ton on the subject was shown by the sub.
seauent action OF the secretary Of the
treasury, who telegraphed instructions to
the collector of customs at New York, to
cooperate with the commissioner Of I'M.
migration of that port, to prevent all i'm.
migrants landing found to be paupers
within the meaning of the law. In event
of such pauper immigrants having al
ready landed, as is reported to be the
case with large number shipped ON the
steamship Furnessia, the collector is to
take all practicable measures to have
them reshipped to the port from whence
they came.

Upon the recommendation Of the
second comptroller of the treasury, Secre-
tary Folger referred to the court of
claims for trial the case of General Adam
Badeau, U. S. A. (retired), now consul

the question of the right of retired

service to receive pay for both Offices 1t
also involved the general question
whether the acceptance by a retired army
officer of position in another branch of
the government is not equivalent to re-
signation of his commission.

CHILL AND PERU.
Senior Elmore, Peruvian minister here
in an interview to-day, said he had infor-
nation confirming the press dispatches
that the treaty between Chill and Peru
had not yet been signed. Being asked
what, in his opinion, it was Chili's mo-
tive to try to establish Iglesias, the Pc
ruvian minister replied, ''The govern
ment of Chill does not want to make
peace; does not wish peace. 1t only
seeks pretext for continuing the occu-
patton of Peru The meaning of its act
in setting Iglesias is tocreate anarchyfn
Peru, to set the Peruvians fighting among
themselves so as to justify its occupation
of Peruvian territory. Chill is seeking
to make arrangements with Brazil and
Argentine Republic, which will prevent
these two governments from giving her
any trouble on account of her war con-
quest, and with this object is holding out
to them inducements to become interest
ed" Elmore further said Secretary Fre-
linghysen sometime ago submitted to him
proposition for peace between the two
countries, which he (Elmorc) Thought
would be acceptabls to Peru, but OF
course Chill, which. will not recognize
Calderon, has thus far refused to accede
to the wishes of the united States.
81 think, said Elmoee, ''that
the good offices of q United
States will finally be successful
Another thing is, that public opinion in
Chill is, according to late information ]
have received, changing and setting
against the outrageous policy of tn,
Chilian government. This information
comes by the last mall Publ% opinion
may force the goye,,mrni tc ,ai,sSosr,
reasonable terms to Peru. Meantime
the Peruvians continue firm in thei
recognition of the Calderon and Monter
government and the Bolivians stand firm
with them.
