Baltimore Sun. A 4,000-ton cargo of genuine Peruvian guano direct from the Lobos Islands has just been land ed at Baltimore by the British steamer Condor. This is the first full cargo of genuine Peruvi an guano that has been brought to this port since 1880.' The first shipment sinoe that time was /l*tons, delivered at the same lace last May by the steamer trathmore. Prior to 1880 this guano was brought to Baltimore by sailing ships direct from the same is lands, but these shipments were discontinued ou acoount. of the wars between Pern and Chile and resulting litigation, whioh tied up the guano deposits until a few years ago. Since that time the agent of the Peruvian Govern ment haB continuously tried to renew the importations of this guano, but fouud no one willing to take hold of it, as the price de manded was regarded as too high. The Peruvian Government finally decided to reduce the price of the Lobos guano. The guano deposits are situa ted on rooky islands and in the gullies along the coast of Peru. These plaoes have been for ages the abode of innumerable sea birds, such as pelicans, penguins, etc. Here were their living and breeding places and here they died Oaptain Anderson, of the Condor, says that there is estima ted to be over 1,000,000 tons of guano remaining on that island alone and on adjaoeut islands, and with deposits on the coast there is practically au iuexhaust ible supply.

Watkins, of Clin ton, Mo.j has in his possession his own death warrapt, issued and signed by United States offioers during the civil war. Capt. Wat kins was sentenced to be shot for recruiting Confederate soldiers inside the Union lineB. He es caped from Gratiot prison in St. Louis, where he was confined awaiting the death penalty, and was never captured. Recently Capt. Watkins seoured the war. rant for his own death. He prizes the war relic highly! * —! According to the Clinton (Mo.) Herald, the following notice was recently found tacked on the door of a local church: “There will be preaching in this house a week from noxt Wednesday, Providence permittin’, aud there will be preaching whether or no on Mon day following upon the subject ‘He that believeth and is bap tized shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be damned at 8:80 in the afternoon.” Has Mr. Cleveland? Says the Memphis News: “If Bryan will how come for ward and deolare unequivocally that he will ’support the nominee and platform of the next national convention, the last stumbling block in the way of complete con cord will be removed. M To whioh the Montgomery Ad vertiser replies: “Possibly so, but we shall not undertake the feat of holding our breath till he “oornes forward’ with such declaration.”' Has Mr. Cleveland yet “come forward” and declared “unequiv ocally that lie will support the nominee and platform of the next national convention?” In the language of the Advertiser, “We shall not undertake the. feat of holding our breath till he ‘comes forward with suoh declaration.’ ” Nd one, so far as we know, has been able to ascertain if Mr. Cleveland voted for the democrat ic nomiuee for president, and sup ported the platform of his party, in the last two campaigns. Dem ocracy in 1906 and 1900 waited patiently for Mr. Cleveland to come forward and deolare un equivocally” that he would sup* “ort the nominee and platform, ut they waited in vain. Yet these Olevelandites ory loudly to Bryan to “oome for ward and declare unequivnoally,” but it'is all right for Cleveland to “go way back and sit down” in si lence. —Macon News. Senator Hanna believes the Democratic party will nominate Judge Alton* B. Parker of New York for president next year, says Walter Wellman,. the spe cial correspondent of the Phila delphia Press at Washington. He also believes Judge Parker will make a strong candidate and that, the Republicans will haye to fight hard to carry New Yoik state for President Roosevelt. He has no fear that President Roose velt is to be defeated, but he does not share jrhe views of thos$ Re publicans who think the battle is to be won with ease.
