THE PERU-CHILI MUDDLE.
More of Mr.. BIalne,s Instructions.

WASHINGTON, December 19.-All the cor
respoudence between the State Department
and the American legations to Peru and
Chill is being copied for transmission to the
Senate. Some Of 1t has already been pub
lished, and further portion is being fur
niseed to the press tonight. The follow
log extract in reference to claims against
Peru is Of interest in connection with the
matter telegraphed last night:
Secretary Blaine. writing to Mr.. Trescott,
the special envoy recently sent to Peru and
Chill, says: "SOme erroneous statements
now being circulated in a portion of the
American press may reach Santiago
and create an Injurious impression on the
minds OF the Chilisn Government; and l
write you this instruction from an excess of
caution, in order that no enduring harm may
result. The erroneous statements in the
press to which l especially refer are those
which represent this government as IN some
way givtng encouragement to the Cochet
claim against Peru, which being acknowl-
edged, should enable the United States to
pay an indemnity to Chill and then practi-
cally own Peru, either directly or through an
association Of American citizens. This is
an extreme statement, and it has many
shadings and variations. You will take
prompt and special care to anticipate any
evil that might result from these rumors
being circulated in Chilli by disayowal and
denial OF them In whole and In every
part. The only claim for which this de-
partment has instructed our Minister at
Lima to use his good offices is that known
as the Landrau claim, and this is to the ex-
tent only Of requesting that Mr.. Landrau
should be permitted to have an authoritative
investigation OF his claim by the Peruvian
Government, and that, If found to be good
and valid, 1t should be provided for in any
treaty with Chilli which might offset the
property which it attaches ="

The wealth of the English privileged
classes of Ireland is extraordinary That
of the nobility is seen in their enormous
landed estates; that of the middle classes
in their possession of "stoek" and their
banking accounts. A proof of the
ample means of the latter class is fur
nished in the bequests made in their
wills During the month of October
the particulars of the wills of some
thirty or forty private individuals were
published, and from these it appears that
the personal estate proved, in ten cases
only, was to the amount, in the aggre-
gate, of 81, 142, 900, or nearly Sc, ,00O, 900.
And this is about the monthly average
of such disclosures Not less remark
able than the extent of the accumulated
wealth is the use that is made of it by
the testators. After taking due care of
the heirs and other relatives, they have
posthumously devoted some thousand
of pounds sterling to hospitals, infirma-
ries and charitable institutions of various
kinds. Two hundred thousand pounds
have been thus bequeathed in October
only.

WAR TO THE KNIFE.
Preparing a Prison for the Ladies'
Land League-Steady Growth of
The s'NO Renu' Movement.

DUBLIN, December 19.-It is stated that
prison specially designed for females is
in course Of preparation for the reception
OF members Of the Ladies' Land League,
and that the arrest OF several prominent
members of the Dublin branch of that or
gsnization is expected.
All magistrates In Ireland have been in
siructed to attend a meeting of landlords
next Thursday, at which the Earl of Dysart
will preside, to express dissatisfaction with
the working of the land act.
The Commissioners under the land act
to-day decided that notice to fix rent, IL
served only upon an agents clerk, will be
deemed sufficient service. This decision,
against which no appeal will be allowed, is
to govern Is 600 cases.
LONDON, December 10 The Dublin cor
respondent OF the Times SAYS: "The organi-
cation against the payment of rents is
becoming still more formidable, and 1t is
regarded as a crime of as much consequence
to go into the Land Court as to pay rents.
Lists Of persons who have been served with
notices, and Of those suspected of paying
rents, are posted at the chapels and at
other places, where they are likely to be
seen, and, although the police tear them
down, they are soon posted again."

AS the Guiteau trial was adjourned over
Yesterday until Monday, the prisoner is TAX
ing another holiday in the jail. He is daily
growing more gloomy in his cell life, and
only brightens up when he gets into court.
Scoville stated last evening that he was
apprehensive OF an attack on Guiteau's life,
as letter had been received from an anony-
nous source that he would be attacked In
the van on December 21st.
Besides other warnings of projected at
tempts on the life of the assassin, a photo
graph Of man was received from Omaha

the avowed intention Of killing Guiteau.
Scoville has received by express a supi-
cious cigar box loaded with some heavy
substance. Ga the presumption that the
box contains some Internal machinery, no
one has yet ventured to pry 1t open. 1t has
been deposited in the back yard Of SEQ

dogs can tempt fate by nosing around it.
