ARBITRARY FRANCE.

Washington, July 22.-The negotia.
lions with the French government re-
specting the case of ex-United States
Consul Waller, who Is now under con.
flnement In French jail at Marseilles,
are In Il most satisfactory shape, and
this, too, In spite of the best efforts Of the
department eXerted through Ambassa-
dor Eustis to secure justice for Waller.
1t is becoming evident that II anything
Is to be accomplished 1t will be only by
the display of a much more determined
stand than has yet been assumed by our
government. Letters received here from
the prisoner show that he is still sick
man, suffering from congestlve chills,
and much weakened and dcbllitated
from his confinement and the change in
climate.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear upon the state department to induce
1t to secure justice for Waller, and
many prominent men have Interested
themselves In the case The two senators
from Kansas, of which state Waller Is a
citizen, have been particularly energetic,
and Senator Martin has called In person
at the state department to urge prompt
action.
The department some time ago In
structed Mr.. Eustis, our ambassador at
Paris, to make a thorough Investigate N
of Walters case, TO see him and procure
a copy of the record of the court martial
showing tho evidence on which Waller
suffered the extraordinary severe SEN
tcncc of confinement for twenty years.
The ambassador has not been very sue
ccssful in executing his instructions,
though 1t appears that he has done all
in his power to carry them out.
The French government has absolute
ly refused the ambassador the right to
see Waller personally, n very extraordih-
AIRY attitude to assume where the rights
of an American citizen are concerned.
Then 1t has failed so far, TO supply the
ambassador with the desired copy of
the court martial record, In order that
our government might satisfy itself pf
the sui,icicncy Of the evidence on whiclt
| Waller was convicted.

In by the postmaster. and In answer
to questions, said that the missing

The postmaster went to the mouse

On the floor of the kennel, torn into

passage had blown the letter about; the
puppies, naturally enough. had
pounced upon 1t as plaything and

Mr.. Baines, who tells this story In his
Forty Years at the Post ONCE" adds
another equally good. A merchant
complained Of the loss Of q letter
mailed from his office containing some
hundreds of pounds In Bank of Eng

Post Office Department called upon
him.
