PERUS GLOOMY FUTURE.
ANNEXATION TO CHILI-HER
PROBABLE FATE.
order Restored In Lima and the
Central DisFricts-The North and
South Arrayed Under PIerOla,s
BanefuI Influence.

PANAMA, April 16-Our dates from Lima
were imminent between the provisional
government and the municipal authorities
of Lima, who were of Pierola's appointing,
have been settled by the prompt action of
the new officers recently appointed by Cal
deron, without waiting for the courts to de-
eide the question as to whether Pierolas or
Calderon was "King."
The new appointees promptly took pos
session of their seats, and the old munich
pality, which was hostile to the new
order of things, found themselves quietly
showed out of office. At the head of the
new city government is Colonel Caesar
Cane Nano, a gentleman of great
wealth and excellent character, and one of
the few officers of the Peruvian army who
have made really honorable records during
the late wretched war. The change in the
city government assures tranquility in the
central departments and the loyal adhesion
of the people to ihe new government.
In the North and South, however, new
elements of confusion and anarchy have
arisen, Monter in Csjarrerica, and Solar in
Arequipa have declared In favor of
Pierola's government, and denounce as
u halOOAo WI my VI u6dbu ali eFuFldnh WHO are
disposed to make peace with Chill. 1t is
probable that the Chilian occupation will
be thing of years instead of months, and
will soon be extended to every part of Peru.
Minister Vagara has gone to Chilli to con-
suit with his government. He is known to
be thoroughly disgusted with the condition
OF affairs, and sees no remedy but annexa-
tion.

CHARLESTON STIRRED.
A Prominent Young Man Charged
with DefraudIng His Employer
He Raises a Check and Disappears
Hon. M. p. O'COnnOr and General
Preston Hi.

CHARLESTON, s. c., April 25.-A young
man belonging to one of the most respecta-
BILE families in the city, and confidential
clerk Of prominent cotton factor here, ,disap-
peared about three weeks ago and has not
been heard of since. The matter was kept
a profound secret, but 1t has leaked out
that at the time Of his disappearance the
factor was robbed of about three thousand
dollars by means Of a raised check, which
was presented to the South Carolina Loan
and Trust Company of this city and cashed.
The factor declines to make any charges
against the young man, whose name is con
sequently withheld from publication, but it
is known that the information has been tele-
graphed to police headquarters in all the
Southern cities.
The affair causes some sensation, in con
sequence of the respectability of the parties
Hon. M. ?. O'Connor, member of Con-
gress from this Congressional district, is
lying desperately i'll at his residence, in this
city. Two physicians are in attendance,
and another will be called in tomorrow.
Mr.. O'Connor was taken i'll with nervous
prostration in Washington in February last,
but rallied sufficiently to enable him to be
brought home. His complications assumed
serious turn on Sunday last, aud very
faint hopes are entertained of his recovery.
General John 8. Preston, of Columbia, is
dangerously i'll.

The Ex.Empress Refused a Grave
Beside Her Husband and Her Son.
Vanity Far, I'd

The real reason why the Empress
Eugene has left Camden Place and
Chiselhurst, and is about to establish
herself near Marlborough, is far from
being suspected, but the story is one
altogether so discreditable to the taste
and good feeling of more than one Eng-
lish subject that it may we'll be set down
here for warning and reproof. It ap-
pears that when the Empress received
the remains of her dead son she con-
ceived the very natural desire to make
in the little chapel at Chiselhurst three
burylng places-that is to say, the two
already required for her husband and her
son, and a third for herself, in order
that those who had so loved each other
in life should not in death be separated.
1t was then discovered that in order TO
get space for the three tombs it would
be necessary to acquire piece of land
forming part of the field adjoining the
chapel. The owner of this field was ac-
cordingly communicated with, and re-
quest made that he would sell the very
small piece of land required. He, how
ever, fatty refused, on the ground, as |
am informed, that he would not part
with any land at all for ''idolatrous pur-
poses. Lord Sydney, the lord of the
manor, intervened to overcome the OBJ
lection, and the Queen herself expressed
an earnest desire that the EN-.
press wish might be carried out.
But it was all in vain. The owner
of the ground refused altogether to be
persuaded, and the unfortunate Empress
has had no alternative but to leave Cam
den House, endeared to her by so many
memories, and to seek another and more
hospitable place, where she may bury
her dead and live herself. But this is not
all: Finding that she could not take up
her abode in her new house till month
after the date at which she was to give
up Camden Place, the Empress appealed
to the tenant who was to succeed her in
that house to allow her to remain the
month there. This tenant-Mr. Ferdi-
nand de othschild-declined, however.
to allow her to do so, though he said she
might remain for another fortnight.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Edward
Barring very handsomely came for
ward and placed at the Empress
disposal the house at Combe, where
the unfortunate lady is now STAYING. I
must say that it seems very hard that a
lady who has sought the hospitality of
England, who has lost son fighting for
England and who has therefore every
claim to the most delicate and respect
full consideration in this country, should
find SO great a difficulty in obtaining
that consideration. Under the circum.
stances it seems to me that a right
minded person would waive his right to
exclude Romish ceremonies from his
neighborhood, or even to enter upon his
occupation of summer residence
rather than expose lady in this situa
tion to any kind of inconvenience. I am
sorry that anybody should be found in
England to take different view of the
matter.

THE SITUATION AT TUNIS.
The Recent Progress of Events Re-
VIeWed-The Bey on His Dignity
and Taking Active Measures TO
Check Disorders.

TUNIs, April 25.-M. Roustan, the French
Consul General here, has sent circular to
the other foreign Consuls stating that he has
offered the Bey to place at his disposal a
company of marines and two cannon from
the French man-of-war Jeanne d'Arc for the
purpose Of maintaining order in the Euro
pean quarters Of the city, and that the Bey
has declined the offer.
LONDON, April 25-The following is a
summary of events in Tunis since Friday
last: The Bey's refusal to sanction the oc-
cupation of Tabarco; semi-panic In the
European colony lest the Arabs massacre
the Christians; the offer of NJ Roustsn to
land force of marines from the French
war vessel to protect the Europeans In the
town of Tunis, and the Bey's rejection of
the offer; the subsidence of the pauic;
growing conviction that the Europeans
are not In danger; the advance of the French
forces into the KrOumir territory from the
side of Algeria; a similar advance of the
Bey's troops from the side OF Tunis, both
without opposition, and the Bey's officers
reporting to him that the Kroumirs are
ready to make complete submission and
surrender.
Heavy rains had impeded the progress of
the French land force and a high sea has
prevented landing at Tabarca. The Bey
intends to complain to France againsG the
Algerian newspaper, AkbGr, which called the
Bey brigand, and coupled his name with
those notorious bandits. The Bey will point
out the possible consequence of such lam
guage during the present excitement among
the Arabs. 1t is impossible to obtain di-
rect information from Algeria, as the French
military censorship allows nothing to pass
PARIS, April 25 "A dispatch from Tunis
states that the Bey is taking energetic meas
ures to prevent disturbance. Any Arab
found In the streets after nine o'clock at
night will be arrested. The carrying of
arms is prohibited.
The Times correspondent at Tunis says:
"The Bey has communicated to NJ. Roustan,
the French Consul, the measures he has
taken to insure the safely of European resi-
dents. The communication is exceedingly
friendly. The Italian agents at Tunis and
Goletta continue to spread false reports for
the purpose of encouraging the Bey to re-
sist France. 1t is reported that the French
will attack Kroumires on Tuesday,"

Street Car Rights.

The driver came into the car and sat
down to mend his whip. He had ten
minutes time Gilhooly was in the car
with both legs on the seat waiting for
the train to move out, so they conversed.
''Do you own this Galveston road?"
asked Gilhooly.
"NO, It's not mine.

much as if you had ever been that kind
of philanthropist.
"No, / amt that kind of billy goat, :"
observed the driver, still busy with his
whip, "but, then, there is no telling
what misfortune may, happen to me yet.

where he was going to sleep. Two years

BRITISH BREADSTUFFS.
The "Mark Lane Express' I" Review
of the Week.

LONDON, April 25.-The Mark Lane En-
press, in its review of the British corn trade
for the past week, says: deliveries of
English wheat continue very moderate. It's
scarcity has caused an advance in some of
the country markets, but business in London
was very materially checked by the firmness
of holders. In foreign, recent arrivals were
mostly absorbed by the consumptive
demand, but In consequence of the increase
of the supply a1oat buyers were very re-
served. Holders remain firm. Prices for
both wheat and flour are practically un.
changed. Maize is in better supply Mixed
American ex-ship in London was quoted
Friday at 26s. Sd. per quarter. Forty wheat
laden vessels are due during the present
week.
