E. E. PrOwle Returns After Trip Around "The Horn. " Glad to Be Back in Good Old United States of America

America
 Filled with pride at being a citizen of the United States and more par ticularIy of Phoenix. E. E. Prowle of South First Avenue returned last night from a trip that took him en- tirely around the continent of South America including tour of the Panama Canal zone. Not only for the scenic beauties of the trip was it notable but the fact that one Of the active participants of q South American revolution was compelled to l seek safety on the ship added a lit tie to the excitement. MT. ProWle started his trip from New York on June II last on the Holt and Lamper liner Vestris. The first port of call was at Barbadoes after a days sail ing through the world famed beautiful Winward and Leeward Islands. Among the passengers were 16 stud ents from the various South Ameri- can Republics who were on their way home from the various colleges in the east. One of the party of which MT. PrOwle was a member bore letter of introduction from President Will son and this acted as an "Open se- same" to all the places of interest on the trip
 Talking of the trip last night with in a few minutes of his return to Phoenix, MT ProWle said The trip was all that one could desire and although we visited many places of historical and scenic interest it is good to be home once more. The Nestris is a steady boat and none of the passengers were sick until we got into chops of nasty storm just after we left Barbadoes Our next port of call was Trinidad and as we did not stop very long we were un- able to see as much of the town as we wished. Bahia was the place where we left the United States hustle behind and we were well in itiated in the habits of South Ameri ca before we had been there very long. Our letter of introduction en abled us to meet everyone of note and the courtesy and hospitality was but foretaste of what we could eX- pect farther on our journey"
 We arrived in Rio Janeiro on sche duIe time just about eight o'clock in the evening and it is a sight that will never be forgotten to see the lights of the city shining long before you reach the dock. Rio Janeiro is like a jewel set in a background of green and brown mountains and the turquoise sea completes the picture We stayed at Rio Janeiro for several days and the letter again worked won ders as it allowed us to enter the in field of the Rio Janeiro race track and the courtesy of the officials of the club was overwhelming. The coffee that one gets at Rio JaneirO is delicious and my Brazilian friends begged me to accept a large quantity of it and they went to the trouble of roasting it especially for me. The coffee as used in Brazil is roasted more thoroughly than here as the Brazilians prefer their coffe very black
 After leaving the Falklands our good ship entered the most dreaded sea passage in the world, but nature was very kind to us and we met nothing but good weather. It was about seven o'clock in the morning when we entered the Straits of Ma gellan and the sun was just peeping over the stern forbidding mountains
 
 down the harshness of the seasoast and tinted it with colors that would be the delight and despair of any artist
 While we were at CallOa, Peru, we were the guests of one of the largest clubs in the city and while talking to Peruvian gentleman one evening I was astonished when he in formed me that the presidet of the country was slated to be killed but we heard afterwards that the presi- dent resigned and the political mur- der became unnecessary. seaquake occurred while we were there and it destroyed all the calbes between Peru and Chile"
 When we arrived at Payta we were very much surprised to find that one of our new passengers was President Augusta Leguia of Peru, the man whom I had been told was to be murdered and when I asked him how he managed to escape death he told me that he had resigned and was then on his way to Europe where he expected to remain as he was quite content to leave the reins Of government in other hands.
 "One of the most important things that I saw during the whole trip was the big market for American made goods and there is not safe in the whole continent of South America that has a combination or time lock on it, everyone uses keys to open the safes in use Chile owing to her financial condition has been obliged to double the export duties on nj trates and when the new duties are enforced there is likely to be revo- lution."
 Passing Vera Cruz we saw several steamers loading refugees and we were told at New Orleans that II boatloads had already arrived during the last month
