Madagascar, whom the French hope to

Madagascar, whom the French hope to
dispose, that fact was made pretext for
some very harsh and summary action on
the part of the French military comman-
der in Madagascar, who was egged on by
the indignant French traders to arrest
the American.
On the plea that Mr.. WALLER was an
"officious meddler' in French affairs in
Madagascar, Mr.. WALLER was captured
by the invading troops and after an al
legged 'court- martial'' was sent 10 France
TO be confined in the unhealthy jail at
Marseilles. II is now stated that there
remain no records of the alleged "trial, 4"
and that the proceedings generally
were such as would lie tolerated in no
civilized court in Christendom, as the
testimony was given by interested parties,
business rivals OF Mr.. WALLER, without
any pretense of administering the oath to
witness.
1t was evidently the intention of the
French TO put WALLER out OF the way
with as little fuss as possible. So, while
the American ex-consul was hurried
away to his dangerously unhealthy cell
at Marseilles, his property was entirely
confiscated, his wife was left penniless
in Madagascar, while her son was COM
PEELED to leave the island on the first
outbound vessel which left Madagascar
after the court-martial, although there
was no charge whatever nor even the pre-
tense Of trial in his case.
The attitude of the French Government
up to the persent has been one OF quiet
hostility TO the demand for WALLER's
release and for reparation to the ex-con-
sui and the members OF his family. The
prison conditions have affected Mr.. WAL
LER's health seriously, and unless he is
soon set at liberty he may die in the Mar
seilles Jail, and it is evidently high time
that our government should act pretty
vigorously.

WALLER.

1t is important, II true the report that
the Administration has at last taken vigor-
Gus action in the WALLER case by instruc-
| tions to Ambassador EUsTIs TO further
| press the case upon the attention
OF the French Government, and to insist
that full copy OF the record of the trial
be furnished this Government and in
event OF continued neglect 10 do this, this
Government will consider the action OF
France indefensible.
Uncle sam has long standing reputa-
tion in international diplomacy for think
ing first and taking action afterward.
The trouble with the CLEVELAND Ad-
ministration is that 1t seems 10 have to do
an uncomfortable lot OF thinking before
IL can see its way clear to act, and its action
has not usually been distinguished by
any more vigor than promptness, with the
one single exception OF the Hawaiian
case where no time was lost in hauling
down the American flag, snubbing the
government OF the Island Republic, and
taking vigorous steps to set a barbarian
Queen back on her throne.
The WALLER case is getting to be
very old story. The arrest OF ex- Consul
WALLER was the climax OF systematic ILL
treatment OF American citizens by the
French military in Madagascar. Accord
ing to the facts in the possession of the
state department at Washington, it APP
pears that Mr.. WALLER, formerly U. 8.
consul at Tamatave, Madagascar, incurred
the enmity Of some French traders. II
having been discovered that the Ameri-
can had written a letter to the Queen of
