Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. BRUSSELS, April 5.—As cabled to the Post- DISPATCH yesterday, Gen. Boulanger is in- stalled in the comfortable Hotel Mengelles in the Rue Royale, facing the magnificent bronze obelisk in honor of the declaration of Bei- gium’s independence. The hotel is thronged with special correspondents from London, Paris, Berlin and from Copenhagen. Since his strategetic movement to the rear, how- ever, the General has become mere reserved and only admits to his presence those personally known to him. The exiled ‘‘elect’’ of a quarter of a million Parisians and of 900,- 000 Frenchmen, is installed in a magnificent suit of apartments occupying the whole front of the building. Despite the pouring rain last evening bundreds of people were standing out in the Rue Royale watching the General’s windows, hoping to catcha glimpse of him. The POST-DISPATCH correspondent, on send- 2 . N ‘= 4: (3 — 1B . * 2 * * 2 = - BS * . 2 2 Gen. Boulanger. ing up his card in the afternoon, was received by the General. The latter was standing be- side a writing table completely covered with hastily torn open letters and telegrams. He greeted the corre- spondent in his usual hearty and genial man- ner, Dut his face looked deeply furrowed and careworn. His general appearance has un- — 2 a Kreat change: during the last ten ays Lou journalists must pardon me for taking ou away from Paris, he claimed. This s not half so pleasanta place.

Indeed, our own move- ment has been branded as such. But I hope that the eyents of the last few days have opened the eyes of all the world as to who the ee really are, namely, the Minister of the Interior, Constans, and his bandit crew, who are seek- ing positions and perquisites at any price. They are determined to gag the popular voice and to bring our universal su into dis- rR and 3 „ And you think, General, at they would have attempted your life?’’ THE MOVEMENT STRONG.

All that Constans and his crew can poo? hope for is a iittle breathing spell 2 which to rob and despoil their country and then ti rush off to Cochin China, or to wherever they may have origin- ally eome from, in order to enjoy their Ul- gotten gains.’’ Here the General commenced striding with an vehemence up and down the room. Evidently the insinuations of cowardice have nettled him considerably. His piacid equa- nimity bas disappeared, and it is manifest, that he is perplexed as to his next move. He was dressed in a suit of chocolate colored corduroys, cut a like a General’s office fatigue then the hard relax as his eyes rested dainty. parasol in the corner and upon a pair of rose-scented wore which constituted the only outward and visible signs of the presence of beautiful woman, who accompanied the General from the Rue De Berri to this city. „ And will the Belgian Government inter- fere with your stay here?’’ inquired the cor- upon every reason to believe they 3 Boulanger. ‘‘Early morning cards left at the Belgian Minister’sand atthe Burgomasters’.

Davitt, who sits nextto Parnell, tells me that Parnell criedand hid his face during Russell’s description of Davitt’s life as typical of Irish wrongs. Parnell told a friend afterwards that it wasthe first time he had ever shed a tear. THE SPLIT IN — — 4 The split in Birmingham continues. Albert Bright, the Liberal-Unionist candidate, left for taly yesterday and will take no personal pase in the contest. This will increase the isgust of the local Tories who are not only not allowed to run a candidate for themselves, but are expected to support an absentee: It ro possible the beral candidate may slip in. Stanley and Emin Pasha. BRUSSELS, April5.—The report that Henry M. Stanley and Emin Pasha were marching toward Zanzibar is believed in official circles here. Surprise is expressed, however, that Emin Pasha should have abandoned the Lake Provinces. The ivory in possession of the party is estimated to be worth 3,000,000 francs. A LETTER FROM STANLEY.

Butler and Mr. Rogers of St. Cited—*‘Holland’s Factory Insp: Bill Passed—An Important Orde the Railread Commissioners. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. ' JEFFERSON City, Mo., April 5.—Senator Grath amused the Senate this morning dy introduction of a bill to prevent and pun ‘*poodlery.’’ The bill is Intended to preve the assessment of candidates for office | political committees for election purpose: The first section provides that any person o associations of persons who shall assess, de mand or receive from any candidate for an) State, county or municipal office any sum or sums of money, or who shall attempt to carry outor participate in any fraud upon such candidate in consideration of his or their influence or for money, shall be deemed guilty of boodlery and adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor. Nothing herein shall be construed to probibit candidates and others from voluntarily con- tributing influence and money for political purposes. Senator McGrath, in explaining the bill, stated that quite recently a friend and constituent of his was compelled to pay an ssment of $3,000 or retire from the tick and that another St. Louis friend, though not in his district, was unanimously deprived of his nomination for having neg- lected to pay asimilar assessment of $800. Senator McGinnis thought it a good bill and he favored its passage, and in order to favor its course he moved a suspension of the rules requiring it to be printed, which was so ordered. Senator McGrath also introduced a Dill amending the Johnson gambling act by strik- ing out the felony clause and restoring the old law as to the nature of offense by making the offense a misdemeanor punishable by fine in- stead of a felony punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary, as the law now provides. The committee on Swamp Lands will report favorably on the Mississippi Levee bill, No. 412, which has already passed the House. The bill was carefully drawn by Senator Carleton and is considered a good, bill. It asks no money from the State, but under the provis- ions of the bill contiguous territory can be organized into levee districts, a Board of Di- rectors and other officers appointed, taxes lev- ied and ussessed and contracts entered into with the Mississippi River Commission for the construction of levees againet river over- flows. This bill, if it becomes a law, will en- able the rich aljuvial lands of Southwest Mis- souri to become the garden of the State. The law will ‘be general in its effects and any county in the State can organize for protec- tion against river inundations. The bill will undoubtedly pass. THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. More of Laclede, in behalf of the Republican caucus held last night, introduced to-day the following resolution: Be it resolved that it is the sense of this House that all the remaining time of this ses- sion, if necessary,be used for the careful con- sideration of original measures now pending before this House and that the fate of such measures shall not be dependent on the re- vision of existing laws and that we will use every legislative and constitutional measure to enforce these views and pass laws having for * object the welfare of the entire peo The resolution was laid over under the rules. The House passed the joint resolution appropriating $12, to provide for a saitable display for the State at the cen in- auguration of George Washington and imme- diately reported the game to the Senate. Holland’s factory inspection bill passed tne House. It provides for the appoint:nent of an inspector of factories by the Labor Commis- sioner and prohibits the employment of chil- dren under 16 years of age, with many other restrictive features. THE RAILROAD CONFERENCE. The conference of railroad freight agents and live stock shippers and the boards of rail- road commissioners yesterday has resuited in the promulgation of the following order from the board: STATE OF MISSOURI, OFFICE OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS, CITY OF JEFFERSON, April 5, 1889. In the matter of the complaint ot sund live stock shippers — r. the method no — force on the railroads of this State of weigh - g live stock andcharging for the transporta- ‘ on of the same in accordance with such weight the Commissioners are constrained to express the opinion that the charge by weight on all commodities is the correct principle. At the same time the case presented bas pecu- liar features, chief among which isthe fact that the statutes of Missouri provide for a car- load rate and the railroads have, un til recently, carried all live stock on such basis. It the Railroad Commissioners of Missouri that from and after the 16th day,of April, 1889, the railroads of this State conform to the mode prescribed by the statutes for the transporta- tion of live stock in Missouri; in other words, thatthey resume the practice of ap by car loads as shown in their schedule force in December, 1888.
