Vivo Iloiilnngnr. t JAW t > U Jcrnw Gorrliil Tlfnnrtt , ] 1'AiiiH ( via Havre ) , July 8 , [ New York Herald Cable-Special to the HIK. : | General Doulanger to-day had a veritable ovation. He passed the afternoon lu his room , No. 2-18 Hotel du Louvre , writing letters and arranging his private affairs before leaving Paris for Clermont Ferrnnt to take command of the Thirteenth army corps. As early as half past 0 crowds gathered In front of the hotel shouting "Vivo Uoulanger , Vivo Honl- anger , " and slnidne tbo famous air , "Kn lllvenant do la Uevue. " At 7:15 : the general , accompanied by two stalf officers , stepped Into an open cab and drove to the Garo do Lyon. The cheerlnc was tremendous. The general , who was dressed In a Dlack cutaway coat , dark brown trousers , white and black checked cravat , a new shlnv stovepipe hat , bowed to the crowd every few seconds. Aa the cab , which was , by the way , a rather shabby one and bore the number 2.19S , reached the Hotel de Vllle , a young cavrocho , In a white blouse , Jumped up behind , waved a red paper banner bearing the words , " 11 Hov 111 Kevlendra. " shouted "Vive Houlanger. " The crowds at the corners of the streets sang the Marseillaise and a few cries of "A bas Grovy ; a baa les Prusslons" wcro heard. When the cab reached the Hare de Lyons It was accompanied by over a thousand of the general's zealous admirers , half a dozen of whom wcro perched on the axles and behind the cab like crows. The general himself looked as If bored to death. At 8 o'clock the cab pulled up at the enhance to the sta tion , the general Jumped out and , almost mobbed by the populace , managed to get through the passage outsldo the platform where an ordinary light stoker express train was awaiting him. Hut at this moment one of the most 10- markablo scenes that ever occurred tn Paris took place. 1 stood on the plattorm of the rear carriage reserved for the general. A strange buzzing and rumbling nolso like that of an earthquake was heard. Then came a crash of falling railings , and In an instant a perfect wave of humanity burst Into tlio vast stationwearing red ribbons with the motto " 11 Hevlendra. " A hundred popular prints ot the idolized warrior In full war paint moved In and among the crowds. I noticed nil sorts of people , from solid bank ing cleiks to tbo hyena-like faces of an archists from Uellcvlllo. Show keepers and their wives or mlsstresses were theio , na were hundreds of noisy , shrill-voiced stud ents from the Latin quaiter. Nearly all wore white btraw hats , and as they swarmed Into the station through the doors and windows dews , seemed like the Incoming of a flood tldo of foam-crostcd waves. The 8 o'clock express for Genoa managed to get safely out of tha station , but In less than ton minuted 5,000 people had taken com plete possession ot everything. Ono of the most dangerous lircbrands of Europe , Paul do Koulcdo , dressed lu a Ionic groy coat , stovepipe bat reddish Henri Quatrc , had fierce , glilleilng eyes , made a tiger-llko bound train a pile of trunks on thn platform and landed on the steps of lioulangcr's compartment Tricolor flags were waved nnd Do llouledo pronounced ono of his most impassioned speeches , which was received with deafening cheers , lint I must say that although I stood within twelve jardg of him , the only words of his oration I could catch wore "France , " "the Ficnch army , " "tho lost princes , " and "Vivo Uoutaugor. " The crowd then sang the Marsolllase nnd shouted "Vivo la Llglro. " Boulauger ! drew back Into tlio further corner of his compartment. The sweat rolled down his face and ho looked tired out and Intensely bored. The air was perfectly stilling. Ten policemen tried to keep the crowd from Jamming themselves n to the windows of the comnartmcnt. Hun- difdH of youngsters clnmberea up , heaven only knows how , on top of the train nnd began dancing the can-can and shouting and nhrickluK like wild Indians. The people seemed to spilng up from the erotind. Men and women got jammed between the carriages , and frantic students took possession of the locomotive , decked nil out with flags and laurel wreathes , and gummed Into its crlm Iron Bides portraits ot lloulangor , surmounted by the watch word " 11 Kovlludm. " An oUh- teen-year-olil gauorocha with handsome Gypsy features made tremendous lilts by climbing up the smokestack , standing on ono leg , then turning a summersault nnd landing on top ot tbo boiler. Thou ho jumped up , pulled a huge pleco of chalk from his pocket and wrote on the locomotive the following inscription : "Vivo Buulan- ier : ; a bas Gievy ; vlvl da guerra ; n bas les Prusslon , a bas les ministers , a bas Forron ; a baa Kerry ; n baa lo government" At leabt two hundred people were wedged on the track In front ol the locomotive , that stood pulling away Its waste steam and ready to stait off. Hut thl would ha\e Imolved the sacrifice ot human llfo far exceeding an > thlu < achieved by tha Juggernaut car. It was now half past U , General lioulangcr and his staff were nearly sullocated. The windows of tlio compart me tit were chocked up by dozens ol pairs of Ions dangling from th < roof ot the carriage. Shouts resounded on all hides , "Don't let him leave Paris , " nnd an attempt was made to tear up the ralli In front of the locomotive. The situation seemed desucrate. Scores of anarchist * cried , "AlElysee , a bns Grevy. " General Uou- Inncer poked hU head , streaming with sweat out of the window , aua motioned with hh liund for the crowd to remain silent A hap pily inspired band of .students nt this mo ment turned thn ugly threats Into laiightei by appearing with large glass pitchers o beer , which they , after n frantic charge managed to bear to the door of UoulatigerV compartment. The general smiled am emptied ono pitcher ot beer n a single draught His staff ofllcrn Rlworbed the contents of the other pitchers It was now a quvter to 10 and the trail Reomea no uonrer getting under way than I did an hour and a quarter ago. Suddonl ) General Uoulanzcr put his head out of tlu window again and Implored the crowd to tw silent Then his Rtaft officer , with a loud stirring , martial voice , shout * ! , "In the In terests of Franco and In the interests ot tin republic , will you lot ( J uii-rM licit langer get out of hi ) { rsla am KCt Into A special carrU'ju furthc , forward. " The , crowds shouted "jes , yes , we will. " In an Instant the gcnonl. fol lowed by tils staff , got cut of his cotupart uient and was literally carried by the eiowdj tntilumph to another carriage , to whtu ! ipeclat loromotye ! was attached alwit i luudied yards culsldo tliot KUtiau tul a five minutes before 10 the general's carriage was able to start. The scene was perfectly Indlscrlbablo. Thousands of voices sang the Marselllals , alternated witli "Ulvenant do la llovuo. " Do/ens of people were Injured by being jammed Into trains and Iron parts. Hundreds of luckless travelers and distracted females sat on their baggage In utter despair. The crowd held for two hours complete possession of the cntiro sta tion. At 10 o'clock the mob broke up , and although the leaders waved flags and shouted "Down with the ministry , " "Down with Grevy , " "To thu Elysee palace , " It gradually melted away enrouto toward the Latin qutvr- tler and Belleville , I afterwards drove pist the Elysee palace , President Grcvv's residence , which is luckily about four miles distant from Garo do Lyons. 1 found all quiet the lights out , but the guards doubled. The same wise precaution of thu German was taken In the neighborhood man embassy. _ _ I'ASSSJKI ) THU TI11U1) nKADlXG. The Crimes Illll Goes ThrouKh By a IJlR Mujorlty. Loxnox , July 8. Lord Hartlnston In the commons this aftcinoon , continuing Uio do- uato on tlio Irish crimes bill , said ho recog nized that eveiy portion of the majority bup- porting the measure must bear Us full onus of responsibility for what had been done. So long as the liberal-unionists weru sup ported by the thinking and cultured classes of England they would continue wltli conll- denco in their course. "For , " said ho , "surely the masses cannot have a better knowledge than tlm educated classes ot the relations between England and Ireland. " John Ulllon said ho was prepared to loyally acknowledge the duty of the Irish member to the empire , but ho held their lirst duty was to the welfare and liberty of the Irish people. Ills party represented the vast , overwhelm- liu majority of people whose fortune the bill affected , and those who contended that the bill of the majority ought to prevail ought not to assist in passintr the measure. The opinion of no civilized country in the woild was of moro value to Intelligent Englishmen than that of America. It was absurd to assert that line-tenths ot the educated people of Amer- -Ca were not on the side of Ireland. Un questionably the whole American press was on their side. Ho maintained thatO'Urion's ulsslon had been a conspicuous success both n the United States and Canada. Sir William Vernon Harcourt criticized the bill at length and in conclusion said tliat every town nnd village in the kluirdom should understand that the government ro- tused to Irish tenants that protection from an old oppression , against combinations which they granted trades unions. Goschen then rose to speak , whereupon the Parnellites left the house in a body. ( ioschen t > ald the Kovornmont's contention was , not that the bill was justified be cause otncis as diastic had been passed , but that It was necessary. Goscher denied that the literature ot the civ ilized world condemned the government's policy. The Ameiicans In their strungle lor the maintenance of the union were not in- luoncod by thu opinions of English states- inon.andit the Ameiican opinion was against continuance of thu union ot England and Irelaud , which ho did not believe the unionists would not bo influenced by that opiniou in their defenses of so treat a clause. Kedinond concluded the debate amid signs of impatience. At the eonslusion of the debate the bill passed the thlid reading 319 to ! 2 < W. 1 ho announcement of the vote was received with cheers and counter cheers. MIC. DLAIXIJ SNUCBKU. The Distinguished American Shut Out of a Keccption. Emxtiuno , July 8. The freedom of the city was conferred upon Andrew Catnegle to-day In recognition of his gift to the city ot 5250,000 with which to provide n public li brary. The ceremony took place In the coun cil chamber. James G. Blalno was invited to bo present , and went to the city hall and at tempted to make h's ' way Into the chamber , but was unable to do so on account of the crowds. Tlicro is a great deal of iudUuatiou rnanl- foskullover the failure ot Blalno to obtain ad mission to thu council chamber to-day during the presenattlon of tbo freedom of the city to Carnegie. Now that it Is known It appeals that the oc currence was biought about by official lack ottaet. Illaino and Senator Halo arrived halt and hour late. All the approaches to tlio council chamber were crowded anil the visitors had a hard time reaching the cham ber door. When they got there they found they were without tickets. The Janitor did not know them and would not pr.ss them. Cainegie was at the tlmo dellveinu' ills ad- dross. Ulaluosent n messenger to the pio- vest stating the situation. The provost waited until Carnegie finished his address before sending orders for tlio admission of tbo distinguished Americans , lly this time both Blaine and Halo became disgusted and retired. Carnegie. , when ho learned what had happened , became \ery anury and would scarcely listen to the provost'a apologies. The workmen ot this city to-night presented Carneu'lo with an address welcoming him to Edinburgh and thanking him for hisuiftof the library to them. Blaine and Mis. Car- were present.

SENSATION IN WASHINGTON , A Trusted Official In tbo Treasury De partment Goes Wrong , A DEEP SCHEME TO DEFRAUD. Oscar J. Uttivcy Forces I'niiers to Swindle the Government Out of Thonsamls or Dollars Contests For Henntorliit Scats. A Clerk's Crookedness. WASHI.NOTON , July 8. Something of a ensatlon was created In the treasury do- lartmont this afternoon by the discovery hat a trusted olllclal In the department has > ecn cuilty of a systematic attempt to do- raud the government. The ollicer was ar- ested at Wllkes-barrc , Pa. , yesterday after- iLon. as ho was obout to take thu train for Washington , and his dismissal from the scr- Ice VNas ordered by Secretary Falrclilld tills afternoon. His name is Oscar J. Harvey , and ho has been employed in the department incoJune , 1S35 , when he was appointed chief of thu horse claims division of tlio third auditor's olllce. It was while ho held this lobltion tliat ho perpetrated the frauds with vlilch ho Is now charged. On thoM M of Juno last ho was trans- erred to the head of a division n the second comptroller's ollleo ; a division which has charge of claims of tlm same na- lire as those In the division which he had iibt left. Austin 11. Drown , of Indiana- polls , succeeded Harvey as chief of horbo claims , and soon atter ho took charge ha dis covered the frauds of which his predecessor tad been cuilty. These consisted of the lassako of forty-three tiiuiduletit claims for lorses , aggregating 59,200 , and the prepara- tian ot money additional cases of n .similar nature , which were under consideration In he olllce. In moat cases the claims are for lorscs lost during the late war ind are presented in the rmmo of officers ot I'ennovlvanla and New Jersev regiments. All of these cases ap- leaied to have been prosecuted by "W.V. . IVynti , " lifbt of I'liiladelphia , and then of Washington , and the services ot "J. U. Man- lord , " notary public , In Philadelphia , ivere called into requisition in Connection with the necessary allidavits. I'ho work Involved the stealing of numerous Incriminating papers from thoiiles of the department. In thirtun claims It was found that the signatures , Involving tlio names ot thlrty-elulit ollleers , were forgeries , jubscquently it was found that the second auditors name lias been forged in thu cer- ilieates received from tliat oftlce , an.t also that nouo of the Pennsylvania anil Now Jersey cases In \ \ liicliVvnn was attorney were entered on tlio records of that ollice. The claims which bad been allowed were then overhauled , and In almost every in stance it was found that the second auditors certificate as to the slgnatuies had been ab stracted together with other papers. Tlio stamp of the mall room , In the third auditor's ofllce , and tlio stamp ot the horse claims di vision had been torccd and the dutes ar ranged so as to bring them within tlio limita tion fixed lor tlio tilinc of tliChU claims. The htamp of the quartermaster general's otlico was also forged. Drafts were reeularlv issued , and an examination of such as had been returned as paid shows that Harvey and Wynn are one and tlio same per son , and that although the drafts weie drawn in tavor of the claimants , the money , with ono or two exceptions , went directly to Harvey or some ot Ills inlatlves. He had se- cuied their payment by forging the signa ture of the payee and then endorslni : the draft witti Ills own name. Monfoit , the Philadel phia notary public , like Wynn , tlio attorney , was found 10 be a myth. Most of the nota ries and persons named In the claims are un known to tlio department. In addition to the forty-tnreo cases passed there have been ISO similar cases adjusted aegregatlng ? ! .0,000 , and there are still pending and unadjusted sixty-eight cases amounting to 510,000 , making a total ot 101 fraudulent cases which niUht eventually have been paid but for this discovery. Har vey was biought to this city by officers of the secret service who had kept him under sur- veilanco since lie was hrst .suspected. Ho asked to sco tbu secretary , and when ho was informed of the evidence acalnst him , broke down completely ami unilu a lull confession of his guilt. ScninUnnnl Contcitq. WAPUINOTO.V , July 8. [ Special Telegram to the UIE.J : The reports that Senator Hearst , of California , Is not to bo allowed tn take ills seat without a contest , together with the fact that there will bo a strngu'lo also be fore the West Virginia and Indiana sena- torships are settled , causes uneasiness among the demociatlc politicians , who had counted on celling Hictdleberger , of Virginia , tci abandon the lebublican side of the chamber. With Illddlcherger voting with them tlu democrats would tie the republicans , nnd tin latter would have trouble In retaining con trol of the senate , but it two or three seats remain vacant for a season , or until eveiy- thing Is under way lor the session , there will be no hope for any caln for the democrat ; with or without Itlddleberger. The opinion has been expressed that the senators holding the certificates will , as Is the custom In the house of representatives , bo allowed to takn their respective beats pending a decision of the contest , bill such Is not the case. The senators are noi allowed to take any part in tlio proceeding it their ciedontlals are questioned until the matter has been examined into by the com mittee on privileges and elections , and tin senate comes to a decision touching the rec ommendations of the committee's report , Democratic politicians nro doing their lies ! to natch up a truce with the opponents of the dllferent senators whoso scats. It Is under stood , will bo contested. Tlio ollidavlt- which it Is aliened have been liied atTeetlnc the election of Senator Hearst , am said tf come from an unexpected quarter , and art based upon the conversation which he was reported to have been a party to at Chamber line's in this city , wherein tlio senator ha1 been quoted as saving that while hi- election did cost him a pile of money ho was determined to " < cratch his name a1 senator. " In the West Viiglnlacasetho lulu Is wholly among tbedcinocrats.and memberi of that party are afraid the light will be con tinned in tlio next legislature , which Is t < elect a successor to Senator Kenna. Luc.v Mill claims , to be senator-elect by virtue 01 his appointment by tlio governor of hi < stite. the certificate of which he holds , whili Faulkner has no certificate , thonch chose i by the legislature. The questions Involvet In the case as to whether or not the leirlsla tuio had a rl'jht to choose him when It did i ! a new one in the history of senatorial con tests , nnd It Is not known how It will bo set tied. Though Faulkner's friends nreconli dent , LUCAS has been hero and demanding o : the public printer the removal of certain cm ployes ollcgcd to have been Klven places ot tbo recommendation of Faulkner. From present sent appearances the breach wltiiln the rank : of the West Vliginlit democrats canno hold , nnd there Is n irood chance foi the election of a republican In j > Iaco o Kcnnn by the next legislature to bo elected The charges avalnst Hearst nro said to emo note from his own ptrty , which , if true leave ? the Indiana easy the onlv ono were ; contest Is mmfn ' y the republicans for th soit. It Is fair to presume that all thre states will lack their full representation ii the senate during the earlier part at Itust o the coming session. Tensions Granted. WAsiuxmoN , July 0.

Tha Paciiic rail- vay commission to-day examined at great encth Judge J. I * . Usher , the attorney of the Cansas Pacific railway , and now one of the Attorneys of the Union P.icitic , and the man vho drew up tlio mortcago consolidating tlio Julon and K.UISIS Pnciilcs. Judge Usher larrated tlm story of the Kansas Pacific from ts Inception. Commissioner Anderson In- errosated the witness with regard to the crtlllcates of stock of the Lcaveuwortli , awnee & Western road , xrhlcli General Stone had said had been distributed In arco quantities to poisons supposed to have nlluence with members of coo cress. Judge Jshcr denied positively that the certificate ttrlbutcd to him had ever been In fact de lve red to him. Ho characterized the certifi cates as spurious and said ho had not learned of their existence till after the passage of the act of July 1 , IbO'J. Ho had no knowledge of any attempt to Influence members of con gress. The witness described at great length lie prozress of the Kansas Pacific up to 1878 , vhcn vigorous efforts were made by the company to aequlio by legislation tlio right of through freight over the line of the Union 'acliic by compelling tlio latter company to accept and deliver through freight it Cheyenne. Witness and others went o Washington In the winter of ' 78. There 10 met Jay Gould who suggested that Kan sas Pacific stockholders sell their stock to ilm ( Gould ) . All the Kansas Pacific stock- lolders agreed to cell at VJJ } per cent and he bargain was eoncl tided In tbo spring of 71) ) . A peculiar feature of the moitgagiMvas , special provision by which the securities ot fay Gould and Kussell Sauo were ) xempted from commutation rates and vero entitled to bo retired at a speel- led sum , 53,400,000 In bonds. Tlio amount In bonds to which their sccuri- les would have been entitled at commutation rates pi ovided for other holders was 8 J'X- ! ! ) XX ) . Judge Usher could not remember why his provision had been Inserted. Tlio only iistructlons he had received were from Jay lould personally. The witness was then \amincd with regard to a number of Items 'ound on the Kansas Pacillc books showing mynients for "legal expenses. " Among hum were 57,500 to William E. Chandler n ' 71 in assisting to get a pro-rate till passed by concicss. An item of S. " > ,000 lor "extraordinary expenses" at I'opekn by Attorney Dennis , S4.7-1U to John ! . Henderson , of St. Louis , S74.'i paid Horace ace White , S'-.OOO to R M. Shoemaker , 811,000 > aid to II. G. Ingersoll , of Washington , for isslstlng In thu passage ot bills. Judco Usher said ho had never had anythine to do with such bills. The Dennis item had no loubt been expended lu entertaining inem- icrs ot tlio legislature at Topeka. Will- am E. Chandler's bill ho considered ' " business " to 'or "soliciting , explaining members of conzrcss tlio necessity for bills becoming laws , vtc. John B. Hender son's bill was for 'legal argument Horace Willie's was for proDUring and delivering a speecli before a congressional 'committee on a pie late bill and other bills he knew noth- ng of. Judge Usher criticised tlieofticlals'jf the war and postolllco departments for not givlni ; tlio Union Pacific a larger share of tlio ; overnnicnt transportation business. As to the debt , the witness thought if the government ' ernment would take Its securities and out the interest In two making it "M per cent , and lirst mortgage Bondholders would do likewise the road would p. iv Its debt and tliat plan would enable - able Iho Kansas and western states to take an immense stildo forward as they could then have cheaper freight rates. The princi pal ollico of the compauv should ho lemoved to the west wheio itn Inteicstsaro located. The commission will make a personal ex amination of tlm Kansas Central road next and then go to Denver. Ijnlior TrniililcH. UNIONTOWN , Pa. . July S.
