TnG guemillas of Peru are still able
to keep mp their irregular warfare
against Chill and thus to delay the
settlement of the questions growing
out Of the war of 1879. These bands
have just joined battle with the Chill
ian forces still quartered in the coun-
try where, according to report they
we're defeated with great slaughter.
This will probably have the effect OF
putting down these remnants of con
siderable army and hasten the time
when Peru shall again have control
of its own affairs to repair IN some
degree the ravages of war SO fatal
To its national integrity and indepen-
dence.

The Knights of Labor and the Tele
graphers.

Says a New York dispatch: 'From
all parts of the country comes the
same complaint from the defeated
operators and hnemen. If the
Knights of Labor had done their duty
we should not have failed is the gen
eral tenor OF the complaint"
Why did the KS of L. fail to con-
tribute the necessary funds to keep
the operators in idleness until the
telegraph company should in despair
surrender at discretion to the Broth
erhood, +" and turn over to John Camp
bell, Master Workman Morris, aud
Tom Hughes the management OF
their property and businessl
''This trouble with the Knights of
Labor was this, said a gentleman
who is prominently identified with
the New York local assemblies, 1.-The
average workngman siIi insist upOn
associating clothes with labor. They
attended the meetings of the
strikers and found them to be party
of well-dresssd. youDg men ard
women, wearing clothes such as Il rule
neither they nor their faniilies wore
either Sundays or holidays. They
were characterized as dudes. The
young men smoked cigars or cigsret-
tes instead of pipes, and looked much
more like clerks in dry goods stores
OF ike book-keepers than they did
what some of our people thought
should be the outward and visible
signs Of laborers. The linemen were
all right, because they wore jumpers
and overalls, and appeared in their
shirt-sleeves occasionally, but the S4J
suits, white necSties, boiled shirts aud
stoyepipe hats were too much fol
many of the laboring men, who didn'i
think such things consistent with peo,
pie who called themselves laborers.
That was the real cause of the apathy
among laboring men here, who arc
consistent members CT the Knights oI
Labor, and who have never before re-
fused to contribute liberally in aid oI
a strike"

The National Park.

A branch railroad has been COM
pleted from Livingston on the North
ern Pacific, to Cinnabar, ffty-seven
miles in the direction of Yellowstone
Park. At that point stages connect
and transport passengers directly TO
the Park. Probably, before the close
of the season, or early next summer,
this branch road will be completed to
the Park, so that the tourist will have
no staging thereafter, if he travels by
way of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
Additional facilities will be within
reach of the tourist who goes from the
Pacific coast. He will be able to
make the trip next year all the way
by rail, the Oregon and California
Railroad having been completed be-
fore next midsummer. Up {" this
date tourists have reached the Yellow
stone Park by means Of pack trains,
going nearly a hundred miles. TINS
method of transportation is costly and
tedious. The pack train gives way
for the stage. and the latter very soon
for the railway. The reservation Of
the park at present includes S,57j
square miles, or more territory than
is included in the two smallest states
of the Union. 1t has been proposed
to increase the reservation to 5000
miles. The smaller area embraces
portions Of Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho territories.

The Vide Vest will make her last
trip next Tuesday between Portland
and Astoria. During the past five
months she has made the run daily,
Wednesdays excepted, with remark
able regularity, leaving Portland at 8
A. n, touching at the FIVE principal
way landings, and reaching Astoria at
l1:30A N. Returning same day,
leaving Astoria at P. NJ, touching at
way landings, and reaching Portland
at $50 P. N. The Wide West, while
making these quick trips, has been of
great convenience 20 sll persons travel
ing on business or pleasure. Busi-
ness men could leave Portland in the
morning, stay an hour and half at
Astoria, and return to Portland the
same day. Visitors to the sea coast
could make the trip between Port
land and the different sea side resorts
in from ten to twelve hours. The travel
10 the coast this summer has been at
least three times greater than ever
before, principally on account of the
improvement in the facilities of reach
ing there. The regular boats x. X.
Thompson and Mountain Queen will
continue to rnn as usual, one leaving
Portland and Astoria daily Except
Sundays at 6 A. N, and arriving at
destination at 4 P. N. Passengers re-
turning from the coast after the
WIDE West is Withdrawn will have ia
stop over night at Astoria. The Ore
gOHi0n says that so soon IS the North
ern Pacific branch to K2lama is IL
operation all freight from Portland tc
Puget Sound will go by rail. and thil
will relieve the boats of the freight
traffic to Kalama, and the consequent
annoying delay to Astoria passengers
With this delay removed, and few
stops on the lower river, the regulal
boat ought to reach Astoria not later
than half-past two during the winter
In the meantime the Fleetwood vii
make fast trips as usual.

The Union Pacific has entered in

will not probably be utilized, unless
