the architecturally magnificent Capi- tol in Lima. The Senate of Peru con- sists of fifty-one members and the
 House of Representatives of 116 mem
 bers-one for each of the nineteen de- partments and three provinces or for
 every 5000 inhabitants or traction ex-
 ceeding 15,000. Congress meets an-
 nually on Independence Day, July 2S,
 and sits for ninety days. Special ses- sions may be summoned whenever oc-
 casion demands, but are limited to forty five days. It is required that of age, have an annual income of at least 1000 soles ($500), or belong to a
 scientific profession. Deputies in the
 House must have resided in Peru at least two years,' be g years of age, and, professional men excepted, have a yearly income of 500 soles.
 The session of Congress which open ed yesterday is of special interest, as l this is Presidential year in Peru, and a new chief executive will be inau- gurated this fall. The Peruvian Pres ident and two Vice Presidents are elected by direct vote for a term Of four years, and are not eligible for ed since the expiration of their first I'term. Suffrage in Peru is restricted to citizens oyer 21 years of age.
 Independence Day in Peru has been celebrated ever since July 2S, 1921, when San Martin proclaimed the free
 dom of the country from the Spanish yoke and announced the establishment of the republic. Peru had been the most important of the Spanish vice royalties in South America, and the
 Spaniards fought valiantly to hold the
 rich land. The war continued until
 1924, when the last of the Dons were
 driven from the country. Under the f1lfin WY
 1858, absolute political freedom exists, but religious freedom is tolerated rather than provided for by statute.
 Roman Catholicism is the religion of
 the State, but Jewish synagogues and
 Anglican and other Protestant
 churches are permitted to exist i'll Lima anud Callac.
 The republic of Peru, the anniver-
 sary of which is celebrated, marks
 the third stage of Peruvian history.
 The earliest period was of unknown duration, but it is known that Peru
 was the seat of a nation or nations which had a flourishing and enlight- ened civilization. The religion and language of the people of this era were different, and perhaps superior, to those of the Incas, who succeeded them and overran their territories When Pizarro, the Spanish adventur- CT, invaded Peru in 1531, the empire WdS cnSdSCU HI wal, ScIUoO0 DJ eAAS rival claims of the emperor or inca and his half-brother. Pizarro and his successors overthrow the empire of the Incas and established the rule of Spain over the vast and rich terri tory.
 Of late years the republic has made great material and intellectual pro- gross. About 2,OOO miles of railroad are now in operation and over 5000 miles projected or under construction. The completion of all these lines, mostly being built by foreign capital, will open to development one of the richest countries of the world.
