A duel has been fought on Count Dillon's estate, near Paris, between M. Floquet, the French Prime Minister, and General Boulanger, the well-known member of the Chamber of Deputies. General Boulanger has for months past been the most prominent figure in French political circles on account of his warlike attitude toward Germany. The duel was the direct result of violent personalities used in the Chamber of Deputies, during which General Boulanger denounced M Floquet as an impudent liar. Boulanger proposed the dissolution of the Chamber, and the proposition was rejected. The General thereupon resigned his seat. During hi3 speech Boulanger said the Chamber of Deputies was falling into ruin and decay, and that the Monarchists were watching for the death agony of the Republic. He would do his duty by demanding nireom nf n rosnlnUnn that the Chamber bUt7 pt??W?W va. v? . ? ^ ask President Carnoc for a dissolution. M. Floquet reproached General Boulanger, who was always absent from the Chamber, He said it was not for a man like Boulanger to judge of its leg'slative labors and criticise hardworking members. What had Bo'jlanger done? The General replied that he had made an appeal to the country. JVI. Floquet retorted that the country had answered him in the Charente election, in which Boulanger's candidate for the Chamber of Deputies was defeated. Boulanger characterized Floquet's speech as only the utterance of a badly educated school"usher, and then branded him as an impudent liar. Boulanger then left the Chamber, and a vote of censure was pas'jod upon him, when the body adjourned. After* the sitting, M. Floquet sent his seconds to General Boulanger's house with a challenge to fight a duel. MM. Clemenceau and Perlin, the seconis, did not find Boulanger at home, but at a Paris newspaper office late at night Count Dillon and M. Laquerre acted for Boulanger, and the four umpires soon had the arrangements made for the meeting the next morning. General Boulanger was cheered by tha people on emerging from the Prcsse office at half-past 1 o'clock in the morning on his way to the dueling grounds, and he responded to their plaudits by raising his hat He drove to Neuilly in a brougham and arrived first at the place of meeting. Ho paced a walk with his seconds while awaiting the coming of M. Floquet, who arrived at ten minutes past ten o'clock. "While the seconds were expiring the garden searching for a convenient spot for the duel, M.Floquet,without betray* ing any emotion, wanted to ana iro conversing with friends. At the same time General Boulanger, with an obtrusive affectation of indifference, kept twirling his walking stick about and consuming with hia watch as though impatient to begin fighting. There was a large crowd outside the grounds. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock M. Laipant, who directed the duel, brought together the points of the swords and delivered the word of command. General Boulanger immediately made a vigorous lung at M. Fioquet, wounding him slightly on the left thigh. The combatants ? ere immediately separated, when it was found that Eoulanger's right hand forelnger was scratched In the second round Boulanger advanced with extreme violence to the attack. Fioquet stood on the defensive. The General made a desperate Junge forward, slightly wounding the Prime Minister's left breast. Unable to recover from tha impetus of his lunge, he actually ran his neck onto the sword which M. Fioquet had kept pointed straight at him. A terrible gash in the throat was the result, the blood spirted forth in torrents an l Boulanger fell unconscious into the arms of his seconds. The surgeons in attendance immediately too'c measures to Biup two uuvr L/IUUU. auu iatci uuix- | veyed him into Count Dillon's house on the estate. M. Floqnet's sword penetrated two and a h3lf inches at a point between tha jugular vein and carotid artery. The duel was fiercely fought, and lasted just four minute*. General Boulanger tried hard to kill M. Floouet, and threw himself upon him again ana aga'n. The Prime Minister^ it was easy to see, was totally unused to handling a sword, and it is a matter of the greatest astonishment that so unskilful a fencer should have been able to parry his adversary's lunges so successfully. Premier Floquet was given a grand ovation on his return to Paris. TICKETS IN THE FIELD. The Standard Bearer*? Selected by the Various Parties.

A bill relative to tho Federal control of the telegraph has been reported favorably to tho United States Senate by Senator Cullom from the Inter-State Commerce Committ.o. The bill excepts newspapers from it-? restrictive provisions, and permits telegraph companies to make special rates with them, irrespective'of the "long or short haul." In other respects the bill p'aces the telegraph companies, as to inter-State business, under the same general control as the railroads are now under the Inter-State Commerce I.aw. The general principles of the Inter-State Commerce Act, and, in many cases, the language of the act, are made applicable to telegraph companies. The report is unanimous.

Discovery of a Dynamite Conspiracy in Chicago. Men Who Stood Keady to Destroy the City Arrested, An anarchist plot of the most desperate character was revealed Tuesday in Chicago when the police swooped down upon a band of conspirators and lodged the leaders in jaiL They made their raid just in time, for the Anarchistsjiad set the murder of Judge wary, Juage unnneii, inspector rsonncia and Chief of I'olics Hubbard for the following night. At 3 o'clock in the morning Inspector Bon field, with Lieutenant Elliott and a squad of seven picked men, started for tho Bohemian quarters and Eos ted themselves outside a small frame ouse. There they were joined by a stranger who waited with them until after daybreak, when the master of the house came out into the street. At a signal fr?m the stranger Bonfield and his squad surrounded the man, and after a desperate resistance, overpowered him. He proved to be John Hronek, an Anarchist of the reddest dye. He is a Bohemian, and the leader of the group which was plotting against life and property. While Hronek was being hurried away in a patrol wagon the rest of the officers entered the house, which is of wood, and two stories high. The walls were hung with portraits of the dead Anarchists, and incendiary literature was piled upon tables and shelves. The police searched every nook and corner. They found a poisoned digger 1 and a revolver under a mattress on the first I floor, and twelve packages of dynamite, i More explosives were found in the litj tie shanty in the rear of the house. Gas pipe cut the exact length of the bombs I which were found about the city after the Haymarket tragedy, were also confiscated. In the shanty the officers found some stuff which is declared to nitro-glycerine. Small tin tubes, loaded with dvnamite and Dlueered at either end with lead, were also found. The shantywas evidently the workshop of the conspirators. A bomb mold, made of two bricks, n as found in the place, and drippings on the floor showed that the Reds had been at work within the past twenty-four hours. Then in almost similar fashion visits were made at 4'JS "West Twentieth street, where Frank Chapock was arrested, and to a hou39 in Zion place, where Frank Chibowa was also captured. Under his pillow was a knife and revolver, and upon reaching the room twelve sticks of dynamite?enough to blow up the Grand Pacific Hotel and Board of Trade?were found in a closet The plot included twenty determined murderers and they were at a certain hour after midnight to be at the houses of Grinnell, Gary, Bonfield, Captain Schaak, Frank Walker, General Stiles and others prominent in the prosecution. Dynamite was to be placed beneath the houses of these, and the powerful explosive was to be touched of! simultaneously and a wholesale reign of terror inaugurated. The Board of Trade was to be blown to the sky at the same time. Hronek kept the band small in order to secure the greatest secrecy. He laid his plans carefu ly and skilfully. Ha was something of an inventor, and devised a small spherical bomb which was filled with slugs, bits of glass, and dynamite, and was far more dangerous than the ordinary grenade. In Austria he had learned something of poisoned daggers, and his followers were equipped with these weapons as well as with the bombs and revolvers. His band was sworn to murder and to suicide in case of detection. Police surveillance of the Anarchists has never ceased. A respectable Bohemian to whom one of the weaker members of the group had given a hint visited the Inspector and Save him something to work on. In a few ays news came through the same channel that Hronek had set last Saturday night for the quadruple murder. He had been anxious to include some other victims, but was forcei to limit himself to four. Hronek was to attack Chief Hub bard and Bonfield in the lattor'8 office. Chapeck was to murder Judge Gary, and Judge Grinnell was to fall by Chibowa's hand. Each man was to carry bomb, dagger and pistol, and each was pledged to die rather than be capturoJ. All this proved too much for the nerves of the timid conspirator. A guard of detectives prevented tbe carrying out of the plan on Saturday, and then the weak man went to the police and told his story. Hronek had set July 18 for a second attempt, but Inspe.tor Bonfield was too quick for him and his allies. A CHILDJOTKDERER. Little Lin Combs Kills His Sister in the Kentucky Mountains. The most youthful white criminal ever confined in the Penitentiary at Frankfort, Ky., was taken there a few days ago. He was so childish in appearance that the officials of the Penitentiary, when informed by the Sheriff of Breathitt County that he had come to leave him a prisoner said: 'You're jesting; that's a baby, and this is no baby farm. | The boy's name is Linville Combs. He was eleven years old last March, weighs seventy nonnds and is a little UDward of four feet in fceigrht. He murdered* a little sister three years old and was sent up for life. He was asked his name and replied: "Linville Combs, of Breathitt county." Sitting in a chair twirling his straw hat in his hands, pushing back and falling forward, with his feet barely touching the ground, he looked innocent. "We lived on Troublesome (the name of a creek), a good way from Jackson. Mammy's name was Dinks Combs, and pappy's Barlow Stacy. Mammy lived with Samps Collins. There was four of us young'uns, and Nannie was tho littlest. Samps Collins 'peared to hate her, and Samps, he to'.d me if I'd kill her he'd give me a pair of boots and susspender3. She was just walking along the I floor and I hit her in the head w.th a skillet. J She fell over Into the fire, but she was dead already. I pulled her out of the fire and threw her into the creek. Tinny Campbell found j her body in the creek, and I told her how I kille.l her. I waded in and pulled her out." The little boy was quite proud of his deed, as well as ignorant of its consequences. In about a month he was arrested and taken to Jackson, where he frankly related j the story to the court and jury and was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. When asked if he didn't know he would be pdnished for his crime, he said: "What's that'!'' He was then asked if he didn't know , he did wrong in killing bis sister and ought i to be hanged for it He replied: "No. I just killed ber.

Queen Natalie, the divorced wife of the King of Servia, was notified Thursday night by the Berlin police that she must place j bor son in the hands of those ordered by the j King to bring him to Belgrade. The Queen j refused, and declared that she would never part from her boy. She was then ordered to leave Germany. When the Queen received noflce from the police that she must part from her son she telegraphed to King Milan imploring him to allow the boy to remain with her another { month. The King, however, was incensed I at the abrupt manner with which the Queen had refused his conciliatory proposal for mediation, and telegraphed back to the Crown Prince's tutor that the boy must not remain with the Queen a d ly longer. I In obedience to the King's behest an officer and twenty po'icemen entered the villa at Berlin occupied by Queen Natalie at ten I o'clock Friday morning and soon reappeared j with the young Crown frince and a lady of | honor. Both were bundled into a closed carriage and handed over to King Milan's plenipotentiaries at the railroad station, where a train was waiting. Th" party at once boarded the train and started for Belgrade. The Queen had planned to Ilea with the boy, and with this intention had ordero 1 a special train. She failed to state her destination and the authorities refused to give her the train. JOurxxo June the Philadelphia Mint turned out .$3,8-0,00;) in gold, silver and minor coins.

THE NEW CENSUS, Cost and Provisions of the New Bill as Passed by the House. The bill providing for the eleventh census, as it passed the House, differs somewhat from the measure which was reported from Mr. Cox's committee, and also from the census bill of 1879. The publications of the tenth census numbered twenty-two volumes; the eleventh census will include only such publications as shall relate to population ana social statistics relating thereto, the products of manufacturing, mining and agriculture, mortality and vital statistics, valuation and public indebtedness. The bill placed the maximum cost of the census at ?0,000,OCO, exclusive of printing, engraving and binding, but the House changed the amount to $1,000,000, with the understanding that this would be all that is needed to expend before July I of next year and that the remaining $5,000,000 could l:e appropriated during the next session. The last census cost, including printing, about fo,800,000, and excluding printing about $4,800,000 or 9)-^ cen ts per c apita. Mr. Cox estimates that the cost of the eleventh census per capita will be about 10 cents. His present bill economizes in the range of work, and in the publishing, but it provides for a larger staff of employes, made necessary, he says, by the increasing population. Mr. Cox estimates this increase at about 15,000,000. The census bureau will include, by the provisions of thi3 bill, a superintendent at a salary of $!i,000 a year, a chief clerk at $2,500, two stenographers, ten chiefs of division, and a disbursing clerk at $-.000, ten clerks of class 4, twenty of class 3, thirty of class 2, with such number or cierks of class 1, copyists and computers of salaries of not less than $720, nor more than $1000, as may be tound necessary for the proper and prompt compilation and publication of the census. Besides this staff of bureau employes there are to be not more than 175 Supervisors of the census appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, who shall divide their districts into subdivisions most suitable for purposes of enumeration, designate the enumerators, one for each subdivision, and be responsible for the work of the enumerators in their districts.

HOW A FORK WAS HEMOVEQ FROM A MAN'S STOMACH. f ??| The Patient Placed Under Mesmcrid Influence?An Opening Made in 7 Hfs Side, and the Fork Removed Without Trouble. A New York letter to the Cinciwttt Enquirer furnishes the following detail of a wonderful surgical case: Michae Malone, an humble gardener, living ii Flushing, L. I., is mainly responsible for the resurrection or hypnotism an< establishing it on a basis where it wil compel the best medic al thought to b# expended upon it to develop it? useful;: ness. Malone is a young man, and lui " the reputation of being an expert am& teur performer of slight-of-hand' aia otherftricks. Sword-swallowing wa? hif favorite pastime. Ia order to aad to thp interest and danger of this trick he ram stituted a fork for the sword,and carried it with him for U9e when suddenly called upon to display his expertness. Malonj has a fondness for a cup that inebriate! as well as cheers, and while under thi influence of stimulants in a country bar room He gave an exhibition of for*! swallowing. There was not any humbug about it this time. It was a genuine4 case of swallowing. The delusion " wail so perfect that the spectators wentf alarmed when the fork passed from' view; no more so, however, than Mft^ lone himself, who, when he tried ttf withdraw the fork, found that it had passed out of his reach. After a sh&rji but tempestuous journey the fork wait safely anchored. in Malone's stomach? Malone consulted a physician, and waft told that there was a chance that the forlf would become encysted in the stomachy and give him no trouble, and he deter* mined to await devel p nents. It was mt a long wait. Inside oi a week he waft? shut up like a jack-knife most of AMI time with cramps and convulsions, Thft; abdomen bccame greatly swollen. - A rrfost dangerous complication: lay in the fact that the esophagus was the seat of sudden ana t em tic muscular contraction* during which Malone was liable to diS at any moment from suffocation*. - . .; Dr. Carlisle was called ia consultation, advised an operation for the removal of the fork, ana the patient was removed 0 St Vincent's Hospital. The preliminary examination revealed a dangerouf heart trouble. And so well defined that it precluded the use of ether or any! other general anesthetic. This gave the case a hopeless aspect, and but for. 'an unexpected development Malone would! have been in his grave to day. Thd' usual combination of mirror* was used to< deflect the light into the patient's throaty the larger one being held close to hi|( face. The mirror was removed in Jest than a minute, and when the docto^ handed it to an assistant he was greatlr surprised at seeing the patient jump oat of bed in a vigorous manner and follow the glass. Dr. Carlisle had often ai*J sisted Prof. Hammond in his publicexhibitions, and knew what it meant.; The patient was hyphotized and it aug?j crested to the astute surereon the possH bility of operating on iFalone while in this state. The patient seemed well ano strong, and he was subjected to several tests. He smacked his lips.over a piece of alum when told that it was sugar. He was told that a vase was a young woman, and he kissed it with more force than elegance. It was suggested that a knifi was a candle, and his arm was cut with* out his showing any sign of pain. A shoe was said to be a dagger, and he stabbed an imaginary enemy several time? in the heart. These and several other tests indicated that the hvpnotfr; condition was perfect. He came out of it in about an hour and fell into a natural sleep. : The operation was performed on the following day?eleven days ago.,; H? was brought into the hypnotic conditio! by holding a mirror close to his eyes foi about thirty seconds, and was completely under the surgeon'* control. "Now," said Dr. Carlisle to Malonej,j "you will have a long dream, fall of bliss, happiness and enjoyment." ' * A serene expression spread over the A.Z 4)- t Ka'? m paticiit a intc, auu oner tuiuovv on his right side &a incision was madq in the left side, about an inch and 4 half from the costal margin through the abdomipal wall. Hooks were employed to open the wonnd, and the stomach was seen to be greatly distended- Thj tines of the fork had already coma through the stomach and rested upon the intestines. An opening was made into the stomach, using the tines as a guide, and the fork which had become covered with a thin membraue was* speedily removed. The patient bled freely and it took a long time to jriclc up the arteries and to free the abdominal space from the blood and liquid whicn had escaped from the stomich. The aperture in the stomach was stitched to the abdominal wound as a precautionary measure, the condition of the esophagus, A i >1 * MI> 4?

H During the operation the patient didfl not indicate that he felt any pain. Hisfl mind was kept in a pleasant mood by theS suggestions of the surgeon, and when itfl was all over the surgeon said to him thafcH he seemed to have had a good time, andfl he replied that he had never enjoyedfl himself better. His eyes were wide openjH most of the time, and he saw what wa^| going on, but the simple suggestion ofS the suigcon rendered him incapable ofiH associating pain and injury together andl made pleasure take the place of agony. B The shock was greater than if ether hadfl been used, but was finally overcome.H The patient is in fair condition at present. He is fed regularly through the hole inl his side, as food taken naturally causes &H spasm. This will pa*s away in time, andH Jlalone will I.e as good as new. 9 The field opened up by this operationH is unlimited and will now be persistently? investigated, and when hypnotism ii^H bettor understood it is believed that itfl will take the place of anesthetics in al-fl mnof niioptr nnpmfinri Kvervonc can bc^H XXJirOV V.VIJ V|#V*W..?M. - _ put into a hypnotic state, it' is coi^H lidently asserted, if the proper influence? can be brought to bear, and experimental are now being conducted to find outwhajH th's influence must be.
