THE WALLER MATTER.
A French Paper Beiittles 1.-THE State



Paris, Aug. oS.-The Figaro this morn
ing declares that the Waller affair is un-
important; that Waller was only an Amer
lean consul through accident; that he
never did well. and that his consular coll
leagues. in addition 70 the natives, shun-
ned him. The Figaro adds: Nothing
serious can result in the negotiations re-
Earding his condemnation for he is not
worth the trouble. The Castine incident
Is more serious, but any formal complaints
should come from France and not from
America. which is entirely in the wrong.
Moreover. the American newspaper cam
paign in this connection is nothing but an
engine of election warfare, without i'm
portance for us, and aimed more against
President Cleveland and Mr.. Eustis."
Washington City. Aug. SIT is proba-
BILE that no further action will be taken

statement taken by Newton ID. Eustis and

Mr.. Waller is also TO be compared with
the statements of Consul Wetter, at Tam
atave, who has made a report 10 the de-
partment OF facts gathered by HIM IN
Madagascar. There is yet wanting copy
of the record of the arrest and conviction
OF Waller, which record the French gov
eminent has promised. If II is not forth
coming. the case will be that much strong
er against the French government. II
II has not arrived by tho time the de-
partment is prepared TO act on the case.
as promised to Consul Wetter and Mr..
Waller. the probabilities are that the
French government will be asked to re-
lease the ex-consul at once and TO indem-
Nifty him for the wrongs he has suffered.

Disruption of Chinese six Companies.

San Francisco. Aug 2s.--The fractional
fight that has been going on for some time
in Chinatown between the See Tup and
Sam Yup families has eliminated in the
disruption OF the Six Companies. the most
powerful organization ever instituted by
the Chinese in this country. All the efforts
of Consul General ii Yung Yew and other
prominent Ciiipese 10 bring about a settle
ment of the differences have resulted in
failure and the Chinese minister at Wash
ington City has announced his intention Of
coming 10 San Francisco and trying his
powers as a peacemalser. The secession of
the See Yup Company from the Sir Corn
panies leaves the latter with the small end
OF the organization and depleted treas
ury. The boycott started by the See Yups
has nearly ruined the Sam Yup merchants.
and If not ended soon will cause the retire
ment from business of A large number OF
firms. The boycott is not confined to this
city. but Is being extended to every place
in the United States where Chinese reside
in any number.
