the desert. AT the end of many of them
you will find little towns which form the
ports of the country, and in the interior
there are numerous villages and small cit
les. The capital of Peru, Lima pronounced
Lee-ma), is in the valley of the Rimac
river. Paita, where we first stopped on our
way south, is the port for the valley of the
Piura river, and here we are near the
mouth of the Jequetepeque (Heketepeke)
river. AT the different ports north of here
we took on thousands Of bags of rice, boxes
of tobacco and quantities of skins and
hides. AS 1 write this I can see droves of
as fat cattle as any which are ever shipped
to Chicago being driven out upon the pier
to be loaded for Lima and the ports fur
Their south, and when walking out this
morning 1 took photographs Of the fat
beeves as they were swung by a derrick
high up in the air and dropped into the
lighter, in viii h they were taken to the
steamer in the harbor.
This is not the best cotton-raising section
of Peru. but in every ride which l take
into the country l see the bushes and trees
lining the streams and %irrigating bitches
white with cotton bolls. This is the nat
uraI home of the cotton plant, and it is the
one place in the world where l have found
cotton growing on trees. Ihere are trees
of cotton in Peru fifteen and more feet
high, which produce two or three crops Of
cotton a year, from ten to twenty years.
There is a little hotel here which has a
cotton tree in its back yard. The cotton
from the tree is sufficient the landlord says.
to pay for all the eggs consumed in the
hotel. This native Peruvian cotton is not
white. like our cotton. 1t is OF different
shades Of brown. some being quite tawny
and some decidedly red in color. The white
cotton is also raised.

SECESSION sCHOoLHOUsE.
Place Where the Rebellion Held It's
First and Last Sessions.
Washington Star.

w GOl OldAs
While down in Abbeville, S. c., recent
ly," said Rev. Frank Parsons, II visited the
famous schoolhouse there. 1t was in this
schoolhouse that the first meeting was held
in favor of the secession of South Carolina,
the first State TO secede from the Union.
1t was also the place where the first resolu-
ton of secession was ever passed. In a
few weeks il was the scene of the organiza-
ton of the first military organization which
rendered it's services to the Confederate
government, which company, by the way,
was the first company ever accepted by that
government. The first man who lost his
life in the war, on the Confederate side.
belonged TO that company, and he was the
the accidental discharge of a musket, which.
IL is said, was the first musket that was
issued to the company, though of that /
am not as positively informed as / am
about the other facts under consideration.
1t was also one of the first schools to be
purposes.
All these are remarkable enough in their
way as interesting facts in connection with
the rebellion, but it can also be truthfully
stated that it was in this building that JEFF
ferson Davis and his Cabinet held the last
Cabinet session of the Confederate govern
ment. From this building they escaped,
and it was only a short distance from there
that the Confederate President and the
members of his Cabinet we're captured.
Rather remarkable, was il not. in view Of
the extent of the Southern States, that the
end. practically, should have been in the
Identical building where the actual begin
ming of the Confederate government oc-
Cured? Now, couple with the above the
other fact, even more remarkable, SEEM
ingly, that Abraham Lincoln died upon the
identical bed, and in the same room, that
his assassin, John Wilkes Booth, had slept
on for a long time in this city, and there
is a wonderful combination of the often-ex-
pressed idea that this is a small world

FIGHT OFF HAYTI.
Spanish and American Vessels Meet Acct
dentally---Thc Latter Retire After
a Small Exchange of Shots

Cape Haytien, Hayti. June 6.-The
United States troopship Resolute, for
merly the Yorktown, under convoy of
the torpedo boat destroyer May flower,
the converted Ogden Goelet yacht of
the same name, arrived at Mole ST.
Nicholas Saturday and departed short
ly after with adVices saying that some
distance off Jean Rabel, seaport on
the uorth coast of Hayti between Port
de Paix and Mole st. Nicholas COM
bat took place between three Spanish
and four American warships.
The American ships are said to have
withdrawn from the combat.
One of the Spanish warships entered
the harbor of Jean Rabel for water.
The officers of the ships lying at Mole
st. Nicholas were extremely reticent.
Jean Rabel is an insignificant sea-
port and there is no telegram station
there, 1t is thought possible that the
Spanish ships encountered were the
vanguard of the Cadiz fleet.
The names of the American ships
are not ascertained; but it is believed
here that they were probably scouts.

Trans-MississippiE Exposition mt Oma-
ha Is Dedicated with EIabor-
ate Ceremonies.

Omaha, Neb., June 2.-Amid the
music of hundred bands, the cheers
OF hundred thousand people, the
blasts OF many whistles and the waving
OF lnnumerable flags, the Trans-Missis-
slppi and international exposition was
dedicated Wednesday morning. At 9:30
the great civic parade started on it's
march from the center of the city to the
grounds. The National Marine band

dred musical organizations from the
various states of the middle west con-
tributed to the occasion. The parade
was three miles long, consisting Of the
officers and guests of the exposition in
carriages, the semi-military organiza-
tions and all the secret societies of this
and adjacent states.
In the afternoon at four O'Clock. the
National Marine band gave a concert
which was attended by many thousands
of people. National airs were popular
and everything rendered along this line
was encored enthusiastically.
1t is estimated that over 100000 peo-
pie passed through the gates during the
day. The initial days ceremonies were
concluded at dusk with a grand pyro-
technical display conducted on an elab-
crate scale. All state buildings had
opened registers for the purpose of
keeping track of the visitors from their
states who visited the grounds.
