An American Citizen Court Mar
tailed and Transported in an
Illegal Manner.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-News
has reached here that the French
authorities in Madagascar have
put United States Consul Waller
aboard a steamer bound for France
and under guard. He is under sem
tence OF twenty years imprison-
ment on charge Of being a spy in
the interest OF the Hovas in NADIA.
gascar, against whom the French
have been waging war, sentence
being imposed by court martial.
While this action by the French
cover nment will only add to the
amount Of the indemnity it will be
called upon to pay should Walters
friends show the charge upon
which he was sentenced to be base
less, it will still facilitate the eff.
forts Of the state department to
fully develop the facts in the case,
as it can now communicate direct
ly with United States Ambassador
Eustis, instead of being obliged to
adopt the tedious course Of action
through the inferior circular
oDcer In Madagascar, out OF reach
by cable communication.
Eustis will be instructed to make
most thorough examination Of
the facts attending the punishment
of this American citizen. He will
also make a special examination
into the legality, under the treaty
stipulations, of a trial OF a citizen
OF friendly nation by court mar.
tial, instead OF by the regular civil
tribunals, as is customary and per-
haps absolutely essential.
Moreover the case may involve
the right Of France to exercise ju-
risdiction over the internal affairs
OF Madagascar from which she ap-
pears to have been expressly ex-
cluded by the treaty of 1885, which
gave her only jurisdiction over the
foreign relations of Malaga scar.

Crazed by jealousy.

PORTLAND, Ind, April 20.-A
fearful triple tragedyiwas enacted
at Camden, twelve miles from here,
last night. The affair took place at
WalliEg's dance hall, where dance
was progressing. Harry Black, a

because Friday Poke had accom-
panied another man to the ball,
threatened to kill the woman,
when Otto Hagenfus, also of Mont.
pelier, stepped in to settle the quar-.
rel ond was fatally shot in the
neck by Black. Black then fired at
the girl, the ball taking effect in her
leg. Following her up, Block fired
at her again, killing her instantly.
The murderer then turned the pis-
tol on himself, dropping dead
across the body Of the girl. John
Dolan, by-stander, was also fired
at, but was not injured, though one

Consistency, a Jewel ?

In the series OF questions propounded

meeting, of which G. G.. Braden is the
head, front and tail, number II asks:

den is a sidewalk contractor. 1t is equally
well known tina: he works his men ten
long hours and pays them 81. 25 per day.

Income Tax Decision Monday.

WASHINGTON, April 20. - The
general expectation is that the Su-
preme court will not postpone its
decision beyond Monday, on the
application Of Messrs. Heide & Pol
lock for a rehearing on the income
tax cases. This opinion is eX-
pressed by those who are very near
to some members Of the court. II
there should be a written opinion,
it would necessarily be brief, aud
the chances are that the decision
will be bare announcement.
The general opinion of attorneys
most familiar with the practices Of
the court is that the motion will
not be granted.

would never dream Of finding in
Mexico, and the equal OF which
Ifor splendid cooking. have
never before tasted, Everything
is so well seasoned, the spic-
ing so delicate, except that
in almost everything there is an
excess of Mexican pepper. AS we
sat down to the table, we received
our plates, dish of light bread,
bowls with chile colorado or red
pepper sauce, and other condi-
ments. Then came the roast beef;
deliclously prepared and very
juicy. Contemporaneously with
the beef there was served sort of
green salad, called "aguacate.r A
servant removed the plates and set
new ones. Pork and potatoes were
served. This over, chicken served
with all the delicacy OF native
spices. Then came large green
Mexican peppers stuffed with
chopped meat, fresh covers being
set for each course. Throughout
the meal a woman servant kept the
trail between the table and kitchen
hearth hot, serving warm tortillas
and removing the cold ones. / may
have changed my mind as to the
tortilla, but | must say that these
were splendid ones indeed, thin
and as crisp as cracker. A course
consisting OF plate of beans fol-
lowed. 1t is always the last thing
Of a substantial repast. Then fol-
lowed the fruits. Such as could not
be secured fresh, were served
canned, and thus we had pears,
peaches, figs and "tunas," the lat
ter being the fruit OF prickly
shrub. Coffee and cake were served
as dessert. OF course this was spe.
cial meal, but it shows what a
home among the higher class OF
MeXicans is like. ,.4->--.r
A STAGE MIsHAP.
Early next morning we re-en-
tered our swinging stage coach and
for two more days drove over the
forsaken country. We were still
the only passengers and attempted
to hibernate during all that dreamy
time. We did have little variety.
Five miles from Jacatosa or some
such ranch the stage broke down
again. For while we were in an
awful worry. The driver wanted
to leave US in the stage while he
rode ahead to the ranch for tools
and aid. or course we would not
stay in the stage out in that desert
all alone without any protection,
aud we gave the driver to under
stand In our command of Spanish,
thatNwe would ride to the ranch
and leave him alone. For some
reason the, driver did not want to
stay there Ivy himself, and so all
three of us decided to ride the
stage mules to bic ranch and re-
main there until the coach was
fixed. We did not look very digni-
fed, as we came riding up to Ran
cho Jacatosa on the backs OF the
harness covered stage mules, but it
was better than staying in the
broken down stage coach all alone.
Fortunately, after the lapse OF
several hours, the coach, fully re-
paired, was driven up to the
ranch, we re-entered and late
in the following night reached
Sierra Mojada, where relatives of
my companion received and for
several days treated us most royal
ly. After seeing all that there was
to be seen in Sierra Molada, we left
for Escalon, an interesting little
place at the junction OF the Mexican
Northern aud Mexican Central rail-
roads where where we are looked
to spend the next few days.
In my next l will tell you some
thing about Sierra Mojada and Es-
Gallon. CoNCHITA.

A tragedy occurred at Mountain
City Saturday afternoon. T.G. Gross
white, while intoxicated, shot and
killed James Ferguson, colored. The
killing occurred in j. s. Mitchell's
store, and to all appearance was cold
blooded murder.
Crosswhite and Ferguson had had a
difficulty some time previous to the
fatal meeting, but had, it is said, be-
come friendly. Without provocation,
Crosswhite pulled his revolver and
commenced firing as soon as he and
the negro met. He fired three shots.
One shot pierced Ferguson's heart,
the second went through his chin aud
cut his neck, and the third entered his
shoulder.
Crosswhite was Immediately arrest
ed and placed in jail. His preliminary
hearing will take place on the 10th

against him, even his near relatives
condemning his act and pronouncing
it nothing short of cold-blooded MUIR
