The Ex-Consul Arrives In France to
Begin His Sentence.
{WAS NOT ALLOWED TO WRITE
Alleged Charges Against Waller—Japan
Thinks All Nations Should Be Grateful
For the Concessions She Has
Exacted From China.
MARSEILLES, April 23. —--The case of Mr.
John L. Waller, formerly United States
consul at Tamataver-island of Madagascar,
who was recently sentenced by a French
court martial to imprisonment for 20 years,
and who arrived here on Saturday last on
board the steamer Djemnah, is attracting
considerable attention, in view of the fact
that it has been announced that the United
- States embassador at Paris, Mr. James B.
Eustis, has been instructed to inquire
into the matter. Mr. Waller was manacled
while on board the Djemnah, between
Tamatave and Majunga, on the northwest
coast of the island of Madagascar. But
from that port on he was allowed to take
two hours’ exercise daily on deck guarded
by a soldier. Upon arrival here he was
lodged in jail, and it is reported that he
will eventually be imprisoned on the island
of Corsica or on the Safety isles. _
During the voyage Mr. Waller spoke but
little, although he frequently asked to be
The French
ofiicials declined to grant his request on
account of his refusal to agree to show
them the letter he intended to write. When
before the court martial, Mr. Waller, it is
claimed, refused to speak in French, and
the services of an interpreter had to be em-
ployed during the trial.
Mr. Waller’s nephew, who is 25 years of
age, is said to be implicated in the proceed-
ings which led to his uncle's arrest, trial
and condemnation, and the young man
was condemned to expulsion from the is-
land of Madagascar. He embarked as a
second class passenger on board the Djem-
nah, but landed at Zanzibar without hav-
ing been able to communicate with his
uncle. —
For the present Mr. Waller is incarcer-
ated in the prison at Fort St. Nicholas. at
this port. It is thought probable that he
will again be called upon to appear before
a court martial. Otherwise it is believed
that he will be transferred to_the Central
prison to undergo his sentence, if he is not
taken to the island of Corsica or to the
Safety isles, both these places, as already
mentioned, having been selected, accord-
ing to report, for his incarceration.
. The Alleged Charges.
PARIS, April 23.—The correspondent of
The Temps at Tamatave, island of Mada<
gascar, states that Mr. John L. Waller,
formerly United States consul at that place.
was indicted'on two charges—namely, vio-
lation of an order of the French admiral
governing correspondence, and, secondly,
writing to the enemy. The evidence, the
correspondent adds, showed that Mr. Wal-
ler intrusted to an officer of a steamboat a
bulky letter which was posted at Natal,
and which was addressed to “M. Tessier,
Merchant, Antananarivo, via Vatoman-
dry.” Unfortunately, it appears, the Eng-
lish mail was not dropped at Vatomandry,
but was landed at Tamatave. where the
bulky, sealed envelope attracted the atten-
tion of the authorities, who opened it and
found that it contained particulars regard-
ing the strength of the French garrison,
the number of sick, the importance of
the outposts, etc. The envelope, it is fur-
ther stated, also contained -an lnclosure
addressed to Mr. Waller’s friend, E. Un-
derwood Harvey, editor of the Madagascar
News. asking the- latter to insert it in that
paper. This inclosure, it is stated, con-
tained abominable calumnies regarding
the conduct of the French soldiers on the
island of Madagascar and denounced two
of Mr. Waller’s compatriots, honorable
American merchants who Were going to
Antananarivo, as being spies in the pay of
France. '
The trial of Mr. Waller, continues the
correspondent of The Temps, only lasted
three hours and three-quarters, at the end
of which time he was condemned to 20
years’ imprisonment. Mr. Waller appealed
against this sentence, but it was eventual-
ly confirmed.
According to the correspondent of The
Temps, it was a son-in-law of Mr. Waller,
Paul Bray, a native ofTexas, and not his
.nephew, who accompanied him on board
the Djemnah. Bray, it is added, was ex-
pelled from the island of Madagascar for
constant hostility to the French authori-
ties and troops and for complicity with his
father-in-law in communicating with the
enemy. Bray, it is stated in conclusion,
was handed over to the American consul
at Zanzibar.
J apan’s Frank Statement.
YOKOHAMA, April 23.-—The following is
the text of the statement issued by the
Japanese government denying the reports
that it has concluded an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with China and declaring
that the commercial advantages secured by
Japan will also be enjoyed by the other
powers under the favored nation treat-
ment: .
"Misapprehenslons are reported to be
current in Europe regarding the terms of
the J ape-Chinese treaty. ' It has been rep-
resented that Japan has secured a 2 per
cent ad valorem duty on imports instead
of a specific duty and has also formed an
offensive and defensive alliance with
China. The commercial concessions ob-
tained by Japan beyond those already se-
cured by the treaty powers under the fa-
vored nation clause comprise the right to
navigate the Yang-tse~Kiang to Chung-
Kin, and also the Woon-Sung river and
the canals leading to Soc-Chow and Hang-
Chow, and the right to import machinery
and certain goods duty free and to estab-
lish factories. These concessions are not
exclusive to Japan. They naturally extend
to the European powers in virtue of the
favored nation clause. In securing these
privileges for all Japan expects the ap-
proval of all the powers.
.“The reported offensive and defensive
alliance does not exist. ” ‘

MAN WHO RECEIVED IT TOLD
Huntington Does Not Appear to Be Greatly
Alarmed About His Arrest and
Treats It Lightly—Details of,
the Proceedings In Court.
NEW YORK, April flit—Collie P. Hunt-
ington, president of the Southern Pacific
railroad, was arrested today on a charge of
giving a free pass to one Frank Stone, in
violation of the interstate commerce law.
President Huntington was arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields.
He was represented by his counsel, Fred-
eric R. Coudert.
Mr, Huntington admitted his identity
and was then taken before Judge Brown
of the United States district court for a
warrant of removal to take him to Califor-
nia.
Judge Brown granted a motion to defer
the issuance of the warrant until Thurs-
day and allowed Mr. Huntington to go on
his own recognizance.
.The warrant for Mr. Huntington’s ar-
rest was issued a short time ago in San
Francisco on an indictment found by the
United States grand jury there, charging
him with violating the interstate com-
merce law. ~
The testimony on which Mr. Hunting-
ton was indicted was furnished by Frank
q “i éfljp’lll\\=
\ \\\\.(\L_\‘ /’r
.~,.

COLLIS P. HUNTINGTON.
Stone, a San Francisco attorney, who
swore that Huntington gave him afree
pass.
The alleged violation of the law was first
discovered during the prosecutions Mr.
Huntington is said to have instigated
against the Southern Pacific strikers.
. \Vhat Huntington Says of Stone.
Mr. Huntington was informed at the
house that he had been indicted for vio-
lating the interstate commerce law, and so
instead of going directly to his ofiice, as
usual, he sent for the counsel of the South-
ern Pacific road, Mr. Maxwell Evarts, and
they both went before Commissioner
Shields and then before Judge Brown of
the United States district court.
It was 11 o’clock before Mr. Huntington
reached his office in the Mills building.
”I have known Frank Stone.” he said,
“for 25 years. He is a San Francisco law-
yer. I would not call him a wicked man,
because a wicked man would not do things
that way. He’s an innocent kind of a fel-
low. I suppose he has started this thing
because I have piqued him in some way or
other—how, I don’t know.
“I may have given him a pass, I prob-
ably did, but I give out so many passes
that I don’t remember one-third of them.
The passes that are usually given out are
indorsed, as a rule, ‘Not good outside the
state,’ and I presume his pass wasn’t so
stamped, and he took advantage of it.
“I don’t know anything about the mat-
ter beyond that, for I don’t pay any atten-
tion to such things. In fact. I don’t care
a tuppence one way or the other. It doesn’t
amount to anything anyhow.
“‘I really don’t know what action was
taken in court today. Some routine busi-
ness, I suppose it was, but I didn’t pay
any attention.
”Arrests are made among the high and
low, and criminal procedure is not' con—
flncd to any class. I don’t know what will
be done. I guess Frank got the pass all
right, but I haven’t time to attend to all
the little details. I have too much else to
do.” 4
The fact that he had been arrested didn’t
seem to trouble Mr. Huntington in the
least. He took it as a matter of course and
said be supposed the lawyer would attend
to the matter.
Huntington and His Railroad.
Mr. Huntington was until-ing in his ef-
forts to make the Central Pacific 3 suc-
cess. It was through his efiorts that the
United States donated certain sections of
public lands and bonds toward the venture.
He made his associates on the road, Stan-
ford. Hopkins and Charles and E. B.
Crocker. responsible for the company’s,
bonds and by this means got the bonds
taken up by a number of wealthy New
Yorkers.
At the time of his attempt to float the
bonds it was said that there was more capi-
tal interested in the Central Pacific than
in that of any other road in the country.
The road received several setbacks, but
each time Huntington succeeded in getting
some new act passed that set it on its feet
once more. At last, in 1869, he was re-
warded by the meeting of the Union and
Central Pacific at Promontory.
After this work was accomplished Hunt-
ington succeeded in getting a road built
from Chesapeake bay to the Ohio river.
His many ventures entailed endless litiga-
tions, and for years a constant succession
of charges and lawsuits have been brought
against him.
It was thought last year that Mrs. Le-
land Stanford would sue him for $3,000,-
000 for stocks and bonds belonging to her,
which he was said to have held back.
' Mr. Huntington, though nearly 75 years
old,~ is still a fine specimen of physical
manhood. He stands over 6 feet in height
endleads a vigorous and actiye life.
