Prehistoric FoO;nrInts.

An Austrian student, Herr Low,
who has been travelling in Central
American, has recently obtained and
forwarded to the Imperial Museum in
Vienna twelve large stone slabs bear
ing footprints in the solid rock. The
slabs were taken from the quarry over
Lake Managua, in the territory OF
Nicaragua. These footprints had
been overlaid by eleven different lay
ers of stone, extending to a depth of
four metres, and indicating an anti
quity for our race quite transcending
all conjectures hitherto hazarded.
They are about three-quarters of a
metre square and are sunk into the
stone to q depth of from eight to ten
centimetres. The footprints are said
to be very conspicuous and seem to be
those of three distinct persons, one OF
whom was q child. To what race or
to what age they belonged no one yet
has ventured TO guess. New Orleans

Uncle sam VIII Protest.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Nothing has
been heard officially at the State Depart
ment of the reported sentence by French
court-martial in Madagascar of ex-United
States Consul Waller to twenty years
Imprisonment for corresponding with the
Hovas. II is expected that if this report
is well founded, either United States Consul
Campbell, at Mauritius, or United States
Consul Wetter, at Tamatave, will promptly
cable the news to the State Department.
If the circumstances are as reported it
is entirely probable that our government
will enter energetic protest against
this arbitrary action of the French au-
thorities. Mr.. Waller is a citizen of the
United States and not a French subject,
and the officials here cannot conceive by
what color of authority the French court
martial attempted to assert jurisdiction
over an American citizen not actively
engaged in hostilities against them. The
ex-conSul has many friends in this country,
some of whom are influential. He was con-
sui at Tamatave during the Harrison adj
ministration, is man of excellent business
qualities, and it is well known here that
the French concessionaires in Madagascar
have been doing their utmost to prevent
him from enjoying the fruits of the valuable
concession which he obtained from the
f1ONaS government Dy SOOu management.
So far as our government is aware the
French protectorate over Madagascar is
limited strictly TO the regulation of the
foreign intercourse of the Hovas govern
ment, and the right of the latter to con-
troll it's internal affairs, including the grant
ing of concessions to individuals, has never
been questioned before. The French un-
doubtedly realize this fact and it is sus-
pected that they have been driven to the
adoption of such indirect means as are
now reported to oust Mr.. Waller from
his concession, a proceeding which Is
scarcely likely to be tolerated by our gov
ernment if the facts reported. AS
to the charge made against him, namely,
that he has been in correspondence With
the Hovas, the officials here are at loss
to find any grounds for his arrest on that
score and assert that he has a perfect
right to do so and, moreover, they fail
to see why Mr.. Waller should not be given
the benefit of fair trial by the civil courts,
instead of being subjected to the summary
methods of court-martial The u. S. S.

DENVER, Col, March 23.-Philip J.
Green, whose sly-rocket performances in
New Orleans have attracted attention all
over the country is in Denver. He says he
has been confined in Chicago several weeks
by illness. In consultation with friends here
he stated that he had quit the banking
business in New Orleans on account of ex-
cessve taxation. According TO his state
ment, the authorities notified him that his
taxes the first year would be $4,000. AS he
had only $4,000 deposit and the outlook
for business was not rosy hued as it
appeared last December, when he decided
the part of wisdom to let go. He claims
to have paid all depositors in full and if
any suits were filed 1t was for rent or in
suraEce. both of which he declares he will
meet as they fall due. Green spent two or
three years in Denver and Colorado, and
when he left for New Orleans he carried
gilt-edged recommendations. According to
his stories he worth $1,O00, 600, the
larger part of the money being invested in
government bonds.
