THE SOUTH AMERICAN REPuBI1cs are maxi
ing efforts to develop their resources by tho
expansion of their present means Of trans
portation. The Darien Canal project is
gaining in popularity under the influence Of
the local authorities, seconded by foreign
capitalists. In Peru the enterprise Of Mr..
Meigs promises to produce great results in
he extension of the railroad system of
the Republic, and hopes are entertained
that sufficient capital will be subscribed to
complete such an undertaking. A direct
negotiation between the President and the
European bondholders is expected to result
in the more satisfactory condition Of the
affairs of Peru. The fatal fire caused at the
city of Cuzco by the reckless discharge of .
rocket in fireworks factory has resulted in
considerable damage, and furnishes another
lesson on the dangers of dealing carelessly
with explosives.

AN ACCOMMODATING CRIMINAL was Chris
tian Klotz, who killed young girl in Mary
land for "devilment' and shortly after con-
fessed the crime. On some of the neighbors
proceeding to hang him summarily some
others objected, and he WINS cut down, but
only to be invited to commit suicide by
hanging himself He did SO with alacrity
We cannot compliment the cowardly wretches
who took this Pontius Plate method of
keeping their hands clear of his blood.

AN INTERESTING Account is published in
to-day's HERALD of the grand polo match
betweeen team of the Calcutta Polo Club
and the team of Munnipoories, played in
presence of the Prince of Wales during his

the Princes visit

THE WEATHER To-DAr will probably
be warm and rainy along the Atlantic
cosst, the latter condition prevailing as
far south as Cape Hatteras, and will
DO followed by cooler and clearer
weather by Monday next. There are indi-
cations of the approach of another area
Of low barometer on tho Pacific coast,
which we expect to experience before
the end of the coming week. A high tenn
perature prevailed from the Mississippi
to the Atlantic coast during yesterday, except
in the portion northward from Sandy Hook,
with winds from eastwardly points. Clear
weather prevails in the Southwestern and the
Western Gulf States, with southerly and
sastsxly winds in the latter.

THE STREET RAILROAD WAR AGAINST RAPID
Transit progresses in the courts, and our
citizens are in some danger of being delayed
in their enjoyment of the long wished for
boon by the solicitude of the street car COM
panics regarding equine nervousness. We
can assure the humanitarian officials that
m overcrowded car is far more destructive
to the nerve forces of their horses than the
shock likely to be administered by the sight
of passing rapid transit train.

THE EXECUTION OF LowERY, the South Caro-
lima murderer, is a fitting vindication Of the
law in the case Of an atrocious criminal
whose hands were stained by the slaughter
of many victims, and who, besides, was
guilty of other crimes almost equally helm
also hanged at Oquawka, ILL.,, for the muir
der of an unfortunate girl named Jessie
Mccarthy under circumstances Of revolving
atrocity. The advocates of mercy to muir
derers must admit that q grave public danger
would be created if scoundrels like Lowery
and Lee were permitted to believe that
changing is played out" The lesson Of the
death penalty must be persistently admin
istered until such villains learn to respect
the law and the rights of their fellow men.
A MAs5AcnE DY Sioux INDIANS Of fifteen
settlers in the Platte Valley is reported rs
the latest development of the war on the
Plains. This butchery only goes to prove
how relentless is the hatred borne by the
savages against the whites, and also shows
that, however intractablc they may be, an
unwiso policy has been pursued by the
Indian Bureau in its dealings with the red
man. The Canadian Indians give no trouble
to the British settlers, because they have
learned to rely on tho good faith of the
latter, and arc not subject to the alterations
Of cheating and slaughter which seem to be
the foundation Of the relations existing
between the whites and Indians on the
Western frontier.

No. in E nat major Beethoven's "Corolanus'' over
ture and Metzdorn-s symphony, No in MAJOR, con-
stuted the orchestral programme and were given with
effect under the direction of the eminent con-
ductor Carl Bergman. The last mentioned work
by pupil OF Lszt, is full OF the fan
cies OF the school. Mile. Pappenhelm sang
"Ah perhda" OF Beethoven and the Countess
aria "Dove sono" from Le Nozze di Figaro, and the
grand dramatic character OF her voice and her finished
style of singing displayed to the utmost advan-
tage in both selections Miss Lima Luckhardt played a

"reminiscences Of Schumann and Mendelssohn and
