CHILI-PERU.
TERMS OF TRESCOTTS PROTOCOL
Meant-COnditIODs offered TO the
Conquered RepubIfc-The POIiGT-
clans in Lima Looking Out for the
Main Chance.

PANAMA, March 1.-THE text of the pro-
tocol between Mr.. Trescott, United States
Minister Extraordinary to Chill, and senor
Balmaceds, Chilian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, is printed in the official papers in
Lima.
1t sets forth, in regard to the seizure of
Calderon, that Chill abolished the authority
OF Garcia Calderon within the lines held by
the Gillian troops, and that he was arrested
without any intention of offending the
United States or any other neutral power,
and simply in the use Of the legitimate
rights of belligerents.
In the second article the United States
eliminate from the discussion the possibility
of armed Intervention, and will offer their
mediation only in the event OF the belli-
gerents expressing a desire to obtain it, and
when its acceptance would lead to results
satisfactory to both.
In the third article Chill declares her feel
iugs of friendship and confidence, but, II
they were offered, she would accept the
good offices of the United States in the con-
test with Peru, IL in employing such good
offices the United States would accept the
terms of peace which Chill is disposed to
offer the enemy, It being understood that
If the United States should not obtain the
consent of Peru to the conditions of peace,
which serve as basis for the employment
Of the good offices, in such case the action
OF the United States between the belliger-
ents will at once cease.
Chill agrees to give every honorable facil-
itY to Mr.. Trescott to enable him to COM
municate with any PERUVIAN authorities or
Individuals, whom he may consider proper,
with the exception only of Garcia Calderon,
who is prisoner of war. The basis upon
which Chill agrees to celebrate peace" is
as followe:
First. The cession to Chilli Of all Puruvian
territory south of Camarones Quelrada.
Second. The occupation of the depart
ment of Arcia and Tacna for ten years, at
the expiration of which time Peru will pay
20000 600. Should said sum not be paid
TO Chill at the expiration of ten years the
territory of Arcia and Tacna will remsin,
apSO fdctO, ceded to and incorporated with
the republic of Chilli. Peru may fl in the
terms OF peace longer term than ten years,
but always subject to the same conditions.
Should Arcia return to the dominion of
Peru 1t shall never be fortified
Third Chill shall occupy the Lobos
Islands whilst guano remains on them, and
the net prGceeds of such guano, as also of
that from the deposits which are known
and being worked in Tarapaca, shall be
equally divided between Chilli and the
creditors q Peru.
Politicians In Lima are reportedtO be busy
and, as usual, are more interested in the
triumph of the party than in the regenera-
ton of the country and making peace with
it's conquerors. Pierola's party is strong,
but the Calderon faction is not dead or inert
by any means.

RraadstuG.t0 Britain.

LONDON, March 2l.-The Mark Lane Err
press, in It's review of the British grain trade
for the past week, says: "Wheats are not
growing too fast, although the weather has
been that of May. Farmers deliveries con-
tinue to decrease. Fine samples improved
61a1s. at several of the provincial markets,
owing 10 scarcity. Inferior samples were
rejected. Sales in London slightly i'm
proved. In foreign, trade began to rally,
having touched the lowest point. American
red and choice white wheats are 3da61. bet
ter. The supply has been heavy, one-half
of it being American. The off coast market
has been steadier. There were sales
of nine cargoes during the week, four of
which were for the Continent Trade for
ward was firmer with less on offer. Flour
was steady. Foreign was In heavy supply.
The quality of much of the American afost
is inferior. Prices were steadier, but i'm
proved. Barley was sluggish and ates were
dropping. Foreign was dull and slow Of
sale. In oats the demand was nominal at
unchanged rates. Foreign was quiet.
Maize, mixed American, improved Is. Cd.
In London and Liverpool the sales of Eng

full statement Of the claims of the Peru
Wan Company on their merits. The Secre-
tary listened with what seemed to Shipherd
a great deal more than merely courteous
attention, now and then interfering ques-
tions, showing that he was following every
point with care and precision. He suggest
ed some difficulties from q legal point of
view. That we Americans had purchased
the claim and expected the United States
Government to enforce It against Peru.
After full discussion the Secretary asked
Shipherd to suggest what was wanted from
our government. To this Shipherd In effect
replied:
"At present we can ask almost nothing.
We cannot 90 into court down there until
Peru denies the claim, and until this is done
we have no right to ask our government to
interfere. We can only ask provisional
remedy. Peru is now shipping our guano,
and is about to make an arrangement to pay
her war indemnity with 1t. All we desire is
that an official notification be sent to both
Chill and Peru that there is an American
title associated with that guano, and that
whoever takes # will do so with notice of
that assertion"
The Secretary replied: 'That is not ask
ing much"
After this matter had been fully dis
cussed, ard 1t was made plain to the Secre-
United States Government to assert its
claim, the conversation took some other
turn and was finally closed with the remark
by the Secretary: "Now, what do you want
me TO do ?"
Shipherd replied in substance, as before
stated, that this government should send
notifications Of the American title to the
guano, and the Secretary replied that he
would do so at once.
In further ron1v m ouaeffOpa 2h{nher1
explained that the employment OF the
Senator in question as attorney was not
because he was Senator, but because he
was known to be particular friend OF Mr..
Baine's. Shipherd stated he had several
other interviews with Blaine after the one
described-one at the State Department.
INTERNAL REVENUE REDUCTIONS.
The Ways and Means Committee to-day,

liquors, malt liquors and manufactured to-
bacco, and the taxes on bank circulation,

their discretion the reduction of the tax on
cigars and the special taxes on dealers In
these manufactures.

ing for the election of Postmasters, Mar
shals. District Attorneys, etc, bv the people

DAMON AND PYTHIAs OUTDoNE.-
Who can say that the story of Damon
and Pythias is a myth, after reading
what occurred in the woman's depart
ment of the Tombs last week? Upon
the death of Matron Foster, after thirty
six years of service, it became the duty
of the Police Justices to consider which
of her two assistants should fill the
vacant position. They decided upon
Miss French, but that lady declined, and
insisted that her associate, Miss Adam
son, should be the new Matron. There
upon an unprecedented scene occurred.
The two women, with tears and supplica-
tions, appealed to the Magistrates to
give the better position to her friend, not
to herself. The matter was finally com
promised by Miss Adamson accepting
the post of Matron, with the under
standing that Miss French should get
half the salary. The hardened Police
Magistrates were seen to wipe their
eyes during the generous contest be-
tween the women, and probably nothing
exactly like it has ever occurred in the
history of American official patronage

COST OF A RAILROAD WAR.
The Recent Trunk Line Fight Made
atang expense of $IOO,OOO,OOO.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
From the many interesting paragraphs
in the memorial of the Maritime Ex-
change recently the following extract Is
taken, showing the enormous cost of the
late railroad war;:
''The amount of grain moved East by
rail during the year 1881 to the four At
lantic cities was 205. 100000 bushels,
equal, at an average of fifty.five pounds
to the bushel, to 1851, $50 tons. Add
33 per cent. for the tonnage in provisions
and other merchandise, then deduct 25
per cent. for the three months before
the freight war was inaugurated, and
we have a total tonnage for the nine
months as above, say, of 5,651 $50 TONS
At the beginning of this war, grain
and similar freight was thirty
cents per 100 pounds, and it was quickly
reduced to seven cents per 100 pounds.
The average reduction would be fairly
stated at twenty cents per 100 pounds,
or 81 per ton; making a total loss of
$22, sos, 900 to the four trunk lines and
their Western connections from Chicago
and similar points East in nine months
1t is useless to say that this compelled
the railroads to work without profit on
this immense volume of business. That
they worked at very serious loss we
need not undertake to demonstrate, and
we would ask whether four years of
such work would not go very far toward
qoiping out all the railroads in the
country north of the Ohio river
'In these calculations we have not
estimated the result of the widespread
distrust engendered in our commercial
credit; nor of shaken confidence in our
national securities; nor of the blow given
to the reviving interests and general
prosperity of the country; nor has ac-
count been taken of the tremendous de-
cline in the value of the bonds and stocks
of these railroads themselves, and the
consequent loss to and suffering of Indi-
viduals, including widows and orphans,
who had their funds invested therein.
Do we overstate the case when we say
that the total loss, in all its ramifications,
would be nearer 100000. 600 than $2s,

Unfit for Arctic Work.

In the Philadelphia Times of Wednes-
day two letters from Engineer Melville
to his wife were printed, one written be-
fore he left San Francisco and the other
during the voyage of the Jeanette. In
the first he expresses doubt as to the sea-
worthiness of the vessel, saying that the
Tigress was bad enough, but that the
Jeanette was much worse. He said
that he had left nothing undone to pro-
vide against what was ahead of him, and
he was not going to back out, but that
the Jeanette would never come back,
because she could not stand the ice In
the second letter, which contained the
last news received from the Jeanette
until Melville sent the telegram announ-
cling that she had been crushed in the
ice, he said: "We dii not send our con-
voy back from st. Michael's as we ex-
pected, because we were too deeply
laden already to take on our stores.
1t was very fortunate for us we
had her to carry our extra coal
and stores over here, for on the way
we were caught in terrible gale of
wind, and owing to the condition of the
ship and deeply laden as we were the sea
had clean sweep over US. 1t stove in
our forward parts, carried away the
bridge, caved the bulkheads, and in fact
just drowned us out. Had we the other
stuff on board we must have foundered
or else got it overheard in time. We
leave here for East cape to-day, having
taken on board all our stores, and we
are in even much worse sea condition
than we were before. but we think that
maybe when we get into the ice where
the wind can't raise sea we will be 0.
K. We learned from natives that Nor
denskjold, the Swedish navigator, had
passed out through the strait. So that
that part of our duty is done, although
we are going to the westward of East
cape as far as Nordenskjolds winter
quarters to make sure of his escape from
the ice. After that we point north for
Wrangel Land, if we can. If not we
may drift in the pack ice toward the
North Pole"
This letter was dated st. Lawrence
Bay, west coast of Behring Strait,
August 26, 1879.

SERGEANT MASON.
The Judge Advocate General FavOrs
a Modification of His Sentence.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Judge Advocate
General Swain has made a report to the
Secretary of War upon the case of Sergeant
Mason, in which It is understood he recon-
mends the modification of the latter's SEN
tence. The ground upon which he bases
this recommendation is that Guiteau was rot
in a position where he could possibly have
been killed by Mason, when the latter fred
the shot, and that under such circumstances
the charge of assault with intent to kill
cannot be sustained. This view OF the case
is said to be supported by long line Of
precedents

LONDON, March 21.-The Daily Ne,Cs and
other papers remark that Lord Harting-
toms intimstion in the Honse of Commons,
last night, that the fate Of the government
is dependent on the cloture resolution, is
unmistakable.
Lord Sallsbury's efforts to excite public
opinion ON the subject are undated. Re-
plyiug to an address of the Bradford Con
ervative Al ISOLATION, he writes:
"The present time is most critical. It is
proposed to abolish liberty Of speech in the
House of Commons; BFadlaugh is Virtually
supported by the government and Mr.. Glad

two Houses into conflict simply to crafty

writes to the FTeenldn's Journal announcing
his intention to support the cloture resoIu-
tious. He hopes the Independent Irish

Serious Aspect of the Lawrence
Strike.

LAWRENCE, MASS, March 21.-This morn
ing the strikers showed signs Of weakening,
and about forty returned to work. Later
in the day meeting was held and union
formed. An agent of one Of the Fall River
mills is in the city employing some Of the
striking spinners. This encouragement
from elsewhere and the formation of the
union stiffened up the strikers and CORES
pondingly alarmed the mill men, and mat
ters have taken q serious turo. The cor
poTation proposes TO close the entire
worsted works This will throw 5000 per.
sons out of employment for an indefinite
period.
At six o'clock tonight the Pacific Mills
We're closed, to remain shut, as far IS the
mill help are concerned, indefinitely. The
weavers aud spinners, who have com
mittees canvsssing the city for aid
to enable them to maintain their
position, claim that they are fully
sustained by the citizens, but those who
were free with promises heretofore now
appear among the foremost to deplcre the
situation by the strike and lockout. There
are stopped 1876 900 cotton spindles, %, 500
worsted spludles, 4,500 looms and other
machinery, throwing fully $500 employees
out Of work. The closing of the mills has
cast gloom over the city.
