JOHN WALLER TROUBLE

/ The customary cordial relations be.
tween this country and France have
| been undisturbed. with the exception
that a full explanation Of the treatment
Of John Waller, by the eXpeditionary
military authorities Of France still re-
mains to be given. Mr. Waller, former
" United States consul at Tamatave,
remained in Madagascar after his term
Of office expired, and was apparently
successful in procuring business con-
cessions from the HOvas of greater or
/ less value.
DEALS LIGHTLY WITH FRANCE.
Afterthe occupation Of Tamatave and
the declaration Of martial law by the
| French he was arrested uuOn various
| charges, among them that of cOmmun-
lcatlng military information to the en-
envy Of France, was tried and convicted
by a military tribunal. and sentenced
10 twenty years Imprisonment. Fol

/ dant precedents. this government de-
mani5d from that Of France the record
Of the proceedings of the French tri-
| bunal which resulted in Mr. Walters
condemnation. This request has been
compiled with to the extent Of sup

from which appear the constitution

charges as formulated and the general
course and result of the trial and by

tried in open court and was defended by
counsel. But the evidence adduced in
support Of the charges. which was not
received by the French minister of
foreign affairs till the first week in
October, has thus far been withheld.
the French government taking the
ground that its production in response
to our demand would establish a bad
precedent The efforts of our embas-
sador to procure it, however, though
impeded by recent changes in the
French ministry have not been relaxed
and it is confidently expected that some
satisfactory solution Of the matter will
shortly be reached Meanwhile Il APP
pears that Mr.. Walters confinement
has every alienation which the state Of
his health and all the other circum-
stnces of the case demand or permit.
In agreeable contrast to the difference
above noted respecting a matter of
common concern where nothing is
sought except such a mutually salts
factory outcome as the true merits of
the case require, is the recent resolu.

Of arbitration between the two coun-
tries
An invitation has been extended by
France to the government and people of
the United States to participate in the
great national exposition at Paris in
1900 as the suitable commemoration of
the close of this. the worlds marvel

tons with the friendly powers directly
concerned. In July last therefore a
dispatch was addressed to our ambas-
sador at London for communication
to the British government in which the
attitude Of the United States was fully
and distinctly set forth. The general
conclusions there reached and formu-
lated are in substance that the tradi-
tional and established policy Of this
government is firmly opposed to a forci-
bic increase by any European power Of
| its territorial possessions on this con-
| tlnent; that this policy is as well found
ed in principle as 1t is strongly support
ed by numerous precedents; that as a
| consequence the United States is bound
to protest against the enlargement Of
the area Of British Guiana in deroga-
ton Of the rights and against the will
Of Venezuela; that considering the dis
parity in strength Of Great Britain and
| Venezuela the territorial dispute be-
tween them can be reasonably settled
only by friendly and impartial arbitra-
ton and that the result Of such arbitra-
ton should include the whole contro-
versy, and is not satisfactory If one Of
the powers concerned is permitted to
draw an arbitrary line through the ter
ritOry in debate and to declare that il
will submit to arbitration only the por-
ton lying on one side Of il. In view Of
these conclusions the dispatch in ques-
ton called upon the British govern
ment for definite answer to the ques-
ton whether it would or would not sub
init the territorial controversy between
itself and Venezuela in its entirety TO
impartial arbitration.
The answer Of the British govern
ment has not yet been received but is
expected shortly, when further commu-
nication on the subject will probably
be made to the congress.
ARRESTS IN HAWAII.
Early in January last an uprising
against the government Of Hawaii was
promptly suppressed. Martial law was
forthwith proclaimed and numerous
arrests were made of persons suspect
ed OF being in sympathy with the Roy
alist party. Among these were several
citizens Of the United States, who were
either convicted by military court and
sentenced to death, Imprisonment or
fine, or were deported without trial.
The United States, while denying pro-
lection to such as mad taken the Ha-
waiian oath of allegiance. insisted that
martial law, though altering the forms
OF justice, could not supersede Justice
itself and demanded a stay of execu-
ton until the proceedings had been sub
mitted to this government and know
ledge obtained therefrom that our citi-
zenss had received fair trial. The death
sentences were subsequently committed
or were RENTED on condition of leay-
ing the Islands. The cases of certain
Americans arrested and expelled by
arbitrary order without formal charges
or trial have had attention and in some
instance have been found worthy of an
indemnity which Hawaii has not Thus
far conceded.
Mr. ThurstOn, the Hawaiian minis
ter, having furnished this government
abundant reason for asking that he be
recalled, that course was pursued and
his successor has lately been received.

CONSULAR SERVICE REFORM

In view Of the growth Of our inter-

considerable indignity provoked a
claim by Great Britain upon Nicaragua
for pecuniary indemnity upon Nicara-
qua TO admit its liability was enfOrc-
ed by Great Britains. While the SOW
ereignty and jurisdictions of Nicaragua
was in no way questioned by Great
Britain,the formers arbitrary conduct
in regard to British subjects furnished
the ground for this proceeding. A
British naval force occupied without
resistance the Pacific seaport Of Corin-
to, but was soon after withdrawn upon
the promise that the sum demanded
woulG be paid.
UNITED STATES FINGER.
Throughout this incident, the kindly
offices Of the United States were invok-
ed and were employed in favor of as
peaceful settlement and as much con-
sideration and indulgence toward Mic
aragua, as were consistent with the ma
ture Of the case. Our efforts have since
been made the subject of appreciative
and grateful recognition by Nicaragua.
CORONATION OF CAR.

proceeding imposes an inability which

EACH GIRL WORE COURT PLASTER
And So the Youth Couldn't Tell Which
Came Into His loom.

And So the Youth Couldn't Tell Which
Came Into His Room.
The young man who thinks he is going
to come out ahead in any joke in which
girl OF ordinary sharpness is involved is
sure TO find his mistake. 1t happened
some time ago in a certain college that
the dormitories Of both the young lady
and gentlemen students opened into the
same hall, says the indianapolis Sentinel.
one evening near midnight one of the
girls, who had slipped out Of her room to
enjoy secret chat with one OF the other
girls, was hurrying to her room, and in
the dark mistook the room, entering
the room of one of the boys by mistake
He was standing by the gas jet, having
just turned out the light, and when she
had found the match which she carried i'll
her pocket and started 10 light the gas,
she stumbled against him. OF course she
screamed and started for the door; but he
was too quick for her, and holding her
Tor moment, actually bit her cheek, in
order that he might be able to identify
the young lady when they next met. OF
course her wrath knew no bounds, and
when she finally reached her room she
called an Indignation meeting OF the other
girls and explained what the horrid fell
low had presumed to do. She could never
face him again, and was not going to
chapel in the morning. But then, OF
course, he would know who she was, and
she appealed to the girls to help her out
OF the difficulty. They did. The next
morning when the girl students FLED past
the boys at devotional exercises in the
chapel one wicked youth looked over the
top OF his Testament only to see pro-
cession of twelve girls, each having
long strip of black court plaster on her
lett check. He has never yet discovered
which girl he bit.
