graph, etc., and to receive part of the Customs revenue, etc. Practically this grant sui'renders Peru to this syndicate. This contract is to be ratified yet by the Peruvian Senate, but as the President of Peru is said to be interested in the plan with all of the leading Government officials, it is represented here in London that there is not the slightest question about its being carried through.

The consideration to be paid by the syndicate for these enormous conces sions is £10,000,000, to be raised by the Grace combination from the public through the sale of bonds. The English holders of Peruvian bonds who are in the Grace syndi cate also agree in further consideration to cancel one-half of the old debt, amounting to £30,000,000 ; and it is further understood that the English bondholders of the uncan celled half seek to secure the aid of the English Government to compel Chili to surrender enough of the cap tured provinces to guarantee the pay ment of the uncancelled half of the debt. It has been represented tp high English officials that the action of Chile in capturing the guano provinces was so opposed to English interests ag to war rant a demand from them, securing the in terest of the English bondholders. They say that England's action in Egypt war rants her taking similar action against Chili. The English officials are further tempted with the prospect of gaining Peru for an English colony. There are so many millions involved in this scheme that a number of powerful English influences have been secured to force Government action in favour of the syndicate's plan. If they can get anything in that direction the new loan will be floated and the plan for making Peru an English colony will then be pushed along.

American Opposition. The United States press professes to be alarmed at the prospect opened up by the above news. The " San Francisco Chroni cle " says : ■ — ''It needs no wizard to tell what England's course will be toward Peru if this loan is effected in accordance with Grace's plan. It would be almost no time afc all before there would be an army of occupation in Peru to look after the interests of British subjects, just as there is in Egypt to - day : and Peru, in its present condition, enfeebled by the Chilean war and with a bankrupt treasury, would be quite unable to offer even a show of resisterice. The obvious re sult would be that Peru would become an outlying province of Great Britain and the British authority would be supreme. But if such a daring scheme is attempted to be carried out, Eugland will find two nations that will not protest but be ready to enforce their objections. Chili and the United States. Chili will surely not con sent to see her next-door neighbour fall under the domination of so powerful a nation as Great Britain, more especially as it would involve a surrender of the three guano provinces seized from Peru during the recent \var. Chili would not dare to Jcansent to a peaceable occupation of Peru by Great Britain, as their interests would certainly conflict. As to the United States, if the Monroe doctrine means anything, it tnus,t mean that we can not and will not consent to see a South American re.pu.blic. coflyeVted into' a dependency of preafe Britain. England may lend 'Peru money, and may enforce the claims of her citizens against Peru,

bub that is all. The moment she attempts to repeat the Egyptian experiment, that moment the United Statea will not only protest, but will directly forbid/
