The Case of Ex-Consnl waller

WASHINGTON, August 2s.-It is prob
able that no further action will be taken
in the case Of ex-Consul Waller until
his statement taken by Newton B. B..
Eustis and Mr.. Alexander Is received
and examined. 1t is stated that the
case then will be a purely legal one and
that the action OF the department will
depend upon the lawfulness OF the
French military court and its acsions
and the legal status of Mr.. Walters
conditions. The statement OF Mr.. Wal
Ter is also to be compared with the stste-
ments OF Consul Wetter, at Tamatave,
who has made report to tho depart
ment of facts gathered by him in NADIA
gascar.

1873 you demonetized silver, and John
G. Carlisle said so. You destroyed the
unit of value. Tell these people why
you Republicans did is. Your talk
about ON international agreement is q

In whose interest did you demonetize
silver? It was In the interest of for

nation. The statutes that existed up to
1878 must be restored"

THERE Is always q speck of trouble
visible somewhere in the international
horizon between the United States and
Great Britain, but fortunately nothing
more serious than an interminable mass
of correspondence has cvme from any
OF them since 1915, when General Jack.
son, at New Orleans, demonstrated that
Americans could fight very we'll when
fairly warmed up to the work. The very
latest OF these alleged dangers to the
peace of the two countries Ia said
to be the question as to the
boundary OF Alaska, that cold
strip Of sterility purchased by Sec
rotary Seward in 1867 from Russia
for about seven million dollars. 1t is
commended that the British surveyors of
the line between Canada and Alaska
have included territory which certainly
belongs to the United States; but as this
country will also make survey II will
be in order for our surveyors to 60 SO far
into Canada as the British have gone
into Alaska, and when the final agree
ment is reached it can be done by con-
ceding to each nation the territory
claimed by the other, which would be q
safer and more equitable way ofsettling
the boundary dispute than going to war
about territory which will be valueless,
comparatively, for many generations to
come.

In appealing to France and Russia to
use their offices with Great Britain for
modification of the latter's aggressive
attitude regarding Armenia, the sultan
OF Turkey is jumping from the frying
pan into tho FIRE. England has kept the
Russians out Of Constantinople for m any
years from motives OF self interest of
course, but her friendship should be
none she leas desirable on that account,
since the integrity Of the Ottoman en-
pire is thereby Guaranteed; whereas
Russis'a regard for Turkey is entirely
like the love of the fox for the rabbit.
