Boulanger Moves It In the French Chamber of Deputies. Panis, June 4. -General Boulanger gave to the chamber to-day that he wonld submit a proposal for a revision of the consti- tution, and would demand urgeney therefor. He read a preamble stating that the elections which had produced so many manifestations in his favor compelled him to call attention to the sufferings of the country, and to the intense crisis which threatened to become very serious. The general said: “The republic is now governed by a group, a state of affairs peri- Jous to any country, desiring liberty and justice for all. Parliamentism has excited a culpable cupidity; it has paralyzed the good will of the nation. Revision of the constitution was the only effectual way to the government froin the hunds of the ileged class. How could ministers last any national policy be permanent which rested upon parliamentism, divided into groups, pursuing nothing but clique intevests, It was notorious that some ministers had drawn money from the public treasury in order to secure electoral votes.” At this point the gen, rupted b of the chamber ked him 0 statement. General Boulanger declared that he had no intention of attacking the present ministers. Continuing he asked whether the ident of the republic was really a nece ¥, and whether Frauce could not do as well without a president. Thes president of the chair here advised Boulanger that it was time to bring his speech to a close. The gen- eral in conclusion said: “France reconsti- tuted should promisp continuity of her foreign relations. Supported by a powerful army she would become the best guarantec for the peace of Europe,” M. Floquet credited Boulanger with a de- sive to calm the impatience of the electors by the production of his motion, fearing that b merit the éplthet of “Do-Nothing Dic- The motion was rejected—3i7 to 56, M. Pyatt recalled the fact that General Boulanger had been colonel of the Versailles army against the commune, M. Cassagnac exclaimed: “You were a communist. Your place is in a convict cell.” M. Pyatt’ proceeded amid an uproar to de- clare in favor of voting urgency, in spite of the fact that he was no admirer’ of Boulan- ger, who owed his success to opportunist persecution. M. Floquet chargod Boulanger with giving utterance to projects for the future wherein the glory of Boulanger was the only thing discerned. My glory equals yours,” rejoined the gen- al. M. Floquet reminded him that at his age— one—the great Napoleon had died and he asked what chance there was that the general’s ambition would attain anything. After the defeat of the motion, the cham- ber resolved by a vote of 335 to 170 that the speech of Floquet should be placarded pub- licly throughout France. e FOURTH OF JULY.

Got Money From Omaha. The pretty littlo residence of Deputy County Treasurer John Groves on Chicago street between Twenty-fifty and Twenty- sixth was invaded by a Ber reporter shortly atter midnight last night, and several dem- onstrative and noisy thumps on the front door brought Mr, Groves to the entrance. He was attired in a nocturnal uniform, and politely invited the reporter inside. The visit was inspired by the receipt of the fol- lowing Associated press telegram: LoNpoN, June 4.—Walsh, the man who ‘was suspected by the police of being impli- cated in a plot similar to that which led to the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish, and Under Secrotary Burke in Phoenix park, Dublin, finding himself dogged at every foot-step accorded an interview in Paris to an agent from Scotland yard. He said he had convinced himself that the po- lico had discovered all the de- tails of the matter in which he was interested, and that he had aban- doned his mission, Walsh sailed from Havre for New York on the steamer La Norman- dic on Saturday, taking passage under the name of Walters. Previous to his departurce he spent money lavishly and showed the de- tective who interviewed him three twenty pound notes, which he said he had received last week from a man named Groves resid- "IX‘“ Omaha, Neb. lamp was lighted and Mr. Groves settled down to learn the cause for being dis- turbed from his slumbers. In respouse to the questions hurled at him he said: “I know Walsh, whose name is John. I first made his acquaintance in London twenty years ago, He was then in the iron business, and our relations were broken ‘when I set sail for America. Ve were apart in personal re- lations for @& number of years, but T heard from him occasionally through people 1 came in contact with, who told me that they had met him and that he had in- quired after me. These inquiries came from people who had metshim in New York, where Pvas told thiat he wasiin the employ of the government. One day, about three months ago, Walsh stepped in upon me, and I was glad to see bim, He looked ill and broken down, and told me that he was in ill health.

There was nothing vindictive or demonstrative about his views. 'That telegram you have just shown me is simply ridiculous. and must have taken root in the fertile brain of some sensational- ist.

Farmers Quarrel Over a Cow— Knocked Down By an Axe. The police yesterday morning received a dispatch from the sheriff of Holt county asking them to arrest William A. Seager for trying to kill a man named Mosner, living at Cleveland, Later in the day Mounted Police- man Shoop found the gan on the outskirts of town and brought him ' iuto the central station, 1 The farms of Seager's father and Mosher adjomn, Seager says he moticed Mosher try- ing 1o coax one of his father's cows to tre pass upon the neighbdr's grain field. There ‘lud been some bad Blood between the two families, and Seager's theory is that Mosher wanted an_excuse td have the cow im- pounded. At any rate, Stager started ont to ring the bovine batk) Words passed be- tween the men, and’ Seager says Mosher swung a bridle and struék him over the faco and head r ullated with a blow from the handle of ar axe he held and knocked Mosher down. Seager's father was in town yesterday anfl ridicules the idea thal Mosher is seriously hurt, “Why," he said, “you take hold of an axe near the blade and see how much of a blow you can strike with the helve.” The father corroborates the son's story, and claims to haye watched the affair through a field glass. Mosher is said to be about sixty-fiv ars old, Young Seager admitted to his captor that he had used Mosher so badly that he couldn’t getup. The prisoncr evidently anticipated arrest. When found by Ofiicer Shoop at a boarding place near town, Seager asked if he was wanted by the blue'coated representa tive of the law's far-reaching arm. He wanted to know if @ warraut was out for his arrest, snd inquired particularly about the polic 's jurisdiction. zer's father was in the city, and Officer Shoop got the Joung fellow into the city by urging him to go elp his sire get 8 wagon load of goods howe, The policeman arrcsted his prisoner in his father's presence. Young Seager left the impression on OMeer Shoop that the trouble was about a claim or land that Mosher was trying to jump. Drink Malto it is pleasant. FIFTIETH CONGRESS, Senate.

The republicans persisted in their refusal to vote, and another roll call was ordered on the motion to go into committee. On this vote 111 democrats responded. No quorum, and on motion of Mr. Mills, the house adjourned. e Both Sides Explain. WasiiNGroy, June 4.—The republican members of the house explain their action in beaking the quorum in the Louse to-day by thé tement that the day was, under the regular order, set apart for motions to sus- pend the rules and pass measures called up by individuals. In preparation for such an order Representative Merritt, of Kansas, had made ready to move to pass the senate de- pendent pension bill. Had the democrats seen fitto dispense with “suspension day” and proceed with the cousideration of the tartt there would have been mo opposition, but the burden of complaint among the re. publicans is that after Mills had recognized the character of the day by a motion to suspend the rules and pass his resolution setting apart ¢ n evening sions for action upon committee reports, parhamentary sos were violated by a refusal of the speaker pro tem to recognize members on the republican side to make a suspensory motion. Therefore, they refused to take up the tariff bill. The apparent explanation of the course pursued by the democratic side is hat the committee on rules wished to make an opportunity for legislative business other 1 tho tariff bill is, but a report fixing tes, if prescnted in the house, would be open to an amendment in way. Therefore, Mills pursued the plan of making a report in the shape of a resolution on suspension day when it could not be amended under the rules. Ways and M WASHINGTON, June democratic members of the w nd means committee were in consultation for some time after ad- journment to-dny discussing the situation, tomeet the republican demand for addi- tional pension legislation, and at the same time to preserve a_consistent record in the matter of tariff reduction. A number of democrats incline favorably to the plan of setting apart a day for such legislation, with the understanding that at the proper time a motion will be made, similar to that made at one timo by Morrison under like circum- stances, to pi ide the money required to enditures authorized by the imposi- tion of & tax on incomes above 5,000, WASHINGTON, Special e to the Ber.] Myers, band, Sixth infantry, now in_the custody of the civil authoritics, will be discharged with- out character from the service of the United States to January 18, 1883, (date of arrest by civil autho by the commanding ofiicer at Fort Leavenworth, to Carroll Har ‘ompany C, Sec ond infantry, now in confinement at the s tion of his company, is discharged ; also Pri- vate William Hallback, troop G, Ninth caval- ry, now with his trooy Nebraska and lowa Pensions, WASHINGTON, June 4.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bek. |—The following pensions were granted Nebraskans to-day: Increaso— William H.

So he did not drive in the afternoon as he had iutended owing to the intense heat which brought on @ slight headache. The emperor's appetite is again very good and th justifies the hope tnat his strepgth will mow rapidly increase, but apart from his bodily state it is understood that the emperor is still suffering from some degree of what may be called mental depression, which cannot but be aggravated if it be not caused by the pre- vailing difference between the crown and the cabinet with regard to the quinquerinial bill. - The signs multiply that there really is a ministerial crisia in connection with. this question, one of these signs among others being the fact that the semi-official North German Gazette this evening quotes a sensa. tional statement on the subject, but ho positive light has yet been thrown on the pro- cise stage, which the crisis—to call it so, for want of a better name—has reached. I learn from another source the fact that Prince Ferdinand has no intention of identifying himself with Herr Von Puttkamer, whose resignation is probable. Prince Bismarck will ®o o Friederichskron to morrow, or more probable on Wednes. day, shortly before leaving Friederichsruhe, when a final docision will be arrived at. A little circumstanco shows that the emperor is really rogarded as improving. It is this: Herr Angeli, the famous painter of Vienna, has boen written to that the emperor's condi tion has so much improved that he will now bo able to sit for the portrait which he in- tends to have taken in his coronation robes, and Herr Angeli will shortly leave for Fred- erichskron.

It will have another hearing, possibly to-day, or to-mor- row in the United States court m this ecity, before Judge Dundy, on a very important question which is nothing more nor less than the right of Smith’s creditors to obtain pos- session of the money which the sale of that man’s goods, after the first alleged settle- ment brought, amounting to $73,000, 1t will not be n to go into detail to explain the situation. Every Omahan at the time remembers and those who have since come here have in some manner heard of Loy- al L. Smith,of his brass bands, his excursions, his profligacy and the ruinously low’ prices at which he sold is dry goods. It was in 1886, suddenly Smith disappeaved, skipped to Canada, having made a pretended sale to Lowey and Cote. The latter claimed to have purchased the stock in good faith. Notiwith- standing they were attached by numbers of Smith's creditors, and judgments were rendered against the new proprictors. After a long litigation the federal court ordered the proceeds of the sale of the stock, which was in the hands of a receiver, to be paid to In the mean time, however, the itors of Smith became desperate, sulted with D. K. Tenney, of Ten- ney, Basford & Tenny, of Chicago, who had of the attorueys for confe was a scheme to bring Smith back from 4. Smith returned and gave up in- formation upon which a judgment was granted tying up the monies in the receive hands. Tenney was made trustee for the eastern creditors and immediately began suit to make Lowoy and his alleged confed- erates liable for tho debts of the contern, in other words, to surrender the money whicn, Dy the order of the federal court, had been ordered paid into its custody for the benefit of Lowy. The triul occupied a mouth and resulted in favor of the creditors. Judge Shepherd was on the bench and the case was held in the verior. court of Cook county, Illinois. In giving his decision the court referred to the “alarming amount of perjury and contradiction in the case, claiming thit Lowey had lied and that his heliof was that all that fraud paid was £10,000 vnd ghat was in consideration of turn- ing over goods to him and stepping out. He concluded by saying that there was no doubt that Lowey entered knowingl, into a frauduient conspiracy to defr latter’s ccordingly entered a decree ordering the finding out of the full »f the goods and compellin full assessed divided among the judgment creditor: On last Thursc ).

It was he, who, under another firm name, bought the stock left by the defaulter and paid for the same £75,000 “just to get it out of the way” as Mr. Morsc smilingly says. But in getting it out of the way itis assured that a snug little sum was realized. ““Ihe litigation now does not annoy us" said Mr. Morse, **We paid our money, paid it into the court and now the goods are sold, The creditors don't want the goods.

As Mr. Tennay puts it, “they are fugitives from justice.” A TALK WITH MR, SMITH, Loyal 8. Smith arrived from Chicago last night and registered at the Paxton, where he was'seen by a Beg report “In regards to the transaction with Lowy as related in Tir Bee of to-night,” remarked Mr. Smith to the reporter, “1 wish to_add a fow words. My indebtedness when I made the transfer to Lowy was in the ncighbor- hood of §200,000. A8 I could not sco my way cloarly out of the hole, I had made arran ments whereby I could have made a settle- ment with my creditors, as I had a stock of Ynml!l on hand to “the value of $200,000, Lowy camo to mo well recommended, and I turned the stock over o him with the undor standing that it was to tie up the stock with the avowed intention of getting a sottloment with my ereditors, aftor which he was to re- transfor it to me and I was to go on with tho business and he was to bo handsomely paid for his trouble. When the time came for him to retransfor he positivel refused to do so cousequon the trouble that has ensuod. I have ssettled with every one of my creditors who are not now interested with me to recover the valuo of the stock.” Smith gave further assurances that had heso desired he could have borrowed thousands of doliars from the banks the day before the transfer to Lowy was made, as he had not exhausted his line of credit with the Merchants' National and United States banks, “Attorneys Woolworth and Thurston,’” con- tinued Mr. Smith, “have been wrongfully censured by outside parties in reference to this case. The lawyers, 1 believe, wore not fully cognizant of the details of the transac. tion.” Mr. Smith also paid a glowing com- pliment to D.K. Tonney, of Chicago, for tho able manner in which he has couducted the caso for the creditors, o TR PRESS FACILITIES. The Assignment of Scats and Tele- graph Arrangements. Sr. Lotis, June 4.—Charles W. Knapp, chairman of the local press committoe sub. mitted his proposed assignment of soats to the sub-committee of the national democratic committee, which on Knapp's recommenda- tion, enlarged the space allotted to the press. After a careful revision Knapp assigned 278 seats at his disposal to working reporters. In addition to these seats the committoe has set apart 422 additional seats for the press that cannot be accommodated at the working reporters’ tables and tickets for these aro to bo given to different delegates for distribu- tion among the newspapers of their respec- tive states: The Western Union telegraph company’s facilities for handling press and other tele- grapnic business of the convention are very complete. The company will send out bulle- tins covering the ballots and important points in the proceedings, which will bo given to the public and the press free of charge. - The Postage Stamp. The New York Times recently pub- lished an interesting article on this subject, in which it said: At the flrst blush the idea appeared excellent: but unfortunately the Postal Union conven- tion itself was the first 1 nterpose an insurmountable onstacle. As already stated, one of the al principles of the. original convention is that cach country shall retain the postage “which it col- leets. If a universal stamp were used, then, what guarantee would there be that the country who sold the stamps and got the profit would had done the work for which it had been paid? None whatever; and, moreover, it was found on closer examination that the mone- tary systems in force in some of the countries of the Postal Union would not lend themselves to a universal stamp. Thus, for cxample, the twenty-five centime stamp which prepays a half ounce (or 1> grammes) etter from France or Italy to England is represented in Germany by a twenty- twenty ; quarter of than twenty-five centimes, with the ten kreuzer Austrian which, although it does Hung for prepay and 50 stamp; duty in Austria- twenty-five ‘centimes in letter, is actually about four co s less in value. The idea, therefore, in the universal postage stamp, to which the originator clung foudly to the last, had, after all, to be abandoned. At the various postal con- ve from time to time always been agreed administrations con- cerned that thr special exceptions should be made to the system of counting for foreign mails at the ordl ary fixed rate and by periodical statis- tics. These exceptions ave: For the conveyance of British mails across the Isthmus vailway between Panama and Colon. for the transmission of foreign mails across the continent of America by express service from San Francisco to New York, and for the overland In- dian mail via Briondisi, All these are paid for by net weight. been held, among the s - 3 Those who tale D ' Red Clover Tonic never have dyspepsia, . costive breath, piles, pimples, ague ria, poor appetite, low spirits, Price 50 ness, b and m headache or kidney troubles, cents, .
