THE ANGLO-SAXON.
Though Butcher, Rohber and Pirate,
He Governs the World.

Bishop Fowler.

Chicago. Jan. 16.-Bishop Charles IT..
Fowler OF Buffalo was the principal
speaker at the tenth annual banquet
and reunion OF the Society OF Sons OF
New York, held at the Palmer house
last night. Bishop Fowler said OF the
Anglo-Saxon race:
This race rules a goodly part OF the
world. Even though it has been tls

II moves and governs the world. Touch
one hair OF a Saxon and an account
must be rendered.
They are great missionaries. Give
the Anglo-Saxon conscience time to
move, time TO assert itself and its
problems will be solved. The Saxons
have never robbed a people without the
victims being gamers and there are no
such liberties as under the stars and
stripes and the union jack"

arrested to-day at her home in Green

that Tuttle drank wine offered by the

the deed. Tuttle had received several

THE NITRATE PROVINCES.
Alleged Violation of Pledge Regard
ing Their OCCUPATION.

The possibility of a serious breach be-
tween Chile and Peru as indicated in cable
dispatches, has disconnected the officials
here who had every reason to hope, in some
measure through our own efforts, that
permanent and satisfactory settlement had
been reached of the dispute between the
two countries over the ownership of the
provinces of Tacna and AFRICA.
A perplexing statement in the dispatches
is TO the effect that this latest threat of
trouble Is owing to the writing Of note on
this subject by the new Peruvian minister
to the United States, The officials here
have had no notification from the Peruvian
government or from any authorized source
OF the appointment Of a minister to the
United States. The post has been vacant
for more than year, and there is not even
a charge or an attache or any semblance of
a Peruvian legation in Washington. A
rumor reached here some time ago to the
effect that Mr.. Alexander Garland had been
appointed by the Peruvian government as
it's minister to Washington, but no official
confirmation Of the report was ever re-
ceived.
The present dispute between Chile and
Peru is a legacy OF the last war between
those two countries about fifteen years ago.
One Of the terms of peace was that the
victor, Chile, should occupy the two valu-
able Peruvian nitrate provinces of Tacna
ana AREA, ADJOINING the Cnllean boundary
on the north, for period of ten years. At
the end of that period of time the people
Of the provinces were to determine by their
vote whether their lands should remain in
the possession of Chile or revert to Peru
Wan sovereignty. In the first case, Chile
was to pay Peru $10,OO0.OOO silver soles.
while II 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 pro-
vision on this point was not executed; that
there was no plebscite, and that no money
passed.
Because the United States was deeply in
terested in bringing about the peace which
terminated the bitter war between Chile
and Peru, 1t is probably assumed by the
Peruvians that our government likewise
retains an interest in the faithful execution
of the terms of the treaty 1t must, how
ever. be admitted that UP to this time our
government has not manifested any par.
| ticular interest in the subject, and has not
even received any application, secret OF
| otherwise, from either of the parties tc
| intervene at this last phase though tho
recent reports seem TO indicate a purpose
on the part of the Peruvians at least II
enlist our SympathieS In their behalf

would have been very much complicated,
since that result would have tied the Y. NJ
c. A. and Carroll teams, which have the
same percentage for the leadership and
have both finished their games.
But the Eagles being disposed Of the stu
alton is still in the hands of the Columbus,
the last scheduled games of the season re-
naming to be played by them with the
Saengers on the alleys of the German Club
next Monday evening. A three-time win
ming by the home team would give them
the championship, passing both the clubs
now leading. However. should the Ger

still in doubt. since it will be necessary to
arrange a post-season series between that
club and the Carroll and Association tives

cisely the same number SO a good deal

games. and the alleys will doubtless be

and adding some forty points above his
average to his already large total. He was

The Eagles were little ragged in their
work, Laue and Armstrong alone main

The opening game was the closest of the
series and seemed to be Columbia's game
at almost every point up to the ninth
frame. Here the side went to pieces. every
man but one breaking. The Eagles passed
the home club at this stage and won out
by small margin. The score follows:
