leading citizens Of that city, asking MI
Cleveland to secure the liberation Of ex
Consul Waller, now unjustly confined in
French prison Mr. CuIlum escorted the
lawyer to the White House and introduced
him to Mr.. Cleveland, who referred them to
Secretary OIney, who, he said, was con
Quoting the diplomatic negotiations Mrs
! Waller, wife of the imprisoned ex-Consul,
and her children, arrived in Washington
to-day and Will remain until she finds out
whether the administration really intends
to do anything for her husband. She
speaks hopefully; she is afraid to speak in
any other way, less it might make the ad
ministration still slower, but what she
thinks is another matter.
The report that the President and vice
President are not on speaking terms, which |
5 was started during the last session Of Con
gress, was revived when the announce
; ment was made that Mr. Stevenson, who
r has been in Atlanta doing the exposition
since the middle Of last week, would start
e for his Illinois home to-day, at about the
D same time that Mr.. Cleveland and his Cab
y met left Washington for Atlanta. Whether
u the two officials are On speaking terms is
Z more than | can positively say-theyprob-
= ably are when they cant help themselves
, but this is not the first time, by several,
n that Mr.. Stevenson has by his actions made
or it plain that he did not wish to meet Mr..
20 Cleveland In publle,and it is perfectly well
II known in Washington that neither of the
m. men likes the other, and that no man in
ic. public life has had less Influence with this
Mt administration than Mr.. Stevenson. II
nj has always been understood that this ques'
IS. ton Of influence was at the bottom Of the
Sc trouble between the two men. Early If
ut. the administration Mr.. Stevenson was,i /:
M said, given to understand that his recon-
an mendation of any man for office was sufi-
ov' Gent to keep the applicant out in the cold
ny and matters were not improved when MI
gn Stevenson refused to ride rough shod owe
III the rules and customs of the Senate, at Nj
on Cleveand's command, when the extr
H. session was considering the silver repe;
an bill.
