THE WALLER CASE.
The United States to Make Sharp and De-
 cisive Move.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The case of John l.. Waller ex-consul of the United States at Tamatave, Mad agascar, and now in prison in France, has assumed phase that jus tifies the government in believing that Walters confinement is nearly ended and that he will soon be restored to liberty. It can be stated on the highest authority that the only reason why Ambassador Eustis has not been instructed to de- mand Walters immediate release is that such a course might weaken the claim for indemnity which the United States proposes to make against France for the eonfscation of the rubber concession in !. :, x. t gsEcar. The. president and Secre- tary Olney are now thoroughly satisfied that Walters military trial was not con-

Montgomery. Aug. H.--(Spccia1) )-The following is sclf-eXpla natory:
 State of Alabama,
 Office of the Attorney General
 Montgomery, Aug. 16, 1895. Hon. John PurifOy State Auditor
 Dear Sir: Your inquiries in regard to an act entitled An act to dispose of lands which have been or which may hereafter be sold for taxes and bid in for the state, and which have not bean redeemed or purchased from the state" acts lS94-95 page 433, are before me and l beg to say as follows.
 In my opinion section of the act found on page 43S of the acts 1S94-95 con- templates no such thing as an additional or supplemental list of the lands sold for taxes to be sent by the auditor to the various probate judges. The enactment practicable after the 1st day of January in each year to forward a list of lands which had, by operation of law, been sold for taxes, and had been held by the state for more than two years prior to the is- suance of such list. I do not think that you are required to forward instanter notices that such and such piece of land has passed the limit. My idea is that the legislature contemplated the sending out of such a list once year immediately after the first of January embracing the lands sold for taxes whose limit expired some time during the preceding year. Otherwise you would be required to con sume time and pa Hence in making par tial reports-a course which is tatal to harmony and accuracy. My view of this is strsn4thened by section of the same act which provides for a certain fixed day upon which all those lands so re- ported should begin to be sold.
 ?. am further of the opinion that the time for the publication of these lists means the three weeks next preceding

HEADING FOR A CRIsIs.' St. James Gazette Alarmell at the Canal Sit

London, Aug. 21.-The St. James Ga- zette in leading article asks the ques- tion: How does England stand with the United States in regard to the Near aguan canal?"
 Pursuing the subject the paper adds: Tt would be well for MT George Curzon, under secretary for foreign affairs, to put the question in the house of commons and obtain a clear answer. As far as can be seen we are heading straight for the crisis and there will either be diplo- matic deadlock between the two coun. tries or an English surrender of impor- tant treaty rights"

All for Somerville.

Judge II. M. Somerville's friends here are very enthusiastic about the propo- sition to have him appointed to the va cancy on the supreme bench of the United States. Judge Somerville made a magnificent justice of the state su- preme court and nowhere was his ad- minstration there more fully appreciated than in Montgomery. It is probable that some systematic effort will be made from here to impress MT. Cleveland with the fact that all Alabama would rejoice to hear that Judge Somerville had been, se- lected by him to wear the judicial ef.nipe of the nations highest tribunal.

UNION PACIFIC NO. 8 ROBBED
.NEeR USED AS A STALKING HORSE

Gothenburg, Neb., Aug. 214JJnion Pacific train No 8, the east bound over land flyer, arrived here at 3:1O this morn ing with the passengers in a state of great excitement, the express car shat tered by dynamite and riddIed with bull lets and the trainmen badly scared. The train was held up and robbed by bandits in curve way between Brady's island and this place at l o'clock this morning. The train was delayed about two hours
 The robbers Tagged the train and when 1t stopped they cut off the engine and ordered the engineer to accompany them to the express car. He was ordered to open the car with a crowbar, but failed nhe robbers then exploded several dyn- amite cartridges against the car door, blowing it open and reducing the ex- press messenger to submission. The safe was also blown open and it's contents taken. It is not known what booty they . secured.
 The robbers. when they took the engi- neer from his engine, left the fireman on board unguarded. He took advantage of his liberty and left the place as fast as the engine would go.' When the ban dits saw the locomotive disappearing they realized that assistance would soon be on hand, and they hurried along with their work, which was not so thorough as it otherwise would have been. They undoubtedly overlooked much valuable express matter.
 Uponthe arrival of the fireman with the engine at this point posse was hastily organized and returned to the scene of the robbery. 5s.es
 The road agents had disappeared, how ever, and the train was brought into Gothenburg, leaving the posse to await daylight before taking up the trail of the robbers. It is believed they are few in number, as they would not otherwise have left the fireman unguarded.
 Aside from soaring the passengers by the volleys of pistol shots no one on the train was hurt or moleslted The express messenger refuses to make any statement as to the extent of the robbery, and the trainmen know nothing, The. posse which is in pursuit of the robbers is well armed and thoroughly acquainted with the coun- try, and it is certain that the bandits will be captured or killed during the next twenty-four hours. The train proceeded eastward at o'clock.
