Taken ,as an Evidence pf the Weakness of the Case on Which Our - Ex-Consul Was' Imprisoned. Washington, Aug. S3. There Is good authority for tho statement that a good peremptory demand will bo ntlido by tho United Stntos on Franco for the release of ex-Consul Johta Waller, of Tnmutavo, and that ' satlsfaetot'y indemnity Will be ro qlllred for tho arrest and Imprisonment, with probable request for a commission to uotormlne Waller a rights in .Madagas car. Tho discussion of tho case botwoon tho French and American diplomats has reached a point whero It is said that there Is UHIo elso for the United States tn do. owing to the fact that ropoatod roquests for a copy of tho charges and testimony upon which Wallor was convicted havo not boen furnished by tho Fronoh govern ment. It was said at the state department to day that tho dolay In tho Waller case had boon very annoying to tho officials, and especially to Ambassador Eustls. Tho dilatory action of Franco tn this matter is regarded as Indicating that tho French government has a vory poor case, and will be unable to resist the demands made by tho United States for tho restoration of Waller to liberty and Indemnity for his sea. A condition which makes tho da- lay of Franco more aggravating Is the fact that tho department Is aware of tho torlous Illness of Wullor in prison, and that his further conllnomont Is harmful to his health. International questions gonerally movo slowly, but tho delay In producing papors and testimony In the oase of Wallor has been of a vory exuiporutlug kind, and has resultod In sharp prossuro by United Statos officials to bring about a settle ment, tho belief being that a groat deal of the delay has boen largely unnecessary. bomo of tho reports which havo boon re ceived at tho dopartmont Indicate that the treatment of Wallor has boon unjtiBt, and his arrest aud trial a broach of Inter national comity. ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY. An Express Train on tlio Union Fuclflo Hold Up by Three Men. GoTHENMJliO, Neb., Aug. 22.

' The Result as Viewed by Our Pottsvlllc Correspondent. HASTINGS USED BY THE COMBINE The County Democrats Are In a Quandary as to the Date of Their Convention The Candidates Are Doing Little Just Now. Special correspondence to Hr.RAt.rt. POTTSVII.LK, Aug. 22, 1S95. The Republicans of tho county aro now ready for tho campaign. The meeting of the Executive Committee hero on Monday has put renewed life into the various candidates, and from now on the political atmosphere will bo charged with carbon that will only require the Democratic match to explodo it From a Republican standpoint tlio skies ap pear to bo bright. Tho factional fight on Sat urday in this district occasioned ill-feeling among a few of tlio leaders, but with the rank and file tho men who furnish the sin ews of war and perform tlio practical work of the campaign they appear to accept the result philosophically, and aro perfectly willing to abido by thedecrco of the majority. Thero aro some and they arc by no moans few who do not agreo with the action of the Executive Committeo in naming the date of tho convention for September 30th. Tlioso of this opinion contend that it is showing the white feather that we should hold an early convention and thus show tho eucniy that wo havo no fears of success. That kind of talk may appear all right on paper, but when you are dealing in practical politics eacli sido is looking for an advantage over their adversa ries, and tlio one that shows the most weak spots will certainly have tho hardest light. In my opinion, the action of tho Executive Committee was a fine piece of diplomacy, and gives us a big advantage. It was due, too, to the foresight of that astuto politician, S. Burd Edwards, who made a great fight for the date at tho committee meeting. So the great battle between the state leaders is over, and the old man, with a crippled foot, has won. My predictions, therefore, bring me in the lino of a prophet. You will remember that I stated Governor Hastings would be president of tlio convention, and Senator Quay in tho saddle as leader and chairman of tho stato committee. It is wonderful how many people there are who care so little for principle and who always Hop to tho winners. To-day 1 heard men howling for Senator Quay who but a few days ago wero abusing lnm and sounding the praises of tho combine. You will find such men in all walks of life, and it brings forth the trite old saying, "Nothing succeeds like success. Where does this fight leave Governor Hast ings? He has been placed in an unfair posi tion, and by the men who have claimed to be his friends all through his generosity and strong personal fidelity. Tho mantle of the Governor has been placed around Mr. (iil keson in order to glvc hint some standing with tho party voters. Without the support of tlio hero of Johnstown Gilkeson could not control a handful of delegates. The combine lias shrewdly mado a cover for themselves from tho Governor's popularity aud the pres tige of tlio appointments ho has so lavishly bestowed. All of this is unfair to the Gov ernor, amf Senator Quay's success is tint duo to' any unpopular feeling against His Excel lency, hut it is a direct blow at tho city com bines, who havo laid their plans to get tho samo grip upon tho stato that tiioy now hold upon Pittsburg and Philadelphia. Tho Governor has but ono thing to do, and that Is to accept tho rcsitlt and meet Mr. Quay upon a friendly platform in tlio conven tion. Tlie power of David Martin anil Charlie Porter in Philadelphia and Chris, Magce in Pittsburg is at an end or will be with the inauguration of a Republican President. It was a life and death battle, politically, with tlieso men. Stato Senator Penrose and F. Willing Loach will step into the shoos of tho two former, while Walter Lyons will assume Chris. Mageo's place as the dispenser of patronage in tho western part of tho stato. Tho Governor and his friends have been used to all advantago possible by tho com-, bine, and now they havo no further uso for Mm. Ills position is certainly n humiliating ono, and Sonatov Quay's magnanimity may be tho moans of saving hint from his friends. Tho county light is nliout tho Mine as re ported in my last lettor, so far as th Repub lican sido of tho houso is concerned. Tlio Domocmtmiro in a quandary. They oxpected to hold their couvention aftor that of tho Republicans, and now they aro undecided as to what thoy will do. bomo tavur an earlier dato than September 30, while others think It would bo a good movo to helect the sumo date as the Republietit. However. Saturday's meeting of tho committeo of fifteen appointed for tho purpose will settle tho question. After that political news will bo plontiful and the manoeuvres of the luiuli- dated will bo watched closely. . The siiccess of Senator Quay will haw con siderable bearing locally.

Information received from different parts of the count' show that tho question of water is becoming an important one. At Miners vlllo tho dams aro empty ami tlio town will go dry for a day or two, and a water famine is staring tho people of the'town in tho face. Four collieries aro being supplied with water In addition to tho town consumers. Tlio big artesian well at Ashland is not equal to the. demands made upon, it and the curtailment of tlio water supply by borough authorities to fifteen hours out of tho twenty four appears to give but little relief. Unless tho town is favored with several days rain the probabilities aro that tlio supply will bo shut off entirely. Maliauoy City lias still sufficient water to supply all necessary needs of town consumers, but the continued drouth has necessitated tho shutting off of the supply heretofore furnished the Reading collieries. Tho dntns of tho company aro pretty low, and tho streams that supply it are daily growing smaller. The towns served by the Pottsvlllc Water Company aro in no immediate danger of a scarcity of this precious article. Their source of supply, tho Morea dam, is holding out well. Tho town of Morea is also suffering for tho want of sufficient water while Hazleton peo ple are fearful that the city will go dry. Tho Nescopeck creek is empty. While the majority of tho towns are com plainingof an inadequate supply Shenandoah has an over abundance derived from the old company and that of the borough water works. Tlio former has curtailed its supply somewhat by refusing water to tho fire com panies fbr sprinkling purposes, in order to guard agauist future drouth. Hut the dams of tho borough are filled, and at tho pump ing station the water is running to wasto over tho waste-way of the breastworks. Tho streams running into tills dam aro exceedingly strong for this time of year. So far as Shen andoah Is-conccrncd thero is no danger of a. water famine. .V Few More Left.
