Special Dispatch to The Star
LIMA. Peru December IL (NANAD.
As constitutional President of Peru,
I am pleased with the opportunity OF
getting a hearing before the American
public
hasten to add that II, for the sake
of my country, I feel pleased on re-
turning to public life once more stter
the years that cruel despotism has held
sway. it gives me double satisfaction
to head the government of the republic
after having been chosen in the most
democratic and enthusiastically at
tended elections that have ever been
held in the history Of the country.
Peru is passing today through most
trying and dificult time, and only the
most unSelfsh attitude Of its good
citizens and the spirit Of frank cooper
alton of its good friends can make 1t
possible for me to carry through the
enormous task OF national reconstruc-
ton.
The bequest that the era Of dictator
ship and deSpOtism left TO Peruvians
is a very unfortunate one, indeed. The
faith in national desttnieS has been
mortgaged by treaties that have limited
the territorial extension of the republic,
the Golfers Of the nation have been
ranSacked and the country has now to
shoulder the tremendous weight OF an
uni Just debt contracted under the Sc
verest Of conditions.

lied and left in a chaotic condition.

Disappointment over the sharply
reduced dividend rate on the stock
caused this sharp reaction. with
echoes in other shares.
The preliminary calculation
showed the Dow-Jones industrial
averages at the lowest level since
June 10. The industrial average
was at 136.21, off $50 points; rail-
road. 1907, off 2.48, and utility

Action of United States Steel di-
rectors in looping off SO from the

came after the close here yester-
day. Traders had anticipated a cut
to IS, but they we're caught off
guard by the SO reduction which ac-
companied a report for the second
quarter showing earnings of only
u cents q share. Prospects for the
second half of the year were poor
and it was believed earnings for the
year 1881 would be the lowest in the
history of the corporation.
Toward the close some support
