dent Nunez On August z, he can, If
he desires, begin a six years term as
president, the offics TO which he was
recently reelected. Consul General
Calderon, talking of Colombia's great
statesman and others in the republic,
said: "Nunez has tasted power too
often. I think he will allow the inau-
guration of Vice President Caro- on Au-
gust II. and remain quietly at his sea-
coast home during the rest of his life"
Nunez is now sixty-six years old. He
was first elected president in 1879. That
was under the old constitution, when
the Office of president was for term
of two years. In 1882 the radicals came
into power, and for one year Nunez
and the conservatives were forced out
of the affairs of state In 1883 he was
reelected In 1885 he was again elect
ed, and in 1892 again. Under the con-
stitution president must have been
out of Office at least eighteen months
before being eligible for reelection. So
for over two years Vice President Hol-
quin has held the Office Of president and
Nunez was this time reelected by the
so-called nationals" which the bulk
of the conservatives and many of the old
Independents had joined. Veilez. al

Do you know that we are indebted to
the old Pompeians who lived in the first
century of Christian era for our knowl-
edge of how to can fruit? Perhaps not,
but it is fact, nevertheless. Years ago,
says the Philadelphia Press, when ex-
cavations were first being made on the
site of the old lava-covered city, party
from America found a jar of figs; not
only one but several Upon opening
one of them the contents were found to
be as fresh and perfect as when first
put into the jar nineteen centuries be-
fore! Investigations instituted on the
spot proved that the fruit had been put
into the jars in highly heated state,
and that an aperture for the escape of
steam had been left in the lid, which.
when it had served its purpose, was
sealed over with wax. Yankee ingenu-
ity caught the idea at once and the next
year canning factories were erected all
over the United States.

Consul Flint thought no South Ameri-

political freedom, in its justice to men
of all sentiments, and, though small, it
was seldom disturbed by revolutions as

it untrue with reference to at least one
South American state-Brazn. There
the overthrow of the empire and the
downfall of Fonseca showed patriot
ism above that which each year inspires
the Inauguration of new revolutions In
that part of the world.
"Our republic is too new" said the
retiring consul general, A. 7. de Mace
do, of Brazil, for distinct party lines.
As vet we are all republicans, who be-
lieve first and above all things in the
maintenance of the free government
we have established. By the end OF
Dr. Peixoto's term, which has yet three
years to run, I imagine we will have
strongly outlined parties. Now we
have, as you have here, the republicans
and democrats. But perhaps
the term federals would answer
better for republicans. With us, too,
these federals stand for more centrali-
cation of power, while the democrats
are for greater degree of state rights.

are, however, typical In their adherence
to individuals. The party of the people
was that which Palacio claimed to rep
resent. and that of congress is sup
posed to find typical leader in Crespo.
The political situation was summed up
to me as follows by the consul general:
''Dr. Palacio was the constitutional
president elected by the liberals. His
term ended February 20 last. Previous
to this the constitution had been
amended so that the president and vice
president were to be elected by popular
vote instead of by congress. Congress
met, and the demand of the people for
an immediate enforcement of the amend
ment was made. Palacio expressed
himself in perfect accord with this sem
timent, but Crespo, who was to have
been chosen as executive by congress,
secured slight majority and Palacio
was forced to dissolve that body Then
quickly upon Senator CreSpo's charge
that Palacio was a usurper came the
revolution. Four months of bitter war
found Crespo badly beaten. Still, to de-
stroy all pretext of continuance of the
revolution, Palacio laid down his office
and turned it over to the vice president,
ViQegas. The latter issued the call
for congress to meet and made num-
Der of very liberal proposals to Crespo,
all of which the latter not alone ig-
nored, but added insult to injury by re-
fusing even to meet the commission
Now Crespo's generals have deserted
him and are supporting Villegas in the
restoration of peace. Crespo is a fu-
gitive."
The day after this lucid explanation
noticed that Crespo was marching on
Caracas and would enter the capital
within a week. Palacio is in Paris.
where he is said to be living in fine
style on an income from SIS. 000. 900. Nor
have Crespo's generals deserted him.

and the "democrates.- The latter is

Still from all that the consul general
said judged that there are as many
parties in Peru as there are leaders of
prominence Congress. which meets
