CHICAGO, May 2G,-The Times Spe.
oial pays: 1t Is announced that an
agreement had been entered into be-
tween the Union Pacific and the
Northern Pacific railway under which
the territory west of the Snake river,
In Oregon, Washington and North
Idaho, should DO regarded as belong
Ing to the Northern Pacific, or VII
lard combination, and all cast of the
Snake river should belong to the Un.
ion Pacific, or Gould combination.
The agreement Is understood to con-
tain further stipulations In refer
enoe to the joint occupancy of
the territory of Montana. Under
the agreement the public Is
given to understand that
the extension of the Union Pa
clio known as the Oregon Short Line,
was 70 terminate at Burnt river, and
the Baker City branch of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company to
terminate ut the same place, where q
junction would bs formed. 1t trans.
pires that little or no regard Is being
paid to the alleged agreement, as 1t
is said that the Oregon Short Line Ia
expanding thousands Of dollars in the
survey and location of a line beyond
the point where 1t was understood to
have agreed to stop.
The impression Is given out that
Willard has been giving the Union
Pacific a wild goose chase, and is put
ting his forces In the field to occupy
the territory east of the Snake river,
and to take In Boise City upon an in
vitation from its citizens, who are
anxious to have a competing line.
Many do not believe the road will
build 900 miles through the desert
country and then stop 400 miles short
of the Pacific coast at the very thresh'
hold of the section that would furnish
the very best of local traffic. Fol
this reason they favor an extension Of
the Northern Pacific, and rs 9

N1CKERsoN's FALSE PRETRNcEs.
Some time previous to the institu-
ton of proceedings for his divorce,
Major Nickerson applied to the war
department for an sttested record Of
his military services He assigned as
q reason for preferring this request,
that he proposed going abroad and ex.
pected to visit Egypt 10 witness the
military operations there, incident to
the war then In progress between the
English government and the khedive,
and as he (Nickersop) was not q grad
uate of West Point, ne desired to use
az credentials an attested copy of his
military record. Although contrary
to precedent, the department acceded
to his request and papers were duly
prepared In the adjutant generals
office. Major Niokerson did not go
abroad, but 1t now transpires that the
papers were used In the trial of the
/ divorce case to establish the high
standing and record of the plaintiff in
the suit.
PERU AND CHILL.
Senior Godoy, CHILEAN minister, has
advices from his government, via the
Mexican legation, Paris, announcing
tho ratification Of n treaty OF peace be-
tween Chill and Peru. His advices
state that General Iglesias, who signed
tho treaty on behalf of Peru, Is ac-
knowledged In the whole of northern
and central Peru. The terms of the
treaty include the cession to Chill for
ten years of the provinces of Tarapaca
and AFRICA acna, provision being made
that on the expiration of that term
the question as to whom the ceded
territory shall thereafter belong shall
be submitted to q popular vote of the
people Of the territory, the country to
whom the territory Is voted to pay the
other $40, 000, 900 before acquiring
possession.
Senior Godoy says northern and
central Peru, which has acknowledged
Iglesias, constitutes about FIVE .sixths
of the whole territory of Peru and
includes the capital, Lima, and the
principal seaport, Callao. He says
also the treaty provides for occupation
by Chill of the coded territory during
the ten years covered by the terms Of
the oesslon, and In all probability the
Chilian army of occupation Is now in
Luna and will remain there until the
Peruvian government fully organized
and otder Is entirely restored.
Senior Godoy states that the terms of
the treaty were arranged by the
Gillian plenipotentlary and Gen.
Iglesias, representative OF Lima, an,

him, the treaty vas returned to Lima

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Motives are better than actions.
Whatever you do, do cheerfully.
The unjust mind is ever in labor.
We cannot live to ourselves alone.
A boaster is always to be suspected
A trusting nature is loving nature.
Too much reserve makes us miserable.
He ethat dOeth no injury fears no injury.
A love of money is a great enemy to
honesty.
Avarice is generally the vice of abject
slaves.
Love. like charity, covers a multitude
of faults.
A mans ruling passion is the key to
his character.
Warmth of feeling is one thing-per-
manence another.
A heart OVerflOwing with feeling draws
loy like magnet.
4 prayerless life is like watch with
on any handspring.
he deepest feeling often lies in si-
louce; the lightest in words.
Well directed toll will insure success
in every walk OF life, high or low.
Hardship and toll are necessary for de-
yelOpment of power and strength of
character.
How grand, how glorious the thought
that there is a place where all is free
from the taint of sin and evil
1t is often owing to a consciousness of
designing temper in ourselves that we
are led to suspect others.
Few hOnOrs. fortunes or purposes are
gained without venturing or running "a
risk of failure and danger.
There is no greater weakness than that
of letting our happiness depend too
much upon the opinion of others.
Our success or failure in life depends
on nothing so much as the confidence
we place in our ability to accomplish.
Tempters and temptations lie in every
path, and vigilance is needed every mo
ment to go forward without wOunding
or being wounded.
There's many that have emerged from
the depths of poverty and Obscurity, be-
cause they possessed that one key to sue
ess-self-Teliance.
