THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SIXTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 1. 1887, THE FRENCH MILITARY FETE. A Brilliant and Successfal One Held in Paris Last Evening BAD CROWD OF BOULANGERISTS. They Gather in Crowds and Make Night Hideous With Their Yells =No Serious Rioting—Other Foreign News, “Vive Boulanger." [Copyright 1857 by James Gore. o Bennett.] rAnrs (via Havre), May ‘¢ —[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Beg.)—Fifty thousand people, shouting at the top of their voices “Vive Boulanger,” “Vive Boulan- ger,” came swarming into the Place de voperaat 9 lock to-night, causing tre- mendous excitement and commotion, The opera house was magniticently illuminated and covered with flags and trophies bear- ing inscriptions. From the military club corner—the rue de lLa Paris and the Avenueopera directly opposite the Grand opera house—three batteries of electric lights own full upon the facade and gilded lyres of the crown's statues, setting forth the magnificent building in duzzling splendor, the occasion being the grand military festi- val organized by the army officers and over which General Boulanger, then minister of war, was to preside, a duty that now de- volves upon his successor, General Ferron. During the whole day the people were very much excited, and as an American resident, who was here during the revolution of 1848, the coup d’ etat of the third Napoleon and the siege of Paris in 1570-71 and the terrible days of the commune, said: *Things look lively. Paris is hot tor somet £ THE FIRST DISTURBANCE ‘The first disturbance came off In front of the chamber of deputies at 6 o’clock this eve: ning, when several hundred students and men in blouses collected. reading aloud Gen- eral Boulanger's farewell address to the army, siouting “Vi Boulanger,” aadsing- ing the arsellaise.,” The police dispersed the crowd with very little difticulty, the ring leaders merely saying, with significant smiles, “Oh, all right, we shall meet later at the Place de Lopera. Au revoir.” ROCHEFORT'S FLAMING ARTICLE. To-day’s demonstrations are greatly due to the flaming leader written by Henri Roche- fort in Instransigent, headed, “Le Ministere Allemand,” which was seen everywhere this morning, in the boulevards, on the tops of omnibuses. This is the time Rochefort hit the nail right in expressing the of ninty-nine out of every hundred of the inhabitants of Belleville and all the central and northern quarters of Parls, After pitch- ing into M. Rouvier, Rocherfort turns upon General Ferron and says: “We don’t know General Ferron, but he must be a verita ble hero if he Is able to face the shouts of “Vive Boulanger” that are sure to resound in his ears every time he appears in public, and especlally at the great review on the lith of July. Nevertheless, as his by- word is to merrily snore in his easy chair- and not make a single rifle barrel without first asking the permission of Germany, it seems to me to be much better and certainly more economical to annex the ministry of war during this ploughman soldier’s tenure of offico to the ministry of agriculture.” WHAT THE EVENING PAPERS SAY, The evening papers say this is rather rough on Ferron, especially as he [served all his life in the engineers and being on duty in New Caledonia In 1870, was unable to reach France and take part in the war. So at 8§ o’clock this evening Parisians worked them- selves up to a fever heat und marched 50,000 strong towards the opera house, they shout- Ing “Boulanger,” *“Boulanger,” “Boulan- ger,” in short, sharp staccato syllable barks, something like the Harvard cheer. Expect- Ing that an attempt would be made to dis- tend the presidents slumbers,a strong force of soldiers and police was posted at all ap- proaches to the palace Elysee with the strictest orders to challenge all suspicious per- sons to prevent ariot. Late in the evening a gang of several hundred Borges working- men slouched down the faubourg St. Honore, yelling and cheering. They got as far as the rue Boisny unmolested, but there came in contact with the troops, who quickly sent them about their business. After they were dispersed they reformed and marched up and down the boulevard de la Moleine, where they made night hideous shouting, “Vive Boulanger,” and singing a war song manu- factured for the occasion, with the incoher- ent refrain of “Grevy dart Bou- langer, est plus fort ministers.”” They did .not seem L be very dangerous characters, Shop boys and idle apprentices seemed to be in the majority, but among them [ noticed a strong leaven of well-known communists and scores of fren- zied scribes from sociallst newspaper oftices, one of whom flustered the bystanders for a moment by suddenly firing off a toy pistol near the opera, Beyond the firing of that ono toy pistol no artillery was unlimbered to-night, and after bellowing till they were nearly black in the face, about 1a.m, in the morning the Boulangists left the tield to the eneuy. A GRAND SUCCESS, ‘Tho military fete inside the opera was a triumphant suceess, The receipts exceeded 150,000 franes, The interior of the grand editice was aglow with eleetric. lights and crowded to suffocation, Noithet Generals Boulanger nor Fervon were present. Ferron bad his hands full at the ministry of war. Boulanger, who had not, as given out, left Paris, spent part of the evening at the Hotel du Louvre. Later he went for a quiet walk on the boulevard. Every other publie ofticial, politieal and theatrical celebrity iu Parls was present, many blazing with every linaginable decoration. A dra- matic incident of the evening was Gounod leading the military band of 200 trumpets in the soldiers’ chorus from “Faust.” The master resembles Dom Pedr He led with courage, showing that Mrs. Welden was not n the house. Distinguished members of nearly all the Parisian theaters appeared on asmall platforw in the center of the vast auditorium and recited a song. There was little attempt at dancing, owing to the erush, New York ladies would be intereste d to kunow that not a train dress was seen. Ma- harajah Halka, from Dceean en route for Enfland to assist in tho jubilee, with 1,000,000 franes worth of pearls in his lugeage for the queen, occupied a box. llo was greatly bored, yawned and finally went to sleep and snored, thercby diverting the audience from the political demonstration outside. Iis suite dared not wake him, but all vanished from the box. The sharp laugh of a giddy girl aroused him with a start and he rejoined Sir Lepel Griftin, who has him in charce. As the theaters closed the crowd increased, ‘The entertzinment lasted till daylight, d Belgian Legislation. [Copyright 857 by Jomes Gordan Rennett.)

Mr. Burnart, chief of the cabinet, supported the bill by a long and eloquent speech, showing that the present means of protection are completely Inadequate, saying that by strengthening her territory Belgium will not only fulfill her duty towards herself, but also towards Eu- rope. Asa strong country Belgium wiil pre- vent direct contact between France and Ger- many and thus suppress an inducement to war. Burnart, in support of his argument, auotes Dilke's latest articles in the Fort- niehtly, and ulso all the great Belgian mili- tary authorities, After a wordy war the dis- cussion was postponed until to-morrow.

The new budget will be pre- pared in accordance with the recent vote of the chamber. He will maintain the Goblet cabinet’s military bills and will also an- nounce the determination of the ministry to resign unless they obtain a ma- jority of republican votes in the chamber. General Boulanger, upon retirineg from the ministry of war, issued an order of the day thanking those who co-operated with him to place the coun- try’s defenses in a condition to stand any test, and urging the officers of the army to show devotion to thelr professional duties,and fidelity to the constitution and laws. In conclusion, he says, “1 shall be the first among you to give an example of both mili- tary and republican discipline.” General Ferron, upon assuming the duties of the war office, also issues an order of the day in which he says: “L shall unremittingly pur- sue a poliey of military reform, and snall de- vote my whole time to increasing the defens- ive forces of France.”” Moderaterepublican papers cordially wel- come the new ministr The monarchist press receives it rather favorably, but the Tadienl and independet papers are-ecidedly Lostile.

NEW YoRK, May 31.—|Special Telegram to the Ber.]—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Secretary Bayard's con- duct in the Cutting case was different from what it is in the case of an unfortu- nate Cuban-American by the npame of Publo, who has lanquished in a Spanish prison for over two years now, and whose liberation he does not seem anxious 1w secure. In the local organ of the adminis- tration] Secretary Bayard says that his case has not been brought'to the attention of the state department by apybody. This is not a fact. ‘The case has been for'two vears in the hands of the American consul-general at Havana, appointed by the present adminis- tration, Assistant Secretary Porter, of the state department, vave to a friend of the prisoner, who applied to him as a reason why this government did not act more ener- getically 1n the case, the “lack of mnavy” to support any domand upon a power like Spain, and he madeat thesame time the humiliat- ing contession that England would probably long before this have secured the release of an Enclishman placed In the same position that Publo is. The president has on two occasions been appealed to, but so far with out any result. Publo is a Cuban and was concerned in an uprising which ended with the peace of Zanzon. After this he came to this country and settled in New York where he edited a Cuban paper and became a natur- alized American citizen, Su .el|ueml{ he engaged in the tobacco business in New York. Two years agzo he wentto Key West to conclude some purchase of tobacco and make arrangements for some contracts, While in Key West he heard of the death of his aunt in Havana, whereby his only sister, unmarried, was left alone and unprotected. Being much concerned about her he deter- mined to go to Havana with a view of bring- ing his sister to the United States and enter- ing into arrangements wheéle thero with some leaf tobacco merchants for such leaf tobacco as he should need. He went to the Spanish consulate and obtained his ~ American passport which he duly sizned and armed with his legal docu- ment then took passage on an American steamer bound for Cuba. He was arrested just as he landed, the Spaniards trumping ur a charge of conspiracy against him, He did not have with him any papers of a com- {xronnslng character. The only grounds for he nlmr*a against Publo 1s that while in this country he wasa member of a secret soclety and edited Cuban-Spanish papers. Publo was arrested on or about November 26, 1884, and in the twenty-six months that he has been incarcerated in & Spanish dungeon he has only heard from the United States consul some three or four vime: THE B1G WH T DEAL. Armour Undoubtedly the Man Who Is Engineering It. Cu1caco, May 3L.—[Special Telegram to the BEE.|—The Mail to-night publishes a letter which says: *‘Iam firmly of the opin- ion and have good reasons for believing so, that the wheat deal is operated by Armour, together with parties in Galveston and the Standard oil company. Whatever may be said to the contrary, there is no question but that Armour is the manipulator of the deal. Any impression that may have gone abroad, either through brokers who have been su Roseul to act for theclique, or purchases made y himself, orhis friends in other parts of the country, is done to cover his hand and to assist in mlnlgulltlnn of the deal, There is not the slightest doubt but that the clique have every dollar necessary here in New York and other points to carry the deal to & successful issue. Of this there is no doubt whateve.. Armour’s sale of 2,000,000 ats8wsie was done for effect, and purchases in Minneapolis to arrive helped to fill ele- vators, ‘The market has been and i3, en- tirely at their will, and has fluctuated up and down, as it suited their purpose.
