1nternational Protest.

PANAMA, March 25. -Representatives
of France. Great Britain, Italy and Hol-
land and Belgium have protested against
the signature of the eighth article ofthe
treaty of peace between Chill and Peru
which establishes that Chill will give the

net proceeds of the guano exported until
the deposits now being worked are e.
hausted. The protest is made on the
ground that the debts of Peru before the
war were guaranteed with her guano
nitrate resources consequently if Chill
persists in the intention to appropriate
the Peruvian territory, she must assume
all obligations bearing on that territory
and that anti date to outbreak of hostilitios,
and that whilst Peru has no right to sign
away property formerly conveyed to Other
persons, Chill cannot knowingly accept tt
transfer goods belonging to third parties

LONDON, March 25.-General Graham
has ordered the concentration of the Brit
ish force at Handouk and Otata, prior to
marching out Thursday morning to give
Osman Digma a battle near Tamanied.
Osman has 1000 combatants. All the
leading Sheikhs continue their adherence
to him, and report of the scouts that Os-
man had fed is discredited. General
Graham's messenger who was sent to ask
the sheikhs to come to the British camp,
returned with a reply from Osman that
the sword was the only medium of com
munication between herself and the En-
glish. The cabinet council to-day decided

march to Berber if necessary, to keep the

PARIS, March 25.-At a meeting of the
adherents of Prince Jerome Napoleon
(Plon Plon), held last night under the
princes sanction, Pascal, a member of the
chamber of deputies, entered into an
elaborate explanation of Prince N~apoleon's
method for a revision of the constitution.
He said in substance hat when Prince
Jerome announced that his ambition was
to become IN emacipator, calumny brought
the accusation against him that this was q
mere after thought, but Prince Jerome's
ardent desire is that the power of express
ing the national will shall be transferred
to the peoples voice. Prince Jerome will
never sanction the resorting to violent
measures in order to secure it, however
he relies on the chances of his name.

War on the Ranges.

The bad feeling between the cattle and
sheep men, which exists all over the
country, is particularly marked in New
Mexico, owing to the fact hat the cattle
men there are mostly Americans, while
the sheep owners are generally Mexicans,
the common race dislike thus appearing to
aid greater bitterness to the natural con-
fict of the two interests. According to
the Las Vegas Gazette, it now appears
that there is a good prospect for a lively
struggle between the two classes of stock
men in that territory this spring. Says
that paper: While the cowboys from the
big ranches were in Las Vegas last week
they decided among themselves upon a
plan of action to be carried out this season
against the sheep herders who have been
infringing upon cattle ranges. Every
cowboy who was not the possessor of a
Winchester purchased one before leaving
the city, and the first fellow who allows his
sheep to Craze on territory where cattle
use will be ordered to skip with his flock.
If he refuses to obey the command wal
will be declared on the spot, and an en-.
gagement will open without ceremony,
The annoyance from sheep herders ha!
been suffered to a considerable extent Oh
the Pecos and in the Panhandle of late
years, but it will not be tolerated this
year. There viii be exciting times during
the round-ups soon to commence, and We
may hear Of exciting scenes before they
are over Wnchesters are a bad gun Il
stand before when in the hands of deter
mined cowboys, and when they are turned
loose somebody is pretty apt to tumble.

supposed him a widower, but he proved
to have another wife and when she
learned this she abandoned him. The

esting.

man was found lying under the Cincinnati and
Newport bridge on the Cincinnati side, the
head restingon one hand on the mud drum of
steamer, as if asleep. The only wound was on
the underside of the left jaw and the neck was
broken The theory that he had fallen from the
bridge was disproved by the easy position, and
by the absence of injury that fall of sixty
feet would produce He was well dressed,
five feet ten inches high about twenty-five to
thirty years old, with sandy hair, light mus
tache and very high forehead No money or
papers were found on his person. The young
man was drinking last evening in several saloons
and displayed much money. He started across
the bridge, and it is supposed he was killed,
robbed and placed under the bridge to give

Cowgills own delegation. When Huntington
county was reached on the third ballot Mr..
Cowgirl who sat with the Wabash delegation,
rose to speak, and was recognized by the chair
man. He said that he did not believe that at
that period of his life he was remarkably ambi-
tious for any Office. He loved the Republican
party now as he had loved it when he became
member of it at the time of its birth. He loved
it because he believed it to be the means of more
good than could be accomplished by any other
organization. He had seen before the conven-
ton assembled that he was not to be selected as
the standard bearer of the party in the district.
For this he did not care, for he felt independent
of all Offices. His only desire was to
see the party united. We are about
to enter upon campaign the like of which we
to see the convention nominate man who would
draw to the party the greatest strength His
remarks were here interrupted by loud cries of
"Steelel Steele!' and, as they subsidized, cries
for 'Tyner!" burst forth. The uproar was so
great that nothing could be heard, and several
minutes elapsed before quiet could be restored,
when Mr.. Cowgirl resumed by calling upon the
delegates to act like true Republicans, loving
their cause above any man, and to make no mis-
take. He closed by announcing his withdrawal
as candidate Cries for Steele and Tyner
again burst forth, and for more than five minutes
uproarous confusion prevailed No attention
was given the chairmans rapping and calls for
order. The band joined in the tumultous noise
The chairman announced that no attempt
could be made to proceed with the business of
the convention until order should be restored AS
the call of the counties for the ballot again be-
gan, shouts for Tyner were renewed, The
chairman stated that ''Mr. Tyner would come
forward at the proper time, if nominatedT
General Tyner arose from his seat on the stage
and responded, ''Mr Tyner will come forward
at the proper time whether nominated or not"
Again the demonstrations were renewed but
the convention finally becoming quoted the call
