ELECTIONS IX FRANCE. The Straggle To-Day to Be One of Life or Death for the Boulanglst Tarty. London, Sept. 21. The Paris and London newspapers devote a great quantity of space to speculation and prediction as to the outcome of to-niorrow'a elections in France. The various parties and factions which compose the voting strength ot the Kepublic have, for the moment, thrust behind them all their differences, and grouped themselves as revisionists, or antirevisionists, in readiness to contest the only issue involved in the balloting. The government and its supporters have all along scouted the idea of Boulangist success, but the precautions which the Ministry have taken against possible violence, and the strenuous efforts made to protect the election agents of the Boulangists from thoroughly canvassing the country betrays the fact, that they are more anxious than they are willing to admit. TrooDs have been concentrated jit all points where the contest is expected to be close or exciting, and every possible precaution against fraud has been taken. Tho belief most generally expressed by the press and by experienced politicians is that tho struggle will be one of life or death for lion lan ger, and in many places where the lJoulangists are hopelessly in the minority their candidates will be withdrawn. Notwithstanding these withdrawals, however, there are 1.929 candidates for the 576 seats to be filled. Paris and its suburbs have forty-two seats, and those are contested by 817 candidates, not counting General Boulanger himself and Count Dillon. There is sure to be very heavy voting everywhere, and the opinion seems to bo most general that to-morrow's election will not be decisive, but that a second ballot will have to betaken in October in more than half of the divisions. The Pall Mall Gazette, in a long article on the subject this afternoon, expresses tho opinion that nothing short of a miracle can save the Kepublic from losing ground in the contest. THE CZAR'S VISIT TO BERLIN. International Subjects to Be Tabooed An Incident Russia's Ruler Did Not Relish. Copyright, 1689, ty the New York Associ&ted Press. Berlin, Sept. 21. The Emperor will return to Potsdam to-morrow. Prince Bismarck will come to Berlin on Wednesday. Count Herbert Bismarck, all the Cabinet Ministers, and General. Von $chweinitz, the German embassador to Russia, are summoned to a meeting on Thursday. Tho assembling of political potencies is due to the Czar's coming visit, for which definite arrangements aro to be made. He will reach Kiel on the 27th inst. Although the Czar has expressed an earnest wish that his reception be as quiet as possible, and that no international subject be pressed upon his attention during his stay, Prince Bismarck appears determined to invest the interview with all possible importance. If his plans are effected, instead of a short and unceremonious visit, the Czar will be treated to a number of court banquets and a diplomatic dinner. The absence of M. De Giers, the Russian Foreign Minister, indicates that the Czar is determined to refuse Prince Bismarck a political conference. In order to emphasize his desire to avoid the discussion of foreign affairs, the Czar has ordered M. De Giers to leave St. Petersburg on Tuesday for a fortnight's holiday, which is to be spent in the provinces. The Czar's personal feelings toward the Emperor have recently been excited by an incident arising from his conferring' the order of 25 1. Stanislaus on a Bulgarian, Major Grueff, who kidnaped Prince Alexander of Battenburg, and who is now a Russian pensioner. The Emperor, at a military dinner, in the course of conversation, expressed wonder that the decoration should have been given to a traitorous soldier. Three Prussian officers who wore the decoration of the order of St. Stanislaus were present at the dinner, and heard tho Emperor's words. They forthwith returned the insignia to St. Petersburg, with a col lectively signed protest, stating that they could not wear an order that had beeu given to a mutineer. The Czar's exasperation was so intense that he demanded. through Count Schouvaloff, the Knssiau embassador here, tho punishment of the officers. The Emperor placed them under arrest for unauthorized correspondence with a foreign government, but after two days ho ordered their release. SMOKELESS POWDER. Its Advantages in "Warfare Shown In the Autumn Maneuvers of the German Army. I Copyright. 1839, j the New York Associated Tress.! Berlin, Sept. 21. The maneuvers at Han over terminated to day. The Emperor, commanding the Tenth Corps, assumed a defensive position, behind Else, on the Alfeld railway. His corps used smokeless powder. Eight Schumann iron-clad towers, armed with machine guns, figured in the fight, the plan of which involved the retreat of the Seventh Corps, firing the ordinary powder. The Post publishes a military report on the maneuvers, which is conclusive as to the necessitv of smokeless powder, henceforth, for both artillery and infantry. The corps using the smokeless powder got within two hundred yards of the enemy without the latter being able to de termine the distance, ine latter were often taken on the flank, and were unable to guess whence , the fire came. If it had been a real battle they would have been annihilated. The reports dilate upon the demoralizing and bewildering effects of the smokeless fire of the infantry upon their opponents, and also refer to the increased certainty of aim arising from the absence of smoke, and especially in the case of ar tillery. The War Office is preparing to supply smokeless powder to all the troops, including the second-class land wehr. the latest perfected smokeless powder leaves no sign alter firing by infantry, and only a iiignt gray mist aicer nnng uy artillery. General Von Blumenthal. who was sup posed to be under the displeasure of Emperor William, was present at the maneuvers to-day, and was cordially received by the Emperor. The popular demonstrations so gratified the Emperor that he told the burgomaster of Hanover that he hoped to pass several days yearly among the Hanoverians. His Majesty distributed six teen decorations.

Heavy storms have been sweeping over this country since Aug. 15, visiting different States at different times. The latest prevailed along the Pacific coast, and reports from Mazatlan and Manzanillo are that the steamers Forfirio Diaz and Alala have probably been wrecked. After a five days steady rain in the State of Vera Cruz a cyclone passed over the town of Chicintepec, causing great destruction, and, to add to the terror of the inhabitants, a great land-side occurred on the mountain back of the town, a part of which passed directly through the town, cutting A. 1 A t 1 . 1 1 ? - J t gran Bwaui inrouuu uie DUiiuings anu carrying away everything its path.

Two locomotives and ten freight cars on the Mexican Central railroad were wrecked near Tacos on Thursdav. and engineer Brandt, an American, was killed, and engineer Garcia and firemen Botena and Martinez fatally wounded. Fredicts War Between Russia and Austria. London, Sept, 21. A Russian general officer, who has been on a tour of observation in Eng land during the last three weeks, said in an In terview respecting Bulgarian independence today: "You may rest assured that war will break out between Ruaaia and Austria much sooner than is expected by the most pronounced pessimist. I believe that Bismarck will shufilo out of the triple alliance on this occasion, and Italy will come to grief. I do not think that England will be dragged into the conflict unless for the protection of her Indian dominions, but these will stand in little, if any, danger. Of course France will be allied with Russia." Ravages of Cholera in Mesopotamia. Washington, Sept. 21. Consul-general D. Lynch Pnngle, at Constantinople, in a communi cation to the Department of State under date of Aug. 30, reports a total of 1,185 deaths from cholera in Mesopotamia. Mr. Pringle says: "It is very difficult for me to obtain any Inlorruation here concerning the cholera, as we are not represented upon the sanitary board, and no news relative to the epidemic- is allowed to ne published in the local press. I am therefore obliged to address myself to my colleagues in order to obtain any information on the subject I would therefore stronelv recom mend the appointment of a delegate," In Commemoration of French Conquests.

Wentz, his (Cox's) bookkeeper, to Induce the Plaintiff to purchase an un divided one-half interest in the Crown Rollermill in this city, at a price very greatly in excess of the real value: that Cox and Wentz agreed that the latter should pretend to Gerken that the mill was worth and cost U,000, and that he

Two or three weeks ago a charter prepared by a committee authorized by the Council was voted down. The original charter faction then called an election on their char ter for to-day, again without the consent of the Mayor and Council. Gcueral Merritt again sent orders to Colonel Snyder to prevent the election, and this morning Capt D. F. 8tilcs, in command of the troops here, carried out these orders at the point of the bayonet The polls were opened earlv in the morn ing and a large crowd assembled. A number of persons endeavored to vote, when iapiam ouies nirew ms cum pan v uciusa the street and gave the command to charge. The company encountered no opposition to their progress. The leaders oi tne charter faction then- rushed to another place and declared the polls open again. Captain Stiles repeated his charge, and again cleared the streets. K. Glasgow then mounted a box, called the crowd around him and advised them to disperse, continuing, he censured the interference by the militiry. Then Captain Stilen charged the crowd for the third time, and brought tho speech to an abrupt termination. The Second ward polls were then declared open in another part of the city. Leaving guards at the places already cleared, uapt. Stiles proceeded to the new votinc place. The leaders of the charter faction, after consulting with Captain Stiles, advised tne crowd to disperse, lhe advice was followed and the excitement subsided. Nine of the leaders were afterwards ar rested on a charge of conspiring against the authority of the United, btatts and city governments. Among those arrested are Captain Hammer and Judge Brown, who are accused of inciting the mob to resistance. SOVEREIGN GRAND XODGE I. 0. 0. F.

Judge Groff, who was recently selected by the President as Commissioner of the General Land Office, was to-day shown a telegram containing certain charges against him, impeaching his Republicanism and religion. He said: "The charge that I am not a Republican is abso lutely false. I have voted for every Repub lican candidate for President, including Abraham Lincoln, in 1864, up to tho time I cast my vote for President Harrison, excepting to vote for Horace Greeley, in 1872. I have voted the straight Republican ticket in Nebraska for nineteen years, saving and excepting tho vote which I cast for my partner's father. Gen. Milton T.

BURGLARS SECURE C33,SS5, Taken from the Vault ot a Bank, Where It Had Been r laced a Few Hour Before. Hurlet, Wis.. Sept 21. One of the most daring and successful robberies erer comxnitted in the State occurred ,at this place last night between 9 and 11 o'clock, $3S,8S5 being taken from the vault in the Iron' Exchange Bank. The money ivas sent from Ashland, and arrived here about 0 o'clock last night. It was intended for the Ashland and German la mines, to payoff their men to-day. The cashier put the money inside of the iron vault nnd left shortly after 9 o'clock. The second door of the vault teas opened with a key. This indicates the work of er perts. Officers are at a loss to know which way to turn and great excitement prevails. A correspondent 6aw G. A. Alexander, agent for the express company, but ho could say nothing about the a flair. A light was left burning in the office, and a few, minutes after 9 o'clock a man was seen working at the safe, bat he had on the cashier's office coat and nothing was thought of it by those who passed tho bank. The cashier returned shortly after 11 o'clock, when he disc overed the money was missing. Active measures were then taken to find the robbers, but no trace of them has been found. The express company had no receipts for the money from the bank officials. The large amount of money sent to the mines every month is a tempt ing plum for the robbers. Another dispatch says: Every month about this time the Ashland and Gcrmania iron-mining companies pay off their large force of employes, and for this purposo Cashier Willey, of the Ashlancl National Bank, shipped nn immense enm of money to Hurley, last night, via the United State Express Company. Upon the arrival of the money at Hurley the express companr sent it to tho Iron Exchange Bank in a wheelbarrow. Between the houra of 10:S0 and 11:00 last night tha bank was entered, and the entire amount; of the shipment carried away by robbers. Only minor coin was left behind. According to Cashier AVilley'a statement $41,700 was shipped from Ashland to Hurley. Of! this $25,180 was in bank notes, 18,800 in gold and $2,540 in silver. The robbers, as there must have been more than one, had tbeir plans laid most perfectly. Like nearly every back, tho Hurley depository has a vault and a safo , inside of it with a time lock. As'hemoney arrived in town at 9:15 r. M., after the closing of the bank, the money rould not 4 be put in the safe. It wua' placed inside the vault. however, and the cashier. TV", fci. lteynolds. remained in the baclr, taking care of ticlarge treasure until 10:15 o'clock, when tk friend came along and he went out to tho theater with him. When the cashier rt turned, at 11:80, he noticed that the vault door had been opened. Looking inside, ho was thunderstruck to see that the morey was gone. A large number of silver coins were scattered all over the floor of the vault, and all was confusion. (Sheriff Mattson Tif hurriedly telegraphed to. but did not -ceive any notice of the robbery until too late to catch the train for Hurley. Kot oven the faintest clew was left br the bold burglars. The door of the vault had not been marred, and it was opened by somo one who had learned the combination. There were only two men supposed to bo in possession of it, Cashier Keynolds and Assistant Cashier Leonard Pcrrin. The exact amount stolen was $8,885. The robbers were evidently in too much of a hurry to take small silver, and $1,805 was left behind. The United States Express Company is the loser of the money. They . did not deposit it in the bank, but merely left it there for safe keeping over night, where it would be delivered to the consignee. Manager Wm. P. Lyon, of the Ashland and Germanla mines. It is likely that the express company will announce a heavy . reward for the apprehension of the burglars. AN UNLUCKY DENVER BAJ3K. Receiving Teller Alleged to Be a Defaulter for 83,000 and to Have Helped Steal 821,000. Denver, CoL, Sept. 21. It is reported on good authority that J. P. "Williams, the receiving teller of the First National Bank, is a defaulter to the extent of S,000, and has gone to Mexico. The first of last week Williams was granted a vacation for ont week, and toot his family to the mountains. The day after his departure he returned and gave as an excuse that he bad come back for some clothing which they bad forgotten. He disappeared that evening, and nothing was thought about the matter until to-day, when the bank officials received a letter from Mrs. Williams, askiug where her husband was. They became suspicious and ordered an investigation of his books, which revealed a deficit of over $8,000. Further investigation shows that the night of the day he returned to the city was spent in a disreputable resort, and that the next morning he purchased a ticket for Paso del Norte. Detectives are of the opinion that Williams is a friend of Well, who 'held up" this bank several months ago for $21,000, and that he has gone to Mexico to join him. The bank officers refuso to discuss the matter and eay there is no truth in the report. FORGED MORTGAGES, Queer Transactions of a Former Terre Ilaute Real Estate 3fan Coming to Light. EpecUl to the JnAlaoapoU Journal. Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 21. Two weeks ago the discovery waa made that B. IL Musgrave, until a few months ago a wellknown real estate dealer, had forged the county recorder's indorsement on the back of a mortgage for $2,100 upon a piece of property on which he afterwards borrowed as much more from the Rose Tolytecknio Institute, being enabled to do so because the first mortgage was not on record. The day the discovery was made, Musgrave, who was then treasurer of the B. C Clark Crockery Company, a large -wholesale house in Kansas City, left that city ostensibly to come here and explain, but really for parts unknown, some one here warning him of the discovery as soon as made. Today a mortgage for $1,000. apparently drawn by Hampton Urown. on city property, was produced at the recorder's oce, where it had never been recorded. Not only was the recorder's name forged to the indorsement on the mortgage, but the mortgage itself was a forgery. Mungrave sold this mortgage a year ago and had been rty mg the interest promptly until recently. It 11 said that more and worse is to cczia. Earthquake la Cali.rnla. ITxAU?ncRO, Cal, epL 21.
