The Affairs Of Chilli and Peru.


NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Peruvian advices, via
Panama, state that it is understood that Pierc-
la will not return to Peru. United States
Minister Logan is reported to be continuing to
work for peace. Chilian papers publish Presi-
dent Arthurs comments on the war and neu-
trails consider that his declarations will have a
pacifying effect and that the Chilians will work
more energetically in the direction of peace.
Pierola may be considered as having lost all
political influence and not to be dangerous as
an enemy of peace. Great Britain, Italy and
France have signed an agreement, under
which the claims of their subjects for damages
during the war will be Investigated and deter
mined. The commission extends two years,
and all awards made by it are to be received by
Chilli within one year. Germany will probably
join the convention. The total claims reach
an enormous amount.

sion, no ear for music, but also like
many others, he imagined that he ap.

daughter Becky, who is a fine pianist,
play piece that pleased him, and in
quired its title. She replied that it
was "Lucy Neal" and the Judge ever
afterwards declared it to be his favor

Gen. Grant,

Washington telegram, End inst, to
Minnesota Tribune: Gen. Grant s
name is often heard at Washington
this fall when there is any talk about
presidential nominations. Even those
who opposed him for third term at
the Chicago convention believe that
no objection upon the grounds of pro.
priety can now be urged. In group
of officials to-day there was a discus
sion Of the prospects Of various public
men. Said one: ''Mr. Arthur will
have in the next convention 300 votes
of the republican delegates from the
south. and l do not see how anyone
can get the start of him, with the
votes that must come from the DOrth.
Still, if it were to go to any one but
Arthur, don't know where the pres.
ldent would be more pleased to see it
go than to Gen. Grant. All can unite
upon him. Blame. while he has
great hold upon the people, yet has the
fercest antagonists III his own party.
We know all there is to know about
Grant. He has been tried in every
sort of fire. He has greatly improved
in many ways since his defeat at Chi
cagO. That did him good. He has
profited by his experience.

DID NOT WE'D.
A Marriage in High Life Postponed at
the Eleventh Hour,

BALTIMORE, Md, October 17.-For
months past the chief topic of CONVERSE
ton in social circles here has been the
approaching marriage of Miss Rebecca
Williams, daughter of the Hon. Geo.
Hawkins Williams, president of the
Maryland senate, and Henry A. Her
bert, ex-member of the British parlia-
ment. The nuptials were to have taken
place Monday evening at st. Paul's
Protestant Episcopal Church, and a
host of society folks congregated about
the magnificent edifce awaiting the
opening of the doors. About q
half-hour prior to the time
appointed for the ceremony the sexton
announced that the wedding had been
postponed, but he could not give any
reason therefor. The assemblage dis
persed, and many rumors were soon rife
as to the cause. Miss Williams most
intimate friends are reticent. Some say
it was occasioned by the non-arrival of
the brides trosseau from abroad, others
that it was caused by trouble over the
marriage settlement. At the Mary
land Club it is stated the cause
of the affair was the inability of
Herbert to convince the brides faith er
of the legality of divorce from his first
wife, which, it is said, was obtained by
him year or two ago in Ireland. The
affair has caused futter in society ex-
ceeding anything for twenty years
past. Miss Williams is a beauti-
full girl of 20, and worth a
quarter of a million dollars, while
Herbert is the owner of the
estate, upon which are located the
celebrated Lakes of Killarney. He is
reputed to be the largest laRdholder in
the south of Ireland. He met Miss
Williams at Newport the past season.
She is sister of Ernault Williams, who
disappeared SO mysteriously a year ago
on the eve of his marriage to a society
belle of this city, and who returned
equally mysteriously six months later,
and claimed he had been "shanghaied"
to Europe by rival. The Williams,
are heirs of Citing, their grandfather
who left ten millions.

Second Hand Shops in Paris.

The China toilet set of the late Adelaide
Nelson, for instance, every piece painted
with her monogram, encircled with
wreaths of roses, formed for long time
the chief ornament of a bric-a- brac on
the Rue de Septembre. The curtains
of gold-woven India cashmere, that
loyal and noble hands have SO often
pushed aside when they draped the
drawing-room door of q certain famous
Partisan actress, are growing dusty and
dingy now In another such establish
ment on the Rue de Provence. Nor are
royalty and high finance shut out from
furnishing their quota to the plenishing
of these chaotic precincts. Baron OPP
penheim's famous clock, the duplicate of
the one now owned by Mr.. Geo. Childs,
a figure of woman holding a pendu-
lum and standing on a lofty pedestal,
went from one of these establishments to
adorn princely mansion in one of the

Christmas diniug-room suit In satin and
gold is to be found, and the wedding
necklace in pearls with an emerald and
diamond clasp that Napoleon III. gave
to the fairest bride that within the last
thirty years has assembled European
throne. I know, too, who has for sale
the Russian sable mantel, the giving of
which to French actress caused the
downfall of Russian diplomat, and the
scarf of Spanish lace that Madam Mi
sard bought when Queen Isabelle found
it too dear. Somewhere among these
great shops are hidden the great tor
quoises that were borrowed for an even

dame from Roumanian magnate, and
which somehow or other miraculously
disappeared and never were heard of
more. I know the narrow little ware
house amid whose gloom, tower high in
the air the gigantic malachite vases that
were manufactured in Russia for Prince
Domidoff, and which took the prize at

WORRYING WILLARD.
Revival of the Rumor that He is About to
Resign the Presidency of the
Northern Pacific Railway.

New YORK, October 18.-No man
ever entered Wall Street who obtained
such blind confidence as Mr.. Willard, or
who commanded so much money or so
extensive and wealthy following. His
position today. SO far as Wall Street is
concerned, is less enviable than any that
Mr.. Gould ever held in it's esteem or that
Mr.. Vanderbilt now occupies. The ru-
mors that he is about to retire from the
presidency of the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad Company have been re-
vived and i sisted upon in spite of nu-
merous official denials. At the direc-
tors meeting yesterday color was given
to the report that he was about to retire
because he left the meeting before it adj
journed. The story is that he left some
what precipitously after receiving note
informing him that Oregon Railway and
Navigation was selling at SO. He is
said to have grabbed his hat and jumped
out of the room. The stock, however,
dropped per cent. further before the
jackscrews were got to work.
