GONE TRILRY MAD

Two postofiices have been named Trilby
since that craze set in, and the postotiice
officials believe that there will be forty
four such offices before the fad dies. One
is Trilby. Franklin county, Ohio, and the
second Trilby, Schuyler county, Ill. 1t is
not an Objectionable name, and was given
the offices on petition of the people patron
izing them. The department does not
pass ON the appropriateness of a name,
but upon its eligibility. If it does not
conflict with another office, if the name is
not too long and it is not liable to be con-
fused with another office when the name
is set down in writing, then the certificate
of name will be likely to issue. No objcC-
ton can be urged by the postotlice depart
ment AGAINST the name Trilby.

NO OEFICIAL NEWS.

Washington, March 23.-Nothing has
been heard officially at the state depart
mcnt of the reported sentence by French
court martial in Madagascar of eX-United
States Consul to 20 years Imprisonment
for conspirin= with the Hovas. 1t is ex-
pected that if this report Is well founded
either United States Consul Campbell at
Mauritius or United States Consul Wet
ter at Tamatave, would promptly cable
the United States department. If the
circumstances are as reported it is en-
tirely probable that our government will
enter an energetic protest against this
Iarbitrary action Of the French authorities
Mr.. Waller is u citizen of the United
States and not a French subject and the
officials here cannot conceive by what
color of authority the French court mar
tial attempted to assert jurisdiction over
an American citizen not actively engaged
in hOstilities against them. The ex-consul
has many friends in this country, some of
whom are influential. He was consul at
Tamatave during the Harrison admins
tration, is man of excellent business
qualities, and it is well known here that
the French have been doing their utmost
to prevent him from enjoying the fruits
of the valuable concession which he OBJ
tanned from the HOva government by
good management. So far as our gov
eminent is aware, the French protec-
tOrate over Madagascar is limited strictly
to the regulation of the foreign inter-
course of the HOva government and the
right Of the latter to control its internal
affairs, including the granting of conces-
siOns to individuals, has never been ques-
toned before. 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 adopted
to GUST Mr.. Waller from his concessions,
Il proceeding which is scarcely Likely to be
tolerated by our government if the facts
are as reported. As to the charge against
him, viz, that he has been in correspon-
dencc with the lIOvas, the officials here
are at a loss to find any ground for his
arrest on that score and assert that he
has perfect right to do so and, moreover,
they fail to see why Mr.. Waller should
not be given the benefit of a fair trial
by the civil courts instead of being sub
ectcd to the summary methods of court
martial.
The United States ship Castine is now
on her way to Madagascar to look after
American interests, having arrived at
Ismaili in the Sucz canal today.
Washington, March 23-ExC Consul
Waller is colOred man from Kansas,
born in Missouri in slavery. He was one
of the slaves coniiscatcd by the Federal
troops in 1862. He is an attorney at law
and at the time of his appointment prac-
ticcd law in Topeka. He was prominent
in politics, being an elector for President
Harrison in 1888. He is spoken of very
highly as a man well read in law and of
good habits. He had the best OF applica-
ton papers when he was appointed by
President Harrison ut Tamatave in FEB
