Knowing the cosmopolitan na- ture of the people and something of the going5 on there, 1t may be safely stated that tho small number of arrests is not on account of the exceeding virtue on the part of the public.

THE VIEW OF BRAZIL.
Additional Information Regarding
 the Boundary Dispute.

Washington, May S.-The Brazilian le- gation tonight issued the following addi- ticnal information in regard to the boun-
 dary dispute:
 Tn the message addressed to Rod dridguez Alvez. president of Brazil. on
 the occasion of the opening of Congress
 May 1, the following is said in regard to
 the relations between Brazil and Bolivia and Peru:
 The difficulties which existed between
 Brazil and Bolivia were settled by the treaty of Metropolis. By that treaty Bra gil recovered nearly all the territories Of the Alto Yurau and Alb Purus, which had been ceded to Bolivia by the treaty of 1867, and containing for many years a numerous Brazilian population; and ac-
 uuired, moreover, a right to the terri tories which Bolivia claimed on the basis of the Ucayale to the north of eleven degrees southern latitude. The Peruvian
 government wished that her representa-
 tiN es participate in the negotiations and soon after proposed that the boundary question between the three countries be submitted to arbitration. The Brazilian government could not accede to these pro-
 posals on the consideration that 1t was more practical to discuss first with one og the ltigants and then come to an un- derstanding with the other. Since the treaty of Petropolis. Peru is in posi-
 tion to negotiate separately and settle
 with less difficulty her boundary ques- tions with Brazil and Bolivia.
 "'The rights Peru pretended to have were reserved. Brazil does not refuse to take cognizance of her pretentions, but will not enter into discussion before the military forces sent by the Peruvian | government to the Alo Yurau and Alb Purus are withdrawn. Brazil cannot tol- crate that during the dispute raised by Peru and whose grounds are unknown
 tt. her, the Brazilian population living l.peacefully in those regions be governed by the Peruvian authorities.

 There was not really fireproof building Tn the burned district of Toronto; there were one or two so-called sow-burnins structures, heavily timbered that the au- thorities say went just about as fast a : the other finder boxes.

IKE LOEB,
CHALLENGE TO BALL GAME.
Methodist Sunday School Challenges
 the Baptists.
JEWLLER.

the Bapt1sts.
 A game of base ball between the Sunday schools of the Court Street Methodist Church and the First Bap- tist Church is a probability of the near 2 future.
 The game only depends upon the willingness of the Baptist Sunday school to meet the Methodist on the diamond. The Court Street Sunday school yesterday decided to formally challenge the Sunday school of the First Baptist Church to a ball game. If this challenge is accepted as it is expected to be. picked teams chosen from members of the two Sunday schools will try conclusions with bat and ball.
 The challenge was the idea of Mir. W. w. Pearson, a teacher and former superintendent of the Court Street Sunday school. He suggested it to the school yesterday and 1t met with instant favor. The Methodist Sunday school pins it's faith to its young mems class which is said to contain some of the best amateur ball talent in the city. No arrangements for the game will be made until it is learned wheth- CT the Baptists will accept the chal- 1enge.

ha ,errItorx how In dispute.

the territory now in dispute.
 ''The Peruvian legation does not know uf any instance that can be cited in which Peru admitted any of Brazirs pretended rights.
 According to late reports, 1t would seem that the government of Brazil in- stead of framing its policy in accord ance with the provision of its constitu- ton. which provides for the settlement O. international disputes by arbitration. has assumed hostile attitude.
 The Brazilian legations statement that Peru took advantage of Brazil trouble with Bolivia to send military fcrces to the headwaters of the rivers Yurau and Purus is unwarranted. Peru today is desirous of resorting to arbitra- ton without demanding previous condi- tions unnecessary to government really washing to reach a prompt. just and pa cific settlement of their differences. This she, can offer as best proof of her good faith and fraternal sentiments towards her sister Republics"

CHICAGO Grain Nan Here.

Mr.. G. l.. Clevenberg of Chicago
representing Bartlee, Brazier q Car
rington, grain brokers and commits
sion merchants, was in the city
today. Mr.. Cievenberg left Chicago
several days ago on tour of inspec-
tiou of the grain belt. He will go
from here to South Texas and then
TO New Orleans, Atlanta and other
important grain markets of the
East. Mr.. Cievenberg said to re-
porter for this paper that the grain
crop this year was much greater
than last years crop. According TO
bis rvations the corn crop this
year will be the largest in the histo-
ry Of thecountry. The crop of Texas
last year was about lao, 900 900 bush
els, and Mr.. Clevenburg thinks the
crop this year will be in the neigh
borhood of $50, 600, 900 bushels. He
is very much gratified at the genera
conditions in Texas this year.
