Civil COmmOtiOn in Peru = Terrible
Disturbances RepOrted,

PANAMA, May 2S.-Latest dates from
Lima are to the 18th inst. The Peruvian
congress, which convened on the 18th in
slant at Chorillas, failed to assume con-
stitutional form for want of quorum.
Senators and representatives were present
in the city In large numbers amply suf1l-
cient for that purpose, but such is the
state of feeling among the leading men OF
Peru at the present moment that united
action for the most patriotic ends is
| impossible, and there have been no
sessions since the preliminary meeting.
Admiral Lynch, who has lately taken
command of the army of occupation, has
ample powers to come to terms with the
Peruvians. He has all the officials at his
command to form Gillian government
| fight their miserable political questions
out among themselves without the dignity
of official character or standing to assist
them. Pierola has disappeared as ef-
fectually as though the earth
had opened and swallowed him. His
Lieutenants Solar and Montero- re-
main as the only visible signs of what was
once his dictatorial government. Arequipa
still reserves her hostile organization and
VOWS war to the death against Chlians
and all Peruviaus who believe in the new
provisional government.
1t is reported that Calderon is beginning
to display something of military strength
in the way of demonstrating his government.
He dispatched 400 men the other day arm
ed with weapons borrowed from the Chill
lians to thrash the Project of Huaroz into
subsection. This he will no doubt do, and
enable the deputies in that department to
take their seats in Congress, which they
had been forbidden to do. Montero has
been invited to take his seat in Congress
as member for the province of Puira, and
a safe conduct has been sent him. His
answer will probably be refusal.

Reverend Kalloch in Maine

Rev. |. s. Kalloch preached in Rockland
yesterday, In the First Baptist church, to
a very large congregation. This is the
church wherein he preached his first SER
mon and of which he was pastor for seye-
raj years. His discourse was largely rem
iniscent of his labors and experiences in
the church here. He said that since he
went out of business and politics in Kan
sas he had not gone into either since. He
was not, he said, engaged in politics in
San Francisco-he was minister still.
His church and himself were perfectly
united, and Notwithstanding his duties as
Mayor of that city he preached regularly
to larger congregation and did as much
pastoral work as any minister in San
Francisco

Anacondas I'm the Street.

During the parade of Barnum's me
nagerie and circus in Salem, Mass, last
Friday, the six horses drawing the big
glass cage that held forty serpents of va
rious sizes, became unmanageable and ran
away. The cage was smashed and the
streets strewn with medley of anacondas
Demonstrators and other reptiles. There
was general stampede of the immense
throng of spectators, even the unterriHed
small boy seeking refuge up lamp posts
and trees. The keepers succeeded, how
ever, in recapturing the scaly monsters
without injury or loss.

The "Spoils" to the winners In the


Under Garfield and Blaine we have
reached peculiar stage in the development
of party schemes and operations. Hith-
erto the rule has been that the "spoils"
of successful conflict belonged to the
victofs In that conflict. 1t was not no.
BILE rule. 1t has done great deal to de-
base politics, as a similar rule in war
degrades armies to mere bands of bri-
gands. But 1t was rule that semed to
commend ITSELF to the average human
nature of the American people, and It has
grown into respectable notifications. As
1t passes away we may fairly say of 1t
that 1t was at least honorable and high
minded by comparison with the one that
succeeds it. For 1t is passing away and
the spoils now are given, not to the
victors in the conflict but to the fellows
who whined in the rear and nosed out
the enemy's baggage when the battle was
over.-N. Y. Herald.

The Assassination of the sultan

LONDON, June 6.-Warhawk, "Mr
Palmer" who has been arrested at Con-
stantinople on the suspicion of being the
chief conspirator in plot, writes to the
Times, stating that he warned the Grand
Vizier in 1868 that plot existed to as
sassinate the Sultan. and "that some per-
sons privy to the plot are now under ar
rest" Warhawk was then requested, for
his own safety, to quit Constantnople,
which he did, but returned In 1877.
Warhawk states that his object in
writing to the Times is that for some days
past every sort of inducement has been
offered AMI threat made to procure his
silence on the affair of 1868. There are in
London, he says, abundant papers which
will throw every light on the subject.
Warhawk's letter is dated Constantnople
May 9th. The Times correspondent at
Constantinople says: "One of Palmer's
reasons for returning to Turkey was to
have the affair of 1868 officially re-exam-
ined. A few hours after the publication
of letter written by Mr.. Palmer to a
local paper, on the day of his arrest, which
was similar to the letter to the Times, Mr..
Palmer was arrested"

Removal of the Remains of Will
liam Penn,


Special Dispatch to THE CRITIC.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Considerable
interest is manifested here in regard to the
proposition to remove the remains of Will
liam Penn from the quiet country grave
yard attached to an English Quaker meet
ing house, where they now repose. for the
purpose of permanently depositing them
beneath part of the Penn Squares, in this
city, which are occupied mainly by the
foundations of the expensive municipal
building now in course of erection. 1t is
singular fact that while many persons
favor the removal, 1t encounters some OPP
position here as well as among the English
Quakers who have charge OF the remains
and the representatives of the Penn fam
lily. One of the grounds of the opposition
manifested here is that William Penn
himself selected the present custodians of
his ashes, and that his wishes should be
respected; and another matter comment
ed upon is that William Penn spent only
very small portion of his time in this
DrOViupc.

MIR. Conkling,s Amusement

MIR. Conkling processes to be astoushed

ostracize him, as the one republican for
whom republicans ought not to vote. 1t
is true that his position is exceptional.

worth while to speak separately of Mr.
Platt; he has seen fit to count only as the
cipher added to Mr.. Conkllng. A repub-
lican who Is at war with the republican
administration, who is using against It
the worst ISLANDERS that democrats have

a minority because nearly every republi-
can senator refused to obey his dctation,

can properly or eafely vote.-N. Y. Tri-
