obtained from the Hova government by
good management.
So far as this government is aware the
French protec ctorate over Madagascar is
limited strictly to the regulation of the
foreign intercourse of the Hova govern
ment, and the right of the latter to control
its internal affairs, including the granting
of concessions to individuals, has never be-
fore been questioned.
The French undoubtedly realize this fact
and it Is suspected that they have been
driven to the adoption Of such indirect
means as are now reported to oust Mr..
Waller from his concession, a proceeding
which is scarcely likely to be tolerated by
tH'e government If the facts are as repre-
sented.
AS to the charge made against him
that he has been in correspondence with
the Hovas-the officials here are at loss
to find any ground for his arrest on that
score, and assert that he has a perfect
right to do so, and moreover, they fail to
see why Mr.. Waller should not be given
the benefit of fair trial by the civil courts
instead of being subjected to the summary
methods of a court-martial

degradation or humiliation, said Judge
Cole, for that came in the verdict of the
jury.
In conclusion, Judge Cole referred to the
law of New York and Ohio in such cases,
explaining that In those states imprison-
ment was necessarily part of the penalty
He could not, said Judge Cole, close his
eyes to the fact that the defendants onense
was a most unwarranted and persistent
one, and he, therefore. felt it not to be a
case where he could impose mere nominal
fine or suspend sentence. He had, there
fore, determined, said Judge Cole, to make
the sentence one of Imprisonment, feeling
that Imprisonment in Jail for ninety days
would fully merit the requirements of the
case.
Judge Cole thereupon sentenced Chase to
be imprisoned in the District jail for that
period, imposing no fine. While the SEN
tence was apparently a great surprise to
Chase and his friends, he received the
courts announcement philosophically. and,
after receiving the consultations of his coun-
sci and numerous friends. was led to the
cage below and later taken to Jail. Deduct
ing the allowance for good conduct, Chase
WILL unless sooner pardoned, suffer i'm
prisonment until June z next. 1t is under
stood, however, that an earnest effort will
be made to induce the President to pardon
him.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, March %. Few
Alexandria, which is about half a mile
south Of this city, had it's first legal trial
this morning, when Justice Triplett had be-
fore him Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hines. charged
with assault and battery. The case was
not tried, however, as the plaintiff moved
to quash the Indictment in order that a
warrant for assault with intent to kill
might be sworn out. The whole matter has
caused bitter feeling in the town.
From what could be learned Of the mat
ter Hines claims that Clarence L. Trevest,
a Washington lawyer, while at New Alex
andria few days ago, asserted that the e
was not a decent woman in Virginia
whereupon Hines knocked him down and
was proceeding to do him up before they
were separated; and then one ]. c. Weese,
1t Is claimed, seconded Trevetts remark,
and Hines also assaulted him.
Weese then swore out warrants against
both Hires and his wife.
After the justice of the peace constable
and commemorative attorney had left, the
ladies of the town who had been insulted,
as is charged, headed by Mrs. w. Dunn and
Mrs. Harry Hines, provided themselves
fully ten minutes they rained blows on
every part of his body, not ceasing even
when his cries for mercy could be heard
for some distance.
They were prepared to do the same to
Trevett, but he had run into a house near
by for protection. When they had cooled
down he came out and apologized for what
he c'" ned was mistake, saying that he
had never made the remark attributed to
him.
1t was also charged that Weese had been
in the habit of sending anonymous letters
concerning the good character of the ladies
in the town. There is still a considerable
excitement here and the end is not yet.

EXECUTIVE. tLEMENCY.
Two Local COnvicts Pardoned and
Two Applications Denied.


Two applications Denied.
The President has pardoned Frank Ad-
ans Of Kentucky, convicted in the Dis
trict of Columbia of stealing money from
registered letters, and sentenced January
10, 1895. to two years Imprisonment in the
reform school of the District of Columbia.
This pardon was granted solely on the rep
resentation of the physician at the reform
school that the prisoner is very ill with
pulmonary troubles.
He has also granted a pardon to Jacob
Eller, convicted in the Police Court of
keeping an unlicensed bar, and sentenced
December 10, 1894. to ninety days impris-
onment and $500 fine, and in default, ninety
days additional.
In his Endorsement the President says:
This prisoner has been imprisoned for
more than three months and he is now de-
tanned for the non-payment of a fine i'm
posed, besides Imprisonment. He is in poor
health, his family need his assistance, his
pardon is recommended by the prosecuting
attorney, and in all the circumstances I
think the punishment he has suffered an
swers the ends of justice iii his case"
The President has denied the applications
for pardon in the case of Jefferson Paul
ing, convicted in South Carolina of coun-
terfeiting, and in the case of George
Chandler, convicted in Tennessee of break
ing into post Office.

The CcmnaissfOneFs Appear to Have
I - Received One Letter Today.
The board of Commissioners this morn
ing received a letter from Mr.. w. P.
Young, secretary Of the Children's Hospi-
tal acknowledging the Commissioners let
ter of the Goth instant. which suggested
the establishment in connection with the
hospital of an isolated ward where conta-
gious diseases may be treated, and stating
that the matter would receive the imme-
diate attention Of the hospital authorities.
The communication was officially in
dorsed with the words, .'Noted, G. IT,"
showing that it had come under the official
eye of Commissioner Truesdell and had
met with his approval. Seeing in it moth
ing that might sully the innocent minds Of
the people of Washington, Mr.. Truesdell,
who is the strongest advocate of the sys-
TEN of secrecy which now prevails in the
District building, officially authorized its
publication. To this end 1t was intrusted
to the keeping of the secretary to the
board, who at once hurried off with it to
the strong room in which the reporters are
kept and turned it ever to them for peru
sal.
The beautiful yellow calf bound letter
book contained nothing of the slightest in
terest to the public, so far as the news
paper men were permitted to know. All
that was done by the Mystic Order of Three
up to II 30 today was to read this one COM
munication from the secretary of the Chill
dren's Hospital.

AN EXTRA PAY QUESTION.
The Controller of the Treasury De
cidcs Against 1t.


Major H. b. Lowry. quartermaster of the
marine corps, recently asked the controller
of the treasury whether he was authorized
to pay Private w. H. Leidy, as laborer, for
work on extra duty, in charge of the pub
lie grounds attached to the quarters of the
colonel commandant' at the marine bar
racks, in this city.
In reply Controller Bowler quotes the
law relating to the employment of en-
listed men as extra duty men. for labor in
camp or garrison, and says that it appears
that the duty to be performed by Leidy
was the care of plants, shrubs, bushes, ETC.,
attached to the quarters of the colonel
containing the plants, etc, though public
so far as ownership is concerned, have been
set apart for the private use of the COM
mandant, 1t is part of the duty CT the
government to keep them in order any
more than II would be to clean the quarters
occupied by that officer. "Ou the other
hand" he says, "if said grounds are public
to the same extent as the parade grounds
and are as free to all members of the corps
as any other part belonging to the govern
ment. then it is the proper officers duty,
under paragraph 162, A. r., to keep them
in order by fatigue parties. the same as
any other part of the grounds used by the
garrison III common. 1t seems to me- how
ever, that the duty in question is not of n
military character and the soldier is not
entitled to extra duty pay

ARTlFICIAE COTTON.
1t is Made suceessfully and Cheaper
Thnn the Natural Product.

II H M0Oe successfully ana Cheaper
Thnn the Natural Product.
AS if the unfortunate cotton planter had
not enough to contend with in natural
forces, the science of chemistry has been
invoked to enter the. competition against
the great staple. hited States Consul
Morris at Ghent, Belgium, in special re-
port to the State Department. describes a
new process of mating artificial cotton
which has been remarkably successful, the
product being much cheaper than the ma
tural cotton, and possessing most of its
qualities. The basis IS wood pulp. which.
by course of treatment fully described
by the consul, is changed into pure celu-
lose and spun into thread and then woven
into cloth. 1t resembles ordinary cotton,
but has slight defect: which, however, it
will be easy to remedy--that is, it is not as
strong as the natural product 1t weaves
and works well, and can be dyed as well
as cotton. By coating it with parafine and
passing it over glass a beautiful brilllancy
may be given to it. Much greater strength
can be impaired by parchmentizing, when
it acquires semi-transparency. The cloth
wears well, has good appearance and is
strong, and 1T cannqt be regarded as n
coarse counterfeit, though it will be a
boon to persons IN, straitened circum-
stances, as they may clothe themselves at
reduced expense.

Admiral Meade has eabled the Navy De-
partment that he sailed yesterday with his
squadron from San Domingo for Kingston,
Jamaica. According to the itinerary ar
ranged for the cruise OF the North Ameri-
can squadron before 1t sailed from Hamp-
ton Roads, the vessels were to stop at Port
au-Prince, Hayti. after leaving San Do
mingo, and then proceed to Santiago de
Cuba, on the south coast of the island
Just why Admiral Msnde omits these points
in his cruise was not explained in his cable
gram, and ut the, Navy Department the Of
ficials say that he has acted in this without
specific Instructions. He is at full liberty.
however, they say, to make such changes
in the program, and their idea is that as
the squadron is about ten lays behind
schedule time the admiral is trying to
catch up by skipping some of the ports
ON the original list
Color is found for this belief in the fact
that it would not be prudent or comfort
after the early part Of next month, and so
1t is necessary to hasten the cruise.
May Have Heard of 1t.
Another explanation that finds more gen.
eral belief than this official view is to the
effect that Admiral Meade has heard of
the difficulty that has arisen between the
United States and Spain over the Alliance
affair. and is indisposed to complicate the
diplomatic adjustment Of the case by pay
ing visit to Cuban waters, that might be
construed by the excitable Spanish press
ktnto demonstration. in force intended to
coerce their government. At Kingston
also the admiral will be convenient to
the isthmus and the Spanish main, SO as
TO be in readiness to respond to any call
there may be to strengthen the forces at
Colon. consisting of the Atlanta and the
Raleigh. and to have ship or two look
into Bluefields.
The Alert.
The naval officials were much surprised
to see the report in the newspapers that
the Alert which has been stationed at Pan
anna for several weeks, had sailed for CAL
lao, Peru. They say that no such orders
have been sent to the ship. and expect that
she will remain at the isthmus until the
Colombian revolutionary troubles are set
tied and quiet has been permanently re-
stored. If the department had Intended to
send a ship to Callao, it would probably
have selected the Ranger for the mission.
This ship Is now at Buenaventura, Colom-
bia, much nearer to Peru than the Alert.

THE EGRO EXODUS
Senator Morgan Expresses His Views on
the Subject.
He Thinks the Blacks Want to Emf.
crate and the Whites Want
Them to Go.

Senator Morgan of Alabama thinks the
present exodus of negroes from the south
to Africa will increase rapidly in proper
tions, and he believes that the time will
soon come when the government of the
United States will take the matter up Of
f1cially and aid in their deportation. Al
a." he said, In discussing the question,
sis the natural home of the negro, and
majority of them desire to return to that
country. They cannot well be blamed for
entertaining that wish, for there is moth
ing in this or any other white mans coun-
try for the African race. Sufficient time
has elapsed since the slaves were emanci-
pated to demonstrate the white mans su-
periority in all walks of life, and my OBJ
servation Is that most of the negroes are
convinced already that if they remain here
they will always occupy inferior positions
and continue as of old to be little more
than servants.
Thinks They Want to Emfgrnte.
"It has been, I know, asserted that the
negroes Of this country do not want to
emigrate, but the contrary Is true. 1t is
probably a fact that some of those who live
in the cities prefer to remain in this coun-
try, and this. think, is especially true of
the mulattoes; but the large majority of
the country blacks want to get away, and
the only thing which holds them here is
their ignorance Of the means Of departure
and their inability to pay their passage.
believe that IL the means for their trans
portation could be furnished gratis q mil
lion S1ndsa half of negroes could be trans
ported to Africa in the next twelve
months"
whites Want Them to Go.
Senator Morgan also asserted that a
large majority of the white population in
the south would prefer to have the negroes
go. 1T is certain" he said, that many
of the planters. the owners of large planta-
tions, prefer to have them remain for the
reason that they favor their labor in COM
parison with certain class of whites, but
this element is in the minority, and the
poorer whites and the professional classes
in the south prefer to have the negroes
sent away. The poor man does not want
negro equality in political AFFAIRS as all
securing a more desirable class of resi-
dents. by preventing immigration. Fur
thermore, 1t is not true, as seems to be sup
posed, that only negroes can do the labor
in the southern states, an assertion which
is substantiated by the fact that the cot
ton crop of this country has increased from
a little over three million bales before the
war to nine million bales"
The Senator expressed the opinion that
Congress would take the problem of ex-
porting the negroes in hand "a, no distant
day, and said he expected that within the
next three or four years the government
would be found providing means for their
transportation.
