THE WATER SUPPLY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HoMuzona Tulagrare," SIR,-Notwithstanding your persistent and praisewortby efforts to stir the Water Authority and his subordinates to a full sense of their duties in connection with our water system, and the abundant fall of rain that has occurred, is it not too provoking that many houses in this neighbourhood should still be without water? Such is the case, however, and I am fully deter mined to take legal advice as to whether I can be forced to pay water rates for all the months I have been cut off. For the information of those concerned (and from them I demand full redress of this Imitating grievänce) I attack my address.

Yours, etc.,

He has sent agents to Peru to Inaugurate his campaign for the Pre- sidency. The election does not take place untit April, 1894, however, and it is believed that Pierola is really preparing to attack and over throw President Morales Bermudez before the expiration of his legal term. He is being closely watched here by detectives.

Although the election will not take place for more than a year the party fenders in Peru are already organising for the struggle. General Caceres is the official candidate to succeed Dr. Bermudez. Dr. Canevaro in the candidate of the Civilste party and Plerola is the man favored by the Democratic party, which has a better organization, but its leaders are waiting the coming of Pierola.

In exchange for this payment Chille will cede to Bolivia the Feruvian provinces of Tacna and Arica, but will retain possession of the provinces captured from Bolivis during
