Nature-

New York Evening Post. Last Saturday we Invited public attention to the assortment of bodily ailments which had befallen Mr. Shipherd sinoe the beginning of the investigation. We enumerated then malarial fever, ulcerated eore throat, and neuralgia, all of which had been duly certified to by an attending physician. But now erysipelas in the face has been added to the already alarming oatalogue. It is evident that Mr. Shipherd is fast becoming as interesting a subject to the medical faculty as he is now to an investigating committee of Congress. The complex relations, as well as the immediate and remote effects upon a man's moral and physical condition, of guano, a $900,000,000 claim, an extensive correspondence with important persons, and a Congressional investigation would be a most interesting problem for scientific inquiry. It may, however, be too early yet to undertake it, for nobody can tell what new kind ot disease another day's examination by the Congressional committee may develop in Mr. Shipherd's highly susceptible system.

Boston Journal: A Washington editor went the other day to Dr. Blies to have a carbuncle lanced. Bliss cut sod slashed fo vigorously that the victim fairly howled in pain: "In Heaven's name. Bliss, are you trying to murder mt?" "O, no was the phlegmatic reply. "Yon said in your paper last summer, during Garfield's ill nets, that I was equeamieh in using the knife. I'm only showing you that I'm not," and he cut harder than ever.

Haverhill's recuperation from the recent great fire is described as wonderful. The burned area will be wholly rebuilt by the end of 18S2, and in the meantime shoe making is being done, about as extemirely as ever, in temporary structures.

A cargo of monkeys arrived in New York the other day. Oadar Wilde's suc.cess doubtless had something to do with their coming.

Hon.'Richard T. Merrick lias been selected by the attorney general to assist in the prosecution jof -the star route case?. This gives'renewed confidence in the belief that the prosecutiona will be continued with renewed vigor.

The Young Men's Republican Club will hold its last meeting previous to the election, at Oriental hall this evening. Good speakers will be in attendance. Every republican is expected to turn out and participate in the proceedings.

It is reported that within the last thirty days the receipts of the Mutual Union telegraph company increased from $1,000 to $4,000 per day. That was good for a beginner, and should have been sufficient encouragement to prevent a sell out.

The democratic party is in a bad way. It is divided on the proposed constitutional amendments It is divided on the tariff question, and is harmonious on no live issue. But when it comes to wanting office it is the most harmonious party on earth.

Dr. Hawn has reconsidered his determination not to be a candidate for secretary of state, and will allow his name to go before the convention. Judging from the number of letters he has received from all portions of the state nrging him to reconsider, he may well feel certain of renomination.

Louis Finkbiner is thrifty and ecomomical, but at the same time understands how to sympathize with the deserving poor. In the past he has been opposed to unworthy mendicancy and merciful to helpless distress. His record as trustee is the strongest recommendation he has to offer for a re-election.

Henry B. Meyer, father of the late General Meyer, of the signal service, died in Chicago yesterday. He was an inventor of some note, and said to have been the first to discover the sleeping car, selling his patents to Senator Wagner. HiB last work was on the safety car, to facilitate escape from trains in case of fire or accident.

The Tilden literary bureau has taken a fresh start in New York, and the democratic papers are full of his praise, presenting him as the most available leader for the party in 1884. As the ancient Samuel has- retired from politics to devote his attention to architecture, of course this unwarranted use of his name by over zealous friends must cause him much uneasiness.

Governors will be elected in the following states this year: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massa chueetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Twelve of them now have republican governors, and the remainder are demo cratic.

The republican ticket for this township is composed of good substantial meo.each one of whom is in every respect qualified for the position to which he aspires. Personally no objection can be found to any of them, and no good republican can certainly. find any objection to supporting the ticket. A careful comparison of the various candidates will result favorably to the republican ticket.

SELECTED KA71TITIE&.

Oeneos bulletin No. 278, uatler the above caption, has just bees is&ed. It shows the native and foreign boin population of Arkansas, Colorado, Connecti cut^Dakoti£ Idaho, Nevada New HampBhire..and South Carolina, distributed according to place of birth. The figures show that the proportion of the foreign population thaft goes to the south is verj small, and that jhe largest number of them go to the far west.

Out of a total population of 802,525, Arkansas contains only 10,350 foreigners, and of the number born within the State 312,739 are whiles and 123,938 are colored, 'while of the number born in other states only 51,526 come from northetn states. Colorado has a total population of 194,327, ol whom 154,53? are natives, and 59,790 foreign born. Only 25,764 were born in the Blate, gJConocciicot bsa a population of 822,700, of whom 492,708 are natives, and 129,992 foreigners. There were 391,087 whites born within the state. Of the native contributions from other states New York heads the list, atid Ireland furnishes nearly five times as many of the foreigners as any offeer country, and China is not represented at all,

Dakota has a total population of 135,177, of whom 83,382 are natives and 51,795 foreigners. There were born in the territory 16,610 whites and 1,177 colored Wisconsin furnUhes more of the fiative born population than any other state, aod Indiana less. China leads the foreigners with 3,336, and Scotland winds lip the list with 253.

Idaho has a total population oi 32,610, of whom 22,636 are natives and 9,974 foreigners. There were born in the state 5,842 whites and 150 colored. The largest from another stRte is 3,205 from Utah. John Chinaman leads the foreigners again with 3,366 and England stands next, wbile Scotland is at the foot of the list.

Nevada has 36,613 natives and 25,653 foreigners in a total of 62,266. Of the number bort in the state 10,738 are white and 2 994 colored. China has 5,402 representatives and Ireland about 200 lees, while France is at the foot of the list.

New Hampshire has 300,697 native and 46,294 foreigners. Canada furnishes over 25,000 of he foreigners and Ireland over 13,000. Of the natives 242,337 whites and 420 colored write born in the state.

South Carolina has a total of 363,577, and of that number only 7,686 are foreigners. Of the number born within the

363,557 are white and 588,818

are colored. Of the remainder of the natives all hail $£om southern states except 2,589. Germany furnishes 2,846 and Ireland 2,626 of the foreigners.

Ia the states and territories included in the table are to be found Indianians as follows:

Arkansas, none -Colorado, 5,231 Connecticut, none Dakota, 1,669 Idaho, 576 Nevada, none New Hampshire, none and and none in South Carolina.

The republican party of this state is not committed to prohibition, assertions to the contrary notwithstanding, but it does stand committed to the old time-honored principle of free government, that the just powers are derived from the consent of the governed. This is wliat the demooracy claim to have been fighting for cince they sprung into existence, bat this year in this state they have turned looee their guns upon it in the most lively, manner. They are either afraid of the people, or think the people should haveneither right or voice in questions of importance. They are cowards in regard to the attitude they have assumed on the amendments, and dare not advocate the principles fbr which they have always contended. They fear majority rule. When principles cease to serve party purposes the democracy have no further use tor them.

ANew York special has this to say of the new Russian minister to this country:

M. Dc Struve, the new Russian minister, is expected in ibis country this week. He is coming from Japan, and his credentials are to be sent to him from St. Petersburg by maiL M. De 8truve is about 15 years old. He is a son of the late renowned astronomer Struve, formerly director of the Pulkoo observatory. M. De Struve was educated at the St. Petersburg university. At an early age he entered the Asiatic department of the foreign office. Afterward he served in the capacity of a diplomatic attache in the office of the governor of Turkestan. Then he was appointed minister plenipotentiary to Japan. He is a married man, and has several children. His wife was a Mies Annenkoff, a member of one of the most aristocratic families in Sussia. The newBussian minister and bis party—fouiteen persons all told—will travel in a palace car from San Francisco to Washington, where he will afrive at the beginning of next week.

Universal intefeat should be manifested in the election next Monday. If anything like a full vote is polled it will be a good indication of the strength of the two parties. The April election is but the preliminary skirmish to the general engagement next fall. The party displaying the greatest strength will gain a decided advantage, which will go far towards carrying the' state in the fall. Republican apathy' always endangers success in an off year. Many fail to vote, while the democrat can be depended upon to be at the polls on every occasion. This year the democracy will make a desperate effort to carry the state, and for that reason, together with local considerations, every republican should be] at the polls next Monday aud vote his ticket straight.

Vermont has the champion office holder. He has been justice of the peace, representative, speaker of the house, postmaster, mayor, bank examiner, quartermaster general, court auditor, school eupsrintendent and member of the board of education. As he is only sixty-nine years old and of strong constitution he is still in the hands of his friends.

Captain Thomas H. French, of the 7th U. S, cavalry, died at Leavenworth, Kansas, on Thursday night. He took part in the Custer fight, receiving several wounds, necessitating his retirement. He was considered the best pistol shot in the army.

Tho democrats know they have no chance of success on Monday unless they can secure republican votes. This should put every republican on his guard and prevent him from exchanging votes or scratching his ticket.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

We rcpublish,4o-day from a Cleveland Daper a petition to the CdBncfl of that city, signed three hundred wealthy and prominent business in en and estate owners, asking the extension of tfce Use of the Brush electric light in Cleveland. This petition shews that the mast-lights recently introduced there are doing effective work_at the home of the Brush company. If there is real iiierit in'this Bya--tem, this result was to have been expectedpj

especially while the apparatus is new. end, as it were, on its good behavior. That the electric light ia the light of the future we have no xloubt. It more nearly resembles natural light than any other artificial light that has ever been used, but wherever it has come under the observation of the waiter there is a lack of steadiness about it that is objactionable. The darkness of the shadows—the sharp contrast between light and shade— the lack of a penumbra, are also com' plained of. Whether these imperfections are inherent in the electric light, or only the fault of this particular sys tem, f* is important «Question that has not yet been satisfactorily answered. The throwing out of sparks from the lights used in hotels and other public places is a great annoyanceif not positively dangerous, while there is said to be p9rii in the transmission of the ielectric current. Experience will no doubt lessen these defects and probably altogether obviate them. 'S#

The Edison light has very recently been introduced in the Congressional Record oomposing room of the Government Printing Office, and is said to work admirably. The light is Steady, of. wonderful brilliancy, and devoid of the great heat arising from gas, which in warm weather was very Irving to the compositors, proof readers and other employes, This illuminator is well spoken of by those who have closely observed it, and ia said to be greatly superior to any other, but its UFC in the place mentioned is merely experimental. Should it be es* tirely satisfactory it may be used in other departments of the vast establishment referred to.

The conclusion ,to be drawn from the foregoing is that the electric light is yet in its experimental tt.iges, and should not be hastily adopted on a large rcale, and on contracts running a long time. It is much better for citieB and towrs to get along with gas or even coal oil for awhile as they have bten doing for many years, than to make hasty and ccBtly contracts for the lightiing of streets and public places by electricity. At the earue time, in view of the fact that other people are experimenting for our benefit, and that inventors end scientists are at work in perfecting the electric light, it is well to go tlowly in the exteciion cf the gas sys* tem in this .city. .The season of short nights is before us, and even if ~we should have to go through another winter of gas and discontent, it Would be no killing matter.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY NEW. A Washington special thus speaks of Hon. John C. New, assistant secretary of the Treasury. "John C. New is giving great satisfaction in his office. His thorough acquaintance with the details of Treasury work enabled him to fake full hold from the day he entered upon his duties. His wide acquaintance with public men also facilitates intercourse with the department. The office he holds is more prominent on8ccountof his filling it."

Mr. New has a very laborious and responsible position, but is already master of the situation. Secretary Folger gives him large powers in the disposition of appointments, which he exercises with great discretion and for the best interest of the public service. At the same time he does not lose eight of the welfare of the Republican psrty and the state of Indiana, to which he is so devotedly attached. Mr. New is easily approached at all hours, and puts on none of the airs that are affected so largely in Washington. T^he requests oi the poor and unfortunate are heard by him with attention and they are treated kindly. He maini&ics a cheerful and oourteous demeanor, and ith his promptness and thorough knowledge of public men and the businces of the treasury department it is. a pleasure to transact business with him. Internal Revenue Agent Trumbull of Indianapolis is detailed to assist Mr. NeW for a time, and together they make Indianians feel at home there.

Mr. New could have had the Russian miesion, but President Arthur desired him to take the place that be now holds, knowing his eminent fitness for an administrative position. The result vindicates the good judgment of the executive.

The Gazette is in error when it says that "the city and Harrison township as a whole have always been assessed too high, and when so returned by the assessor there was no remedy." The assessor's assessment is not final in any ease. The board of equalization meets in the month of June in each year to hear complaints of taxpayers, and if any assessment is found to be too high it can be reduced, or if too low it can be increased.

The bill for public buildings is said to have been so much overloaded that it will be impossible to secure its passage in the house. The buildings and their estimated cost, asked for by Indiana members, are as follows: Richmond—PoEtoffice. etc. $ 55,000 Fort Wayne—Government building. 100.000 Terre Haute—Pos'.office, etc 190,060 New Albany—Court heme, etc 75,000

Total $875,000

HKBVEY AND BABCOCK LUXATION. The EvansvilW papers publish details of the important'sUit now pending in the 'circuit court of that city,-wherein E. S. Babcock, Jt., and ethers are plaintiffs and R. G. Hervey is defendant, involving the control of the Indianapolis aod Evansville railroad. Considerable interest being felt here on the Subject, we summarize tbe proceedings ol yesterday, which contain the gist of the whole controversy. The Journal's account, in part, is as follows: "The entire day was consumed in reading affidavits', *ome of which were unusually lbng and Hilled with details which it wonld be impossible almost to summarize. Among the papers produced was a contract entered into by Hervey with P. Campbell for the construction of the whole line ol road aid for which Campbell was to receive pay in stocks and bond"* at a value below par. "E. S. Babcock's affidavit was read. He charged mismanagement of the affairs of the road by Hetvey, and that the company was bankrupt.. That the tow? path of the old c*nal was unfit for railroad purposes that the tools and other implements of the road had been lost or stolen that Hervey was without credit and utterly unable to build the road that of-the large number ot bonds hypothecated by Hervey the books showed that only about $67,000 had been paid out by Hervey in the interest of tha road. Babcock further charged that tbe contract between Hervey and. Campbell for the construction of the road was merely a contract fpr Hervey's benefit that Hervey himself was the real .contractor, "The defense introduced a large number of affidavits. M. M. De frees, Chas. Boyton and Horace Conky, all civil engineers, testified thatjthey were acquainted with the road bed of the Straight Line from this city to the O. & M, crossing, snd had inspected it recently, and that it was worth $15,000 per mile. Wm. A.. Ford, a contractor, testified to tho same value of the road bed. "The affidatvitsof the director* of the company, Charles Viele, Saml. Vickery, M. Mulhausen, John H. Roelker and others were read. They beoame directors by the assignment of stock to them by R. G. Hervey in obedience to the charter, which required that a majority of the directors should be residents of this- city. They had no pecuniary in terest in the road. They conferred full power to manage and control the affairs of the road on Hervey. Tho delay in completing the road was due to unforseen difficulties. They denied that they had been guilty of any undue negligence. So much as had been done by Hervey indicated completion of the road. The powers conferred on Hervey were not unusual where the president owned all the stock. "M. Henning, one of the trustees, mads oath that he had not exercised bis power to bring suit of foreclosure. He believed that such a step would prove destructive to the enterprise. He lutd seen nothing to warrant a chauge of management. Roach, his co trustee, united in this statement."

John E. Martin made affidavit that he had not tried to control any bonds of the road. Would have bought from Hervey with a view of completing the road. A number of creditors, representing more than half the floating debt, testified by affidavit thM they believed Hsrvey would have long since completed the road but for the stringescy of the money market. They believed Hervey could finish tbe road, and were willing to extend the time on their claims. Messrs Gsnis, Hull man, Hager and Cox of Terre Haute and Hugh Crea of Dacatur testified that they had known Philip Campbell for man? years, that his character was good and he was a man of energy and integrity. Phil Campbell testified that he hzd undertaken the contract in good faith and th& boods had been delivered to him in June last.

R. N. Hudson detailed by affidavit the sale of the canal bed to Mr- Hervey. E. S. Babcock had never made any proposition for the purchase of the property, and the deponent never offered it for sale for less money than that which Mr. Hervey.paid him—$110,000.

R. G. Hervey's affidavit was long, tbe substance being as followsHe charged that the Whole thing was a conspiracy to break the enterprise down. He charged that Babcock had tried to buy into the road, and bad consulted Mr. D. J. Macksy about it. BabcOck's letters to Hervey on the subject, in which he mentions having conferred with Mr. Mackey, and giving certain objections and suggestions of Mr. Mackey, were filed in evidence. The bonds that Babcock bought from Post, Martin and Company, had been pledgfll them for debt, and therefore, could not be legally bought excepting oy having Wen first advertised for sale. He therefore chargedthat Babcock's title was not good. He further charged that Babcock'#move was the culmination of a conspiracy, to break down bis enterprise. He introduced with his affidavit a number of letters from Babcock which are published by the Courier. They show the progress of the negotiations leading to Babcock's purchase of hypothecated bonds of the'road amounting to $300,000, and they also show that Messrs. Babcock and John E. Martin were both trying to get control of the I. & E. railroad, and were were working independently of ea'ch other.

The affidavit of David J. Mackey, president of the E. & T. H. railroad, was read, in which he said he had no knowledge of any conspiracy to frustrate the building of the I. & E. road. On the other hand, he was in favor of Mr. Hervey's building tha rogd, and friendly to the project. fiOther evidence was introduced, but the above is all we have room for. To-day arguments will begin. Asa Iglehart and C. A. DeBruler are attorneys for Babcock, and Joseph E. McDonald and Charles Denby for Hervey. It is a death struggle for Hervey, while Babcock being powerfully backed, will fight to the bitter end. The result will be looked for with anxiety here as well as elsewhere.

ILLINOIS MIDLAND.

D. H. CONKLIN APPOINTED RECEIVER. A telegram received last evening from Chicago informs us that D. H. Conklin, formerly superintendent of tbe Chicago, Pekin & Southwestern railway, was yesterday appointed receiver of the Illinois Midland railroad, It will be good news to the employes and patrons of the road and the public generally that a way iB thus opened for the resumption of operations on this road. There has been stop-

Eas

age and stagnation for some time which been very trying to all concerned. This new arrangement ban only be temporary, pending tbe final disposition of the road by tbe U. S. Court. It will be a happy day w.hen responsible parties get control, and it would be very fortunate if the road could be managed permanently by Terre Haute people.,

The lodiaiupoli* & St. Louis cotapany is building fifty dump caTs al the Mattcon shops which unload from the eide, and will' be used In distributing gravel along the line, ind for economy, will be hauled by local freight trains which chance to be running light. As gravel can be dumped from these car* in a few seconds, no serious, delay of tbe train is occasioned but the greater saving comes in with the loading, Roadmaster Henry having»made arrangements with parties to load tWSfceHBars at gravel-pits' at 64 cant6 per car. By this plan, it will be seen that a large saving is effected, and graveling iB carried on at a small expense to the company.

Edwin Walker, of Chicago, the attorney of the stockholders of tbe old Danville & VincenneB railroad, left for New York Thursday to have a conference with the Chicago & Eastern Illinois people, to see whether or not a compromise regarding tbe complications arising from the. recent decision cf. the United States Supreme court reversing tbe foreclosure decision of the old Danville & VincennH can be effected. If no such compromise oan be effected between the contracting parties, the matter will again have to go before the courts, and a long and expensive litigation will be the result.

The Great Electric right Petition. Obveland Evening News. March 27. The following is a copy of a petition to be .presented to the council this evening in favor of the electric light tn the place of gas for lighting our streets. The petition was signed by three hundred of our most wealthy and prominent business men and real estate owners, who probably pay about one-fifth of the entire taxes of the city. When heavy tax-payers favor the electric light for our streets, the moderate tax-payers who will receive equal benefit in this new mode of lighting, certainly ought not to object to its adoption. Since the city existed there has never been presented to the council Such a strong petition. The sample mast light on the square has grown in popularity every day, and the feeling ia universal in favor of the entire city being lighted by at least sixty masts, if not seventy-five. To the Honorable Mayor, the City Council and Board of Public Improvenents:

GENTLEMEN: We, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers of Cleveland, respectfully petition your honorable body to use your authority in favor of a more extended system of lighting the street* of the city by tbe use of the Brush electric light. Tbe superiority of this light over all others has been fully demonstrated, and is now universally -acknowledged. The city of Boston, after a careful test of several methods, has just ordered one hundred electric lights to be placed in tbe most densely used part of the citv. The city of New York is now

Ey

artialiy lighted with the electric light, a combination of the mast and post systems. The city of Albany has 350 lights is use and under contract, and it is a fact, tbe police force declare, that whenever these lights are in use crime de-creases.oae-half within their influence.. A large number of other cities are about adopting tbe light, and the demand for it is becoming universal on both sides cf the Atlantic.

In our city, the mast-light upon the Public-Square not only lights the Square and surroundings with a light greater than that of a full moon, but covers_ an area extending largely through Superior, Euclid and Ontario streets. When the mast at the foot of Superior street shall be .completed, about April 1 next, this space will be largely increaeed. Its superiority over any mode of lighting ever tried in our city is manifest to every disinterested person, and its brilliant success meets our unqualified approval.

We therefore respectfully request your honorable body to contract with the Brush Electric Light and Power Co. for the erection of other masts in such parts of the cityj as shall in your judgment be of the greatest eervice end we recom* mend the lighting of some cne or more important thoroughfares upon the post system of single lights, that the people may judge fairly in reference to tbe light. We are aware that the cost to the city shall be greater than by the present method with gas, but we think tbe time has come when our-city demands a better light, more of it, and that wise economy and public convenience require that the demand be gratified.

Hew York Aldermen Hot CongressmenThe New York Times has this", about their Boardhjf Aldermen, who, like .other similar bodies in other fiaris of the conn* try, meddled in matters that wen no' concern of theira: '"Phe New York Board of Aldermen has recalled Minister Lowell. Professing some lingering respect for the antiquated usages ot this and other governments in their dealings with fonigo countries, they make the President of the tJnited Sta'es the instrument for transmitting their wishes to our representative al the Court of St. James, instead of commnnicatfnfe directly with him. In respect to propriety, the board might as well vote to send at thv citv'a expense an -expedition in search of the.vq4gi8hed.temple of Golgqi, or order the King of Italy, under paifi of fine and (oapmobmfent in tBe Tomb?, to restore the Papal States, as to adopt such a resolution as that presented by Alderman Martin yesterday. But it is asking too much of a New York Alderman to require him to, understand these obsolescent niceties of. distinction between municipal and Federal powers of government. Upon topics which rise above the domain of bar-room disenssion the ideas of the sages of tbe City Hall are naturally somewhat misty."

Washington, STAR ROUTE CAMS.

WASHINGTON, Marcfcr81.—Col. Ihgereol this morning began the argument for the defendants in the star route cases on the motion to quash the indictments, llie motion, he said, was for the reasoi) that the indictment was hot found in accordance with the law, holding that the Btatute of Maryland of 1722 is still in force in the District of Columbia. Under this statute Ingersoll held that the grand jury must either find an indictment of their own knowledge or after a presentment by order of. the court. In this case he claimed tbe grand jury bad no jurisdiction.

Judge Wylie said the whole thing llinges on the question of whether the law of 1722 is still in force in the District if it is then the motion to qtiash must be sustained. Col. Ingersoll then continued tne argument to show that the law Spoken ot is still in forbe here.

It is expected that the debt statement to-morrow will show a reduction for March of about $16,000,000.

THE TERtmAN CLAIM.

At the meeting of the House on Foreign Affairs Chairman Williams said he had just received the following communication from Minister Hurlbut in regard to the ''Cochet Claim."

LIMA, PERU, Feb. 2fr, 1882.

My dear sir:—l shall probably leave this city for the United StateS early in April on leave of absence. In reference to the Cochet Claim which I understand is the foundation »f the Peruvian company, I desire to state for your information or for any committee of either House which may choose to examine it, the principal and controlling facts: First—Alexander Cochet was a French subject, lived as such snd died as such. Second—His supposed heir, his illegitimate sou, through whom the company claim title, was never legitimate, or at all events I have no evidence of it. Third—Coehet's rights, if any, descended to liis sisters "living in France. Fourth—Granting that Cochet had a claim and that it was properly transferred to "the company," still it was a Freuch claim, and the company having acquired nothing but a litigation is not within the protection of the United States, which, is only given for injuries and wrongs inflicted upon. American citizens. Fifth—There never was any law of Peru applicable to a case like that of CoGhet which gave one third to a discoverer. It is a grievous misconception. The law relates only to concealed property and was given after the suppression of convents to encourage the discovery of property belonging to such convents hidden and concealed. Sixth— Cocket himself, in his lifetime, never made any such claim. Seventh— The whole question is "res adjudieata.'''' The claim 01 Cochet was presented in '61 before a mixed "commission of Peruvian and French citizens appointed under a convention for that purpose. That com* mission examined tnto the ease and decided adversely to the Cochet claims. Thin decision is in public record in tne French legation and Peruvian archives. I give you these statements in case there shall be an examination before 1 return.
