NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DECISION.
Question of Imprisonment of Parties Con-
yicted by Consular Courts.

Question of Imprisonment of Parties Con-
Victed by Consular Courts.
WASHINGTON, August 18th. = The At
torney-General has decided that Captain
Duvergier, who was convicted at Tamalave,
Madagascar, of killing Consul S;anwood at
Audakabe some time ago, cannot legally
be brought TO this country to serve out his
sentence of ten years.
There are no means of combining DIVER
gier at TamGtsye, and 1t WIS found neces-
sary to take him away from Madagascar TO
confine him. The Attorney. General saws
he would be liable to release on writ of
habeas corpus if brought here.
During former administrations, prison.
ers sentenced by Consular Courts in the
Ottoman Empire were brought to the
United States for confinement, but the At
torney-General explains that this was done
only when the prisoner had been sentenced
TO death and the President had used his
power of making conditional pardon, and
committed the sentence practically in that
way.
In the case of Captain Duvereier re.
course may yet be had to a similar device,
which would result in his confinement ia
the niied States for term less than ten
years pardon being extended for the re-
mainder Of the time, thus imposing the
necessary condition; but meanwhile offi-
Gals OF the State Department are not with.
out apprehensions that the prisoner may
by his escape avoid any official solution of
the problem
The State Department is much interested
in this matter. ss the increasing number
of trials and convictions in Consular Courts,
especially in the islands of the Pacific. where
there are limited means for the contine-
ment of prisoners, msy render some new
rule of law necessary.

NIGHT IN A CEMETERY.
A Grave-Digger Locked Up in Vault
with Several Corpses.

n "lhNC-DiSssCE LOChtu Up u vault
with Several Corpses.
PHILADELPHIA, August 17th.-Last night
while party of young people were walk
ing under the shade trees skirting Lafay-
cite Cemetery they were startled by a
number of cries issuing from the center of
the burying ground. Itwas only about 8
o'clock, and although there were twenty
persons about none of them could muster
enough courage to go in. The young mems
faces were white and the girls were sobbing
with terror.
Finally number Of the drawer youths,
guided by sound, made their way between
the graves to a vault near the center OF the
cemetery. The vault top rises only few
inches above the ground, but there are a
number of holes piercing the sides,
and the Investigators peered in. For
some time they could see nothing,
then one of the watchers discoY-
cred the outlines of a moving form, and
another piercing shrek rent the air. Sat-
lsned now that the thing was a ghost, the
young men sprang to their feet and ran like
the wind for the street. The mystery was
not explained until this afternoon, when a
policeman passed that way,
Just as he reached the vault in question,
he noticed the white face of man living
on the floor inside. He promptly broke
in the door and found James N. Clarke,
one of the grave-diggers, in a half-con-
scious state, leaning against the side of the
vault.
He is young man, and his hair, which
was black the night before, had turned
gray, and it was some minutes before he
could talk. Then he said II came into
the vault yesterday to do some work.
There are seventeen bodies here, and as
entered the door closed with bang, and
saw was caught. The door has spring
lock and opens only from the outside. At
first laughed, but as no one came to my
relief soon quit that, When night came
was thoroughly frightened. There was
no fun in the prospect of passing the whole
night in narrow vault with seventeen
corpses. Then l shouted for help, but no
one came. / must have tainted, for when
| opened my eyes the sun was shining.

Drager were brought into Court to day to
receive their sentence of death for the Sec
ond time.
The prisoners are much thinner than
when first incarcerated, but showed no sign
of fear or concern. When Olsen was asked
if he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed, he replied no.
On Drager's being asked if he desired to
say anything, he said he had never hurt a
child, nor killed anybody, nor ever had
any desire TO do so.
Judge Williams recapitulated the cir
cumstances of the killing and the connec-
ton the defendant had with it, as he said,
to show the defendant that if be was an
innocent man that he would not surround
himself with such circumstances as to lead
any un biased mind to believe him guilty.
They were sentenced to be hanged Octo-
Der 10Th.
1t is said the defendants counsel will
make another effort to have the Governor
commute their sentences.

Congress at the Chamber of Deputies
Thursday night At o'clock Carlisle was
met by committee and escorted through
a brilliantly ighted'chamber to President
Disz.
Carlisle spoke for half an hour. He as
sured his hearers that it was not the inten

their earnest wish to develop trade with
Mexico, and to that end he wished that the
nation would develop wealth and power
as rapidly as possible
The President of the Permanent Com
mittee made complimentary reply.
