CONSUL WALLER'S CHANCES.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED
But FOR HIS FRIENDS.

said a well informed official this morn
ing. but il cannot affect the interests
Of the Madagascar ex-consul one-half so

his friends here have done. Twice Am
bassador Eustis has had the matter on
the point of conclusion and an order for
Walters release has once. al least, been
on its way for official certification.
on each occasion publications in New
York sensational newspapers translated
into the Courier des Etate Unis, cabled
to Paris, and republished in the French
newspapers. have caused a setback. 1t
is impossible for any one here not IA
miliar with French politics to under
stand by how feeble a tenure a French
ministry holds office. This has ust been
illustrated by the fall Of the Ribot cabi-
net without a single note of warning. A
French ministry is always lettering and
the slightest disturbance of its equilib-
rum will topple it over. Nothing touches
the French so quickly as a question
of national pride. The mere suggestion
that the United States was dissatisfied
with the tame representations Of Mr..
Eustis and proposed to take vigorous
measures for Walters release utterly
unfounded though that suggestion was)
being cabed to France Immediately
closed the door to any prompt measures
for Walters relief. If his friends or
those who assumed to be his friends,
had kept quiet he would have been free
man months ago There are facts and
letters in the record Of the case which
give the French government a technical
right to hold the man under French laws
and make the presentation of his case
from an international point OF view quite
a difficult matter. This might be over

We're allowed to subsde.
Mrs Waller has been notified by Secre-
tary Olney that he will listen to any

the matter than any other state depart

be checked. one side Of one Of the
handsomest residence blocks in the city
was completely wiped out The entire
fire department, consisting Of three first
class steamers, a chemical engine, hook

it looked Ike half the city would go,
but the firemen fortunately stopped the
progress of the flames. The damage
amounts to between $4,000 and $4,000,
with insurance of $3.50. The girls
school was an old wooden structure, two
stories high. The insurance upon the
building was $500.

CUTS IT'S FARE TO FIVE CENTS.
The Consolidated Railways of At
Ianta Go Back to the Old Rate.

Atlanta, Ca. Oct. SO.-The Consolidated
Street Railway Company. which created
much unfavOrable criticism at the OPEN
ing Of the exposition by raising the fare
to the grounds TO ten cents, has been
forced to make a permanent cut to five
cent fare, which will be inaugurated to-
morrow. The double fare of the ConsoG-
dated resulted in the establishment or
several lines of buses to the exposition
grounds. These vehicles played havoc
with traffic, the Consolidated getting only
such passengers as could not be crowded
into the Omnibuses. The result was thar
the street cars were run most of the time
without passengers, and seeing a heavy
loss staring them in the face if the ten-
cent. rate was maintained, the company
determined to go back TO the old five-cent
fare which was in force before the open
ing of the exposition. The defeat of the
Consolidated, whose action was largely
responsible for the reports of gOuging on
every side that were sent broadcast over
the country, is highly gratifying TO the
