GEN. B0ULANGE.1 DEAD.
Ha Shaota lllmcolf an Mm. Da Dnitnr
matn'i tlrarc.
BnrssFLs, Sept. 30. General Bou
langer killed himself at noon to-day
In tho cemetery at Ixelles, a mile to
the south of the city. His body was
found on the tomb of Mine, de Bonne
mains, who had accompanied him in
his exile from France, and who had
devoted her fortune of $1,500,000 to
his career. The General's clenched
right hand held a revolver. He had
shot himself in the right temple, and
the bullet had passed through his
head.
Georges Ernest Jean Marie Boulan
per, French ex-Minister of War, was
born nt Rennes, in Brctagne, in 1837.
His descent on the maternal side is
Welsh. His father was a country at
torney. In 1855 Boulanger entered
the Military College of St Cyr, and
was made sub-lieutenant in 1857. He
served tinder Marshal Ranelon In the
Kabyle campaign. ' Ho also took part
in the Frauco-Itallan War, and was
wounded in the battle of Turblgo.
Ho was with Marshal Baznlne at
Metz, but escaped the futo of Buza
Ine's Army, and made his way back
to Paris,' He was then promoted to a
lieutenant-colonelcy by the Govern
ment of National Defense, and fought
ntChuniplgny iNov. 30 to Dec. 2i. In
18S0 he became brigadier-general.
Being appointed to the command of
the army of oeoupatlon of Tunis, Gen
eral Boultinper bad ft. disagreement
with M. Camleon, the .Resident-General,
and wao recalled. He then held
the War Office appointment of Direc
tor of tho Infantry Division, and be
came Minister of War in 1880.
f ' The Government having decided, in
March, 1888, to cashier the General
by placing him on the retired list, he
inaugurated a vigorous campaign
against the Ministry. ,
Vacancies shortly u'ter occurred In
the representation for tho Bordogne
and the Nord. Ho was returned for
the Bordogne by 59,500 votes to 35,750
polled by tho Opportunist candidate.
The General's nppoaranea in the
Chamber of Deputies, in July, 188, to
demand a dissolution of the Chamber,
gave rise to a stormy scene. M. Flo
quet made n vigorous attack upon the
General, and in the altercation be
tween them Boulanger exclaimed
"You lie." M. Floquet demanded
satisfaction, and on July 13 a duel
was fought. The General received a
deep wound In the neck. The Patri
otic League, of which he was the
head, was subsequently suppressed,
and tho General wus tried by the Sen
ate on a charge of having, while War
Minister, appropriated 10,000 of pub
lic money for purposes of his own
propaganda. He was found guilty.
To avoid arreet, he first fled to Bel
gium, then to London, where he ar
rived April 24. Tho Mme. de Bonne
mains, upon whose tomb he breathed
his last, died In that city on July 16
last, after having accompanied Gen
eral Boulanger in all his later wander
ings. In 1881 Boulanger wns appointed
Chief of the French Military Mission
to the Yorktown Centennial of the
United States, and created quite a fav
orable impression in this country.
