The law also provides that drivers of public vehicles shall not loiter about the streets and seek employ- ment. There are more Heensed vehicles in the city than ihere are places on the stands for them, and for this reason the law against loitering or “crabbing” has not been strictly enforced.

Seven of the warrants were returned today, and Judge Kimball heard the cases.

TELLS OF TREATHENT HE RECEIVED French Justice Toward an Ameri- can Citizen. CHAINED TO THE FLOOR st Ex-United States Consul Waller, whose imprisonment and treatment by the French government have formed the subject of much correspondence between the Ameri- can,and French governmerts, is in Wash- ington, and was today seen by a Siar reporter at No, 1618 7th street northwest, where Mr. Walier is stopping. Mr. Waller told the reporter that he has absolutely no plans for the future nor wili he think about a course to pursue until he counsel, of shall have consulted with his Messrs. Kennedy and Langston this L. Wa and Guinn of Baltimore, in reference le matter. The report has gained cur- rency that Mr. Waller will call on Secre- tary Olney and lay before him a number of facts connected witi his treatment on shipboard, which he told the reporter, and some of which were so extremely bad as to preclude their being printed, he feels that Mr. Olney has been grossly misied in reference to his case, and that had he neard both sides he would not have ex- pressed the opinion, as the Secretary of State has done, that Mr. Waller was well treated on the voyage from Tamatave to Marseilles, and while in the military prison in the latter city. “I was informed,” said Mr. Waller, “ Ambassador Eustis, our representative in France, that, under the arrangement made by Secretary Olney with the French for- eign office, which resulted in my release from prison, I was precluded from trying to recover anything from the French gov- ernment for my imprisonment, but that he had been authorized by the State to say that the United States gover ment would go my security for the costs if I saw proper to sue the French government, through the French courts, for ill-treating me on the way from Tamatave to France and during my imprisonment in that coun- try. “I am not going to express any opinion as to whether or not there would be any use in my taking that meags to try to recover 375,000 or $100,000 damages, but I will say that some time ago I had a long conversa- tion with a member of the English parlia- ment, who is a great authority on inter- rational law, and, after hearing my account of the way I was treated by the French, he said: ‘Mr. Waller, I am sorry for you and sympathize deeply in what you have suf- fered, but I regret to inform you that my experience in French courts leads me to the conviction that It 1s useless for un Amerl- can citizen, or an English citizen, or the citizen of any other country than’ France, from gaining a suit, no matter how just may be the demand.’ His Treatment. “Secretary Olney has stated officially that I was well treated, both on the voy- age and in prison, and gave as bis reason for so stating that I received medical treat- ment upon reaching Marsellles, 1 being sick at the time, and that If it had been other- wise I would have said more about it to tne commission sent by Mr. Eustis to take my deposition in reference to the case and also informed my wife fully. “Before going into details, I want to re- mark that when the commission came to see me the members seemed to be in a great hurry, and although I begged them to let me testify as to my ill-treatment they refused to do so and said they would inform the ambassador privately. I could not tell my wife while she was In France because, as the State Department author- ities well know, the French authorities would not let me see her. Horrible Recital. “A plain statement of facts will demon- strate this. I was arrested in Tamatave on March 20 and placed in prison at once. As this was a tropical climate, I was dress ed in very thin clothing. I had put this clothing on the day previous, and from that time until one month after my ar- rival at Marseilles, two months after I was arrested, I was not allowed to change my clothing or to take a bath. “I was sick with dysentery when the steamship upon wi was carrie] to France left Tamatave; but notwithstanding this 1, was for seven days kept in irons and chained flat on my back to the floor of the vessel, from which I was released but for ten minutes in the morning and the same length of time in the evening. When the exigencies of my disease compelled me to ask for a temporary release from my irons the guard replied: ‘You will ba re- leased for ten minutes at 8:30 in the morn- ing and ten minutes at 4:30 in the evening and on no other occa3ion. “At the end of the seventh day, however, and upon reaching Zanzibar, two French ccrporats, who saw how intensely I was suffering, interceded for me and had me released from my prostrate position on the floor. The authorities still, however, kept me in irons and chained whenever we were in a harbor, and also while passing through the Suez canal. “We reached Marseilles on the morning of April 19, and I was kept in chains in the harbor until about 4 o'clock on the after- noon of the next day. I was still suffering from the dysentery. When I found I was to be taken ashore I begged my jailers for two boxes of clothing which I had on board, but they would not let me have them (and they afterward confiscated them), nor would they allow me any flan- nel underwear, although a cold, piercing wind was blowing at the time. “After getting me on shore they fastened me to a guard with a pair of steel nippers around one of my wrists, and in this way they carried me all about Marseilles from one office to another, and so on, I do not know the exact number, at each of which I signed my name, until about 7 p.m., when I was put in the military prison, at which time I was chilled to the bone. The room given me was very dark and had a stone floor, with not a single article of furniture, and the only place provided for the admission of daylight was a window about a foot square, which was located close to the ceiling. Letter Not Delivered. “The next day I asked my guard to get me some writing material, so that I could communicate with the United States consul, and he brought me pen, ink and paper, but said I would have to write on the floor. ‘Thig I did as best I could, and in my letter I told tue consul of my desperate condition, and begged him, in the name of the govern- ment and people of the United States, to send me medical aid, as I wag very sick, and to come and see me and do what he could. The guard took the letter and said. he would send it to the consul by a mes- senger. “I waited day after day until I wag trans- ferred to the prison at Clarivaux for the consul and medical aid arrive, but neither came, and as I was leaving the Marseilles prison was handed the letter I had written to the consul eight days before. i tary Olney’s conclusion in treatment di the have referred, beg reference to period, to ‘which I leave to say that when the commissién re- ttsed to take my testimony in reference to the matter, when the.French authorities refusec to allow me to see my wife, and when they further re! to allow me to write any criticism of ‘the French govern- tment, as they read every communcation I made in writing, I was debarred from making the.true facts in my case known.” In Madagasenr. E Mr. Waller ascribed ‘his treatment to the fact that his concessfan was intended, if his plans could have ,been carried out, to build up a great trede’ between Madagascar and the United States, and of this the French were jealous. ie is, however, he said, the owner of square miles of Jand in Madagascar, fgr the possession of which he has proper papers, and he can- not, he says, be deprivexi of his rights un- less the United States government ignores existing treaties and allows France to do what it pleases in regard to the matter. Mr. Waller reached’ Washington last night. He is accompanied by his wife, ard they expect to return to their home in Baltimore tomorrow, but will again be in this city ina few days. BISHOPS WARD AND W AYMAN Baltimore Conferenos, A. M. E. Oharch, Honors Departed Leaders. Business Transacted at the Session Today—Address by Bishop Grant —Conference Notes. Rev. James G. Martin conducted the de- votional services this morning at the open- ing of the Baltimore conference of the African Methodist Ep'scopal Church. Bishop Gaines presided, and Bishops Grant and ‘Tanner were also present. Rev. J W. Bowser stated that after the death of Bishop Alexander Wayman the ministers of the Baltimore conference had organized an association for the purpose of erecting a monument in honor of Bishop Wayman, who had spent fifty years of his life in the active work of the church. The orgenization was officered by Rt. Rev. Wes- ley J. vice ptt, se tary He was of the opinion that the mir should contribute liber- ally for the cau Bishop Gaines made a short address, and he was followed by Bishop Grant, who spoke on the importance of the church paying some attention to those who had given their life in its service, and told how the Wesleyan Church honored John Wes ley, its founder. He also visit to Westminster Abbey, and said the first thing that attracted his attention was a large statue of John Wesley. Then, upon going to his grave, he saw another token of respect and esteem, in a large monu> ment. . spoke of his Bishop Grant. Bishop Grant said he thought that the example shouid be fullowed by the mem- bers of the A, M. ©. Church, who, he said, were the followers of Wesley. “We are to- day,’’ he said, years from w started, of which have been sg; as freedmen. We must do something. “We are in this great church that knows no color line, has no separa congregation, no is separate altar, uo separate communion table, no separate | pafsunages, but the church that recognizes that. ‘out of one blood God created all men,’ the church that knows no man by rave or colo! Bishop Grant further thought that the memories of the fathers of the African Methodist. Episcopal Church should be made perpetual, and said that it was his intention to do his duty for all heroes wno had fallen at their post of duty. He paid a tribute to Bishop$.Ward and Wayman, each of whom spent-half a century of his life in the service of the church. He said that it was the intention of the Florida conferences to erect a monument in honor of Bishop Ward, who was the presiding bishop over that stdte at the time of his death. He had, be said, told the ministers of the conference that 4 monument should be erected, and if they. failed to do their duty, he would pay for it himself. He further said that the church was do- Ing much good for the elevation of the race, and a large number éf the men of the race, like C. H. J. Taylor, owed their success to the African Mothodist Episcopal Church. At the conclusion of his remarks $160 were contributed to assist in paying for the Wayman monument. The monuments will be unvelled In July, Bishop Ward's In Washington and Bishop Wayman's in Baltimore. An appropriate program will be arranged by the leaders of the church and bishops.

T. Tanner, D.D., who has been associated with the conference, will leave the city Monday for Newark, N. J., to hold the New Jersey conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Chu which will be the last annual conterence before tha general conference in May, at Wilmingtoa, ei Bishop Gaines addressed the conference, complimenting the Southern ratlroad and Mr. Turk, its general passenger agent, for the intcrest shown by him in the colored race.

The unpleasant relations existing between Dr. James Kerr, surgeon-in-chief at the Emergency Hospital, and the members of the medical staff of the institution, are still the subject of investigation by the direc- tors, through a committee consisting of Mr. John W. Foster, chairman; Mr. W. C. Whittemore, secretary, and Messrs. B. H. Warner, A. A. Thomas and H. L. West. These gentlemen held a meeting yesterday afternoon and examined Miss West, the superintendent at the hospital, upon some of the conditions existing there. The com- mittee adjourned until May 4, when it is expected final action will be taken in the shape of a report to the board of directors. In the meantime, it is currently reported, efforts will be made to adjust the differ- ences existing between Surgeon Kerr and the medical staff, and relieve the situation of fis serious aspect. The objection to Surgeon Kerr is entirely of a personal na- ture, his temperament, it is said, being the » of the prevalent dissatisfaction of the sta with him, Accordingly, it is thought that the directors of the hospital both on the committee and off of it will endeavor to assuage the present bitterness and pre- vent a recurrence of it in the future by adopting a set of rules which will express- ly stipulate the exact duties and authority of the surgeon-in-chief, as well as those of the medical board, and thus eliminate all chances for a clash between Dr. Kerr and the medical staff hereafter. aie ARTISTIC Eleven Bed Rooms Beantifally Fur- nished in Colopial Design. There are few cities in the United States where tho:o who take pleasure in artistic Lousefurnishirgs can see such a display of furniture as has been arranged this week at the store of W. B.

The citizens of Brookland think that the owner of the stores recently burn- ed near the B. and O. station should have the debris cleared away. This makes an unpleasant appearance to peopie coming to and from Brookland, being, as it is, near the terminus of the Eckington railroad.
