SOUTH MERICA.
The War Between Chill and Peru
UNSATISFACTORY RESULT OF PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS.

PANAMA, Nov. A.-The steamer from the
south brings full reports from Peruvian sources
of the proceedings of the Peace conference at
africa. Three sessions were held on board the
frisate Lackawanna, on the 22d, 25th and 9th
OF October. The first was occupied in organi-
cation, exchanging credentials, and arranging
the method of procedure, and also in receiving
the formal statement of the demands advanced
by the Chiian government as necessary con-
ditions. not only for restoration of peace, but
for a continuance of the conference. The sec
ond and third sessions were taken up in dis
cussing these conditions. which being rejected
by the representatives of Peru and Bolivia, the
conference was ended without satisfactory re-
suit.
The revolution in Ecuador is entirely quelled.
At Guayaquil the prevailing disease is be.
lieved to be yellow fever. From 10 to 20
deaths occur daily. 1t has attacked principal
ly people from the mountains and new comers.

che ladies' respective charms, IA fair beauty's
attractive merits Icing appraised at 1900 for
ins, while those of a handsome brunette were
rated at 5000. The notion of looking behind
these portraits was suggested by marginal
notes appended to each on the pages of the al
DUN III which they were inserted. These
memoranda indicated the intention of the de-
ceased to make his testamentary dispositions in
such sort that each several charner should in-
herit the sum hidden away behind her counter
felt presentment. Fortunately for his heir.
tins eccentric project had never been advanced
beyond its valuation stage; aud thus the prizes
originally intended to be awarded to beauty
ultimately fell into the hands of an infantry
lieutenant.

Europe.
New YORK, Dec. 4.-The Panama Can Il
subscriptions promise to be very large in
Europe. Gable advices today report tuat a
premium of 25 francs was bid for the full al
lottment, the impression on the other side be-
ing that subscriptions are already coming, and

lated that of the amount to be expended in its
construction at least $50,000000 will be spent
in this country for machinery, food for the

from Minneapolis says the total liabilities of
the bankrupt firm of N. B. Harwood & Co.,
.mount to vi, 1,035,045, of which 1907 1868 is for
merchandise purchased, and 1927 1882 for mon
amount to $320,466. A startling disclosure
was made in the case, developing the fact that
a confessed judgment to Mrs. Harwood,
amounting to 5000, had been paid from the
moneys collected prior to the assignment to c.
II. Petit, and that she has left the city for
parts unknown. Mr.. Harwood is still here,
and suspicious of fraud are stronger than ever.
barwood's attorney states however, that if a
settement can be arrived at the sum paid to
MRS. Harwood will be returned, and she will
accept her pro rata OF the whole amount. 1t
is rumored here that the New York creditors
