The Plnttsinoiith Sensation. 1'LATTSMoUTii , Neb. , May 17. [ Special Telegram to tlio Bnn. ] Lost night's shoot ing scrape is the absorbing topic at present. At least a dozen witnesses testify that the shooting was unjustifiable , as the wounded mail hud done nothing which would warrant such an attack. The fooling of the com muulty is strong against the Plnkerton men , Who nave been making themselves as offon- slyo ns possible since they have been in the cityThe The Plnkerton who did the shooting has not been found. There are several theories as to his whereabouts but It is rather certain that ho escaped from the hotel nnd left the City during the nicht. The Pinkertons re- Tuso'to say anything in defense of their com rade except that ho was knocked down be fore bo commenced shooting. Their story is contradicted by reliable witnesses.

[ Now York Hornld Cnblo Special to Tun BEK. | The Peruvian Landholders' association , or which Sir Henry W. Tyler In chairman , nro nt length Iti good spirits over the finality of the arrangement recently made by which they nro to get sorao payment. For details I was referred by seine of them to Mr. W. W. Grace , who is a brother of Messrs. William H. and Michael P. Graco. On seeing him at his residence In Holnrul park ho referred mo to an eminent solicitor , Mr. Gerald Augustus Ollanl , legal advisor to the bondholders. I found Mr. Ollard in his olUco in that Nassau street or sort of legal region of London known as Bedford Kow , Holborn. Ho very freely said : "Tho Peruvian bondholders represented by the committee in London liiwo claims against the Chilian gov- cruicnt in respect to certain properties con- talncd in deposits of nitrate , which wcro conceded - ceded by Peru to Chill in the treaty of peace ut the tcrmliiatlou of the leccnt war. These claims hnvo been taken up and sup ported by the English government , and Mr. W. U. Gruco was very anxious while on a re cent visit hero to see the whole matter set tled. In regard to Peru and Chill , however , ho had now made proposals , the nature of which Is not yet fully known | to the English government. The purport of these propo sals is expected to bo known in London about the end of this month ; this Is where the mis taken idea originates that the thing 'hangs flro. ' I may toll you that the settlement will take the form of payment in Chilian bonds. "Is there any- contract yet drawn up between the cominittoo of bondholders and the Peruvian govcrnmcntl" "Oh yes , last year a contract was en tered into between the committee and the Peruvian government for the set tlement of the Peruvian liability as to the external debt. That contract was called the Grace contracton account of the part ho took in bringing it about. You see by a copy of the contract I now hand you that it provides for working a number of railways and for opening Peru generally. That contract , however , was not submitted to the last Peruvian congress , owing to cer tain objections made by the Chilian govern ment. Fortunately for all concerned these objections Imvo now been overcome through the exertions of thoj iglish government ; so that the contract isj expected to bo brought before the Pcruviancongrcss , in its existing form , when it meets in July next. " "But you will waut a lot of money to carry this out ) " , "Very likely , but I . , bollovo the necessary financial arrangements ore substantially completed In London.1 A syndicate of com mercial gentlemen , composed of bankers and merchants , ore reqijy to back us with any amount , and so the lilTalr Is on the high road to success. Yes , it iii Ml but settled. Wo have now only to 'got the sanction of the Peruvian congress. , Qur committee of bond holders consists of Sif. Henry Tyler , George H. Hopkinson , bankers , Frederick Santleg Hammaclr , formerljj Chilian consul , Colonel Sir Alfred Kirby , Colonel J. T. North , Mr. John Proctor , and Earl Donoughmoro. The Peruvian debt , you must know , amounts to about 55,000,000. The railways arc ex pected to yield from JESO.OOO to 85,000 n year. The customs duties yield 120,000. The guano yields from 100,000 to 150,000. At the completion of the settlement the bond holders will receive from Kto 1 percent. " He exhibited a copy of the contract , which lias been modified sincoit was first prepared and executed on May 10 , 18b7. It seems that Peru assigns to the Grace syndicate its rights to work its silver , coal , cinnabar and other mineral mines ana guano , with participation in the profits , such working to continue for a long scries of years. The syndicate is author ized to construct quays or wharves , and is to have free use of existing quays of the rail ways. which arc ten in number. It also authorizes the construction of high roads in all departments in the Peruvian republic. To further commerce in cocoa , coffee , wheat , maize , alcohol , hark , wool , cotton and tim ber , nud to work all the mines. The government - ment give the commltteo 1,800,000 hectares of laud for colonization purposes uncl in various departments the right to export guano discovered or to bo discovered. The bondholders Imvo the right to crcato mortgages on all concessions not to cxceod 0,000,000 ; the right to relieve a percentage on all custom house dues and the right to establish a bank at Lima on the part of the bondholders. Tbey agree to provide free passes on all railways for Peruvian officials , soldiers to bo transported at half rate , and to glvo the government free telegraph and mnl [ services. Whatever the ooilimlttco may im port shall bo free and the syndicate is ab solved from all taxes. The contract occu pies 100 pages of legal manuscript. I was subsequently referred to Mr. Joseph Nelson us knowing much more about this syndicate. I found him nt the National Liberal club. Ho deserves - serves his reputation. Ho has probably forgotten more about guano than most men will ever know. "Yes , " ho said , "I can toll you nil about this Gruco syndicate , I ought to bo posted on the subject after nil the attention I have given to it during the last twenty years. Within a few days an agreement lias been concluded and signed in Chili between the Chilian govern tncr.t und Mr. H. Frazer , British - ish minister to Chlfi. ' Tlio Peruvian bond holders were represented by Michael P. Grace , brother of vo.fc-Ma.vor William H. Grace , and by Gerald * A. Ollard , while the Peruvian minister of. finance looked after the Interests of his counlr It is Impossible to know the prcciso tcsnv until tlio arrival of the mails , about tub Stth of this month , However , I have iustdti information on the subject and am abloWj ! assure you that the terms of the contract arc substantially as follows : First , thowuonay now tied up In the Dank of England1 , about 500,000 , will bo divided among the P ruvlan bondholders ; second , these bondhfjljiprs will bo given en tire control of the guu'no beds , they paying therefor to the Chilldn government n royalty of twenty shillings ( ovWy about ? 5) ) per ton ; third , the Chilian government consents to the proposed Grace contract with Peru on condition that she bo required to us- sumo no part of Peru's indebtedness. Now as to the several clauses of this agree ment , the 100,000 referred to comes from the proceeds of guuno sales made by Chili smco the conclusion of peace with Peru. In the treaty made oftin1 the war in 1879 Chill agreed , lu view of the fact that she had taken from Peru all her guano lands , to pay to the Peruvian bondholders 50 per cent of the amounts received for the guuno discovered up to that timo. The money Jias- remained tied up on account of conllicttng claims , among the bondholders. It IB piobnble that the Dreyfus claim will be sot aside as to the soe- oud clauso. Chili may well concede the guano beds under suc.l : conditions. She has mndo enough out ofPeru already. Tlio fiip. ; > ly of guano is becoming exhausted , ana it has always been nn annoyance to her. The con quered prbvincc of Tnrapaca , whcro the guano HM , brings Chill a greater rovcnuo from lit wealth of nitrates , on which she has only to collect an export duty , than from all Its guano. You mint rise very curly to get the best of n Chilian. The Genoese have n worhl-wldo reputation for being close-fisted , but I will back a Chilian against one of them. Then In regard to the clauso. You remember that when the Grace contract wns proposed last year , Chili refused her consent , partly because , she says , that in making such an agreement Peru was practically renouncing her au tonomy ns n nation , nhd principally because she ( Chili ) was required to assume one-half of Peru's Indebtedness. Now that the con tract has been modified so ns not to Inter fere with Chill's purao strings , wo see how .much slid really cared about the nutonomr of her sister nation. So wo may consider the matter as settled. In n few days the association of bondholders will have ceased to exist. They will ex change tholr bonds for shares In this now company , \vhlch will borrow capital to develop the mines , lands and railways of Peru ns wcll'as the guano In Chili. It is n collossal enterprise and a great , deal of inonov will undoubtedly bo made out of It. Peru has the richest silver mines in the world and in general underground resources. In her past oho has been much more dinned ngalnst-thnn sinning , and when n bankrupt falls into .tho hands of usurers ho must expect to bo plundered. It is the same way with nntlons. In the discovery of gunno Peru thought she saw a way out of her difficulties. First she sold the right of exploration to Anthony Qibbs , who made an immense fortune out of it. Others , seeing the possibilities of this now industry , began scheming to got the control away from Gibbs. Wholesale bribery among the Peru vian ofllclals was the consequence. Thomas Bernard & Co. took Glbbs' place. Then Drcifus , who had been keeping u common store In Lima , by similar methods superceded - ceded Bernard & Co. In Ins turn ho had to. give way to the Poruvlan-Guano company. Each change of contract increased the de moralization among Peruvians until in the end gualio , instead of being a blessing , has proved a curse to the country. " American Girl Wedded in Paris.

Street Lighting. Ono of the drawbacks to South Omaha is the darkness of its streets at night , and both the old and new council have struggled to overcome the difficulty. Various gas com panies made various propositions , but as a general thing they wanted all kinds of privi leges for a poor kind of gas. Con sequently they got nothing , and now the council is discussing the advisability of buymp an electric lightplnnt of their own. This would enable them to have the streets lighted for nothing , mid nt the same time would bring in a revenue to the city from the lights furnished merchants and others , who uro now clamoring for them. In all probability the city willno asked to vote on the issuing of $5,000 or $0,000 worth of bonds for the purpose , and in all probability they will vote "yes. " Notes About the City.
