Panama, Nov. 22-Calderon, the some
time provisional president of Peru, is
now with his minister of foreign affairs,
Galvez prisoner in Chilian hands He
vas arrested on the G;!l ult., rs he was
returning from mass, and allowed few
minutes to prepare for a visit to Chill.
He was taken to the palace where he
had private interview with Admiral
Lynch, and was sent OH II special train
to CaIias, and then placed on board the
iron clad Almiranet Cochrane He was
courteously treated and was told that he
might take his family with him and any
friends he desired 10 accompany him.
He WAS bat recently married. The first
favor he declined but the second he ac-
ccptcd AMI selected several, who are to
share his exile. The reasons alleged
for this arbitrary arrest are not yet made
public, but Admiral Lynch is under
stood to have acted, under orders from
Santiago. No one III Lima suppoSes it
is done ont Of defiance to the United
States on account of the attitude assum-
ed towards Chilians by Gen. Hufibut.
The are surmises that it was because
Calderon disregtrded Lynch and the or
der prohibiting the exercise ofany other
authority within the Chilian lines than
that Of the Chilian commander Mr..
Santa Maria believes Pierriola to be the
strongest man in the country. and has
banished Calderon to make way for
him. The removal Of Calderon, how
ever, makes room for Montero, who has
announced his acceptance of the vice
presidency, ofthe Peruvian government,
provided he is assured Of the support
of the United States, in which case he
will resume the presidency ia C;;Idcron s
absence. Gen. Hurlbut, who interceded
earnestly in behalf of Mr.. Garcia Cal
dcron, is said TO have sent message to
DR.. Mountjoy, United States counsul at
Samboyegare, to Montero al Cailamurca,
to assur him of the support and recog-
milton if he came to Lima, to succeed
the exiled president. The people in
Lima do not understand why Gen.
Hurlbut should take an interest in the
politics Of Peru, and interfere in matters
of the dominance Of parties or indi-
viduals. The diplomatic corps one and
ALL condemn his action, although ex-
ccedingly rcticent in the matter, it is
understood to be unanimous in asserting
that Hurlbut's action has complicated
affairs SO that 10 one is competent to
understand the situation. The Chilans
probably understand what they intend
to do, and if it is their intention to
treat with Pierroia, whom they had de-
feated, and probably think he is an easy
antagonist in diplomacy as he is in
war, no support which Hurlhut can save
Montero from following his chief into
punishment

A correspondent ofthc Omaha Repub.
lican speaking of the comparative quail
ty Of the wheat of different states and
territories, give some statistics which
show that Dakota produces the best in
the United States. lie says:
"Here comes in the quality Of the
wheat, from which we &c. the great i'm.
dispcnsable, bread. Farmers, we can
not help saying, are looking for quantity
in their grain crops, and while they seek
to improve the breed of their hogs and
cattle don't stop to think that their
grain needs the same attention. Mime
sofa has a great flour trade, both at
home and abroad, because attention has
been paid to growing wheat which pro-
duces the best -four, that which pos
sesses the most gluten. A gentlemen
who was here a few days ago, who came
with letter to Secretary Blaine from
his government in Europe, a great
wheat growing region, had been north
in Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba,
and furnishes information in regard to
the quality of wheat, and says that the
samples he took from the land depart
ment Of the Union Pacific are identical
with some Of those Of the north. He
had made careful analysis ofwheat from
different parts of the United States with
the following results in regard to the
amount of gluten. The whole goes to
show that the wheat lands are west and
northwest and that Nebraska has q
great share Of them. The figures are
Oregon, 36 per cent California, 10; In
diana, 81 Tennessee, %; Delaware, Ii
Connecticut, 81; Manitoba, As; Mime
sofa, AS; Dakota, SO. A hard wheat has
the most gluten, and hence more value
for good.

ed the fact that the child had been tyran-

leading manufacturers of this state
adopted resolutions tonight on the act
ion OF the state railroad commissioners

railroad companies to charge large pat

Springfield Times,

The postmaster general has ordered
the discontinuance Of the postofice at
Wanarl. this county. In this move we
beneve the postmaster general has not
acted for the best. as Wanarl is
one of the Oldest postoffices in the
county, and is convenient to thickly
settled farming country. There is q
postoftice, Dalytown, only two miles from
Wanari, which we are informed does not
receive one-half the mail matter received
at Wana1i and which, furthermore, is on
weekly route, while the one discontin-
ued is on tri-weekly route, the line run
ming from Springfield to Fort Randall
and up river points. We feel confident
the two offices have been confounded and
the most important one dropped. 1t
might pay those interested to look into
the matter.

Among lawyers in Washington there
is an impression that the death of the
wife Of Juror Hobbs. and his absence to
attend the funeral, will result in new
trial for Guiteau. While the counsel on
both sides consented that Hobbs should
attend the funeral, the idea is that the
defense will, if necessary, use it to gain
new trial in case of conviction. The
court desires to accord the defense every
right and every privilege out of abund-
ant caution against the possibility Of
hanging man not mentally responsible.
Some lawyers think this precaution, in
the event it is claimed that Juror Hobbs
communication and conversation in
auenced his mind, will probably induce
the court to grant new trial in case OF
conviction.
