A BIG CLAIM.

A most remarkable paper has recently
been filed in the state department at
Washington, and served upon the min
listers of Peru and Chill. It is nothing
less than a claim for about 81 ,000,000
being it seems, somewhat in the nature
OF lien for that amount upon the enor-
mously valuable deposits of fertilizers,
fltrates and guano in Peru. The claim
ant is the Peruvian Company. a corpor-
alton existing under state charter. It
comes into the possession of its claim by
succession, by assignment and otherwise,
of the claims of Cochet and Landreau,
the discoveries of the deposits in ques-
ton. They were respectively awarded,
by act of Peruvian congress, certain pro-
portions of the result of their discover
les, which consideration was never paid
and is the subject of the claims now adj
vanced In this new form. Cochet and
Landreau were French citizens, but
Landreau was in partnership with his
brother, a naturalHed citizen of the
United States, and his claim has been
repeatedly before congress. baa
The mere magnitude of this claim
would entitle it to attention, but the fact
that this claim is vested In American
citizens, who are now seeking to enforce
their asserted rig gifts of contract against
Chili's rights of conquest, and who are
demanding the rotection-forcible pro-
lection, If necessary-of the federal gov
eminent, is not without significance.
Moreover, the character of the men in
terested in the company, according to
the statements of the company's presi-
dent and Attorney. r. Shepherd, of
New York city-entitles it to respect
full examination of its deserts. General
Grant, for one, is both convinced of the
Justice and soundness of the claim, and
in favor of it's vigorous support by the
executive. Ex-Secretary Boutwell, is the
counsel of the company ia Washington,
and Hon. Scott Lord in New York city.
Both these gentlemen are said to enter
tain no doubt as TO the legality of the

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1881.
YORKTOWN.

This memorable city, the theatre OF
the recent imposing ceremonies IN COM
memoration of the surrender of Lord
Corvallis army in revolutionary days,
is situated on high bluff of concrete or
stone mari, covered with a sandy sol, on
the south side of the York River, about
eleven miles from its mouth. It is the
highest ground on either the York or
James River below Richmond. The
peninsula on which the town is located
is level, and on each side of the village
deep ravines embrace it. almost meeting
In the rear. At the time of the siege, IN
1881, the village contained about sixty
houses. Its sole Importance was as q
shipping port for the tobacco and other
products of Virginia. In 1914 con-
siderable portion of the town was de-
stroyed by fire, and from that blow it
has never recovered. Tt is now little
more than dilapidated memorial of its
former self. The average width of the
York River in the neighborhood of
Yorktown is about two miles, but direct
ly opposite the town it Is narrowed to a
mile by the projecting cape on which
the village of Gloucester is situated.
This, too, was once thrifty and enter
prising settlement, but the depreciation
of the surrounding country for agricul-
tural purposes checked the growth of its
incipient commerce, and here, as at
Yorktown, the agencies of decay have
been more active than those of prosper
ity and progress.

BUYING UP CONFEDERATE BONDS.

r. j. Moses, of New York, acting as
agent for foreign parties, advertises for
$1,000, 900 of Confederate bonds, and ex-
presses willingness to pay for them at
the rate of One-quarter of / per cent.
Moses gives this explanation of his do
ings: 81 am buying these bonds and
paying $3.50 thousand for them. I
have already purchased more than
$1,000, 900 worth, and have advertised
for 81, 900, 900 more. [ am buying them
in accordance with orders from CORE
spondents abroad, but I do not care to
say where these correspondents are, nor
do l know what they intend to do with
them, or how they hope to realize on
them. Personally, I would not give a
cent for all you could bring me, but I
am simply acting as an agent and obey
orders without asking questions. "Do
you think it would be worth while to
hold on to these bonds in the hope of
rise?" was asked. "No, I do not, for I
understand that the market ON the other
side is weaker. do not know how they
are quoted there, but on Tuesday re-
ceived dispatch that the market was
giving way, anu yesterday I received an
other dispatch that the bonds were sell
ing slowly. The bonds come from all
parts of the south. I sent circulars to
all the banks In the south offering to
purchase these bonds at So. so per 81 900,
and have received some from almost
every one. The First National Bank of
Memphis sent dispatch to me this
morning saying that they had forwarded
$215, 900 worth of bonds" The reporter
made inquiries among other brokers,
and was told that there were several of
them engaged in buying these bonds,
and that quotations ranged from 81 to So
per 81 900. He was not able, however,
to discover any one who was willing to
pay the last-named price.

claim. Senator Eaton. OF Connecticut,
and Senator Cragin, of New Hampshire,
are of like opinion. The matter has al
ready been the subject of correspond
ence between the state department and
the United States minister at Lima, and
coincidentally with the service of the
formal notice upon the Peruvian and
Gillian ministers, application was made
for the sending of such vigorous instruc-
lions to Minister Hurlbert that the
company's rights are likely soon to be
tested. These instructions have been
sent, and the company's attorney ex-
presses his satisfaction with their tenor.

Washington Gossip.

Leigh Robinson, young Washington lawyer,
has been assigned by Judge Cox to assist SEQ
vile in defending Guteau. Mr.. Robinson is an
enthusiast in his profession. He is native of
Virginia, the son of Conway Robinson, rather
noted democratic politician of that state.
Notwithstanding the fight made on him by
ex-senator Mcdonald. of Indiana, Col Dudley
was on the 22d inst, confirmed as commissioner
of pensions by goodly majority.
Captain Howgate, the signal officer charged
with embezzlement of government funds, is
now at liberty on the original bond given by
him. The grand jury found an Indictment
against him. and the doughty captain, not APP
pearing when called for, his bond was declared
forfeited. Subsequently the decree of forfeiture
was set aside. ..i

Gulteau the assassin, has become mCrose and

He says that unless some great criminal lawyer
undertakes his defense he will become his own
lawyer. Scoville is thoroughly discouraged and
has issued an appeal to the people asking all
who can to aid him in establishing Guiteau's in
sanity.
With regard to Tyner's resignation, which
has been required by the President, it is under
stood to be in accordance with the intentions
of the late President Garfield and affords
strong evidence that President Arthur means
to push the star route prosecutions to the bit
ter end.

Railway Wrecks.

In a railway collision near Leicester, England,
three pereons were killed and many terribly in
iured.
Five men were killed on the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad at Mckinney Station, 100
miles from Cincinnati, on the 18th inst. They
were on car containing water tanks, which
had been detached from coal train, with an
engine, to go little distance up the track. Re-
turning the engine became unmanageable, and
the car was driven with great force against
standing coal train. The men killed were
David and George Campbell, Of Mckinney,
who were riding for amusement; John Alcom,
Charles Knobbs and George Whippey, railway
employees. Another employe, Thos. Smith, had
both legs broken and DIR. Lane was badly hurt.
Whippey lived at Cleveland, o There is some
question about the cause of the inability of the
engineer to stop the engine.

DANGEROUS to Handle.

At the Paris electrical exhibition a
number of small fires and accidents have
occurred. On one occasion gentleman
was leaning over to examine closely an
interesting machine, when his gold
watch made connection between two
conducting wires which happened to be
exposed. The chain Immediately be-
came red-hot and set fire to the waist
coat, against which part of it rested.
The following day another man was al
most killed by dynamo-electric mach
inc. Part of the conducting wire was
not insulated, and was lying on the
floor He touched the stand of lamp
which formed part of the conducting sys-
tenn. His body then formed connec-
ton through the ground TO the naked
wire, and his muscles contracted so as to
cause his hand to clench the lamp. Ten
lamps were in circuit at the time, and SO
much current was passed through him
that eight of them were extlrguished.
He was powerless to unclasp his hand.
Every muscle in his body was para
lived. His face was distorted; his lungs
were so acted upon that he could scarcely
breathe. He could only utter a faint
and unnatural cry. The workmen in
the place fled from the workshop, be-.
lieying that some explosion was about to
happen. A friend came up and tried to
unlock his hand, but finding this impos-
sible lifted his legs from the ground.
This broke the circuit, and his hands
was released, while burning sparks flew
to his hands in the action breaking the
circuit. He was insensible, but has re-

The revenue steamer Thomas Corwin has
reached San Francisco from her Arctic voyage.
She brought home some of the wrecked whaler
Daniel Webster. At st. Michaels she learned
of the loss Of three vessels in Gallown's Bay,
but their names could not be ascertained. The
steamer in attempting to make a landing in
Wrangel Land had her rudder disabled, so cut
it away in the breakers to save the ship. On
Chamesso Island was found an astronomical
station bearing the Inscriptions of several
British ships. At Elephant Point, nearly the

representatives of the French and German gov

q reception.
The Yorktown celebration came to close on
the Goth with a review of the military and naval
forces on Temple Farm, the historic site of
CORVALLIS surrender, 100 years ago. The
regulars had the place of honor, the veterans
from the Soldiers Home at Hampton followed
and then came the militia Fully 10000 people
witnessed the affair. The Pennsylvania troops,
the Ninth Massachusetts regiment, and the
Virginia Brigade, commanded by General Fitz-

The Celebration at Yorktown.

The centennial Celebration at Yorktown COM
menced at daybreak on the 18th inst, with
an artillery salute. At 10 O'clock the governor
of Virginia held a reception at Lafayette Hall.
On the arrival of the president and cabinet, the
cornerstone of the monument was laid with
Masonic ceremonies, the grand master wearing
the sash and apron presented to George Wash
ington by Lafayette. Prayer was offered by
grandson of the Governor Nelson who COM
manded the Virginia militia at the battle of
Yorktown, and on the stand was q grandson of
Patrick Henry. The gavel was made from the
quarter deck of Commodore Perly's flagship.
Facing the dense crowd stood a row of cannon
surrendered by CORVALLIS. The French guests,
feeling that too much attention has been shown
to the German visitors ever since they reached
American soil, left the steamer Catskill, and
will entertain themselves ON their own vessel.
At the continuation of the exercises next day
speeches were made by President Arthur, and
