Bolivia and Peru.

There is a suspicion among the Pow
ers that bolivia. for Interior motives.
is deliberately bent on forcing a war
with Peru. This opinion prevails to a
very considerable extent among South
American diplomats. While the os-
tensible purpose of Bolivia is to bring
about more satisfactory settlement
of boundary disputes, her real design
is believed to be one of territorial con-
quest. A dispatch from Lima, Peru, to
the Washington Post presents the
strong reasons back of such a purpose
as follows:
Bolivia has no seacoast. A success
full war with Peru might give her an
outlet to the sea by demanding as an
indemnity Moquegua province. the
sOuthermost in Peru, and adjoining
the Chilean frontier. In that province
is the harbor of lie, at the mouth of
the river of that name. The harbor
is said to be an excellent one, and it's
acquisition by Bolivia would be of
great advantage"
, In view of the existing situation
much interest is felt as to the probable
attitude of Chill in the event of such
a war. 1t has long been known that
Chill has had little love for Peru, since
the war she waged with her twenty
five years ago. Moreover her financiers
are said to be largely interested in
Bolivian railroads, and would naturally
throw the weight of their influence
in favor of that country. If, however,
Chill should be content with giving
Bolivia her moral support, and should
refrain from affording her armed as
sistance, the chances are that Peru
would be entirely capable of holding
her own, and successfully defending
her territory. The outcome of the
present situation is being watched with
much interest by all the powers.

Missouri Though told that Whittier
had headache, he forced his way
into the poets study, where he de-
clared that he adored all Writers
works, which he knew almost by
heart. He asked Whittier to write
his name several hundred times on
a large sheet of foolscap, so that he
could cut out and distribute the auto
graphs among his Missouri friends.
In fact, it was all the poet could do
to keep the enthusiastic Missourian
from clipping all the buttons from his
coat as souvenirs.

would end the anecdote pathetically-

The innovation of pronouncing

was carried out at fete arranged at

pertinent inspired this comment by the
Manchester Guardian:
For zone touch Of nature" Shake
sreare probably said "own tooch of

Irishman. he would say, "A haste that
wants discoorse of rayson." 1t would
be "Loov's Labber's Lost and the
"Midsoommer Neecht's Drame." Scraps
of "Hamlet" would sound thus:
"a haste that wants discourse of rayson
Would have moorned longer"

"A broken voice and his whole foonction

Cash Books Are Missing.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 16.-Charles L.
Warriner, former local treasurer of
the Big Four, was indicted by the
grand jury on charges of grand lar
ceny and embezzlement in the amount
of s50, 900 on each count.
While S643, 900 is known to have
been stolen, the startling fact vas dis.
covered that the company's cash
books prior to 1905 have disappeared
and that it will never be possible to
tell the full amount of the gigantic
d~efalcation. The comparatively small
amount on which Warmer was in.
dicted represents the latest known
thefts. 1t had been placed at that
figure 80 if conviction fails, the rail.
road authorities could proceed on any
of the other numerou thefts. This
means that the prosecution may be
maintained indefinitely.
