spicious one. Car loads of horses have
been arriving from Washington and points
in the south and west, and late yesterday
afternoon a consignment of eighty-eight

IN BEHALF OF WALLER,
Mr.. Jones Brings II Petition to the
President From Illinois.


Mr.. John G. Jones of Chicago, who Is
now in the city attending the meeting of
the Ancient Arabic Shrine and who has
been retained by the Illinois Protective
State League, which has taken much in
terest in the Waller case. intends today or
tomorrow to call on President Cleveland
and lay before him a petition signed by
Mayor Swift of Chicago. Ex-Governor Ham
ilton of Illinois, the judges of the various
courts in Chicago and a large number of
leading citizens, asking the President to
take prompt action to secure Walters re-
lease and reparation for the wrongs he
has suffered.
The paper is as follows:
Eve, the undersigned citizens of the city
of Chicago, respectfully petition your ex-
cellency TO take immediate action for the
release of John L. Waller. now imprisoned
at Marseilles, France, under an unjust and
unlawful edict of a French military court.
The arrest and Imprisonment of John l..
Waller by the authorities of the republic of
France is the concern of every American
citizen. When a citizen of the United
States is arrested and incarcerated in
prison by a foreign power 1t is the duty of
the American government, without delay,
to speedily inquire into the cause of such
Imprisonment and inform the public as
speedily as the interest of the public serv-
ice will permit.
1T has been stated that Mr.. Waller an
American citizen, while domiciled at NADIA
gascar, was found with arms on his person,
and that fact is the basis of his arrest and
conviction by court-martial, organized by
the commander of the French troops, then
on the Island of Madagascar.
1T is not claimed that Mr.. Waller has
been tried for any offense against the laws
of Madagascar, or that he has been tried
by civil court.
Your petitioners submit that If these
facts are true it is the highest duty of the
government at Washington to afford its
speedy liberation and reparation for the
wrongs and injustice he has suffered.
1.-The government of the Unitep States,
representing about 100000 souls, cannot
afford to neglect it's citizens when sojourn-
ing in foreign countries. The power of
this great nation must be felt and respect
ed by every foreign country if American
citizenship is to be valued"

George w. Taylor, chief of the fire de-
partment of Guthrie, Okla, has submitted
to Secretary Wheelock of the Florida Ath-
letic Club proposition that the citizens OF
Guthrie will deposit $4,000 cash 10 guarantee
that there will be no interference with the
Fftzsimmons-Corbett fight if held there.
They propose to move the amphitheater from

of the result. Prof. Ames and the others
present refused to say anything.
Prof. Ames and Capt Brewer returned
to Cambridge from New London late last
result OF the conference with the Princeton
foot ball managers. 1t is thought from this
unexpected reticence on the part of the Har-
ward men. as we'll as from .he tact that the
conference lasted over SIX hours, that some
hitch occurred over the settlement of rules
and that the question will have to be sub

CAN CARRY ARMS.
The New Orleans Collector and til

The New Orleans Collector and the
Steamer James WOOdall.
The Secretary of the Treasury and the
Attorney General have Endorsed the action
of the collector of customs at New Orleans
in the case of the steamer James Woodall,
which vessel the Spanish consul had COM
planned was about to carry munitions of
war to Cuba, in violation of the neutrality
laws. In a report to the Treasury Depart
ment in regard to this case the collector
says:
Whatever arms or ammunition OF war
she may have carried, 1t seems evident that
the Woodall did rot convey any expedition
airy force from her place of departure. Bal
timore. In my opinion, the vessel has not
violated any of the sections of the Revised
Statutes relating to neutrality, even If she
did carry arms and ammunition to the
Cuban coast. Under the decisions referred
to- 1 do not think that this office has au-
thority to seize or even detain the vessel
except for a limited period If her papers
are regular, even should she be loaded with
arms and ammunition for the insurgents in
Cuba, provided they were not associated
with an expeditionary force; and the ship
nlent OF 4 crew proportioned to the size of
the vessel and necessary for her proper
navigation would not seem to me to con-
stitute an eXpeditionary force. Any one
engaging in such business, of course, for
fcits his right to protection by our govern

ish war vessels. Blockade runners, whether
British or American, took the same risk
when they ran the blockade from Nassau
and other ports during the late war. It
may be well to recall at this point that the
Geneva tribunal gave awards for the dam
age done by armed cruisers fitted out in
England, but / am not aware that any
damages were ever awarded for the acts of
blockade runners, and the enormous serv-
ices they rendered the confederate cause.
Unless otherwise instructed by the
department., l shall not refuse clearance or
interfere with the Woodall If she takes a
cargo of any character whatever, even IL a
portion of 1t should consist of arms and
ammunition. but before issuing her papers
or returning her certificate Of registry,
which is now in possession of this office,
shall promptly notify both the department
and the Spanish consul that the vessel Is
about to DEPART
1t. therefore, appears that the collector Is
merely to notify the Spanish consul of the
clearance of vessels with munitions of war
and it will then remain for them to keep
clear of Spanish warshps, which would
certainly be on their track upon the first

Blackie and the MAGICIAN.

Many years ago ''the Wizard of the
North" gave some performances in Ed
inburgh, and Professor Blackie was one
OF the crowd who went to see them. AS
he Was making his way in he felt some
thing at his coattail, and putting his
hand into his pocket he found an egg.
This he took out and most adroitly
transferred it to the pocket Of young
man just in front Of him, person as
unlike himself as Can we'll be imagined.
Arrived in the hall, he remarked where
this young man placed himself and
chose his own seat in corner as remote
as possible. When the time came for
wizard" Anderson to s'trouble'' him
for the egg, he arose and explained that
he had nothing of the sort in his pocket,
but that he believed THAT gentleman
could produce it, pointing to the aston
ished young man, whose surprise, how
aver, by no means equaled that of the
wizard. M. A. in London News.
