article of the Treaty Of Kasr-es-Said
itself, and were still further confirm

BarthGIemy Saint Hilaire in the first
flush of his Tunisian success. 1t is
now difficult to conceive how a mat
ter of such paramount importance
could have been forgotten in the
acute stage of Tunisian politics. The
watchword Of the French in Tunis
has now come to be "Down with the
Capitulations," while the Italians cry
quite as Justify "UphoId the treaties"
and it is upon this question that issue
has been joined in Paris and Rome.
England, too, has an undoubted
right to a voice in the decision which
must sooner or later be arrived at,
and it is highly necessary that Eng
Iishmen, and above all English
statesmen, should understand the
latest Tunisian Quarrel-the battle of
the Capitulations-in all its bearings.
The Capitulations are the intorna-
tional compacts entered into by the
Deys, Diyan, aud Bcys Of Tunis with
the Christian Powers. They begin
with the convention concluded be-
tween Abou Add Allah, Rcy de Tu-
niz, and Jaeme, Roy dArago, de
Malorcha, Q de Valencia in 1910,
and end with the English Treaty Of
1875, During the six centuries
which elapsed between these two
epochs, the power Of Ohristendom
wrung numerous and important con
cessions from the rulers of Barbary,
which were embodied in these Capt.
tulations. Every European nation,
except perhaps Russia, has a vested
interest in the Tunisian Capitula-
tons. Some countries, like Spain,
italy, and America, are the guar
dams of half-a-dozen treaties at least.
An examination of the English trea-
~ of 1875 shows both the nature of
the Tunisian Capitulations and their
Importance. The Italian Treaty of
1868 almost exactly resembles the
English Treaty of 1875. The pre-
ambIe sets out that the convention
has been entered into in consequence
of the two Governments "being desir-
Gus to maintain and improve the
relations of friendship and commerce
which have long subsisted between
them and between British and Tunis-
ian subjects" Article II. provides
that "the British Consuls, Vico-Con-
suls, and Consular Agents shall con-
tinuo to enjoy in the most ample
sense all the privileges and immuni-
ties which are now, or may be here
after accorded to the Consuls, Vice
Consuls, and Consular Agents of the
most favoured nation" Every pos
sibIe protection is guaranteed to
British commerce. The seventh clause
declares that " His HIghness the Bey
engages that he viii not prohibit the
importation into the Regency Of any
article the produce and manufacture
of the dominions and possessions of
Her Britannia Majesty, from what
ever place arriving, and that the du-

Chilli & Peru.
from the Times

Chill to abate any of her terms. Chill is
completely victorious and Peru is pros
trate, but the very completeness of the
victory OF Chill is itself an obstacle to the
conclusion OF peace. The sacrifices and
efforts of a war lasting for more than three
years render the victor obstinate and exor-
bitant in his demands, while at the same
time Peru has lost so much that there is
little more to be lost by persistence in
desultory warfare. 1t is, nevertheless, in
every way to be regretted that hostilitics
should continue. 1t is impossible to be-
lieve that by its continuance Chill can
hope to gain any substantial equivalent for
the I~etfortS she Will have to make. She
may devastate what remains to be deYas-
tated of Peru, but she can hardly eXpectto
hold it in permanent subsection. The pas
slonS aroused by three years relentless
warfare carried on with the utmost SeVeri-
ty, not to say barbarity, on both sides,
have rendered anything like reconciliation
between the two peoples impossible. 1t
is, III fact, no longer q warfare between
States, for Peru has virtually ceased to lie
a State. Her capital, Lima, is occupied
by Gillian forces, and her scattered troops
are controlled by no central authority.
In such circumstances there seems no
reason why, ifChili is so disposed, hOstili.
ties should not be prolonged until there
hardly remains an organized force OF
4eruyIans in the country. But to all
appearance before that time comes Chill
Itself may be exhausted. The reaction of
such a wan may operate with terrible effect
even on the victorious State. and though
public opinion, so tar as it exists, has done
justice to Chill in respect of the original
cause of the quarrel, vet it is impossible
to commend the wisdom OF continuing Il
struggle from which no sort of advantage
can now be gained.
No man in his senses would persist in a
costly lawsuit against a declared bank.
rupt. Yet this is precisely what Chill is
doing. Its original cause was substan-
TALLY Just, and it has been completely vie
toriouS. The Peruvians are beaten, and
80 much beaten tlat there hardly remains
any competent authority with whom peace
can be made. The territ0ricSSoUt OF (which
the dispute arose are in the hands ,of
Chill, and its power Of eJa ting terms of
peace is limited lot SO much by what the
Peruyians are likely to accept as by what
Chill is able to enforce. That it cannot
enforce all it thinks itself entitled to de-
mand is proved by the rupture Of negotia-
lions. But surely II it were wise it would
find some means Of securing the substance
and r]clinquiShing the shadow. If the war
goes on for some months longer, or even
for O years. Chill will only be the poor

struggle. For every Peruvian that is
slain the survivors will be inspired with a
tiercer and more implacabie hatred, and
the prospects Of Chill in any event will
become all the more gloomy as every YES
tige OF organized government disappears
from Peru.
The real difficulty of the situation lies,
in fact, in this. Peru is reduced to such a
state of prostration that to the desperate
soldiers who alone represent what remains
Of the State resistance to the last seems a
lesser evil than surrender on any terms.
They know that they cannot save Peru,
but they still think, perhaps, that before
they are finally Subdued, Chill itself may
be ruined. This is the desperate impulse
of a man who finding himself falling over
a precipice clutches at the enemy who has
thrust him to the brink. He cannot save
himself, but he may still be able to DIES.

still be possible for byStanders to save
both. Mediation between the two belliger-
onts shas already been tried and failed
but it is impossible not to wish that the
attempt may again be made. AmCrC ceSsa-
ton ofactive hostilities would, at any rate,
be something gained. 1t would give time
for passions to cool and for prudent mon
to calculate the cost. Even if Chill, in
stead Of, wasting its energies in f~ruitIess
warfare, were to make some effort to re-
store settled government and civil autho-
rity in Peru, it would find itself the gamer

Yesterday morning a rancher from

les for the County Convention, and would
pay high for all that he could get. The
rancher went after the aforesaid candi-
date for Sheriff of Eureka County, and
offered him two proxies in the Demo-
cratic County Convention for 50 so.
''Sim" said he would like to have them,
but that he was not a Democrat, but

looking for proxies, and would buy them

VERY
A Faithless wife and Her ''DOuGh-
Eace'' Lover Caught.

The morality of Carson was shocked yes
terday at the occurrence of a domestic
episode which portrayed woman's frailty
and mans adherence Of licentious lust.
The particulars are these: John McGin-
lev, foreman of the Garfield mine near
Inning. had become aware of his wife's
inidelity and they had resolved to sepa-
rate, the wife to take the child, a sweet
little girl of six years, and the husband
to contribute to their support as long
as the woman did nothing unbecoming
to a mother. Mr.. Mckinley furnished
the women with money, with the under
standing that she was to go to Bodie.
After her departure from Luning Mr.. Nc
Ginley learned that she had bought a
ticket for the Mound House, and think
ing all was not right, he bent his way
to this city. The woman with her little
girl, in company with a young mar
named Sageby, who formerly worked for
her husband, and with whose milk-sop
countsnance she had become enamored,
arrived in Carson Friday night and secur-
ed rooms in an uptown lodginB-h0use.
Mr.. mckinley reached Carson Saturday
evening, and having ascertained the
whereabouts OF the guilty pair, repaired
to their apartments early yesterday morn
ing. Being refused admittance he broke
open the door and found the loving couple
in f~iagrante delioto, folded in each others
arms. mckinley proceeded to give Sageby
a drubbing, when the women tool sides
with her paramour. mckinley was 10th to
strike a woman, but as she proved herself
a better man than her companion, the in
jured husband was compelled to admins
ter q slight chsstisement. Mr.. MCKINLEY
secured his little daughter and left the
couple to renew their wanton pleasures.
The women and her lover left on the train
last night, going west. Before the train
moved off the husband stood on the plat
form with his little girl clingipg about his
neck. The disgraced II unhappy
bent hor face against the car window

treasure whose innocent heart has not vet
learned to hsrbor aught but simplicity
and love.
