in the sheriff's office twelve moio suits
In ejectments , which tboy compel their em
ployes to sign , and are ready to Issue writs
and proceed with evictions at any moment.
The indignation which the publication of the
facts ot the evictions has caused , coupled
with tha energetic action of the Knights of
Labor.scemed to have caused the company to
hesitate and may prevent them from making
further evictions. A special mooting of as
sembly 1904 , Knights of Labor , was held last
evening , and resolutions were adopted con
demning the conduct of tlm tirm , in their
endeavor toenslave the people In their employ
and bring about a system of landlordism In
this free country that outrivals In Iniquity
even that of unhappy Ireland.

adoption of this measure and the action was
enthusiastically unanimous , but general dis
cussion sprang up when it was proposed that
the same card of principles be presented for

'hereto changed as follows : "I hereby

neant the discharge of every workman
who did not sign tlio required card , numerous
objections wcio raised , especially by the con
tracting plasterers , carnonteis and stone
cutters who are getting along peacefully with
their men and are expecting no trouble. All
objections were met with the reply that the
card contained nothing not guarnntccd by
the constitution of tlm United States and
that tlm country had got tired ot being
shackled bv labor unions. At length a tacit
understanding was reached that a pledge
should bo voted upon by delegates Individu
ally , they then to go to their associations and
urge its ratification. Tlm pledge was there
upon adopted unanimously. Neccssarycom-
mittees were appointed and an assessment of
25 cents per member was made to meet ex

occupy most of Camp Washington and the
parade grounds at the national drill next
week. Every available foot of space obtain
able thcso follows have secured for their
own business. The booths these traders
have erected make Southwest Washington
look like a great side sliow. On Fifteenth
street and Ohio avenue two dirty canvas
tents mark the advent of a side show , while
farther on is a circular wooden hoi so
arrangement which follows circuses. In fact
nearly every device under the sun with
which to catch tlio dimes of the pleasure
seeking cltl/.on Is already on hand to secure
the best place for catching the largest num
ber from the great multitude that will attend
the drill.
The drill ground Is now finished. An Im
mense undulating Held has been transformed
into a city of white tents. The tents are of
the regulation army kind , and give a living
space of 0x12. One of the general mess
rooms is completed , as Is also the kitchen ;
the roof of the second mess room , however ,
Is not yet on. The mess room and kitchen are
in form of the letter " 11 , " tlm kitchen being
In cioss strip. They rest snug up to tlm base
of the Washington monument , to tlm south
of which all tents will bo placed. Every
thing was dusty and hot to-day , and every
body about tlm camp was In n state of per
spiration and haste. By to-moriow night ,
however , everything , it is said , will bo in
order. The eight ranges for the kitchen
were all put In position to-day , on brick

WASHINGTON , May 19. [ Special to the
The failure of the British holders of
Virginia bonds to arrive at a satisfactory
settlement of tlm debt question will , In the
opinion of some of the best posted lawyers
here , lead to serious complications. There is
some excuse for the failure on the part of
the citizens of Virginia , as It is now
constituted , to pay the entire amount of the
debt something like SiiO.OO .OOO. When the
debt was contracted the state embraced also
the area now known as West Virginia. The
Virginians argue that In consequence of the
segregation ot so largo a portion of their ter
ritory the United States should assume a
portion of the debt at least , or the state of
West Virginia should bear Its portion of the
burden. But as the English holders of the
bonds have nothing to do with the political
divisions of tlm states they look to the origi
nal makers of the bonds for their pay. Now
thatthev have been unable to reach n settle
ment It Is probable that the English govern
ment will be called upon to take a
hand In the controversy. England Is prov
erbial of enforcing tlm monetary rights of
her citizens and there Is every reason to be
lieve that no exception will be made in this
Instance. There Is a considerable feeling in
congress that the general government should
assume a portion at least of the Virginia
debt and if England does take up the subject
tliiough her representative here It is morn
than piobable that this vexed question will
bo settled at last by tlm aid of the United
States authorities. There Is , however , no
disposition on the part of the people ot Vir
ginia to saddle the whole debt on the shoul
ders of the peoplu at Inrce. On the contrary
the people of tlm Old Dominion are leady
and willing to bear their equitable portion of
tlm burden , but they naturally think that
the state of West Virginia or the United
States should pay that portion of the obliga
tion which the former would have bad to pay
If the state had not been divided.

Land Fences to no Torn Down.
CHEYENNE , Wyo. , May 19. [ Special Tele
gram to tlm BEE.J The Associated press
llspatches from Washington announcing
that a company of cavalry would be sent here
to tear down all fences on government land
created very llttlo excitement. A troop of
colored cavalry Is daily expected to arrive
from Fort McKinney Wyoming. The cattle
men now Bay they recogni/.c , as they should
long ago have done , that it is much more to
their interest to have the fences down than
up. Many of them have lately been engaged
In tearing down their wire fences , and If tlm
colored troops undeitako the work It will bo
so much less expense for tlm stock men
to bear , Tlm only nu/.zline point is in re
gard to fences within tlm twcntv inilo rail
road limit. The railroad has sold nearly all
of Its landsand tlm alternate sections are
owned by the government. The result Is
that when u man purchases a big block of
railroad land ho has on hand a sort of real
estate checker board , tlm alternate sections
only of which ho really owns. It will thus bo
.seen that while maintaining tlm
line of fence on hl.s own land he necessarily
fences much land owned by tlm gov
ernment , which 1m can neither secure by
lease or purchase. His right to do so Is a
question that has never been settled in the
courts and presents some annoying features.
The local land officials here believe the order
applies to these lands ns well as to lands out
side tlm railroad limit. Although they have
received no ofllcial notification to that effect ,
It Is thought by these same officials that tlm
work of tearing down fences on tlm railroad
lands will be commenced at once , when the
.stockmen , if they desire , may secure injunc
tions and tlm matter thus formally brought
to the attention of the courts.

Jay Ac.iln on the Uncle.
Nr.w Yonic , May ! . When tlm Pa'clrii
railway commission got to work thli
morning Jay ( iould icsmncd tho. witness
stand and the tiuiutslllon was resumed by
Commissioner Anderson , Gould test I lied
that tlm provisions of tlm consolidation
mortgage trust \vai strictly compiled with by
the trustee bonds Issued as therein provided.
Gould was shown a transcript of tlm transac
tions In consolidated bonds furnished by the
Union I'acltic company , which would seem
to Indicate that the trustees had not followed
tlm trust. Gould said that was the Union
Paclllc'sacconnt , of which lie know nothing ;
that the true way to get at the matter was to
examine the accounts of tlm trustees kpt by
Mr. Calef , who would bo good enough
to make necessary explanation , "Tlm
trustees only charged the amounts named
In the mortgage. The accounts yon show
are of negotiations with tlm Union 1'ucilic ,
and they could get ihelr own prices. Ton
will find that tlm accounts with the trustees
will balance with the mortgage. " Anderson
said that ho could not enquire Intelligently
with reference to the commission of thcso
securities with the accounts kept by Calef.
Gould gave Scrgcant-at-Arms Walsh n note
directing Calef to appear before the com
mission with the books showing tlm Issue of
bonds. After quoting a great many flguiea
showing tlm times and details of the con
solidation Gould said : " 1 claim , if I worn a
creditor of tlm road like the goxoinmcnt , I
would not have hesitated In granting an ex
tension , of time In paying tha subsidy , even
though , the road was paying dividends , un
less tno government wanted to take the road
and run it. If it did.hero was a chance for It. "
Mr. Littler hero branched elf from the sub
ject ot Investigation to ask for his own Infor-
natlon Gould's opinion with reteienco to tlm
"liter-state commerce bill. Gould said :
There Is a great deal of uood and some bad
n it. I haven't asked tlm commission ferny
ny change yet. 1 should piclor to wait a
ear or two before giving any dcllnlto opln-
on. " In reply to Judge Dillon's
uestlon Gould said that tlm acqulsl-
lon of tlm Denver and South 1'arlc
oad was a political action on the part of the
Jnion Pacilic and bioiiifht him no great por-
onal profit. "Kansas Pacilic block jumped
ip rapidly as it leaked out I was Inlying
argely. I did It to protect my interest In tlm
Jnion Pacilic. and furnish a southern outlet
, iul not to effect tlm market. As soon as the
owa roads prorated we turned tlm tratllc
over the. southern road and made money
or the Union Pacilic. I made money by the
ransactlon of course. I want to explain to
he commission my motives In making these
arge purchases. 1 have nothing to conceal.
At present 1 have no Interest In tlm Union
'acltic. Wlill I was connected with It the
company built several branch lines to act as
'eedeis. No Individual made any prollt out
of tlm building of thcso roads tlie..company
mildlng them at cash cost. As regards tlm
Central Branch , Kansas Central and St. Joe
and western roads , 1 am willing to take
them off the Union Pacific's hands at tlio
price It paid for them. At the time of the
consolidation tlm Kansas Pacific was more
valuable property than tlm Union I'acillc.
[ t was not put into the consolidation at too
ilgh a value. Tlm securities of the govern
ment were Increased by the consolidation
uitl 1 cannot conceive how the consolidation
was In any way Injurious to the govern
ment's interests. One management was
needed and the paralleling and consequent
crippling ot tlm Union Pacilic was pre
vented. "
In reply to ex-Governor Patterson's ques-
: ion as to wliv he retired from tlm manage
ment ot the Union Pacilic , ( iould answered :
" 1 made up my mind that It would be better
0 have a large number Interested in the road
than to have the people say Jay Gould owns
t. 1 was also partly actuated by tlm nndes-
rablllty of having the ( government for n
partner. When tlm road was In tlm rut it
: ould have made any sort of bargain with the
( ovcrnmont When it had been converted
nto n paying -pioperty , thus Increas
ing the government's security , the
government stepped In and at
tacked It. It Is dilllcillt to predict Urn future
of the Union Pacilic , but 1 think tlm
government will have to make largo
concessions of both principal and Interest
to tlm road when tlm bonds became due. be
cause tlm road can never pay them. Tlio
woik of building tlm road was fearfully ex
pensive and a dangerous job. Whereas ,
western lines ate now beingbuilt tor from
Sl'J.OOO to § 13,000 a mile , this road paid as
hk'h as from 9r > to 810 each for ties and S'WO '
per ton for Iron rails. Tlm government has
been sulllclontly compensated for its loan to
the Union Pacilic by tlm benefit It has al
ready received from the sale ot lands , etc. In
my opinion the goveinmcnt should .settle
with tlm road on a fair basis , sav bv taking a
bond lor tlm principal sum 827,000,000 and
cancel the claim for back Interest.
1 would undeitako to negotiate such a
bond and secure itslminedlatecash payment.
1 say this as a man who has not a dollar's In
terest In tlm road. 1 never advanced money
to pay Union Pacilic dividends , though I
did loan $1.600,000 to pay back interest on
Kansas Pacllb bonds once on condition of n
rate of Inteiettt from 7 per cent to 0 per
cent. In return for this money 1 received
consolidated stock , "
Amos 11. Calef was recalled and produced
the Journal of tlm trustees of the Kansas Pa
cilic consolidated mortgage , which showed
but few transactions on exchange when the
pool and not mortgage rates controled.
Andeison asked it lie could explain why the
trustees' books show that S3btl'Jf : ! l of necur-
tied were exchanged at pool rates , when ho
stated yesterday that they weio exchanged
at mortgage commutation rate. Witness
could not , because ho undcistood that the
members ot dm pool were not piuluircd.
Transactions In which he was interested
were made with the Union Pacilic , they
securing the bonds and paying to Gould
through the medium of Tieasurcr Holmes.
With the conclusion ot Gould's testimony
the taking of evidence In this city for the
present closed. Tlm commission goes to
Boston next Saturday night , and will open
tlm investigation there Monday noon. Gov
ernor Ames and F. Gordon Dexter are
among those to bo examined there , Tlio
commission will probably go to Omaha about
