PERU AND RECIPROCITY.

WASHINGTON, May 21-Senor Solar, the
new Peruvian minister; William X.
Grace, who has large interests IN Peru,
and Edward Eyre, the president OF the
Peruvian chamber of commerce. are IN
Washington to secure the negotiation of
reciprocity treaty between this country
and Peru. In talk with reporter, the
minister said:
"Our people are learning that it it better
to seek the development of our country
than to engage in revolutions. and l be-
lieve that we will hereafter be fortunate
in possessing stable government. The
people who were formerly wealthy enough
to care very little whether or not war
came are now anxious for peace, in order
that they may build up their fortunes by
steady work The army is contented and
cannot be corrupted. The outbreak last
December was promptly quelied by the
troops and they may be relied upon to up
hold the government.
Mining and agriculture are the two
great foundations of our future prosperity.
The discovery of vast beds OF nitrates dl-
verted the attention Of our people from
our great mineral wealth, but now that
many of these nitrate deposits are no
longer ours, the people are returning TO
the mines Peru has always been rich in
minerals. and the stories OF the great
wealth of the Incas are no follIes. We
lack, however, capltai, ana LOT tniS we
look largely to the United States. Already
there are many Americans in Peru who
have established stamp mills and smelling
works. Two Americans who started a
beer brewery and an ice factory have sold
out at a large profit to an English syndl-
cate :"
1--WE export coffee, sugar and India rub
Der, as well as hides and wool. Some of
our land needs irrigation, while other To-
calities are naturally well watered. There
is IA place called Piura On the northern
coast where the soil is so peculiar that one
rainy year is sufficient for ten years OF
crops. The ancient Incas irrigated this
place and their canals are still standing
although not serviceable because some sec
tions of them have been destroyed by time.
When these breaks are repaired the people
can use the canals and then even the one
rainy year will not be needed"

one foreign steamships have touched at

The United States consul at Naples re-

IN THE INTEREST OF SCIENCE

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, May 21-Prof. C. F.
Adams, a widely known naturalist of
this city, left some days ago for New
York, from which city he sailed for Aspin-
wall, and thence to Panama by rail.
From Panama he goes by Pacific steamer
to Guayaquil the principal port of
Ecuador. From Guayaquil a sailing ves-
sci viii be taken to the Galapagos islands,
due west 600 miles on the equator in the
Pacific ocean. Prof. Adams will be ac-
companied by DR.. G. Baur, of Clark uni
versity, Worcester, Mass. Both gentle
men are naturalists of much experience,
and the journey will be one of considerable
interest, especially to students of natural
history. They expect to spend some
six months or more in an lnvesti-
CATION of the fauna of the islands, which
takes their name from the Spanish, mean
ing tortoise and are the only place where
the mammoth land tortoises are known to
exist at the present day. These tortoises
grow to an immense size, frequently
weighing 600 pounds. Messrs. Adams
and Baur intend to make some observa-
tions upon these and other species of
animal life, with view to ascertaining
what light they throw on the derivation
of species. 1t is a fact that in the islands
there are species of birds and animals
found upon one of them and nowhere
found upon any of the others. While
making their Investigations these gentle
men will make collection of specimens for
the museums of several educational insti-
tuuions in this country.

A NEW CATTLE DISEASE.

EMPoRIA. Kan, May 2f.-Cartlemen in
this vicinity are somewhat concerned over
an alleged new cattle disease which has
made its appearance in this county, and
yesterday County Commissioners Loy and
Bird and Veterinary Surgeon Richards re-
turned from Wycoff, where they inspected
several cows belonging TO Mr.. May, who IS
a tenant of one of the Plumb farms. Five
cows, all afflicted with tubercles. COM
prised all of the cattle on the place. Four
were killed. a post mortem examination
of the first one afflicted was made. The
disease had been present in the system for
about two months, and the whole body
was covered with tubercles, and the fact
that the other animals were taken In the
same way proves the disease to be con-
tagious. There was no perceptible change
in their outward appearance with the ex-
ception of small hard, lumpy knots on the
jaw and about the head. There was no
shrinkage in weight, nor falling off in the
supply of milk. The remaining COW will
be experimental with to determine if the
disease can be cured.

Many members of the board protested
against my resignation as corresponding

THE iTAL IAN CONTROVERSY

ROME, May 2I.-The controversy with
the United States growing out of the New
Orleans massacre is playing an important
part in Italian politics. II furnishes ma
terlal Tor the opposition and may vet re-
suit in the overthrow of the present minis
try. 1t Is reported that the MARQUIS ii
Rudini avows that Signor Corte was re-
called from New Orleans because the cabi-
net did not approve of his conduct.
The press sharply attacks the prime min
lister. The Ritorm says: His conduct of
foreign affairs has been series of fixtures.
There has been woeful want of energy in
the management of the New Orleans cor.
poudence. In this and other instances
the laxness of the government has seriously
compromised the prestige of Italy abroad :
Signor Nocoteri, minister of the interior.
is making determined onslaught upon
the anarchist societies throughout Italv.
He has ordered every project in the PROV
lnces to make raids upon the local clubs
until they are eNterminated Meanwhile
The minister himself is waging war upou
the Objectionable disturbers of order in
their stronghold in this city. where. des-
pite the activity with which the police
have prosecuted them since May l, twenty
clubs still remain.

pressure of the air underneath it being
