THE WALLER AFFAIR
France Will Make Indemnity
and Release Waller.

tract Ratifed.l
SPEAKS
SENATOR HARRIS


Washington, Aug. 22.-With reference to
the criticisms which have been made
from time to time concerning the state
departments conduct of the Waller case
1t can be stated that Walters friends
here are satisfied that the case is receiv-
ing most careful and Jealous attention
from the department.
Enough is known regarding the pro-
gress Of negotiations to justify the state
ment that the department is confident
they will result in the release Of Waller
with indemnity for his Imprisonment and
the restoration Of mis- property rights.
The department thinks that Walters re-
lease could have been secured before
now, but 1t was felt that this would be
accomplished at the risk Of losing the
indemnity from the French government
and the protection Of Waller and his
property rights in Madagascar. AL money
interests involved are freely placed by
one in the department at not less than
a million dollars.

ONE OF THE RESULTS.
Low Freight Rates Benefit No One but
Middle Men.

A shipping man interested in Oriental
trade was asked by a Portland paper as
to who was the most benefited by the cut
in flour rates made by the Northern
Pacific steamers, and of a necessity, met
by opposing lines. "The only person re-
ceiving any benefit" replied the shipping
man, "is the Chinese consumer and mid
die man. There is not large Touring
concern Of the Pacific coast but what has
at present many tons of flour stored
in different parts of China. This flour
was carried over there at Sc rate. The
Northern Pacific has offered to take the
same flour at 81 per ton, Mexican, and
of course the cut has been met by the
Portland line. The result Is that Chin
ese merchant now goes to warehouse
where he knows flour is stored, and asks
for quotations. The figures given him
are on the basis of a IS rate and i'm
mediately he throws UP his hands and
declares he can do better, citing the low
freight rate prevailing. This, of course,
cannot be denied, and the consignee of
the flour has either got to meet the cut
rate or, the Chinaman taking advantage
Of the present rates prevailing, orders di-
rectly from Portland. AS a matter Of
fact, the attempt Of the Northern Pacific
to drive the o. r. & N. Co.'s steamers
from the China trade by rulnously cut
ting freights, has resulted in complete
upsetting of all Oriental traffic, the Chin
ese seeming to believe that rates will be
brought even still lower, and as a con-
sequence are Withholding orders. There
is no one TO blame for this state of
affairs but the Northern Pacific. Had
that company been content with the
business they were doing at paying
rates, there was sufficient traffic to war
rant even another line of steamers, but
with the avaricious shrewdness of the
Chinese aroused 1t is possible they will
withhold future flour orders hoping for
further reductions in freights"

CETTING AN ALLEY.
MIR. Carmndy Objects to the Loss of
His Land.

MS Lana.
A bill in equity was filed today by Fran
els S. Carmody against the District Com
missioners to restrain them from taking,
using or appropriating any part of sub lots
10 and 20. square 6S4, owned by him. for
tho purpose of an alley, and also to re-
strain them from opening an alley through,
over or upon said lots or upon any part or
parts thereof.
Mr.. Carmody claims that the Commits
sioners in February last had the land con-
demned by marshars jury solely and
wholly upon the certificate of the District
health officer that the opening of the alley
through the square was necessary for the
public health. He claims also that he was
never given due or legal notice of the pro-
posed condemnation. and asserts that $40
square feet CT his land was taken without
compensation to him therefor, but, on the
contrary. benefits were assessed against
him.
Mr. Carmody prays that the Commits
sioners discover unto the court all the
records and proceedings had by them and
under their direction, and that the same
be Cancelled and annulled. Judge Cox, to
whom the matter was presented granted
temporary restraining order. returnabe on
the 9th instant.
