Epp—— THE OMAHA DAILY NINETEENTH YEAR. AN OBSTINATE BOULANGIST. He Breaks Up a Sitting of the Cham- o o ber of Deputies. PEACEFUL MEASURES EMPLOYED The Presiding Officer Adjourns the ting Rather Than Use Force— Queen Victorin’s Finances to Be Investigated. Laguerre as an Obstructionist. [Copyright 1859 by James Gordon_ Bennett.] Pans, July 11.—|New York Herald Cable —Special to Tus Bre.|—Yesterday's sitting in the chamber was again of an agitated nature in consequence of incidents provoked by the Boulangist group. The sitting was mugh shorter than usual, Laguerre having, s it were, glued himself to the tribune and stubbornly refused to budge an inch, despite the injunction of the president and the fact that tho chambers passed the vote intended to demonstrate that if speech was human, silence was aivine. Laguerre, being very human, the president put on his hat, which, of course, closed the sitting and afforded the Boulangists the satisfaction of feeling that if they can not put an end to parliamentarism, they at least are abls to prevent the regular working of the regime. M. Meline gave evi- dence of a deep fund of patience and long suffering. Under conditions very analogous to those of yesterday, Gambetta, when presiding over the chamber, ordered Baudry Daison, who refused to leave his scat regardless of the vote of f(emporary exclusion, to be removed by force,and the obstinate deputy was even shut up for a few hours in the black hole destined for members whose con- duct leave 1o room for improvement. Meas- ures of 0 severe a character were not em- ployed towards P.aguerre. The president of the chamber preferred to leave him in pos- session of the ground rather than take the trouble of ousting him. M. Melne was probably of the opinion that scenes of tu- mult and violenco had been sufliciently fro- quent in the legislative arcna and thet it was superfluous to afford the already jaded pub- lic tho spectaclo of a hand-to- hand struggle between Laguerre and tho ushers, or soldiers, who would have been entrusted with the task of turning him out. Laguerre and his friends, moreover, would not have falled to make much ado about the matter, pose as victims, and make protests loud and deep against & violation of parlinmentary inviolability. This justified M. Meline's abstention from the extreme measures placed at his disposal by the rules of the house, Furthermore, Laguerre and his companions in misfortune are forbidden entrance to the chamber for fifteen days, be- fore tho expiration of which term the session will most likely conclude. This fresh incident demonstrates once again huw indespensable it is that the cham- ber should be dissolved as speedily as possi- ble. No ono contests this—ieast of all, per- haps, those senators who are making ail the haste they can with the budget. In one day they finished balf the budget dealing with national expenditures, nnd expect 1o treat the budget receipts with the same expedi- tion. The estimates will accordingly be ro turnéd to the lower house during the course of the day, and it is expected that by tne end of the current week all will be over, and that the curtain will fall on the parliament of 1885-80 next Saturday, 1t is true that scencs such as those which succeed one another almost without nter- ruption in the Pulais Bourbon are greatly injurious tothe parlinmentary system of gov- ernment. The Boulangists are uot acting without o purpose. The provocation of all these scendals is a part of their tactics, They metaphoricaliy wring hands and tear hair over these disorders, while in reality profit- ing by and creating them e i b or Lovers of Art, [Covyright 1850 by James Gordon Bennett,| Pants, July 1L—[New York Herald Cable—Speoial to T Ber.)+~According to the latest advices it is probablo that the French legislature will not confirm the pur- chase by the government of Millet’s “‘Au- gelus,” at the Secretan sale, which was knocked down to the representative of the miudster of fine arts for 553,000 francs, after & bid of over half a millon by Americans de- sirous to buy. The probable consequence will be that the Corcoran art gallery or other American association will be allowed to se- cure the prize at the purchase price, plus a substantial commission to the intermediato agent. All know that Millet's talent was first recognized in America, but, is 1t not running things into the grouna o pay £20,000 for & painting, however meritoricus, of the dismal schoo! of which Millet is a prototype. From & strictly artistic poiit of view, as distinct from the Millet mauia, the painting is worth perhaps 10,000 or 12,000 francs on its own merits, and now by what seems to be very like artful dealing the well known blind en- thusiasm of Americans for Millet's works has been played upon to the tune of some quarter of & million francs more than the pictare would have fetched haa it been left 10 boua fide bidders—Americon and others— in tag auction roow. e HER MAJESTY'S WEALTH, The Possessions of the Queen to Bo Inquired Into. | Copuright 1889 by James Gordon Benneut,) N July 1l.—|New York Herald Cable—Speeial to Tum Bee.]—It has been more than once intimated on the part of the government and soverelgn that thore has been no fear of producing an account of ex- penaitures as regards tho list. During the xeign of her majesty it has been the custom to keep close und necurate accounts, and she has given her consent to the production of these avcounts from her uccession down to the present period. It will be shown whether there has been any saving and whether there has been an excess of expenditures on various items in the civil list. The result of this disclosure, it is thought, will effectively silenco that section of the radical party which has denounced the queen for hoarding large sums of money out of the civil list and it is ex- pected that it will prove that her majesty has rendered most generous assist- ance to all the mewbers of her family who were in need of it On Monday the committee on royal grants will hold its first meeting, and all that has boen demandediby the radical party and more will then be conceded. It is understood, itis L that the time has come when an end should be put to the extravagance of the ®ttacks which bhave been wade upon the soy- erelen's account, The suppesed enormous wealth which she has acquired, the demands for the production of her will, for instance, which have come of late from various radi- cal uewspapers, Lave been of the wmost offen- Blvo descripuion, wud 16 was probably feit OMAHA, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1889 by the majority of her advisers that the best way to treat them was to disclose tho whole stato of her majesty’s meaas, although her will remains, of courss, her own property, Just as is the will of the humblest subject. e TANGA TAKEN.

Cnicaco, July 11.—[Special Telegram to Tre Bee.]-—~The presidents of the Inter- State Commerce Railway association bave a happy faculty of fooling sensation mongers. To-day's proceedings presented the climax. The conference between the presidents and the Burlington & Northern was held, and white-winged peace broods over the roads, The following resolution shows the senti- ment which prevailed : Resolved, That the lines interested in the St. Paul and Minneapolis trafiic be requested to at once open negotiations through the northwestern division of the Western Freight asscciation with their eastern con- nections, with a view to make such jomnt tariffs and rates between all points reached by the Canadian routes and lake routes as shall meet any and all rates made by said Canadian and lake routes; that in the opin- ion of this committee, by reason of lake and Canadian competition, a dissimilarity of cir- cumstances and conditions exists which jusuifies the meeting of lake and canal com petition, regardiess of mtermediate rates. In brief, the resolution is perfectly in ac- cord with'the Burlington & Northern posi- tion—that lake and rail and Canadian com- petition must be met by all the rail lines. Be- fore the resolution passed assurances were received from the central trafic and trunk line roads that they would co-operate in the movement. 3 This scttlement of the northwestern situa- tion takes away all danger to the situation from the St. Paul roads. It practically makes the Burlington & Northern a member of the association, and there is no reason ex- cept the slight additional expense to keo it trom jounng. The southwestern situation, presenting the complications of the Alton’s cut in the stoci and dressed beef rates, and the notice of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas_City to put in low commodity tariff to the Missouri, was re- ferred to & permanent committee, consisting of the presidents of the Kansas City lines, with full power to act. The mecting ad- journed subject to the call of the chairman. The G. A. R. Rates, Cnicago, July 1L.—[Speclal Telegram to Tue Beg.]—The trunk, central traffic and western states' passenger association lines have absolutely refused to grant the rate of a cent a mile, asked by the Grand Army of- ficials for veterans attending the Milwaukee encampment. The decision will either break up the anuual encampment or keep the ma- jority of veterans away. Freight Rates Kestorpd. New Yorx, July 11.—A joint committes of eastern and western lines, including the New England railroads, had a meeting this morning av the office of the trunk lines. Freight rates wera restored on everything except corn to a basis of 25 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York, with corresponding rates from other points of greater or less distance, the restoration to take place on the 22d4 of July. Rates on corn will continue on the 20 cent basis on all lines, subject to ten days’ notice of advance, It was rumored on Wall street just before the close that the differential claimed by the Baltimore & Ohio had been allowed. The change was also ordered in the classi- ficavion of wool by which the minimum amount per car load, subject to charges, was reduced from 16,000 to 10,000 pounds, This reduction was brought about by the Grand Trunk, of Canada, and was approved by Commissioner Blanchard, = An application to reduce the minimum weight of live stock was referred to the officers of the joint execu- tive committee for a vote and official de- cision, The Sloux City & Northern, Stoux Crry, Ia., July 11.—|Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee.]—The active' work for constructing the Sioux City & Northern railroad has been in progress for some time.

ALL OPPOSITION REMOVED. A Motion to Instruct Them as to Their Dutles Voted Down-The Bis- marck Convention Re assembles, Polltical Ambition, Stovx Fars, S.D., July 11.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.]—This evening 1 discoy- ered the extent of the political ambition of the delegates to the convention, in the way of increasing the logislative districts, Their ambition is not unreasonable. At prosent the constitution provides that there shall be ninety-nine members of the lower and thirty- nine of the upper house of the legislature. The limit 18 160 representatives, and forty- eight senators. The convention Is composed largely of young men, and it was believed that they would demand the full limit the constitution will allow. The committee on legislative and judicial apportionment is ready to report that there shall be a senator for every 1800 voters, and a mem- ber of the lower house for every 600 voters. This gives 40 senators and 130 representatives, considerably under the limit. There are fifty organized counties in South Dukota. Since there are twenty-five members of tho committee bhaving this ques- tion in charge, they will have their report before the convention shortly, unless there is a split in the committee. When the convention met this afternoon, the question of referring the constitution to the various committees, article by articleand section by section, which question yesterday created so much of u furore, was settled without friction, and the reference of the document to committees was promptly com- pleted. Efforts were then made to instruct the commiittee as to what their action should be. Two resolutions were offered, both intended o preventany but the four or five well- understood amendments being offered from the committees. One proposed to tell the committees just what they could do to make the constitution conform to the omnibus bill passed hy congress, and the other directed the committees to indicate to the convention what changes they believed were necessary in order to make the constitution conform to the law of congress. Both propositions were promptl{; voted down. There were ominous shakes of the head as the delegates talked of bridling the committe, came evident that no one or no one element, even with the best of intentions in view, could prevent tne regular original order of proceeding being followed. The delegates are not in a burry in any event. There was a long and heated debate over a wemori cted to President Har- rison, requesting that he have suspended all action on mineral and_coal claims entered upon school claims in South Dakota till tho state is admitted to the union. It was con- tended that there are many fraudulent claims set up to get possession of valuable school lands, and that until South Dakota becomes a state she has ao way of defending her rights in the premises. Delegates fought vigorously, holding that it was in the same line as the'infan ous proceedings of the late land commissioner, Sparks, who punished and outraged the innocent to detect the guilty. The wore Sparks was abused the greater the convention was pleased, and yer the memorial was adopted by a vote of 86 to 24, It will go to the president and, it 18 be- lieved, will have the effect of suspending all claims located on school lands till probably the end of this year. Hundreds of errors in the grammatical construction of the constitution” as it now stands and the orthography and punctuation were reported and referred to a committee. The ministers of South Dakota, by me- morial, asked that the selection of the capi- tal be detérmined at a special election and at the time the other questions are submitted, on tho 1st of next October. A bill of rights was presented, in which it was provided that the lands of non-residents be taxed on the same basis as those belonging to resideats of the state. A Jot of other and _frivolous propositions were made and the bill closed with the ridiculous provision that to change this article the consent of the people of the United States must be procured, This proved the fly in the syrup, and the bill be- came the butt of all jokes, The session to-day was long and tedious, and final adjournment was given a back sot. The session will last into August, when the campaign for nominations for state officers will be raging. The republican convention will be held at Huron on the 28th prox. Pxerry S. Heara. The Bismarck Convention, Bisnanex, N. D,, July 11.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.] —After a three days’ va- cation, taken for the purpose of giving Pres- ident Faucher an opportunity to name his committees, the constitutional convention of North Dakota reassembled here to-day. The appointment of the committees gives better satisfaction than was expected. The chair- manship of the judiciary committee is given to Judge Carland, the most distinguished democrat in the convention, and the demo- crats ure given representation on many of the other committees, The railroad people are not very well pleased with the chairman of the committee on corporations, this having been given to M. N.Johnson, an enthusi- astic farmers’ alliance man, and who for several years has been at war with the Manitoba road, However, the railroads have friends on the committee and feel confident that before the convention finally passes upon their interests conservatism will pre- vail, The chairmunship of the committee on temperance is given to Haughen, of rand Korks, and as he is & probibitionist the committee will be managed in the nter- est of the drys. During the proceedings to-day Governor Mellette, who is the last [fovurllur of the ter- ritory of Dakoua, was called upon to address the convention. He spoke particularly of the purification of the ballot. He believed that this constitutional convention should take a long and conspicuous stride forward in this direction, and suggested that the man who would sell his vote, either as & private citizen or as a member of the legislu- ture, should be disfranchised forever after, 80 that it would be impossible for him to re: peat the ofiense, He would inflict the same venalty upon the man who purchased tho o @ There is a strong sentiment in the conven- tion in favor of the one-house legislature, ‘The agitation in fayor of abolishing the upper house has been n progress but u few weeks, yet the idea is favored by nearly half of the convention.

Some cheered Sullivan, and begged him to “knock the copper out.’ Otners cried, “Hurrah for tho Nashvilie police,” “Hit hun with your club," ete. One youngster, who “was hanging on the outside of the car window, ducked his head behind the sill and infornied the crowd that tho “'cops have out their guns.” After a bricf straggle, Sullivan was taken from the car and hustled to a carriage.

Kilrain walks without assistance, but is far from frisky. Heis also badly frightened, and fears Governor Lowry iwore than he did John L. The whole story in a nut shell,” said Mitchell, “can be quickly told. Jake had no time 1o get fit, and tne sun kunocked him out. ‘The battle was fair and square and we have 0o complaints to makes” He declarcd that Kilrain was not drugged, *“The people would prefer your statement as to the fight, Jake,” suggésted tho Associ- ated press reporter, “Well, he whipped me,” replied Jake, and he did it’ fairly. I wasn't in condition, ' The truth is I had but two weeks' trainiug, The heat assisted, but I was not drugged, don't blame anybody and acknowledge defeat, I vus over confident, perhaps, but stil I think Tcan whip Sullivan, and shall try for an other go ut him.” The statement was made in a disheartened way, however, and it was clearly evident Kilrain was not over anxious for another bautle, “1 feel badly about losing the fight," said Kilrai, *but sm not suffering very much physicaily. It meant a fortune for me, 1f I won 1 need not have fought again, but now I must.” Mitchell says he will challenge Sullivan for another battle, aud Pony Moore stated he stood ready to back his son-in-law for any amount.

Peter blooay slugging g0 to-night with The Crops of Dakota and Montana in a Deplorable Condition. Towxsesp, Mont., July 11.—[Special to Tuk Ber,|—~Central Dakota and the major portion of Montana are suffering severely from drought. ¥From observation and in- quiry in Barnes, Stutsman, Kidder, Bur leigh, Morton and Stark counties, Dakota, I find that there is very little hope of raising a crop this season, No rain_ has fallen since the last week m May. Wheat fields are burned out, and the pasture ficlds are as brown and barren as in October. The con- dition of the country is deplorable. What little is to be scen is scarcely twelve inchos high, gry at the top and blighted at the roots, From the James river to the Missouri, and from the latter to the Bad Lands on the westarn border, atong the line of the Northern Pa- citic, the eye wanders over vast stretches of level country, dotted with comfortable homes and dilapidated dugouts, without scare treg or shrub to break the monoton everywhere the destructive effects of the drought are visible, Creeks and springs ure dried out, and many large ponds and lak which furnished water for stock, have dis- 4 ana o simoon of scorching heat is adding to the dostruction. There is no prospect of a hay crop, and farmers hope to save their stock by cutting the green wheat for feed. How far north or south of the raiiroad this distressing condi- tion extends I did not learn definitely, but from inquiries I infer that the drought ex- tends north into the Red River valley and south us far as tho White river, In most of the valleys of Montana a sim- ilar condition prevails. ~ Along the Missouri valley the pasturcs are burned, wheat ficlds are bare and the roots crop will not be more than one-half. Irrigation is the life of this cection, Large and small ditches carry water from the Missouri and Gallatin rivers in adaition to mountain streams for scores of miles through a beautiful valley rang- ing from one to twenty miles wide,” hedged in by mountains, The soil is rich and yields bountifully when thoroughly But this year the valley is practically burned out. ‘Nearly all the mountain streams, which have not in twenty-five years failed to make the vailey bloom and blossom, are dried up, and the country is parched and burned: These mountain streams were the depend- ence of the farmers, and they did not realize the danger and tap the Missouri until it was 100 late Lo save the crop. This'devastating drought is directly due to the mildness of last winter. The snoty fall was uncommonly light, and as a consequence the sources of all small streams and rivers have practically failed. Mountains which have been capped with snow since the pio- neers struck the country are now bare and dry, aud the rivers ‘are unusually low. Doubtless the condition of Dakota is par. tially due to the lack of snow last winter, aud the distress in that section will be much greater than in Montana. In the former the scttlers are new comers, struggling for a start, and one failure at the outset will in- lict much b ip. In Montana most of avimers are old-timers and they are well prepared to stand the loss of oné crop, the first in twenty yoars, Much anxiety is felt ockmen for the coming winter.

The special agent's roport shows that for months prior to the turning over of the collector’s office to Mr. Peters the deputy collector had been syste- maticaily pocketing moneys forwarded for stamps, making no returns of the same. The total amount of the defalcation can not yet be ascertained, but so far as footed up amounts to between $6,000 and $7,000, with additions coming in every day to swell the amount. The special agent's report also shows that Calhoun destroyed all letters containing enclosures which he reccived, simply making memoranda of the amounts for his own personal information, and that when confronted with the evidence of his guilt he confessed his crime and endeavored through his father to make restitution of the amount. — Collector Calhoun ut once made good the defalcation and pro-nised to see that the government should lose nothing, in the hope of preventing a crinunal prosecu- tion of his son.
