The Plattsmouth Sensation. Prarrsmourn, Neb,, May 17.—[Special ‘Telegram to the Bee.]—Last night's shoot- ing scrape is the absorbing topic at present. At least a dozen witnesses testify that the shooting was unjustifiable, as the wounded man had done nothing which would warrant such an attack. The feeling of the com munity is strong against the Pinkerton men, ‘who nave been making themselves as offen- sive as possible since they have been in the city. ‘'he Pinkerton who did the shooting has not been found. There are several theories r to his whereabouts but it is rather certain hat he escaped from the hoteland left the ity during the night, The Pinkertons re- Yuse to say auything in cefense of their com- rade except that he was knocked down be- fore he commenced shooting.

An English Scheme to Control the Gudnd Beds. —— PERU BETWEEN TWO STOOLS. e Railways to be Built and the Country t be Opened Generally—The Chilians Have Their Eyes: Open. 1Copimight 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpos, May 17.—-[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Ber.|—The Peruvian Landholders® association, of which Sir Henry W. Tyler is chisirman, aro at_length in good spirits over the finality of the arrangement recently made by which they are to get some payment. For details I was referred by some of them to Mr. W, W. Grace, who is a brother of Messrs. William R. and Michael P, Grace. On secing him at his residence in Holand park he referred me to an eminent solicitor, Mr. Gerald Augustus Ollard, legal adviser to the bondholders. I found Mr. Ollard in his oftice in that Nassau street or sort of legal region of London known as Bedford Row, Holborn. He very freely smid: *“The Peruvian bondholders represented by the committee in London hawe claims against the Chilian gov- erment in respect to certain properties con- tained in deposits of nitrate, which were con- ceded by Peru to Chili ia the treaty of peace at the termination of the recent war. These claims have been taken up and sup- ported by the English government, and Mr. W. R. Grace was very anxious while on a re- cent visit here to see tho whole matter set- tled. In regard to Peru and Chili, however, he had now made proposals, the nature of which is not yet fully known {to the English government. The purport of these propo- sats is expected to be known in London about the end of this month; this is where the mis- taken idea originates that the thing ‘hangs fire! I may tell you that the scttlement will take the form of payment in Chilian bouds, “Is there any contract yet drawn up between the committeo of bondholders and the Peruvian government?” “Oh yes, last year a contract was on- tored into between the committee and the Peruvian government for the set- tlement of the Peruvian liability as to the external debt. That contract was called the Grace contracton account of the part he took in bringing it about. You see by a copy of the contract I now hand you that it provides for working a number of railways and for opening Peru generally. That contract, however, was not submitted to the last Peruvian congress, owing to cer- tain objections made by the Chilian govern- ment. Fortunately for all concorned these objections have now been overcome through the exertions of the English government; so that the contract is;expected to be brought before the Peruviancongress, in its existing form, when it meets it July next.” “But you will waut a lot of money to carry this out” St “Very likely, but I .believe the necessary finan arrangemonts are substantially completed in London., A syndicate of com- mercial gentlemen, domposed of bankers and merchants, are ready to back us with any amount, and 8o the affair ison the high road tosuccess. Yes, itis Al but settled. We havenow only to 'get the sanction of the Pernvian congress. Qur committee of bond- holders consists of Sir Henry Tyler, George H. Hopkinson, bankers, Frederick Santieg Hammack, formerly Chilian consul, Colonel Sir Alfred Kirby, Colonel J. T. North, Mr. John Proctor, and Earl Donoughmore. The Peruvian debt, you must know, amounts to about £55,000,000. The railways are ex- pected to yield from £80,000 to £35,000a year. The customs duties yield £120,000. The guano yields from £100,000 to £150,000. At the completion of the scttlement the bond- holders will reccive from 4 to 1 per cent.” He exhibited a copy of the contract, which has been modified since it was first prepared and executed on May 16, 1857, It seems that Peru assigns to the Grace syndicate its rights to work its silver, coal, cinnabar and other mineral mines and guano, with participation in the profits, such workingto continue for a long scries of years. The syndicate is author- ized to construct quays or wharves, and 1s to have free use of existing quays of the rail- ways. which are ten in number. It also authorizes the construction of high roads in all departments in the Peruvian republic. To further commerce in cocca, coffee, wheat, maize, alcohol, bark, wool, cotton and tim- ber, aud to work all the mines. The govern- ment give the committee 1,500,000 hectares of land for colonization purposes and in arious departments the right to export guano discovered or to be discovered. The bondholders have the right to create mortgages on all concessions not to exceed £6,000,000; the right to relicve a percentage on all custom house dues and the right to establish a bank at Lima on the part of the boudholders. They agree to provide free passes on all railways for Peruvian officials, soldiers to be transported at half rate, and to give the government free telegraph and maig services, Whatever the committee may im- port shall be free and the syndicate is ab- solved from all taxes. The contract occu- pies 100 pages of legal manuscript, I was subsequently referred to Mr. Joseph Nelson s knowing much more about this syndicate. I found him at the National Liberal club. He de- serves his reputation, He has probably forgotten more about guano than most men will ever know. “Yes,” he said, “I can tell ou all about this Grace syndicate, I ought to be posted on the subject after all the attention I have given to it durmg the last twenty years, Within a few days an agreement has been concluded and signed in Chili between the Chilian government and Mr. H. Frazer, Brit- ish wminister to Chifi.” The Peruvian bond- holders were represented by Michael P, Grace, brother of" ek-Mayor William R, Grace, and by Gerald A. Ollard, while the Peruvian minister of fipance looked aftertho interests of his country, It is impossible to know the precise tekms until the arrival of the mails, about the 2ith of this month, However, I have in$idbh information on the subject and am able 'fd assure you that the terms of the contract are substautially as follows: First, the/awoney now tied up in the Bank of England; about £500,000, will be divided among the.Peruvian bondholders; second, these bondhigifers will be given en- tire control of the guuno beds, they paying therefor to the Chilian government a royalty of twenty shillings (orsay about §5) per ton; third, the Chilian go¥ernment counsents to the proposed Grace —contract with Peru on condition that she be required to as- sume no eru’s indebtedne Now auses of this agre went, the £500,000 referred to comes from the proceeds of guuno sales made by Chili since the conclusion of peace with Peru. In the treaty made after the war in 1879 Chili from Peru all her guano lands, to pay to the Peruvian bondholders 5 per cent of the amounts received for the guano discovered up to that t The money has. remained tied up on ace onflicting claims among the: bondholde; is probable that the Dreyfus t aside as to the s oud clause well concede the guane beds under suct: pouditions. She bus mado enough out of ‘Peru alr v. The supaly of guano is becowing exhausted, ans it bas always been an annoyance to her. The con- quered province of Tarapaca, where the guano lies, brings Chili a greater rovenuo from its wealth of nitrates, on which she has only to collect an export duty, than from all its guano. You must rise very early to get. the best of a Chilian. The Genoeso have a world-wide reputation for being close-fisted, but 1 will back a Chilian against one of them. Then in regard to the clause. You remembor that when the Grace contract was proposed last year, Chili refuscd her consent, partly because, she says, that in making such an agreement Peru was practically renouncing her au- tonomy us a nation, and principally because sho (Chili) was required to assume onc-half of Peru’s indebtedness. Now that the con tract has been modified so as not to inter fere with Chili's purse strings, we see how much she really. cared about the autonomy of her sister nation. Sowe may consider the matter as settled. In a few days the association of bondholders will have ceased to exist. They will ex- chango their bonds for shares in this new company, which will borrow capital to develop the mines, lands and railways of Peru as well as the guano in Chill Itisa collossal enterprise and a great deal of money will undoubtedly be made out of it. Peru has the richest silver mines in the world and in general underground resources. In her past she has been much more sinnod against than sinning, and when a bankrupt falls into the hands of usurers ho must expect to be plundered. It is the same way with nations. In the discovery of guano Peru thought she saw a way out of her difficultios. First she sold the right of exploration to Anthony Gibbs, who made an 1mmense fortune out of it. Others, seeing the possibilitics of this new industry, began scheming to get the control away from Gibbs, Wholesale bribery among the Peru- vian officials was the consequence, Thomas Bernard & Co. took Gibbs' place. Then Dreifus, who had been keeping a common store in Lima, by similar methods super- ceded Bernard & Co. In his turn he had to, give way to the Peruvian-Guano company. Each change of contract increased the de- moralization among Peruvians until in the end guano, instead of being a blessing, has proved a curse to the country.” ki American Girl Wedded in Paris, (Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, May 17.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tnr Bee.]—The wedding of Captain Robert Horace Walpole, nephew and heir of Lord Oxford, and Miss Louise M. Liss Corbin, elder daughter of D. C. Corbin of New York, was solemnized to-day at the English church in the Rue D'Agues- saau. The marriage took place several days earlier than was originally arranged on ac- count of business matters which obliged Mr. and Mrs. Corbin to sail per the Champagne for New York on Saturda Owing to the recent bereavement in the Corbin family the wedding was very quiet and only the rela- tives and intimate friends were present.
