.The Origin and Growth of the English
constitution" But one volume of this
work has been published as yet, but 1t has
ALREADY been adopted as a text book in
seven universities. 1t is Mr.. Taylor's desire
to conclude this history during his STAY in

praoticed his profession, but when the war
broke out he was one of the first men in
the state to abandon his civil pursuits and
enlist In the First Minnesota regiment.
His sevrice during the war was severe,
eliminating at Gettysburg, where his
regiment made the famous charge that
checked Picketts onslaught or the 800
mem who made that charge only forty

started on the rush as q first lieutenant of
Company L, came out in command of the
regiment, every officer above his grade

very popular and was twice the Demo-
cratic caucus nominee for seat in the
United States senate. In 1889 he was an
pointed by Republican governor to a
1udgeship on the circuit bench, and at the
expiration of his appointment was twice
reelected to the same place without Cd.

PREPARATION DEMANDED.
A United States Consulate Sacked
by a Peruvian Mob.
PREMIER GRESHAM ACTS PROMPTLY

Minister Hicks Instructed to Ask nm Ex-
preston of Regret for the Inaction of
the Police and Prompt Prosecution of
the Guilty Parties.
WASHINGTON, April 7-Minister John
Hicks cabled the state department from
Lima, Peru, as follows, under date of April
,,
AT (place omitted) mob attacked Ma
sonic lodge, sacked the building and then
burned the fixtures in the street. Incl
deltally the United States consulate was
Invaded, tho furnishings destroyed and
the acting consular agent shot in the foot.
The archives were saved intact. A squad
Of Peruvian police looked on while the
mob performed their work, without inter-
ference. The mail brings the particulars"
The particulars in question, which are
left to be supplied by mail, apparently in
clude the information as to where the out
rage occurred, which unacconntably is
missing in the telegram. There is but one
consulate In Peru, that at Calloa In this
position Mr.. Aquilla j. Daugherty, of
Illinois, appointed during Mr.. Harrison's
administration, June 2, 1890, stlelds on the
record as consul. There are under him
six consular agencies, the occupants of
which positions are doubtless merchants
n the country, who are paid by fees, and
4hose fees seem to be very small, inasmuch
as only two mske any returns at all to the
department of fees collected, and those re-
furns are under s25 year. Probably many
OF them are native Peruvians though the
names of some Of them indicate the con-
uary.
! Whether the outrage complained of
secured at one of these smaller places or
at Cailao no one at the department can
determine from the telegram, but mas
much as 1t comes from Lima the impress
sion prevails that the scene of the outrage
was one Of the interior points.
After consultation with President Cleve-
kand, Secretary Gresham sent the follow
ing telegram to the minister:
Protest against the failure of the au-
horities to afford protection to the con-
edlate, and II the facts are well established
ask an expression of regret, prompt prose-
rution of the guilty parties and repara-
aon for injury to American property or
persons"
1t Is believed at the department that
satisfactory explanation of the affair will
shortly be made.
