WALKERS FOOLISH FRIENDS

WASHINGTON, October 80, 1S95.-tsThe
change in the French Ministry may perhaps
delay the adjustment of the Waller case"
said a well informed official this morning,
ssbut it cannot affect the interests of the
Madagascar cx-consul one-half so prejudi-
cially as the ill-advised efforts of his friends
here nave done. Thrice Ambassador Eustia
has had the matter on the point of conclu-
sion and an order for Walters release has
once at least been on its way for official
certiication. On each occasion publica-
tions in New York sensational newspapers
translated into the Courier Des Etats Unis,
cabled to Paris and republished in the French
newspapers, have caused a setback. 1t is i'm
possible for any one here not familiar with
French po.iics to understand by how feeble
a tenure a French Ministry holds office. This
has just been Illustrated by the fall of the
Ribot Cabinet without a single note
of warming. A French Ministry is al
ways lettering" and the slightest dis
turbance Of its equilibrium will topple it
over. Nothing touches the French SO quickly
as a question of national pride. The mere
suggestion that the United States was dis
satisfied with the tame representations of
Mr.. Eustis and proposed 10 take vigorous
measures for Walters release utterly I'M
founded though that suggestion was). being
cabled to France, Immediately closed the
door to any prompt measures for Walters
relief.

BLOWN TO PIECES.

NEW HANEN, Conn, Oct. 80, 1896
Willie Lextion, employed in the illuminate
mixture department of the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Company, was blown to pieces
and instantly killed this morning by an
plosion. He had been at work but five
minutes when the accident occurred. The
mixture is one of the most dangerous ex-
plosives known, and whether Lextion's
slight carelessness or some such external
agency as a slight jar was responsible for
the accident will probably never be known
as he was alone at the time.
The shock of the explosion was felt
throughout the part of the city where it oc-

Lection was working was torn away. This
is the second fatal explosion in this depart

How many people we meet who plain

to know what to do. They know they
ought to take some remedy. but, winch
one to take is a question they cannot de

statements, based on personal experience
cannot fail to be of the greatest interest:
