Representative Kahn pointed out
that the telegram holding up the

"Did some one call on the attorney

insidious political pull in having the

J 'It was evidently neeeasarv to

"Why the president saw lit to scold

As late as last evening a dispatch

tioning anything in the ature of a
catastrophe or a revolutlo.
Political conditions in Peru have
been distuibed for some time, the an
ger of the populace being directed
chiefly against the senators. A bomb
was exploded at the residence of the
speaker of the senate last week and
on the same day a mob prevented the
snators entering the senate chamber
for the session. The cause of the
trouble was that the speaker had lg-i
nored a decision of the supreme
court in regard to the election of some
senators.
Telegrams were exchanged by this
city and Lima this morning through
the Central and South American Tele
graph company as usual. At the of

no Information bad been received that,
would indicate any unusual occur
rence at Lima.
