Lopox, June 6.—I have just had a long con- versation with Gen. Boulanger. He is very confident of his success and declared his con- vietion that Clemenceau would never be re- elected for Paris, He expects the French elec- tions will result in an overwhelming revision- ist majority. As to whether that majority would be Boulangist he could only say ‘nous verrons.” Nothing had been yet decided as to whether he would stand for eighty-six depart- ments, nor would he show his hand till this chamber was dissolved, for if he did they would pass new legislation to spoil his game. He ridiculed the idea that the exhibition had injured his chances, and said that every elector in France has made up his mind, and no Eiffel tower will change his decision. “My opponents have the army, judiciary, senate chamber and executive—everything—on their side, but I have one thing, the entire nation, which will make short work of them.” Boulanger expressed to me very strongly his determination to have religious liberty in France as in America, the nuns to go back to the hospital, and religious education to be optional with the parents, “The present gov- ernment desires liberty,” he said, ‘only for themselves. Iam for liberty for all and for eace. No one wants war in France. No one are begin war in Europe. Whoever begins will be the enemy of all, I shall not begin it. With astrong stable government France can answer for peace and make an engagement with Russia for peace, not for war. Even Dironlede, the soldier poet, has abandoned his dreams of war and admits that internal reforms must precede revanche, Boulanger seems to be comfortable. He said he was idle and never did anything he could avoid except dining out in the smartest Eng- lish sets. At present he prefers to remain a dark horse. cee et eae THAT CIVIL SERVICE REPORT. It Creates Quite an Excitement in the New York Custom-House. New Yorx, June 6.—The report of the civil service commissioners, which appeared in this morning’s papers in @ Washington dispatch, created quite a ripple of excitement at the cus- tom-house to-day. The proposed indictment of Terhune was specially commented on. Collector Erhardt said this morning that he had not yet received the official report. from Washington and did not care *%o say in advance what action he might take in the matter. The collector intimated that he should hardly dis- charge right and left on outside compiaints without first making an investigation himself. > Striking Car Employes at Cardiff.

The police are powerless to prevent these disturbances, ———— The Maybrick Inquest.

A TALK WITH COL, JAMES G, BERRET, ONE OF THE DIRECTORS—THE COMPANY OWES THE STATE OF MARYLAND $20,000,000 —A RAILROAD WILL PROBABLY BE LAID ON THE CANAL BED. There have been numerous and conflicting statements made as to what the Chesapeake and Ohio canal company is going to do with its wrecked property, and various theories as to its financial condition have been made public. As to the latter, it is probable that no one knows much more about it than Col. James G. Berret, who for twenty years has been one of the canal directors and intimately interested in its management. He talked of the canal toa Stan reporter to-day, and in response to the inquiry as to who had the greatest interest in the waterway he said that the state of Mary- land was three times as large a holder as all the other interests combined, the canal com- pany owing the state, principal and interest, not less than $20,000,000, THE ISSUE OF BONDS IN 1344 TO COMPLETE THE CANAL, “What status have the other bondholders?” asked the reporter, “In 1844,” replied Col. Berret, “the general assembly of the state of Maryland authorized the issue of 21.600,000 worth of bonds. This sum was necessary to secure the completion of the canal up to Cum- berland. The payment of these bonds was only secured by a lien upon the net revenues of the canal (to which the state waived its right), and as there have been no revenues for number of years and never will be the people who hold those bonds nothing buta claim—an equitable claim upon the state. By the application of the money raised under this act the canal was completed in the year 1850.” “THE NEXT CRISIS,” continued Col. Berret, ‘came in 1877, when the flood of that year almost destroyed the canal, ‘The Maryland legislature was appealed to, and in 1878 it not only authorized the president and directors to negotiate a loan of $500,000 but it alxo waived its lien upon the corpus of the canal, so as to give ample security for the payment of these bonds. ‘The bonds were then considered to be safe investments, The proceeds of these bonds were used for the restoration of the canal and since for repairs. The entire amount has been absorbed and now those bonds, with three unpaid coupons, are an outstanding lien upon the canal, By the terms of the 1878 act of the legislature,” said Col. Benet, “a majority of these bond- holders have now the right to pro- ceed, according _to the mortgage, to foreclosure. ‘The Baltimore and Ohio rail- road company, holding $260.00 worth of these bonds, couid take proceedings to foreclose the mortgage and sell out the canal; something which they, in my opinion, are not likely to do for the present. THINKS THE CANAL WILL BECOME A RAILROAD. “What do you suppose will become of the canal,” “I think that most of the possibilities and all the probabilities are that the canal will become arailroad from Cumberland to Georgetown. This will be @ great thing and will bring an immense amount of coal trafliz to Georgetown, ‘The business will be immense because the road would be down grade from the mines to the wharves; the railroad could bring more coal to tidewater, with less power exerted, than any other road in the country. It may be a little dificult for Georgetown people to im- agine just now that anything is right. All is not wrong, however, and we shall, I am satis- fied. prosper through the means of what cer- ainly looks a good deal like a calamity. Mean- while steps will undoubtedly be taken to se- cure a proper supply of WATER FOR THE MILLS AT GEORGETOWN by repairing the towpath as far asthe ‘feeder,’ just above the Chain bridge. This supply of water will, of course, be permanent, and need not in any way be affected by the railroad con- nection.” THE MINORITY BOND-HOLDERS, “What will the minority bond-holders do?” queried the reporter. “Minorities have rights,” was the reply. “If the Baltimore and Ohio company unnecessarily delays foreclosure of the mortgage the ‘minority will go into court and com- pel the ‘foreclosure. There 1 be delay anyhow, Nothing can be done until the land legislature meets in January, The company is absolutely without means or credit ana it can do nothing more than possibly ee up the water supply for the Georgetown mills,” WHO WILL BID HIGHEST? “Have you any idea as to who will buy the canal property?” “No; nor has any one else, When the mort- gage has been foreclosed the whole concern wil be put up at auction and knocked down to the highest bidder.” a “Do you know who the highest bidder will er”? “Of course not, The canal franchise is a val- uable one. It may be absorbed by the Baltimore and Ohio: the Pennsylvania people may imagine it wouid fit on to their system; the West Virginia syndicate may be desirous of’ purchasing; or @ private individual or almost unknown corpora- tion may secure it. Whichever of the roads thinks it would add to their business will pur- chase it. No matter what any one says, it is ouly mere speculation as to who will get it.” PRESIDENT GAMBRILL started from Georgetown this morning for a trip along the entire route of the canal. He will make a careful inspection and hopes to be able to complete his tour by the 13th instant, when the board of directors will hold a meeting to receive the reports of officers and to come to some conclusion as to future action. A SCENE OF DESOLATION, Things have a desolate look in the vicinity of the canal bed at and above Georgetown, The mules, who always have a tired look, hang around the place where their pittance of feed is doled out to them. The = chil- dren play along the remaining fragments of the towpath, roll down the once grassy but now clean-scraped banks to the river's edge, or make mud-pies out of the wealth of material which lies everywhere. The women nurse the belt Sarge babies and look more serious than they have heretofore. The destruction of the canal means a great deal to them. They will have to move away from scenes that have been familiar to them ever since they were born, A VISION OF HOPE. Their husbands do not stay around the boats, they are to be found in the stores of George- town or in the vicinity of the canal office, dis- cussing the situation in their primitive way, every man honestly trying to believe (and ap- parently with success) that the old water- way will soon bo repaired. and that when the birds begin their chirping next year and winter looses his grip on the throat of spring the sober mule will once more tread where others of his kind have trod before him, and that the cumbrous bluff-bowed canalboat, responsive to the muscle of the mule, will again walk the chocolate-hued waters like a thing of life—a lazy, lie-down-in-the-shade-and-go-to- sleep sort of a life. HARD TIMES AHEAD FOR CANAL EMPLOYES AND BOATMEN. The canal company has in its employ about 250 employes, nearly all of them married men; they will suffer more or less, The boat-owners and the boatmen (there are 300 of the latter) have no other canals in which to continue their ayocations, Hunger will pinch many a one of these and stony-hearted want will tug hard at the skirts of the boatmen’s wives—mothers‘of a thousand little ones who have heretofore had at least enough to eat. The hands who have done nothing but load up canal-boats ever since they knew what a canal-boat looked like will be straightened for a while. From Cumber- land to Georgetown there will be a string of poverty such as the region has never known before. Many a tramp will date his experience on the road from the reat Potomac treshet of 1889, and the r= nouses will claim more victims before the snows of next winter clear away than they bave for many years — A railroad may supersede es a ‘THESE PEOPLE MUST BE ASSISTED AT ONCE. They will starve before the right of way could be transferred. The condition of things is really serious, and were it not that the Johns- town horror occupies so much of the attention and the heart of the public, something would undoubtedly be done for the poor canal folks, Views of Ex-Senator Camden. Ex-Senator Camden, of West Virginia, is one of the directors of the West Virginia Central railroad, Speaking with a Stan reporter to- day about the possibility of the old canal bed being secured by that road for the extension of that line into Georgetown, he said that the company were alive to the opportunity to extend thely ned to Georgetown, and doubtless take the matter at once into serious considera- tion. He thought there was for the extension. He did however, that they would care to use the bed of the old canal. he said, showed it not to be safe from from water, and he thought, with the it cheapness gi ralzoud bree cons! it would be better the road to cross es iver wi Necessary, mi 8 more direct route by cutting off the bends. He said he thought the Baltimore and Ohio could util- ize the canal bed better than the West Virginia id, by running their line parallel with the old eanal and using it for si It is said that at one time the West Virginia Central attempted to get control of canal property by buying up the improvement bonds, of which $500, were issued. After buying $100,000 worth they found that the Baltimore and Ohio had already bought $260,000 more than half, and had got ahead of in con- trol of the property, — THE PRESIDENT NOT LONELY. Numerous Callers at the White House To-day. The President had another lively timo with the callers to-day, The repeated announce- ments during the past few days that callers were few at the White House seems to have in- fected the community of office-seekers with the idea that this isa good time to present their petitions, This notion struck a lot of them at the same time, and it is no longer lonely at the White House. There were almost as many per- sons who wanted to see him on business to-day as there were yesterday. Among the early callers who did not want office were Commissioner Douglas and Super- intendent of Public Schools Powell, Mr. Douglas called to pay his respects and to intro- duce Mr. Powell, VIRGINIA AXD MASSACHUSETTS. Representative Bowden took a small delega- tion to see the President to talk about some Virginia affairs, “but,” he said, “not to ask for offices.” Representative Cogswell called with two friends “to talk over the state of the republi- can party in Massachusetts,” which means that he had several applications about his ample clothing. As he }d onthe White House steps people stared, thinking Mr. Cleveland had come back. 4 CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONER OF NAVIGATION. Senator Evarts and Representative Farquhar called together. The latter is working to get his man appointed commissioner of navigation and has the assistance of Senator Evarts and most of the other New York folks, PHILADELPHIA INTERESTS, Representative Harmer called, accompanied by his son-in-law, Mr, Howard Reeside, He wanted to thank the President for the appoint- ment of Mar in as internal revenue collector at Philadelphia, Incidently he made some sug- gestions to the President as to some other ap- pointments. Mr. Harmer is devoting more time to the interests of the League Island navy- yard than to the business of office-seeking. He is very well satisfied with the disposition of the Secrelary of the Navy toward this yard. CONGRESSIONAL CALLERS, Representative-elect Morey, of Ohio, was on hand again with his three friends, Senator Plumb called, accompanied by one of his young constituents who would like to serve his couniry in some capacity, Other Congressmen calling were Wilber, 6, Burton, Ex-Senator Camden, of West Virginia, who had not called on the President since his election, came to pay his respects as a friend and former associate in the Senate. A GEORGIA CONTEST, Quite a contest is going on over the appoint- ment of the internal revenue collector for the district of Georgia, Gen. Longstreet and his followers are urging the appointment of the son of ex-Representative Freeman, a young business man who has always been a republican, Chairman Buck, of the state committee, has for acandidate Mr. Arnold, an active politician and delegate to the Chicago convention. Nearly a month ago Secretary Windom made out the commission for the latter candidate, but it still hangs fire at the White House, General Longstreet is very ill at his home at Gainsviile. To-day he sent Col. Jack Brown, of Georgia. to represent him before the Presi- deut in the interest of Mr. Freeman, GEN, LONGSTREET'S LUCK, Gen, Longstreet has had a strange tide of misfortune and good fortune disguised in dis- aster. He has been dangerously ill Some weeks or so ago the papers announced the destruction of his home, near Gainsville, by fire, involving the loss of his library, his sword, uniforms and war relics, and the manuscript of his book. His loss was a most disastrous one and aterrible blow to the old general. But the sequel to the disaster, as related toa Star reporter to-day by Col. Brown, is astonishing, Ait er the fire workmen were engaged in clear- way the ruins, and in a hopeless sort of way looking to see if anything could be saved, While at work with picks and shovels they struck a gold mine on the nite of the destroyed homestead. Further investigatton, assays, &c., have dis- closed that it is a gold mine of great richness, Gen. Longstreet and his family are raised from the depression of a loss they could ill afford to the prospect—the actual possession of wealth, There is gold all through that region of Georgia, THE LONGEST NAME YET. Mr. J.C, Ward is going as a missionary to India, Dr. LaFctra, of this city, called on the President with a letter from Rishop B. P, Tay- lor, of the M.

Just before the close of the reception hour a delegatior of clergymen, merchants, lawyers, and business men from the fourth congres- sional district of Maryland, called. to urge the appointment of Mr, H. N. Bankard to be naval oficer at the port of Baltimore. The delega- tion was thirty strong, headed by Dr. Weyson. Prof. John M. Langston had an interview with the President concerning Virginia politics, AMONG THE LATER CALLERS were: Mr. Jacob Tome, of Port Deposit, Md; John McDonald, of New York; Rev. Geo. O.

On the back of his card appeared the following: “Grace, mercy and peace be parce unto the nation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Lieut. Eckenbrecker and Chaplain Bier, of the German navy, with Mr. Harry Ayers Orth, called to pay their respects.

Prompt and Efficient Work of the Citi- zens’ Relief Committee. BESIDES THE LIBERAL CONTRIPUTIONS OF MOXEY LARGE QUANTITIES OF CLOTHING, MATERESSES, BLANKETS, SHOES, ETC., ARE BEING SHIPPED ‘TO THE VICTIMS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA DELUGE. The members of the Citizens’ Relief Com- mittee have not allowed the grass to grow under their feet. Since their formal organiza- tion yesterday morning the members have been at work earnestly and actively. Everywhere they have met with the hearty co-operation of the citizens of the District, The amount of the contributions, both in money and supplies, has already reached large proportions, and the stream of contributions shows no signs of di- minishing. An mstance of the generous and hearty response which the call for aid has elicited was given headquarters this morning by Mr. J. Leavitt Smith. He started out yesterday morning about 11 o'clock to coliect money. He endeavored as far as possible to keep away from the usual channels where contributions have already been elicited, and accosted people whom he met on the streets and in the small stores and offices. He said this morning that he found NO ONE WHO WAS UNWILLING TO GIVE, and when a refusal was made it was always based on the ground that they had no money to contribute. As a result of his day's work Mr. Smith turned in this morning the hand- some sum of $244. ‘here were no large single contributions, but the amounts were from twenty-tive cents toa few dollars. Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson the treasurer of the committee, and Mr. Edward Murphy were at headquarters nearly ail day receiving contribu- tions. The individual collectors appointed ponterday began to come in with their reports ater inthe day. A nnmber of contributions made directly to the committee by citizens were receive A BUSY TIME PACKING CLOTHING, ETC. At Willard hall the work of packing boxes of clothing was in progress this morning as if nothing in this direction had been done yester- day. But Mr. L, 8 Emery and his assistants yesterday had packed over torty boxes of clothing, which were shipped in the relief train that went out last evening. This record will be beaten to-day, Mr. Emery said. The piles of clothing seemed to be as large as they were yesterday. H,J. Crouch, H. B. McKean, John N. Dickson, Lafayette Sykes, Miss Scott and Mr. Bordemier, who volunteered their services in packing’ the boxes, were hard at work, The men had their coats off, and while some packed the boxes others nailed them up. In order to avoid confusion the contents of the boxes were labeled on the outside. As far as possible the clothing was classified. Under- clothing was placed in one box, coats and vests in another and shoes in another. A NEW FEATURE of the contributions to-day were a lot of mat- trasses and blankets, Mr. L. G. Kimball, who had been canvassing among the shoe dealers. came in the hall this morning and reported that he had boxes of boots and shoes which he valued at more than Gen, Spear, who lives in Mount Pleasant, came in with a large number of packages of clothing and over $100 in money that had been contributed by the residents of that place THE WAGON SERVICE is very prompt and eflicient and is entirely voluntary. The merchants and express com- panies have placed their wagons at the dis- posal of the committee, and when notices are received of supplies of clothing lett at any point in the city a wagon is at once dispatched to bring the packages to Willard hall. By the same service the boxesare taken to the Balti- more and Ohio freight depot, where they are loaded in the cars, THE RELIEF TRAINS, Last night a train of thirteen cars was sent from this city containing supplies for the Johnstown sufferers, The train was made up of cars from Philadelphia, Baltimore and other places, containing the coutributions of the citi- zens of those places, Two cars from this city were added which were filled by the citizens’ committee with provisions and clothing. This train will run through without stoppage to Johnstown. Another car was sent ont from this city this morning, and a fourth will go out this ‘after- noon, All these cars have been sent dir: to Johnstown, although the committee is aw that the need for help exists in other places, Telegrams have been sent to the authorities at Johnstown for information as to whether sup- plies or money are most needed. But so far 10 replies have been received. ‘Lhe committee has decided to send Mr. L. 8. Emery to Johnstown to take charge of the sup- plies trom this city, He will leave this, even- ing, and when he arrives at Johnstown’ if he finds that the supplies are not needed he will proceed to other points, Mr. Emery said this morning that he esti- mated the value of the clothing sent out yes- terday as between four and five. thousand dol- lars. He expected that some fity boxes wouid be ready for shipment to-day, RELIEF OF POTOMAC FLOOD SUFFERERS. Health Officer Townshend came to headquar- ters to-day and called attention to the fact that there were sufferers from the flood all along the line of the canal from Georgetown to the Great Falls, He said that there were a num- ber of cases of great destitution. The houses had been swept away with their contents, and some families were living in the woods. The lock-tenders, he said, had lost everything. and they were in ‘aitened circumstances before, and their condition was now much worse. He said that charity began at home, and that no better use could be made of some of the money now being collected then to relieve the wants of these poor people. Treasurer Johnston agreed with the views of Dr. Townshend and authorized him to expend @ sum of money not exceeding $100 for this purpose, Dr. Townshend said that he would start up the canal to-day and see what was needed. A MEDICAL COMMITTEE. Dr. Townshend, Dr. Robert Reyburn and Dr. Z. T, Sowers have been appointed a committee from the medical fraternity tocollect eubscrip- tions for the Johnstown sufferers. THE NAVY TO THE RESCUE. Rear Admiral Rodgers, U. 8S. N., called at headquarters to-day and stated that over $650 had been collected from the employes of the Navy department and the officers of the navy. A circular calling for contributions, signed by Admiral Porter, Admiral Rodgers and Capt. Sicard, has been issued. Admiral Rodgers stated that Mr. M. 8. Thompson, who had been designated by the Secretary of the Navy to re- ceive the contributions, would trausmit the money to the committee to-day. A SUGGESTION, Mr. Murphy, the secretary of the relief com- mittee, suggests that ali persons who are trans- mitting supplies and money to Johnstown re- port theamounts to the committee in order that the total will represent what the citizens have done.
