FOR EIGHT MONTHS.
ANSWERS.

| 1t 10 very simple matter. We have arranged
I with the Publishers of the Americanized Enoy-
clopsdla Britannica to take large quantity OF
this work of their hands, thus securing remark
aoiy low price as well as singularly easy terms.
| we propose to give the whole advantage of this
( transaction to our subscribers, and offer to de-
liver the entire set of the Americanized Encyclo-
psed1a Britannica on payment of 8 800 and YOUR
/ signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
| months, $50 IN all. This offer is made only In
connection with years substitution To thia
paper at regular subscription rates.
Just 80. But you see, in these days ofsteaun
and electricity, and labor-ssving machinery, a
great deal can be done for eight cents dsy es-
peclally when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
I into common stock.
You can be thankful that you didn't eccept
his offer. If you'd done SO and seen the Amer.
canlzed edition afterward you would have felt
like kicking yourself. Isuppose your canvass
ing friend told you that the Encyclopedias Bril-
tannica was simply the most complete work of
Its kind ever published?
So it is; he was right enough 30 far. It's a
monumental work and cost more than million
dollars to get up. But there are spots on the
sun, you know, and there are defects even in the
Encyclopedia Britannica. Did he mention to
you that you might look for Ulysses s. Grant
| IN it and not find a word about himp
-. OF course he was, or pretty nearly 50. But
the encyclopedias Britannica doesn't mention
him for all that. And it doesn't say word
about Sherman either, nor about Sheridan, nor
Hancock, nor Blaine, nor Cleveland, nor Hsrri.
son, nor Harriet Beecher Stowe, nor Julia Ward
Howe, nor Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, nor Charles
Stewart Parnel, nor Bismarck, nor JEFF Davis
nor
Oh, yes indeed. Il contains some ofthe most
magnificent biographies that ever were written.
-.Macaulsy's life of DR.. johnson, for example.
But you see what they called "the plan OF
the work" excluded all mention of living
characters. They wanted to see how a man
would turn out first before they made room for
| his life in their volumes.

He is Presented to the President and Pleas
ant Remarks Are Made.
Senior del Solar, the new Peruvian minister,
was presented to the President yesterday by
Acting Secretary Adee Of the Department Of
State. The new minister, in addition to the
formal phrases usual on these occasions, said:
"The American peoples being Joined by the in
dissoluble ties which nature bestowed at their
origin, it is the duty Of their governments to
seek their mutual advancement by means of
beneficial and liberal institutions. Your gov
erument has realized this and therefore this
nation is great and powerful My government
likewise understands it, and in order that Peru
may also prosper its aim is to assure peace and
diligently foster its political and commercial
relations with friendly nations. Ny patriotic
aspirations will be fulfilled if shall succeed in
meriting your esteem to the end of achieving
the important ends which have been intrusted
to me-"
The President, in reply, said:
Your words of praise for our civil institu-
tons and your expressions of the desire which
Peru entertains to maintain and promote the
friendly and commercial relations now happily
subsisting between our two peoples are gratify-
ing 10 me and will be to our people. The pro-
motion Of close and friendly relations between
our governments and peoples viii always be an
object near my heart, and to promote it all
means at my command will be diligently used. ="

VIII Probably Re Given Up.
The Paris dispatch stating that the Itata lie TO
be peaceably surrendered to the United States
by the insurgents upon her arrival in Chill
was shown to the officials OF the Navy
and State Departments today but one and all
they declined TO discuss the matter publicly.
Nevertheless 1t can be stated positively that
there have been no negotiations as reported
between the insurgent agents in France or else
where and this government respecting the
Itata.
SEE WILL BE suRRENDERED.
There is reason to believe that this govern
ment expects that the Itats will be pesceably
surrendered to the United States by the in
surgents when she reaches Chill but that when
she Is so surrendered the vessel will be found
TO have discharged her arms and munitions Of
war.
II is surmised that il the Itata did not place
her arms aboard the Esmeralda the latter
probably arranged a rendezvous for her and
one OF the insurgent ships now at lquique, so
as to admit of the transfer at some
specihed point at sea. Besides the arms
the ltata had aboard a large quantity of -four,
which Is very valuable now in Chill, but as this
Is not contraband of war there would probably

The object of libeling the ship in California

the insurgents must be judicially determined

ton of international law, the in

TWO POLICE FORCES.
Terre Hsute Ofhcials I'm q wrangle Over Q
Question of Authority

TKHRr HAUTE, IND, May 21.-There we're
exciting scenes at police headquarters last
night resulting from the decision Of Judge
McNutt busting the state board Of police from
control OF the force and removing their
appointees on the ground that the state police
bill was unconstitutional
City Attorney stimson and Superintendent of
Police Davis, having obtained a certified copy
Of the decree, proceeded to the police ONCE
and demanded possession, which Saperintend-
ent Meagher, the sppointee Of the state board,
refused. They proceeded TO take possession Of
the force anyway, calling upon the patrolmen
TO announce their adhesion 20 one side or the
other. In response 10 this all the democratic
patrolmen, with two republicans, ranged
themselves ON the side of the state board while
the other republican patrolmen went with ths
city board.
While the wrangle was in progress an sttor-
ney for the state board obtained a warrant
against City Attorney Stimson and superinten-
dent Davis for interfering with the police de-
psrtment and they were arrested and taken
before justice and held in bonds. While this
was going on Patrolman Goodpasture caused
the arrest of Superintendent Meagher for IS
sault and battery.
Terre Haute has two chiefs Of police and two
police forces. The state board claim an appeal
and they have fled bond to the superior court,
hence their refusal to give up.

that the announcement of all will
