One of the terms of peace was that the victor, Chile, should occupy the two valu- able Peruvian nitrate provinces of Tacna and Arica, adjoining the Chilean boundary on the north, for a period of ten years. At the end of that period of time the people of the provinces were to determine by their vote whether their lands should remain in the possession of Chile or revert to Peru- vian sovereignty. In the first case, Chile was to pay Peru $10,000,000 silver’ soles, while If the province was returned to Peru, the government of that country was to pay to Chile a corresponding sum of money. ‘The allegation is now that the treaty pro- vision on this point was not executed; that there was no plebiscite, and that no money passed. Because the United States was deeply in- terested in bringing about the peace which terminated the bitter war between Chile and Peru, it is probably assumed by the Peruvians that our government likewise retains an interest in the faithful execution of the terms of the treaty. It must, how- ever, be admitted that up to this time our government has not manifested any par- ticular interest in the subject, and has not even recelved any application, secret or otherwise, from either of the parties to intervene at this last phase, though the recent reports seem to indicate a purpose. on the part of the Peruvians at least, to enlist our sympathies in their behalf. e+ ____ COLUMBIAS WON TWo. past he had been on different Potomac river steamboats, and since 1881 had been in the employ of the Washington Steam- boat Company. In respect to his memo the flags on the steamboats are at haif- mast today. The schooner Three Brothers, Capt. Ken- drick, and the pungies Cathelene, Capt. Henley, and the William Turner, all laden with cord wood, arrived for Carter & Clark yesterday. P. H. Biscoe fs looking for the schooner Sidonia Curley, with a cargo of pine lumber from Norfolk.

The house boat of the Capital Yacht Club fs to be fitted up for the summer season. It is now lying in the basin near the bathing beach. The schooner Annie M. Hodges sailed from Alexandria yesterday, with a cargo of burnt sulphur rock for a lower river port. Tho little side-wheel steamer George J. Seufferle, which is now lying at Altchison's wharf, Alexandria, it {s stated, has been chartered to run excursions to Glymont during the summer. ‘The first coal boats from Cumberland to come down the canal for Alexandria this season were delivered at Agnew’s shipyard yesterday. The large house boat belonging to Mr. T. F. Rawlins is being refitted and repainted for service on the river. The schooner Isaac Solomon completed the discharging of her cargo of wood, and cleared light to a river point to reload to Carter & Clark. ~ The repainting of Mr. J. A.

The Golden Eagle Bowling Club disposed gf Its chances to win the champlonsh{p pen- hant of the District Bowling League last night. The team met the Columbia bowlers on the jatters’ alleys and was defeated by the home club in two games. The Colum- bias bowled in excellent form, making two 800 games and winning easily when their score fell below that point. Had the Eagles lost but one game, the league situation would have been very much complicated, since that result would have tied the Y. M- ©. A. and Carroll teams, which have the same percentage for the leadership and have both finished their games. But the Eagles being disposed of, ation is still in the hands of the C the last scheduled games of the s the situ- Iumblas ason 11 maining to be played by them with the Saengers on the alleys of the German Club next Monday evening. A three-time win- ning by the home team would give them the championship, ng both the clubs now leading. & should the Ger- mans lose one decision will be sull in doubt, since it will be necessary to arrange a pos . cries between that club and the Carroll and Association tives, each of the three having won and lost pre- clsely the same number, So a good deal will depend on the outcome of Monday's games, and the alleys will doubtless be crowded with bowling enthusiasts. There was some very good individual as well as team work in the games last night, Rodrick leading with an excellent average and adding some forty points above his average to his already large total. He was well supported by all of the Columbias. The Eagles were a Iittle ragged in their work, Laue and Armstrong alone main- taining their steady work. The opening game was the closest of the series and seemed to be Columbia's game at almost every point up to the ninth frame. Here the side went to pleces, every man but one breaking. The Eagles passed the home club at this stage and won out by a small margin. The score follows: etntenntet ett seeded $1 gloves, 39c.

A Number of Rulings by Officials of the Treasury. Commissioner Wilson of the internal revenue bureau has received an inquiry as to whether, under the new Porto Rican act, beer exported to Porto Rico will be required to be stamped under existing reve- nue regulations as applied for home con- sumption or if it can be removed under ex- port#stamps, as heretofore. In his reply. the commissioner calls at- tention to the ruling. of his office to the ef- fect that Porto Rico is not a foreign coun- try within the meaning of the custom draw- back law, and that therefore no refund of duty can be allowed by way of drawback on goods exported to that country. ‘The commissioner holds that on and after May 1, 1900, articles subject to internal revenue tax cannot be experted to Porto Rico In bend or with benefit of drawback of the tax paid under internal revenue laws. Assistant Secretary Spaulding also has rendered an opinion to much the same ef- fect. He holds, first, that merchandise can- not be withdrawn from bonded warehouses in the United States on and after the 2d an export bond, because such a shipment would not constitute an exportation within the meaning of the laws relating to the bond and warehouse system. Second, for an analogous reason, merchandise manu- factured in the United States from import- ed materials cannot be shipped to Porto Rico on and after the 2d proximo with benefit of drawback. Third, bags for sugar shipped from the United States to Porto Rico will be entitled to free entry on and after the 2d proximo. Commissioner Chamberlain of the navi- gation bureau has issued a circular to the effect that pursuant to section % of the Porto Rican act vessels entering the United States from Porto Rico from and after May 1, 1900, or entering Porto Rico from the United States will be exempt from ton- nage dues. From and after May 1 vessels entering Porto Rico elsewhere than from the United States will be subject to ton- nage taxes, as provided by the laws of the United States. ‘The Treasury Department has tssued a circular under the new Porto Rican gov- ernment act, which will take effect May 1, providing for the registry as vessels of the United States of vessels owned by the In- habitants of Porto Rico at the Gate of the ratification of the treaty. Registry is to be granted in accord with the laws of the United States, except those which are not locally applicable. These are, first, the law requiring the owners, masters, and all watch officers to be American citizens. In Heu of this the regulation provides that all such persons must take the oath of allegiance to the United States. The re- quirement that vessels of the United States must be built in this country {s not locally applicable to Porto Rico. The Porto Rican merchant fleet consists of twenty-two ves- sels, of which only two are steam vessels. ‘The largest of these, the Vasco, ts 159 gross tons. The remainder are all Jess than 100 gross tons. —__+2+__ FATAL LABOR RIOT IN CHICAGO. One Man Killed and Several Others Seriously Injured.

Big Move Thought to Be Afoot in Steel ‘Trust. The New York Herald of today “John W. Gates and the steel and people who have been so much in evide in Wall street and at the Waldorf-Astor) for the last week, departed for Chicas yesterday afternoon. With Mr. Gates went President John Lambert, William Edenborn, Isaac Ellwood, Aifred Clifford, William P. Palmer, John A. Drake and James Hopkins. Only Max Pam, the legal adviser of the Gates party, was left behind, “At the Waldorf-Astoria last night the unannounced departure of Gates and his followers was a genuine surprise, and the reason of their going was a riddle that uo one seemed able to solve. All sorts of guesses were ventured, and there were vague Intimations of litigation by dissatis- fied stockholders which the steel and wire executive committee might not want to face. But nothing in any way definite on this score could be ascertained. “Jefferson Seligman, of J. & W. Seligman, declared that the exodus was news to aim, and that he knew of no reason why it should have been made. a CARTER OFF FOR PRISON. Ex-Capt: of Engineers Taken to Fort Leavenworth. Under escort of Lieut. Harker of the 15th Infantry, one non-commissioned officer and four privates, Oberlin M. Carter, ex-cap- tain of engineers, U. S. A:, convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to five years in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, left Castile Williams, New York, for his prison home last evening. The last step in the legal eondemnation of the ex-captain was taken yesterday afternoon. Carter ha been on Governor's Island just seven da: less then seven months. That time will be deducted from his original sentence of five years, and for good behavior he will be al- lowed five days off for every twenty-five days of his sentence. If he conforms to the requirements of the prison, thereby getting the allowance, he will have yet to serve about three years and six months in the prison at Fort Leavenworth. Abram J. Rose, counsel for Carter, sald that he had not determined whether or not any further efforts would be made in behalf of the ex-captain. If further effort was made, he was not prepared to say yet what the first step would be. Disastrous Fire in Philadelphia, Fire which started on the top floor of J. ‘W.
