their families at home suffered for the
necessities of life. The women and chill.

now says that the presidential success
sion is not worth another civil war. The
old scrap book referred to containing
samples of all issues of confederate
money, has a companion in the last
check book used by the quartermaster
general of the confederacy. This book
was opened January 26, 1865, and dur

out, for transportation of troops. The
stubs of the check book show every

The largest check drawn was for $780,.

Railroad company; but a marginal note
shows that the company accepted S16,-

GEN. WHEELER TO
WE'D MRS. .CHILDS

New York, April ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Persist
ent rumors again couple the names of
General Joseph Wheeler and Mrs. George
w. Childs and this time there seems to be
good reason to believe an announcement
Of their engagement to marry will be
made.
When Mrs. Childs was asked for a con-
firmation or denial of the rumor she sml-
ed and referred the questioner to General
Wheeler. The gallant veteran also smiled
when asked about it.
1T would be anything but gallant for
me to talk upon that subject without first
having asked permission of Mrs. Chids
to do so,'' he said. "At the same time I
will admit that this rumor has been so
persistent that it would be well to set it
at rest one way or the other for all time.
I'll tell you what will do. I will see Mrs.
Childs and ask her to answer your ques-
tions or authorize me to do so.'
He then swung off in the direction of
the home of Mrs. Childs in X street.
When seen later he smiled broadly.
Eyes, I saw Mrs. Childs,' he said, land
swer. Mrs. Childs said she would send
you note setting at rest all of these ru-
mOrs."
General Wheeler was assured that any
further reticence would be taken as a
congestion that the engagement would
soon be announced.
''You will have to draw your own con-
clusiOns," was the reply, Though I be-
liewe that Mrs. Childs will at once give
your questions an answer"
No statement could be obtained from
Mrs. Childs today General Wheeler, ad-
aitted. however, that at luncheon in
Philadelphia, attended by Mrs Childs and
himself they were congratulated by their
friends upon their rumored engagement.
These congratulations were accepted
without denial, though General Wheel
er now says they were unfortunate and
untimely.

power of the manufacturers to make or
mar this census.
Resolutions bearing upon variety of
subjects have also been adopted, among
them the following:
Resolved, That the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers of the United
United States heartily congratulate the
present administration and particularly
John Hay, on the successful terminatio
of the brilliant and effective diplomatic
effort to establish the principle of the
open door system of trade in China.
Resolved. That we further believe that
the advantages thus secured can best be
maintained if our government will accord
to merchants coming to the United States
the right assured to them under the
treaty of entrance into this country
without needless hindrance or delay
Resolved, That the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers earnestly petition
the present congress to endeavor to have
prepared and ratified reciprocal treaty
between Canada and the United States.

duties, will give to the American manu.

tend their trade in the Dominion of Cam

favorable as those accorded to any other
nation"
The latter resolution was adopted in
spite of Michigan delegates protest,
Resolutions favoring the laying OF
competing cables between the United
States and Cuba, Porto Rico and the

CR0NJE REPORTED
KILLED At WGPENER

tries, about fifteen years ago. One Of the
Chile, should occupy the two valuable
Peruvian nitrate provinces of Tacna and
africa, adjoining the Chilean boundary on
the north, for period of ten years. At
the end of that period the people Of the
provinces We're to determine by their
vote whether their lands should remain
in the possession of Chile or revert to
Peruvian sovereignty. In the first case
Chile was to pay Peru 100000 silver
soles while if the province was returned
to Peru the government Of that country
was to pay to Chile a corresponding sum
of money.
The allegation is now that the treaty
provesion on this point was not eXacted;
that there was no plebescite and that no
money passed.
Because the United States was deeply
interested in bringing about the peace
with which terminated the bitter war
between Chile and Peru, it is probably
assumed by the Peruvians that our gov
ernment likewise retains an interest in
the faithful execution of the terms of the
treaty. 1t must, however be admitted
that up to this time our government has
not manifested and particular interest
in the subject and has not even received
any application, secret or otherwise,
from either of the parties to intervene
at this last phase, though the reports
from South America seem to indicate
purpose, on the part of the Peruvians
at least, to enlist our sympathies in their
behalf.
