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- nay DeKulb iu Harper’-. Made Him Tired.

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 at Washington. Mr. Arinond moved 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. NOTES. The president, on Thursday, nomi nated the following postmast-rs: Geor gia— Bartow F. Carter, Cedartown.

Foster was at tHo state deparintent prompt am) early Thursday morning and began at onco the transaction of business. There was no ceremony whatever. Most of the for eigti ministers now in the city called at the department during the day to pay their respects to the new i fit ial and there was a large number of general callers. There was only about fifty thousand dollars d ffereuee between tho two houses ou the agricu tural Appropriation bill aud each side made coucessi us so that the bill will show an increase of nearly twenty-five thousand dol ars over the bill as it passed the houso. The item rehi live to crop reports of the agricultural department stands as it left the sanaie. The secretary of the treasury had a conference with president Thursday aft' moon in regard to American repre sentives in tho internaiion d monetary conference. There will be five f tiiesu conferees and the selection is said to have been norrowed down to seven per sons. One of thc-e is Senator June-, of Nevada, whose appointment is practically settled.

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.
