The People of Eastern Pern.
Eastern Peru, though changing its po
litical title at various periods, has been
called the Montana, or wooded country,
since the first colony wis planted there
886 years ago. The experiences of the
early settlers were an endless succession
of romantio adventures. Towns were
built and destroyed many times, and
there is scarcely a single site which has
not been bathed with the blood of white
and Indian through centuries of conflict,
Spanish and Peruvian possession of this
territory has consequently been more
nominal than real until within the Inst
twenty years, duiing which time several
of tho old mission stations have flourish
ed forth into ciiics of from 2,0001'6.000
inhabitants under the commercial stirnu
lui given by the opening of the Amazon
to the flags of all nations in 1866.
Accordingly the majority of iho pure
whites now living in the Montana are
either Peruvians originally from the wist
coast, or O rmans, French and English,
with two or three Americans, who have
been allured into this remote corner of
the globe by the prospect of speedily
amassing a fortune in tbe rubber trade.
These new comers are o’ten noble exam
ph-s of manhood, full of that courage and
determination which are neeifu in estab
lishing government and commercial pros
perity in the midst of a somnolent and
sometimes treacherous nat Ve population.
Women of apparently equal rank are,
however, conspicuously absent. —Courte-

Wednesday. —Mr. Hatch, the chair
man of the committee on agriculture, re
ported back the agricultural appropria
tion bill with the senate amendments
thereto, and asked (hat the senate
amendments be non-concurred in and a
conference ordered. Mr Holman thought
some statement should be made a< to tin
effect of the senate ainendents. Mr.
Hatch replied that they all increased the
appropriation. Mr. Hatch’s request wa
agreed to and Mr. Hatch. Mr. i'#m netti
and Mr.Funstnn were appointed conferees.
Mr Outhwaite then cal ed up the con
ference reports on the army appropria
tion bill a d moved that the hou«e insis
on it. disagreement to the senate amend
ments striking out the proviso prohibit
ing the use of any money appropriated
for the payment of the transportation
of troops aud army supplies over any
non-bondel lines owned, contro le 1 or
operated by the Uni n Pacific or South
ern Pacific. Th ■ motion was agreed to
—yeas 167; nays, 26. A further confer
ence was order'd, and Me-sra. Outhwaire,
Mitchell, and Belknap were appointed a
conferees.
Thursdat —In the hmis", Thursday,
Mr. F r ey, from tho committee on ap
propriations. reputed back he legisl >
tive appropriation bill with the senate
amendments, and moved tho scuati
amendm-nts l*e non-c■ incurred in and a
conference ordered. The motion war
agreed to, and Messrs. Forney, Dockery,
and Henderson, of lowa, appointed con
ferees. The house pissed a joint resold
tion making a temporary provision foi
the support of tho overnment.
Fridav. —ln tho house, Friday, Mr.
Catchingß asked for immediate considi ra
tion of the resolution substituting July
7th for July 4th as suspension day, Mr
Burrows objected, and ihe resolutioi
was referred to the committee on ru ! es
On motion of Mr. Catchines it was
ordered. When the In u-o a< j aimed foi
the day it was to be till Tuesday. Mi.
Dockery submitted a disagreeing con
ference report on District of Columbia ap
propriation bids and it was agreed to.
Mr. Bynum moved that ihe conferees be in
structed to propose and agree to tin
amendment of an appropriation of $75,-
000, to be paid wholly from the revenms
of the district for the proper expenses id
attending to the grand arrnv encampment

to lay Bynum’s resolution on the table,
which motion was lost by a vote of 50
yeas and 130 nays. The previous ques
tion was ordered by Bynum’s motion and
was carried by a vote of 174 yeas and 21
nays.
THE SENATE.
TuEBDAT —The presidential campaign
was fairly started in the senate Tuesday
ou a basis ol Mr. Hale’s resolution assert
ing the great benefits r«sul mg to the
people of the United States from the re-
I üblican policy of protection, aud ques
tioning the possible effect of the demo
cratic policy oi "tariff for revenue only.”
Mr. Hale gave a history, from his point of
view, of the recent Chicago convent! m,
so far as the tariff plank of the platform
is concerned; stating that it was framed
so us to suit the candidates, und declar
ing the issue between the two parties had
thus been made up, and the fight
would be waged on that issue until
decided by the suffrages of the people
next November. Mr. Vest, oil the par 1
of democracy, accepted the challenge and
had much lo say as to the operation of
tlie McKinley act in increasing the cost
of dty goods and hardware, in reducing
wages and in causing strikes and luhor
troubles. He also commented upon the
choice of the new chairman of the re
publican national committee as being iu
tine with the policy of enc >uraging mo
nopolies. After that the resolution was
laid aside till Wednesday with
out action, the conference re
ports on the Indian and army
appropriation bills were preseved aud
agreed to. The latter bill has still, how
ever, one qu stion open and un.li-posed
of. It is as to the payment for govern
ment transportation ou non-bonded por
tions of tho Union and Southern Pucifi
railroads. The agricultural appropriation
bill was passed and consider* ion id the
legislative appropriation bill resumed.
The abolition continuance of the U ah
commission was a subject of discussion on
the legislative bill; and that question went
over without being decided.
Wkdnihdav.—Mr. Davis, from the
commit too on foreign relations, reported
track a trill i trodne d try hint on the 22d
to secure certain reciprocal a ivanta < s to
citizens, ports and vessels of the United
Sta es, and it was placed on the calendar.
The conference report on the diplomatic
and cousular appropriation trill was
presented and agreed to. The leg
islative, executive amt judicial appro
priation bill was then taken up, the
question being on the amendment ns to
the Utah commission. Senator Hu ton
introduced bills app -opriatin : $.1,000 for
the benefit of the l.gsl h irsof the late
Senator John S. Barbour and tlie widow
of Represent*'ive Willi mi 11. F. Lee, of
Virginia. The senate cor finned the
nomination of John W. Poster as secre
tary of state.
Thursday. —The anti-optious bill has
gone over f r a week without action by
the senate judiciary committee. Mr.
Hale, from the conference committee on
tlie naval appropriation bill, reported
that the eoram.ttee was unable to agree,
lie moved the senate further insist on its
amendments and ask fora further confer
ence It was agreed to nud a further
conference ordered.
Friday —The senate voted to adjourn
over till Tuesday. Mr Mi P erson with
drew his request for the privilege of ad
dressing the senate on the silver bill,
and he also withdrew “any and all ob
jections, expressed or implied, to the
order of the senate.” He should offer no
objection and no dilatory motion, and
do nothing to interfere with carrying
into effect the order of the senate. An
attempt was made to agree upon some
future time when a vote shall be taken
on th 3 silver bill, but owing to the ab
sence of Mr. Morgan, the matter went
over with ur an agreement being reach
ed. At 2 o’clock Mr. Mor-tm, »ho had
shortly before enter d the chamber, in
quired of tbechur as to what propositian
had been made on the subject of the
silver bill. He said that he under
stood that the senator from New
Jersey tad withdrawn his objection
and that he did not desire to
speak on the bill on account of his health.
I!e had also been informed that the sena
tor from New York (Mr. Hill) desired to
speak on the bill. He had ; nquired of
that seuator whether he had any such
purpose. Mr. Ilill had told him that if
the bill were postponed h" would prob
ably spoilk upon it, but that he did not
desire to have the bill p> stponed on that
account. If the senator fr m New York
• lesirid to speak upon it he (Mr. Morgan)
would He very willing to have the time
cxtmded to give him that opportunity.
The presiding officer. Mr. Manderson,
in answer to Mr. Morgan’s question said
that no proposition bad been submitted
to the chair during the morning, although
there lmd been some discussion as to the
propositions, but nothing had yet. been
entertained by the chair. A colloquial
discussion between several senators was
interrupted by the presiding officer, who
at 2 o’clock p. m. laid the silver bill be
fore tbe senate as unfinished business and
said that be felt it his duty to call atten
tion to tbe unanimous consent given on
the 29th of June. Mr. Gormm appealed
to the senator from Alabama (Mr. Mor
gan) not to insist on having a vote taken
now, hut to let it be fixed for some other
day. Mr. Morgan said that he had
drawn up a proposition which he would
submit to ihe senate, but first he re
peated his previous remark that he
had asked the senator from New
Y"rk (Mr. Hill) whether he desired to
speak on the bill and that that senator
said he did not. He went on to submit
a proposition. It was “that on Thmsday
the 7ih of June, at 4 o’clock p. m., the
senate will, without further (iibale, pro
ceed to vote on the bifl and any pend ng
amendments wiihout any dilatory mo
tion.” the presiding officer stated the
question, and Senator Hill asked if de
bate was in order. The pr siding offi er
intimated Hint without unanimous con
sent—which he. however, was powerless
to enforce—debate was not in order.
Mr. Vi S' aske I uuauimous consent tnat
tbe sena or from New York might ad
dres- the senate if he desired to. Con
sent being given, Mr. Hill said; “I de
sire simply to speak a word >n reference
to this parti' ular motion. lam not quite
pn pared to agree that that motion is in
order at this time. That question is not,
however, before the senate, and it is un
necessary that I should express my opin
ion upon it. It involves purely a ques
tion of parliamentary law. It does seem to
me strange that if the senate recognizes it
is right to make an agreement of this ohar
acti rit has no the right to enforce i'. I
rise simply to state that I shall vote
against the motion to recommit, net on
any parliamentary ground, but simply on
the ground that, in my judgment, the
motion is a violation of the unanimous
consent given a few days ago.” A vote
was then taken on the motion to recom
mit, and was defeated—yeas, 28; nays,
31. Mr. Vest moved to postp me further
consideration of the bill till the first
Monday in D< cember. Defeated. Mr
Palmer’s amendment to strike out all of
the original bill except the first section
was agreed to without division. Mr.
Stewart then offered as an amendment
his sub-titute providing for free coinage
of rilver bullion under terms of the act
of 1878, and tepeuling the law of 1890.
Several amendments and motions to ad
journ were defeated. Mr. Stewart’s sub
stitute was then agreed to without divis
ion. Mr. Morgan moved to amend Mr.
Stewait’s substitute by addb g the fol
lowing proviso: Providing that
the secretary of the treas
ury shall proceed to have coined all the
silver bullion in tbe treasury purch sed
with silver or coin certificates. The bill
was then passed—yeas, 29; nays, 25.
When the result was announced there
was a manifestation of triumph on the
floor and in the galleries, which the pre
siding officer hud some trouble iu re
pre-sing. A brief executive session was
held, and then the senate adjourned till
Tuesday.

A iWoimmiol to Judge King.
One of the best financiers Georgia ever
hid was Judge John P. King, of Augus
'a. He was sufe, prudent and succes-ful.
Judge King was a firm believer in legiti
uate' trade and in “paying as you go.”
hose who served with him on the board
of directors oi the Georgia railroad and
of the Atlanta and Wist Point railroad
remember that his annual reports were
models of common sense and sterling hou
i sty. Through the influence of Judge King
the citizens of Stone Mountain enj >y the
benefits of a public park—the “King
park.” A movement is now on foot to erect
in this park a granite shaft to the memory
"f Judge King. The State Agricultural
society will bn invited to hold its sum:ner
session of 1893 on the very spot at the
base of the mountain where it was organ
ized, and during the lession the corner
stone will be laid with interesting exer
cises. Hon. John S. Davidson will be
asked to lay the stone a d Hon. J C. C.
Black to deliver an address. The move
ment is generally approved, and at tho
next session of the town council of Stone
Mountain, of the DeKalb County Agri
cultural society and of the State Agricul
tural society committees will be appointed
to make the necessary arrangements.

(irorgia ( rolls.
The Georgia weather crop report for
past week formed by Mr. Park Morrill,
is of a favorable character. For the first
time daring tho present season no com
plaint is made in any section of a deft
ciency of rain. On nearly every day of
the wet k showers hove fallen in every
part of the state. In some cases these
have been very hard and have washed
hilly The streams iu the north
are ver> high, while in the south, where
the ground was previously dry, less effect
is seen. The rain coming in short show
ers, there has bee i a fair amouut of si*i
ehine in most districts and with high
temperature, both day and night, vegeta
tion has made rap'd growth. On the
whole the week could h irdly have been
better with crops in the con ition they
were.
In the northern portion of the state
cotton is iu more than aver ig- condition.
With the recent heat and th showers of
the past we k, it is taki g on a heavier
form, and while still rather small, its
gr iwth at present is as rapid as could be
wished. It is late, probably ten days,
and few blooms have appeared as yet.
Corn is in excellent condition; in fa
vored localities it wa3 never better.
Favorable we ather is fast advancing it to
normal siz • for the season. Early fields
are in tassel and are being laid by. Tin
only eomplaiut is that excess ve rainfall
has fl i ded some lowland fields and
damaged them. Wheat rye and second
crop oats are being hirvested and the
yield is good. A fair crop of peaches is
being secur d, although their condition
is very irregular some orchards bearing
heavily and others very poorly. Such a
result would naturally follow from the
late fri-st that visited this section in the
spring. Irish potatoes arc of excellent
quality and vegetables general y are in
fine co-idition. The setting of tobacec
plants has been about completed.
In the central belt of the state the past
week is pronounc d by many the best of
the season. There have been the same
frequent showers, interspersed with w .rm
sunshine. Under these conditions cot
ton has improved rapidly Hent and rain
have killed the lice and the cut worms
have disappeared. But the same causes
have promoted a rapid growth of grass
and rendered active work necessiry to
keep the crop clean. Cotton is now rap
idly gaining the growth lost earlier in
the season. Ea ly corn has been nearly
all laid by and gives promi-e of a good
crop. Four weeks more oi good weather
will assure a good crop. Late planted
corn is growing rapidly While the early
drought did some ha'm, there seems no
reason to fear any -hoi tage at present.
The acreage in corn is much larger tba
a year ago. Fruit in this potion of the
state promises a plentiful crop, with th
possible except! n of apples. Peaches
at some points, while abundant,
are inclined to rot. Small fruits
are abund nt, and grapes promise a good
crop. The setting of sw-et potato vines
is being carried on rapidly in *ll dis
tricts, while from the ea stern counties a
few swt et potatoes are being shipped.
Th- planting of Irish potatoes has been
finished, and the crop is in good condi
lion. Th» melon crop is ripening, and
the outlook has improved, although the
rain has been a little too abundant. The
first crop will probably be somewhat
sh rt, but is coining into mirket earlier
than usual on account of the previous
drought. The condition of pastures has
improved, and stock has Rained greatly
in condition.
For the first time since February, there
has been alt the rain desired in the south
ern part of the state. Copious showers
have fallen nearly every day, and, with
abundant be.t and sunshine, the weather
has stimulated a rapid growth of all crops.
As a rule, the cotton crop had been well
worked, and only needed rain to bring
it forward. It is blooming freely,aDd,al
though still small, is in promising condi
tion, except for poor stands in some in
stances. The rain of the past week has
been rather more than was needed by
this crop. Corn has been generally laid
by. The previous drought has caused
some shortage in western counties, but in
eastern ones there is every prospect for a
large crop. The fruit crop is turning out
we?l, and shipments of pears will soon
begin. The first crop of melons is
light, but the chances are excellent for a
good second crop after the r fleet of the
present rains has been felt. The setting
of potato slips is being rapidly com
pleted. A large crop of pens has ben
planted and is doing well. The grass is
troublesome in rice fields, as the streams
are too low and brackish for flooding.
Upland rice is in good condition. Cane
and truck crop 3 are reported in excellent
shape.
DUN’S TRADE REPORT.
Unprecedented Prosperity Shown for
the Past Year.
It G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: Bu im ss failures occurring
throughout the country, during the we k
number for the United States, 171, and
Canada, 26; total, 197. The fiscal ye.r,
never matched in the whole history of the
country, in the volume of industrial pro
duction, in the magnitude of of domestic
exchanges, or in foreign trade has just
closed. Imports for the year have been
about $833,000,000; the increase at New
York in June over last year be ing about
eighteen per cent. Exports from New
York in June gaiue 1 15.4 per cent, and
the aggregate lor the year has
been about $1,027,000,000. Railroad
earnings have been the large-t in
any jear thus far, and the clearings in
June the largest ever known outside of
New York. Failures for half the year
have been 5,503, against 0,074 in 1891,
and the liabilities, $62,000,000, against
$92,000,000, and on the whole about the
smallest for five years
In spite of low prices, additional works
are going into operation, even in iron
manufacture, and yet more in woolen
and cotton. Moreover the crops of this
year promiee to be very satisfactory,
and the new half year begins with ex
cellent prospects. Excessive rams
hive again set back grain, to a limited
extent, principally in the low lands,
but the wheat receipts at west
ern points have been 1,883,000
bushels in three days, and Atlantic ex
ports 959,000 bushels, showing that the
old supplies are not exhausted and prices
are one-eighth lower than a week ago.
Corn is a cent higher in spite of the large
receipts and very light exports, the fear
being that a part of the corn may be de
stroyed by wet weather or so delayed that
frost will catch it before mat.urity. Oats
are also a cent higher. Speculation bar
been light in grain, but pork products
have advanced sharply; pork, $1 per bar
rel; lard, 42c per 100 pounds, and hogs,
85c.
Speculation in cotton has been active
with sales of 420,000 bales here resulting
in a decline of a sixteenth, though the
receipts are getting light, but the crop
prospects are good and the stock in sight
is enormous. The hardware tn.de is
large, thoug i at low prices, and in other
branches of business is fair for the sea
son. At Baltimore good orders for
clothing are noted and in early season
for shoes expected, thou 0 a the packing
season is t xpected to be light. E .stem
shipments of boots and shoes gain every
week on all the pa-.t records, and for the
year are nearly 6 per cent, ahead of last
year and only I per cent, below those of
1890 Woolen mills are ra her more ac
tive than usual for the se s u, and cotton
manufacture has rarely been in better
shape as to stocks unsold.
Speculation in stocks has been languid
for holders i xpectcd a great pubic de
mand fir investment of unprecedented
dividends and interest payments on July
Ist, but it has not yet appeared. Mon y
is abundant at all financial centers wilh
but moderate demaud, and collections
generally good, except where wet wea ti
er and bad roads check distribution and
settlements. Rarely has the country be
gan a new fiscal year with more satisfac
tory commercial prospects, and there I
i s financial apprehension than is usual
n a presidential y ar.

World’s Fair Commission Bankrupt.
A Chicago dispatch ol Wedne day
says: Bankruptcv has at last reached
the World’s Columbian exposition.
Every cent of the appropriation has been
expended, and Secretary Dickinson h s
not enough money left to buy postage
stamps unless he draws on his own re
sources .
The World’© Filr Finances.
Assistant Secretary Ne t eton, who rep
resents the treasury department ia its re
lations to the World’s Columbian Expo
sition. having had his attention called to
a press dispatch announcing the bank
ruptcy of the World’s Columbian com
mission, stated that in his judg
ment the publication, without ac
companying facts, was misleading and
calculated to do mischief. Congress has
hitherto appropriated a definite sum of
money to meet the current expenses of
the national commission, these expenses
being chiefly in connection with hold
ing occasional meetings, traveling ex
pens s of members of the commission
and a few salaries at their Chicago office.
During the fiscal year just en led these
expenses have exceeded the year's
appropriation by a few thousand
dollars and certain disbursements
necessary await tho passage of the new
appropriation bill now pending in con
gress The term, "bankruptcy,’' has no
application to the case, and the condi
tion of this special appropriation has
nothing to do with the finance of the
World's Columbian exposition itself or
with the progris- of the work.
