MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT RACE

Fastest Modern Vessels to Revive DAN
gerous Pastime For Once.
River steamboat racing the pastime
of the early seventies, when Mark
Twain was young and working for a
living. promises to be revived by the
challenge Of Commodore Henry w.
Leyhe Of the steamer Alton to Captain
W. II. Thorwegen. master of the
steamer City Of Providence, to race for
any amount from $1,000 to $4,000
says st. Louis dispatch. Captain
Thorwegen has accepted the challenge,
and as soon as the wagers are placed
the race will be run.
This will be the first real river race
since the days when river traffic was
at its height and rival masters sat a
"nigger on the safety valve" Of the
boiler to insure more speed.
The steamers Alton and City of
Providence are the two biggest and
fastest boats on the Mississippi. The
probability Of an old fashioned river
race between them has set the whole
river front Wild with excitement equal
10 that IL the early days wien much
Of the real estate in ST. Louis changed
hands as result Of wagers on river
races.
Probably the most famous Of these
was the race on July 4, 1875, between
the Robert e. Lee and the Natchez
The course was from New Orleans to
st. Louis, ana the Lee was victorious
arriving there five hours ahead Of the
Natchez.

BOLIVIA AND PERU CLASH.

Details Of the Boundary Dispute Be-
tween the Two Countries.
The territory involved in the dispute
between Bolivia and Peru over the
frontier limits of both countries COM
prises hundreds and hundreds of
square miles of very rich land, oil ~
ing at the eastern base of the Cordil
leras. THAT, along with other rich
territory lying near the Acre river,
would have been Brazilian today said
Senior ]. Aguierre-Acha, the consul
general Of Bolivia in New York city,
in explaining the causes Of the riots
in La Paz the Bolivian capital, "had
not Bolivia fought for it in the war
between those two countries within
the last generation. AS result OF
that contest Brazil paid Bolivia $10,-
100000. That money, large sums of
which still are on deposit in New York
and London. has been chiefly expended
In building railroads intended to de.
velop Bolivian commerce and increase
the trade relations between my coun-
try and Brazil through forming rail
connections with the traffic that plies
the rivers of both states. Already the
railroad has been completed from
Oruro to Niacha. and line now is
under construction from Oruro to
Uyuni, which lies to che southwark

throughout the disputed territory. Thus
Bolivia has spent its money there as
well as the blood Of it's people. Two
thousand of its soldiers were killed
there in one campaign against Brazil.
In that conflict not one Peruvian citi-
zen raised hand to protect the terri
tory in question Not one Peruvian
soldier ever fought TO gain that strip
Of land But when the hostilities had
concluded Peru stepped in with its
claim that the territory rightly be-
longed to it,
Peru assumed to base it's claim on
the contention that the land belonged
to it by reason OF certain dispositions
made by Spanish kings. but that con-
tention practically was mere asser-
ton. On the other hand before the
South American republics We're formed
and when Spanish control dominated.
the land in question formed part of
the territory which. with Bollvia's area
today. was under the jurisdiction OF
the central Spanish authority that ex
listed at Charcas, the latter now form
ing the present city Of Sucre. Peru's
territory was administered by Spanish
authority from Lima, GArgentina's area
from Buenos Aires. Chile by the cap
tain general then established at San
tiago. and so on. So when similar
argument was required to meet the
Peruvian contention Of priority of
rights Bolivia had direct proof to ad-
vance in support Of it's claim that the
territory in question always had been
part of its area, even under the Span
ish kings.
