CORRESPONDENCE AS TO THE RECOGNITION BY THE LATTER OF THE CALDERON GOVERNME: Correspondence furnished for publication by the State department shows that on the 14th Inst. Secretary Blaine wrote to Hon. Isaac P. Christiancy saying: ‘You gre quoted in di ferent newspapers as asserting that my official dispatch to you of May 9th did not contain the first paragraph as recently printed.” Mr. Chris- tiancy replied next day, stating that he had said to all who interviewed him that he remembered well all inet pet of the letter containing the in- structions, though he had no recoliections of the first paragraph preceding the instructions, adding: ‘Iwas asked by two at least of my interviewers, and I think by all, if I meant to au- thorize the statement that the first paragraph as printed was not in the original letter, and I ex- pressly declared that I did not, and expressly forbade any such statement.’ He says in a pt that he has examined the record and as no doubt ‘that it contained the first re graph as printed, though, as was natural, { had not charged my memory with it, as, unlike the rest of the letter, it called forno action and no special attention.” Secretary Blaine states that Mr. Christiancy never had an instruction to recognize the Cal- deron government except on certain conditions, the fulfilment of which by Peru was left to be determined by Mr. Christiancy. The letter in which Mr. Christiancy recognized the Calderon government shows that in his own judgment, according to the conditions prescribed, the time had arrived for formal recognition. * ——__—_~-e-—______ The Contingent Fund Investigatio: The sub-committee of investigation into con- tingent fund expenditures met at noon to-day in the roum of the appropriations committee, Telegrams to The Star.

Sr Paci, December 17.—The Dispatch con- tains some interesting facts concerning an ex- tensive and peculiar land swindle, which is being perpetrated in Dakota just south of the Manitoba line, by parties residing in Emerson, Manitoba. It appears that these Canadians | have, by misrepresentation, entered lands in Dakota and are cultivating these lands at the same time that they are retaining their resi- Jects of Queen Victoria. In nearly every case they have avoided filing a valid declaration of intention to become citizens of the United States, The business and social standing of some of the parties engaged in the swindle is such as to create surprise that they should be found in it. Being citizens of another country they are beyond the jurisdiction of the U. . courts.

It was brought into the front room of the house but threw the household into such a state of alarm that it was taken to an out-of-the-way corner of the City Hail square, opposite the |house. Here, with some trepidation, the paper wrapper was broken off, disclosing a cigar box underneath. The cover of the box was pried open carefully and the infernal machine was found to contain a coil of rope with a noose on the end—an engine of death which might prove very effective under some circumstances, The box also contained a polite not “ With the compliments of the Garfield thur Club, of Meyerdale, I officials, who had been spe | box, were arranging to have s it opened by some j electrical apparatus, but their elaborate prep- arations have been stopped.
