Case Against Attorney Mitchell, of Man dan, Falls Through for Very Sufficient Reasons. MANDAN, Dak., Aug. *22.—The charge of embezzlement against Maj. T. J. Mitchell was thrown out of court by Judge Rose and the prosecution not al lowed to give any testimony.

BETWEEN IT AND THE TRIUMPHANT ELECTION OF BOULANGER THE PEACE OF FRANCE AND GER MANY 18 IN JEOPARDY. The Freuch Believe That William's Utter* ances Are a Direct War Challenge, While the German's Look Uneasily on fioulanger's Renewed Popularity—Seri ous Storms in Austria—New President of the Orange Free State—Foreign Af fairs. LONDON, Aug. 22.—(Copyright.)—The triumphant election of Gen Boulanger has for (he moment overshadowed in im portance even the intemperate speech of the German emperor at Frankfort, and little is talked of but that at the French capital. His success has surpassed the expectations of the most extravagant of his friends and has heaped confusion upon his enemies and given the lie to the confident political prophets who pre dicted his ignominious defeat. While, however, the friends of the doughty gen eral are jubilant over his victory, they do not permit themselves to forget the sen timents expressed in Emperor William's unfortunate address, and this feeling is shared by large numbers of persons who are not included among Boulanger's ad herents. Even a great many Germans are understood to deplore the expressions to which their ruler gave utterance. In Paris the most charitable opinion as well as the one most prevalent' is that the young kaiser was so far under the in fluence of intoxicants when he delivered his speech that in ordinary circumstances he should not be held accountable for his words, but so palpable a challenge to a neighboring nation as that issued by the ruler of Germany is regarded as requir ing a more lucid explanation than any of the kaiser's apologists have as yet vouch safed. Meanwhile the Germans profess to consider erery move of Gen. Boulan ger toward prominence in his country as a direct menace to the fatherland. A very large portion of the inhabitants of France are disposed to regard the gen eral's success as much more dangerous to the peace of the republic than the wel fare of tbe empire beyond the Rhine.
