Plotting to Bleed Peru.

CHICAGO, March PA Times Washing
ton special says: There Is a growing dstrust
among South Americans residing here-di-
plomats and others-of our diplomats In
their country, created mainly by the recent
developments regarding the Credit Indus
triel, Dreyfus Brothers, and other similar
private claims in Peru. Not to put too
fine a point to it, our representatives in
South America, particularly in Chile and
Peru, are no longer regarded as legitimate
diplomatists, but as INSCRIPTIONS agents
intent only on getting their pounds of flesh
from nearest the Peruvian heart. 1t was re-
marked this evening by a prominent South
American diplomat, that Mr.. Trescott's
treaty of peace called for a larger cession
from Peru in money, lands, and guano than
Chile originally demanded or even expected,
and that a settlement far more favorable to
Peru might have been made but for the in
reference Of Prescott. Intimations are fire.
quently heard to the effect that our media
tors have left the service of the Credit In
dustriel-Dreyfus Brothers combination, and
other private claimants of the Peruvian es-
tate, and entered into the service of Chile,
the greatest claimant of all. The report
that Dreyfus Brothers claim of S16,0O0,OO0
against Peru, admitted and endorsed by both
Pierola and Predo, has been incorporated
with the Credit Industriel, Is variously COM
mented upon, aud the fact that President
Grevy, formerly the weIl-paid attorney of
Dreyfus Brothers, has requested Mr..
Morton to urge upon our Government
the propriety Of a joint Intervention on the
part Of France and the United States in
South American affairs, is condemned in the
strongest terms. General Hurlburt's resig-
nation has been received at the State De-
partment, and accepted. 1t was In reply to
. request forthe same. General Adams, Min
lister to Bolivia, has also been recalled.

airy Gath, very interesting paper on "The
lire Hazard Of the Electric Light" While
lie seems to entertain reasonable hope that
the "wonderful lamp" will In time be inn
proved and shorn Of its dangerous qualities
as an incendiary and assassin, 1t Is the burden
of the article that, as at present operated,
electric lights materially increase the fire
hazard. Numerous cases of fires and casu-
alties are cited as occurring from electric
lights or electric conductors. There are al
ready 800 electric lights on the Pacific coast,
one-third of which are In San Francisco.

SPEAKING of railroad construction In the
United States, the New York Herald says:
Fifty-fve years ago q charter was given TO
the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad Company TO
build Its line. The construction Of the Erie
canal was diyerting TO New York western
trade which Baltimore had hitherto OBJ
talned, and the merchants of the latter city
were compelled In self-defence to throw q
tramway over the mountains, following the
courses of the streams as the easiest path
way. In 1880 the first section of fifteen
miles TO Ellicott's Mills was opened. The
steam locomotive then was little known In
this country, or Its uses were imperfectly
understood, and the new line was operated
81 first by horses: 10 was attempted 10 pro-
pei the cars by sails, but the experiment
failed. Proposals were invited by the COM
pany In 1881 for the construction Of steam
engine, (which, when In operation, must not
exceed three and half tons In weight, and
must, on level road, be capable Of draw
ing, day by day, fifteen tons, inclusive Of the
weight OF the wagons, fifteen miles per
hour" During the same year the hsrses
gave place to the steam motsr, and the great
line was IN assured success. In the half
century that has followed we have built
more than $4,000 miles Of railroad, and now
nearly 10000 locomotives are required to
transport the millions Of passengers who lit
up and down and across the continent, and
the enormous and constantly increasing vol
ume OF trade. The capital stock OF The
roads ID set down, In round figures, ut
$3.50, 100000. II d held BY thousands Of
people at home and abroad. The funded
debt Of the lines IL nearly equal to their
capital stock. The gross earnings for 1881
are reported At s6lt, 900; the working
expenses, $500, 900 900; the net earnings,
10000 900; the interest on bonds, s107,-
100000; and the dividends On stock, ST.
100000.

reaper gathered him In with life's harvest I;

sketch of the popular American poet short

A project has been started by Contractor
Clark, of the Northern Pacific, and his asso-
ciates in New York, for irrigating on q large
scale the bottom lands of Clark's Fork bot
tom. The company has purchased from the
Governments 10000 acres of land on the Vel
lowstone, and an equal amount from the rail-
road. This extensive tract Is to be traversed
BY ditch fifty feet wide, through which
stream of water will be conducted eighteen
inches In depth for a distance of thirty-two
miles. Beginning at a point on the river
twenty miles above C0uson, this huge canal
will furnish an unceasing supply Of water to
every square foot Of an area of 10. 600 acres
Of land, the proprietors and occupants of
which win thus be rendered independent of
all contingencies Of drought. A small rental
per acre will be exacted from farmers, which
will bereadily conceded in view Of the great
advantage they will gain from the constant
supply Of moisture Herald. A good pro-
ject, but we don't understand by what law
company could buy such quantity OF land
from the Governments, or why q ditch should
BE- nifty feet wide and but eighteen inches
deep.
