The banks have already hit upon plans to
nullify the bad effects of the law to extend
their charters, in regard to silver certificates
and the over-certfcaton of checks. The ease
and raridity with which this has been done
will probably make some of the exceedingly
wise LEGISLATORS in Washington wink The
clause intended to compel National banks to
accept silver certificates on par with goid

Although we are lavshing millions in pen
sions. there is no reason why great care should
not be taken to see that as little as possible
of this money goes to persons who nave no
right to it. No doubt thousands OF dollars
will never reach those whom they are supposed
to reach. Senator Beck's amendment direct
ing that the Commissioner of Pensions should
publish in every county where pensioners live,
both in newspapers and by displaying a list
in the post Office, was good one. IL is no
disbonor to be an honest pensioner OF the
Government, and it can hardly be an affront
TO publish such a PERSONS name any more
than it is an affront to honest men to pass
laws against stealing. And the publication OF
such lists might save rightful but ignorant
claimants of pensions from frauds, as wei as
direct attention to persons who have no right
TO aid from the Government. The amendment
was not adopted by the Senate. but perhaps
a separate bill embodying the idea might DO
more successful.

PERU'S PLIGHT.
MOnteross Authority DIsputed-Ex-
sections of the ChIIians.

PANAMA, April 25.-Advices from Peru
indicate that Montero, who now styles him
self Provisional President, is much troubled
by one Puga, of the province OF Chota,
near the Brazilian frontier, who, under pre-
tence Of repelling the Chilian forces, seized
quantity of arms and munitions intended
for the provisional army, armed a body of
twelve hundred men, and, intoxicated with
success and his opportunity, styled himself
Supreme Chief of Peru" and now chal-
lenges Montero's authority. The lat
ter deems it wise not to mo-
lest Puga for the present.
MOntero's policy row is one OF peace. No
large army is maintained, and the demands
for taxes and forced contributions are very
moderate Foreigners in Lima complain
loudly OF the exsctions Of the Chilisns, who
impose heavy contributions, and exact pay
ment in silver, which is an almost unknown
currency.

funeral of Minister Hurbut we're repeated

DIR. LAMSON'S CASE.
Earl Granville on american Inter
ceskiOn.

LONDON, April 25.-In the House of Lords
to-day, Earl Granville, Secretary OF State
for Foreign Affairs, replying to the Earl OF
Milltown, quoted presidents where the B-i-
tish Government had made representations
similar to those made by the United States
in the Lamson case. The United States, he
said, did not interfere with English admir-
istration Of justice, but merely intimsted
that there might be a cause for cIemency.
Generally a fortnight was allowed for
consideration in such cases. But as the
evidence in this one came from the United
States, The time was somewhat extended.
Had the United States interfered with the
British municipal law, no language would
have been too strong to re-
sent the indiguity, but no minister
would undertake the responsibility OF de-
clining to listen to a statement that import
ant Information was forthcoming In the
case OF a man condemned to death.
The Marquis OF Salisbury spoke In a simi
lar strain. but deprecated expression Of
opinion until the papers were seen.

the total destruction of no less than

located directly in the heart Of the business

impossible to s.ve anv Of the contents of
