Tor the treatment accorded Waller and the
abroeation Of the concession obtained by
him Of valuable rubber forests. Waller is
still in prison at Marseilles but may be
transferred to some civil penal institution.
The evidence in the case received &C the
state department. Is practically complete.
and it Is understood to contain some rath-
er startling facts that have not heretofore
become public Mr. Edward Tclfair Wet-
ter Of Georgia, who succeeded Wallor as
United States consul at Tamatave, it has
been claimed, did not put forth his best
efforts to extend relief Of his government
to q distressed citizen Of the United States.
1t is shown by the correspondence sent
to the state department that the French
government was suspicious that the rub
Der concession secured by Waller from
the Hovas was obtained for the purpose
OF providing coaling station for United
States naval vessels. Such an accusation
was openly made in Madagascar by par
tisans of the French.
Whether or not this belief s actually
entertained by the French au rites can
not be learned, but the documents now
on file at the state departm It assert that
after the French authorities had refused
to confirm the concession of tho Hovas.
French citizens took possession Of the rub
Der forests transferred to the ex-consul.
and that French vessels have been taking
away great quantities Of the product to
the islands of Mauritius and Bourbon.
The concession ID situated on the sea coast
in the southeast part of the island Of Mad.
agascar and affords many excellent loca.
tions for "a coaling station.

NaeoheFsf were Not Disturbed In Their
Occupation of the Land.
ARMOUR, S. d.. May 22.-The opening
OF the Yankton reservation yesterday was
not characterized by the formality and
discipline heretofore attending the open
ing Of vast bodies Of Indian lands. The
fact that the "sooners' were not prevent
ed from going upon the land prior to the
hour when lawful settlement could be
made rendered the settlement Of this res
ervation a sort Of free for all In addition
to those who had taken possession OF
claims during the past few weeks other
"sooners'' had been quietly going upon
the reservation during the previous "A
hours, while scores waited the hour when
tho reservation was declared lawfully
opened
Today the newly opened land is dotted
with the shantios Of homesteaders. and
preliminary steps toward the cultivation
of lands have been commenced. The OPEN
ing was without conflicts of serious ma
ture and was without question in this
particular the most orderly opening Of
Indian lands that ever took place in the
west. While the number Of homesteaders
who have taken land on the reservation
is very gratifying, the magnitude of the
crowd was not up TO expectations
