TROUBLE IN PERU.
Exciting Incidents Attend the Open
ing of Congress.

New York, July pa special TO the
Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
Several exciting incidents have marked
the attempts to open the Peruvian con-
gress. As yet there has been no quorum
and just now it seems that the differences
which have arisen may indefinitely post
pone the discussion. The deputies who are
government supporters, in order to avoid
defeat by the opposition in the selection
OF a president of the chamber, retired
before the session was called to orcer.
This action caused Deputy Durand to
condemn in severe terms what he called
the palace intrigues.'' Great applause
followed his vigorous attack on the gov
eminent.
Deputy Durand. with several friends,
started to leave the chamber few min
ufes later. When they appeared in the
street they were attacked by crowd OF
Democrats who had gathered. Stones and
sticks were hurled at them and for time
serious riots seemed imminent.
Finally, Deputy Durand and his party
reached the Hotel France, where they
sought refuge. The crowd then surround
ed the hotel and tried to force a way in.
This was prevented by the proprietor,
who stood in the doorway with the
French flag and demanded protection for
himself and property in the name of
France. The police then dispersed the
crowd.

in that section do not begin to tell the
truth. He refused to say how much
money he had brought back, but said
it was not uncommon TO find "a fortune
within few weeks Il only left at
this time because a new conner told me
of my fathers death.
Il ran away from home and have
not seen my people in 20 years.
Knowing that had a, rich find and
wishing to snare it with my people,
came. back TO get my brother to go
with me. We. will find our claims in
good hands, with gold ready to be
picked up"
Gauldfer's story seems to be verified
by papers found in his pocket, includ-
ing receipts for lumber on the
banks of the Yukon, receipt for a
berth on tine Portland and the hat
mark of a tradesman in Seattle. If
his skull is not fractured he may be
able TO leave this city in a day or two.

Andree's Balloon Voyage.

Stockholm, July 29.-Dr. Ekholm,
who was associated with Herr Andree
in his projected balloon voyage last
year, writes to the Aftonbladt that he
declined to join IN the present attempt
because the impermeadibility of the
balloon was unsatisfactory. He says
it lost 81 cubic metres of gas daily from
the time of initiation. In his opinion
it would not float longer than from D
to "A days. Inasmuch as the voyage
under ordinary conditions of wind
would take at least "a days, Dr.. Elk
holm believes Andree viii be remark
ably fortunate if he succeeds at all.

FOREIGNER PAYS THE TAX.

Consumer

Victoria, 3. c., July 29.3There is a
crowd of indignant goldseekers in
town. Two hundred of them came
from Seattle with their outfits to take
the steamer Islander for Dyea. Arriy-
ing here they found that not a pound
of goods would be allowed to enter the
Klondyke district without paying the
regular Canadian duty. Some of them
decided upon paying the duty here,
but others are going north with the
expecta ton of evading the customs Of
ficers. This is hardly possible as the
customs officers are going up on the
Islander, accompanied by a force of
constables, who will assist the mounted
police now there to enforce the laws.

The scenes around Turtle Creek after
midnight were strange. Poorly clad
miners stretched themselves out in the
softest spots they could find. Each
detachment was in charge of men Sc
lected before the march was begun.
Orders were implicitly followed.
In the valley leading up from Turtle
Greek to one of the New York and
Cleveland mines the company had a
powerful searchlight. 1t was kept
shifting about in hopes of thanking any
movement of the strikers to creep
within reach of the mine unknown u
the deputies, who guarded every APP
proach.
BEFORE DAYLIGHT.
Long before daylight the strikers
were up, and after eating their frugal
meal, prepared for the days work. The
intention was to see as many of De
Armitt's men before they got into the
pits this morning as possible.
About o'clock 100 strikers assembled
at Turtle Creek and, headed by three
brass bands, with flags and banners
flying, marched past the houses occu-
pied by De Armitt's miners. The strik-
ers hooted and yelled and then marched
TO the mines, where they planted
themselves before the pits, thus COM
polling De Armitts men TO run the
gauntlet to get to work.
A short time later Sheriff Lowry, who
had been wired for assistance, arrived
from Pittsburg with 90 deputies armed
with Winchesters. The strikers quietly
withdrew and the new deputies were
placed on guard. Everything is quiet
now.
When the mass meeting was called
to order at 10 o'clock this morning
there were 5000 striking miners in at
tendance, and before it was we'll I'M

The best and most satisfactory
floor for hen house is dry, clean
dirt upon an earth floor. The earth
in the house should be filled from
six inches to one foot about the
ground surrounding the house out
side; this will prevent it from be-
coming damp and disagreeable to
the occupants. Under the roOsts
should be thrown shovelful or
more of loose, dry dirt every morn
ing, and the droppings removed at
least once week and the floor
swept or scraped. A scratching
place should be divided off by set
ting up boards foot high, making
pen in which should be kept loose
straw or chaff to the depth of four to
six inches and all loose grain fed
fowls thrown in this pen. This Will
keep the hens busy, and the busy
hen lays eggs. This should not be
allowed to become foul, but should
be renewed occasionally. A liberal
supply of air-slacked lime scattered
over the floor will do much toward
keeping the house in good whole

Citizens. 1 have always looked
with favor upon the Citizens move
ment, but, on account of the Bell
connections at distant points
throughout the county and State,
where my business required such
come ctions, / felt compelled to use
it. But since the Bell is making the
fight to drive the Citizens from the
field, L am willing to sacrifice nv
convenience, and my interest even,
in order to give the Citizens my
undivided support and encourage
ment. I did not think until recent
ly that the use of one Bell telephone
under my circumstances, would be
of any specialadvantage to the Bell
Company, or of any disadvantage to
the Citizens; but | am now satisfied
that any one using the Bell phone
gives very material aid to that COM
pany in its efforts to crush out the
Citizens Company, which would be
a great calamity to this town and
county; because the only hope of
reasonable telephone rates is in the
successful establishment of the
nome company.

No one questions the value of a
flock of poultry on farm when well
kept. All the estimates as to profits
are too low. There are eggs and
chickens that go onto the farmers
table that never get into the account
book. My experience has proved
that with good market near by, a
small flock, we'll cared for and skill
fully managed, prolific in producing
eggs and good for rearing chicks,
may, without difficulty, pay in clear
profit the interest on $50 "a year for
each hen. This is only three dol,
lars, and l have made with the best
care and management fully six dol
lars year from a small flock of
Light Brahmas from eggs and chick
ems alone. No fancy prices were re-
ceived for the eggs. They were simp-
ly sold for domestic use, and were
fresh and guaranteed to be not more
than three days from the hens. The
broiling chicks, too, were fed well
and reached a good size early, so
that thew were tender and sweet to
eat, and brought a high price

How to Rid Your Buildings of Rats, Mice,

A correspondent to the Country
Gentleman says:
"Rats, mice, squirrels, &C., may be
extermlnated absolutely in a few
hours. The writer learned the fol-
lowing many years ago; has had his
employees use it constantly, in all
manner of places, under all condi-
tiOns, at all seasons of the year, and
with never-failing success:
mix with uncOOked oatmeal
(faked is best) just as much plaster
of Paris as will adhere; be sure each
is perfectly dry. Put this mixture
in old saucers all over the house,
barns, buildings and farms, merely
being careful to have them out of
reach of domestic animals and poul-
try. Within a few hours every rat,
&C., will have a stomach full of ce-
ment and Inflammation, and will
leave the premises for water and
die. No mischievous rodents can
live on the place 48 hours, so long as
the saucers are kept filled, and gen
orally once in the fall and again in
spring is often enough"
