7 HE CASE OF WALLER
Difference of Opinion Between the State
Department and His Friends.
The Kansas Delegation Insist His
Release Should he Demanded
n Right.

1t Is understood that the State Depart
ment is disposed to adopt the opinion that
cx-Consul Walters liberation can be secured
only as a matter of clemency on The part of
the French government. 1t is said that the
department inclines to the view shat Waller
committed an indiscretion which places him
at the mercy of the French. This view is
said to have been pressed upon Walters
family. Mrs. Waller is personally ready
to make any sacrifice to secure the liberty
OF her husband, but others who have inter-
ested themselves in the case declare that
1t is not case where plea for mercy can
be thought Of. The Kansas deles alton, near
ly all of whom are now in Washington the
Senators included, insist that Waller's re-
lease as matter of right must be demand
ed. They all unite in this view, saying that
the question of the dignity of this country,
not the individual interests of the Waller
family alone, Is involved, and that the State
Department should not for minute contefn-
plate asking for clemency, but should close
the issue at once with a demand that Wal
Ter be released or that it be shown to our
satisfaction that the conviction was proper
one.
If nothing is accomplished by the State
department before that time, the matter
will probably be brought up in Congress
soon after the session begins.
Can't Have the Record.
The State Department this afternoon re-
cefved a dispatch from Ambassador Eustis
saying that the French government had re-
fused to furnish the record in the Waller

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, November 20
When court reconvened yesterday after
noon in the trial of r. ID. johnson for
Grant Zufalrs murder, Samuel Young. a
detective, testified that he heard Annie
Davis accuse Johnson of having been with
Zufall ON the evening of the supposed muir
der. Johnson called her a liar and said ::
Il don't give - whether Zufall is in the
ste We, under the ice or in HI. and would
not get him out with my little finger if
cculd.'
Peacock and James, the men who caused
the arrest of Johnson. both testified that
tEey were in John Yastes saloon Christ
mas eve between IL and Il o'clock, and
that they saw Johnson pick up club and
strike Zufall upon the head. Zufall fell to
the floor, and johnson, putting a SO bill
upon the bar, walked out.
Witnesses were put upon the stand by
the defense who swore that Peacock was
with them in Berryville, Va, or the night
cock participated in a Christmas eve Sun
day school entertainment
Witness IS will be put upon the stand this
afternoon by the prosecution who will
swear that Peacock was in Cumberland on
that date.
This morning witnesses testified that
johnson was not in the Yaste saloon at
IL 80 o'clock Christmas eve, when the mur-
der Is supposed to have been committed
but was seen in the restaurant of Henry

MIR. BLACKBURN's: PLANS.
Who Will Oppose Him If He Runs for
Congress-.

1t is said that Senator Blackburn is now
seriously considering the question of run
ring for Congress iE the eleventh district
of Kentucky next year. Mr.. Blackburn has
been in Congress for twenty years, and has
always been in political life, having served
In the legislature of his state before he
was sent as Representative to Washing
ton. Now that the seIatorship is slipping
from his grasp the question arises how he
will remain in public life.
But there are good many people who
think that Mr.. Blackburn should consider
well the question Of running for Congress
in view of the peculiar condition in his dis
trict. He would have both Representative
elect Owen and Mr.. Breckenridge to oppose
him, and IL is now thought that in view of
Mr.. Breckinridge's ardent advocacy of
sound money that he may become a for
midable candidate when Mr.. owens sue
cessor is to be elected. His energetic work
fer sound money in Kentucky made him
many friends. and there were evidences
that he had overcome to some extent the
effect of the Pollard scandal. Undoubtedly
Mr.. Breckrridge calculates upon comm &
back 10 Congress two years hence, and if
Mr.. Blackburn should aspire to the demo-
cratic nomination he will find vigorous
opponent in Mr.. Breckenridge.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Mr. BabcOck Believes the Sentiment
Will De Sustained by the PeODle


Representative Babcock of Wisconsin,, who
was chairman of the republican congression-
al committee in the last congressional cam
paign, and who has been charged by his
colleagues with being responsible, in
measure, for the big republican majority in
this Congress, is in the city and getting
ready for the winters work in the House
Mr.. Babcock is very much concerned in the
Monroe doctrine and the Nicaraguan canal
question in addition to the interest which he
takes in other questions of state and polity
and has some vigorous ideas upon the Mon
roe doctrine.
THE Monroe doctrine has come to be an
unwritten law" said Mr. Babcock to Star
man today, "and believe that the sentiment
will be sustained by the people of this coulI-
try II 1t is carried out as originally intended
by Mr.. Monroe. There is a possibility how
ever, by following the advice of dema gogues
or pervertins and distorting the Monroe
doctrine until 1t loses the semblance of its
original intention and is disavowed by the
people of this country
This could happen by the United States
becoming 100 officiouS and intermeddling
in every little affair In Central and South
America where European government
may seek to maintain its proper and right
full position. But whenever a European
power endeavors to acquire territory upon
the western hemisphere either by purchase
or by force OF arms or in any other way
We should declare the Monroe doctrine 10
be In force, and maintain the declaration
by every means within the power of the
government That is a stand which the
people of this country will indorse, and in
my opinion, will go to any length to main
tain.
Il have always been an advocate Of the
Nicaraguan canal project. and now earnest
ly In favor of any proper and fair measure
which will bring the Atlantic and the Pa
cific together by the construction of the
canal"

FLAGAL WAYSFLOATS
No Matter if the President is at
Wocdley.
WORKING HARD ON HIS MESSAGE
The Document Expected to Be
Long One.
FOREIGN COMPLICATIONS

Heretofore the display Of the national
flag from the roof of the White House
meant that the President was there, and
it was never raised unless the chief execu-
tive was actually in the capital Conse-
quently its absence from the executive flag
staff was in the nature of official notice to
the public at large that the President was
not in the city. This rule has now been
amended so that the flag is displayed when
ever the President is anywhere in this
vicinity, regardless of whether he is actual
!y in the White House or not. The flag was
down the entire summer while the Presi-
ient was at Buzzard's Bay, but since his
return it has been raised regularly every
day, regardless of whether the President
was at Woodley or was fishing or hunting
in any of the netghboring states. Conse-
quently the White House flag has lost its
former significance.
The Executive mt WOOdley.
1t floated proudly over the Executive
Mansion as usual today. when as matter
of fact the President was not there at all.
He is devotng himself assiduously to the
preparation Of his message to Congress,
and in order to prevent the possibility of
interruption he is doing his work in the Sc
clusion of his cottage on the Woodley road.
Until it shall be finished it is not likely that
he will spend any time at the White House
between row and the meeting of Congress,
except when his presence is needed at the
Sc semi-weekly meetings. of his cabinet-Tues-
days and Fridays. Judging from the
amount of time and attention already de-
voted to the preparation of the Presidents
message, the impression has obtained that
ii is likely to rank as one of the longest, il
not one of the ablest, of the state papers
of President Cleveland.
Light ON Foreign Affairs.
1t will undoubtedly be most important
document as it is expected to throw a much
desired light on the policy of the admins
tration on the Venezuelan, Cuban and Turk
ish complications as we'll as in the matter
of the conduct of the domestic affairs of the
country So far. the only information OBJ
tanned by the public in regard to the action
of the administration with respect to our
foreign relations is such as has leaked out
irregularly from subordinate officials, or
else has been obtained from foreign sources
not always of the most reliable character.
1t is expected that the Presidents message
will set at rest all doubts and delusions as
to the character of the foreign policy of the
administration, and will show whether 1t
has been as firm and vigorous in character
as has been represented.

HEAVY GOLD SHIPMENTS
The Balance Lower Than at Any Time
Since Last February.
Secretary Carlisle Said to BE Confer
No Bond Issue Likely.

The treasury gold balance is now down to
about SS6OOO,O0O, which is lower than it has
been at any time since the issue of bonds in
February last. Nearly 5000, 600 in gold was
withdrawn from the New York subtreasury
yesterday. and was sent to Europe on the
steamers that left port today. 1t is said
that Sl,OOo.OOO of government gold has been
engaged for shipment abroad by tomorrow's
steamers. The recent heavy drain on the
government gold balance is undoubtedly a
matter of grave concern to treasury officials
but they, one and all, pretend to feel no
special fear anxiety over the situation
Their apparent complacency over the situn-
ton is due to their expressed belief that the
foreign shipments will not continue very
much longer and that the gold lost in this
way will gradually return to the treasury in
the regular channels of business.
Conference In New York.
Secretary Carlisle remained over in New
York today for the purpose, 1t Is said, of
comforting with the financiers of the metrop-
oils as to the financial outlook and the best
method of guarding the treasury gold bal
ance without issuing more bonds.
A prominent politician said today that the
address made by Secretary Carlisle at the
chamber of commerce banquet last night
was disappointing in one respect, inasmuch
as beyond advocating the retirement of legal
tender notes he advanced no proposition
calculated to improve the general 1inan-
cial situation, nor did he indicate how
the present volume OF currency was
to be maintained or increased in the
event Of the retirement of the green
backs. There is an impression that he
was purposely silent on these important
points in order not to forestall the recon-
mendations to be made by the President in
his message to Congress for the solution of
the troublesome currency problem.
No Bond Issue Contemplated.
Notwithstanding the continued steady loss
of gold, it is still asserted at the Treasury
Department that there is no Immediate pros
pect of bond issue, and that such action
will not be considered while the balance re-
mains above the $75,OOO,OOO limit, and not
even in case it should fall to that figure un-
less Congress fails to take cogn.Z9uce of the
situation at least to the extent Of providing
some other method of maintaining the na-
tional credit by the protection of the gold
balance

THE DISTRICT ESTIMATES.
Secretary Cnrlisle Will Submit Them
to Congress Without Revision.


Secretary Carlisle has accepted the esti-
mates for the support of the District gov
ernment for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1897, as prepared by the District Commits
sicners, and they will therefore be sub
mitted for the action Of Congress in their
present shape. Under the law these esti-
mates require the consideration of the Sec
retary of the Treasury before their sub
mission to Congress, and it is within his
power to modify them in any manner he
may deem necessary to the best interests
of the government. In the present in
stance he will follow the course pursued by
him last year. and forward the estimates
to Congress just as they were prepared by
the Commissioners, without the change of
a single item, with an accompanying note,
saying that he has been unable to study the
merits of the various items, and therefore
submits them whole as prepared by
the officers having full knowledge of the
subject, without either approval or disap
prOyal

No Need of a Record.
Fires Today.

This morning about IL o'clock an alarm
of fire turned in from box 513 called the
fire companies to No. 921 18th street south
east, the home Of Mrs. Kate Weeks, where
the explosion of a gasoline stove had re-
sultec in the painful burning of Elizabeth
Dicenger's left arm. There was very little
damage done to the property.
Two hours earlier an alarm of fire was
sounded from box IA. This was sounded for
fire in the house of George w. Hall, No
POI street. where improvements to the
house are being made. 1t is thought that
the fire started from the stove in Mr.. Halls
room. The firemen succeeded in confining
the flames to the upper part of the house
and the loss u estimated at about 81, 900.
