proposition to appoint u delegation and the
debate was lively all the way through.
Many legislators who have heretofore been
on the fence unbuckled themselves one way

Baugh, leaders OF the Downing party

Sacked by n HeruYian MAli.

Washington special: 1t was Chill during
the last administration and 1t may be #.
neighbor. Peru. during this. II appears
that the United States Consulate at one OF
the Peruvian ports has been sacked by y
mob with apparent police sanction. An OF.
ficer acting as a consular agent for the
United states was fred upon and wounded
in the foot. The news comes In brief
telegram through the United States Min
lister to Peru. He omitted such essential
details as the name of the place and the
name OF the wounded officer, or they were
dropped from his dispatch in telegrap phit
transmission.
There Is but one consulate in Peru, at
Callao In the position Aquiiln J. Daugh.
eriy, OF Illinois, appointed during Harri,
sons administration, stands on record a.
consul. There are under him seven con.
sular agencies, the occupants OF which
positions are doubtless mostly merchants
OF the country. Whether the outrage
complained of occurred at one OF these
smaller places or at Callao no one at the
department can determine from the tele.
gram; but inasmuch as IL comes from Lima
the impression prevails that the scene OF
the outrage was at one OF the interior
points. This impression Is further strength
ened by the knowledge OF the department
that In many cases where natives assault u
sub-consulate the trouble is due not tc
any antagonism to the country represent
ed, but to prejudice and i'll feeling against
the representatives personally.
This Is not an uncommon occurrence
where the acts OF mercantile consular
agent are resented by n people who would
respect the acts ofea citizen of the United
states duly appointed TO full consular
position. 1t Is believed the matter will be
satisfactorily explained Ia n short time.

Mr.. Eimermann received letter from n
Houston, Texas, law firm, containing the
information that f. A. Walter, "a former
resident OF Houston, had on his death left
him All estate which is valued at SIT .000
The information was II big surprise. Mr.
Eimermann could not recall any acquaint-

a loss to account for his good fortune. At
last, In overhaultng his memory. he recol-
iected Il middle aged man Of that name
whom he had known In Chicago in 1870.
That year Eimermann was working In Chi.
cago at his trade OF a barber. At the house
whore he rOomed was man named Wal

worst sort OF luck. He roomed next To
Eimermann and the two became quite
friendly. Very often Eimermnnn gave his
friend the amount OF a square meal when
Walter had been living on Chicago water
only for day or two. After u few months
Of this sort OF thing Walter said he had a
chance to get good job In st. Louis IL he
could reach there and wanted to borrow
$40 for the purpose. Eimermann happened
to have the money and gave it to Walter.
He never heard OF his impecunious friend
from that day until he received the notice
that he was his heir. 1t is now learned
that Walter drifted on to Houston, where
he managed to get a truck farm and ac-
cumulated quite fortune, much OF which
was lost by mining speculation. The viii

had always kept his former friend in mind.
Mr.. Eimermann will 60 to Houston soon and
take possession OF his property.
