WASHINGTON, Dec. THE postal au-
thorities are informed that during the war
between Peru and Chilli, and the subse-
quent occupation of Peru by the Chilian
troops, that mails for Peru were opened
several times by the Chilian military and a
numbepof registered letters seized.
The President has approved the recon-
mendation of the Secretary or the Interior,
and accepted an additional twenty five
mile section of the Northern Pacific r. r.
The new section lies in Idaho.
1t is said that day or two ago a party
of Senators called upon the President to
urge him to call well known public man
for cabinet portfolio, when the Presi-
dent brought the discussion to an abrupt
termination with the statement, Gentle
men, the matter is already closed"
The President took up his residence at
the White House late this afternoon.
John Davis, nephew of Bancroft Davis
and son-in-law of ex-senator Frelinghuy-
sen, has been appointed President Arthur's
Private Secretary.
The fact that but few of the twenty or
thirty experts summoned for defendant
gave their testimony excites some remarks
and it is said that nearly all of them came
to the conclusion that they could do Gui-
teau no good Dy their testimony. A few
experts had interviews with Guiteau Mon
day afternoon, but none of them appeared
Yesterday ON the witness stand. The pris-
oner stated that the experts requested him
to take some medicine before the exam
ination, but he declined. They talked
with him an hour and half, examined his
ewes, felt his pulse and then left.
