BOSTON, Oct. 25.—Prof. Pickering of the Harvard observajory was asked to give his opinion on the report that the Harvard astron- omical station at Peru, had been sacked. He said that he could not verify any The in Cambridge sel- dom have any raphic communication with the station owing to the fact that it costs some $3 for each word. “I huve hopes, however, report as published i bandied about from 1 think that the s is the one on El Arequipa reports. authorities * he sald, “that the distorted by being one country (o another. ion that has been sacked Misti and mot that at Are- quipa. This station extr ly important, for it Is the highest meteorological station in the world and observations made there have already been very valuable. The loss of what instruments there are there will not amount 1o much as far as actual money goes, for the instruments would only cost a few hun- dreds in America, but it would nevertheless be a great loss to have any of these in- struments stolen, because it is with the greatest difficulty that anything can be car- ried there. he atmosphere is so rare on the summit that nobody can pretend to live there. So three times a month somehody goes (here from Arequipa and takes a record of all the work the automatic instruments have been doing in the previous ten days. From these facts you can readily understand that the sacking of that station would be a serious event,'" BORROW ED MONEY.

Upon arriving hers the Japanese are taken to the customs house, oxamined and as each has the requisite amount the party is passed. Befors starting to interfor points the money is refunded to the agent, who crosses the line agaln to await another batch The discovery of the statement Is second only to that made during the term of ex Collector Wasson when a party of twenty- seven Japa applied for admission. They were lined up in a hall outsiae the collector’s office and were called in and re-examined separately. An Inspector standing near haps pened to ses one giving money to another and, suspecting fraud, had the entire party taken before the collector in a bunch, result ing in the discovery that there was but $30 among the whole crowd, As a consequence the whole crowd except one were bundled back to Victoria, where the agents evidently concocted the scheme recently unearthed e B TWENTY VEARS' SEARCIL and Took Hi KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 25,—For the last twenty years E.
