Nothing is ;ore clear than that. If the present quar- :! goes beyond a certain not very distant ;c;nt, our own commercial interests will be i;riously menaced.

The Tonquin expedition does not I'-ind alone, and in dealing with it the world i net forget that it illustrates the recent L-ii of French policy. It coimects itself pi;h the inoessant attacks upon this coun- I'ryior no other offence than protecting its |:3"iou3 interests in Egypt, with the Mada- |.sscar expedition with French pretensions i the west coast of Africa, and with the l^ioua little asperities of the French For- spi crtice since the death of Gambetta. The Ifeh American Gazette, has just adminis- I'trsda severe and unlooked-for rebuke to ';s French which has depressed prices upon isost every European bourse. The irrita- -3 to which it bears witness can not be ex- Mined by the leason assigned, since the â- ench press has upon the whole observed rnany years past remarkable moderation -regard to (iermany. It is rather the ex- h'tssion of a general impatience of French 1 ::dact,which£eems to justify itself by alleg- (-2 an ill-ieeling toward Germany, of which ':ere has been no particular manifestation. |:u there Is a yet more important lesson to redrawn from that rather remarkable ad- Uinition. It ought to convince the French |;aple tnat their little expeditions up and •'n the world do not add in the smallest â- Wee to their consideration and influence I Europe.

They may make rliat expeditions they please, but so long as |i^« semi-official German press is permitted I* address them in such terms they are ""•liely reminded that they count tor very ^le in Europe.

Msr- i*no Ignaoio Prado's brief snmminB up of the condition of affairs in Pern, a Munfay of which he was twice elected preodaot. and from which lor the last thi^yMwhe has been an exile and a waaderw. He is pass- ing a few days in New York on his wayto i.arope. He has jnst arrived here from visits to several of the South American •tates. He was seen at the Stmrtevant House by a New York Herald reporter. The gen- eral 8 stock of English is extremely limited, though the few words that escaped him were spoken with excellent accent. The conversation which follows was had in Spanish. Gen. Prado is a man of medium height, of courteous yet stately presence. He does not look his 57 years. His voice and ad- dress are very pleasing, his face is intellect- ual, his eyes are dark with a settled sadness in them, yet they can gleam and light up with humor. His hah: is black, as is his beard, save for a fringe of the frost of time. His naanner of speaking is very deliberate, and without tiiat excess of gesture that often characteriz3s the men of the Latin races. When 'Jhili declared wer against Peru Gen. Prado wasthe Peruvian president. What he thought of the war, what he thmks of Chili, and what of the present situation- and prospects of peace will be found in the interview published below. His views are in many respects opposed to those that would pacs current here from the news re- ceived irom time to time. He is, however, for^ome weeks without mail or private ad- vices, and confessed that he could only pro- nounce upon the situation Irom previous knowledge. "The situation is fatal," was his response to the flist question. " Then there is no hope for Peru " " Apparently not." ' ' No hope of peace " "Chili is too exacting. She asks more of Pern than Germany asked of France after the Frsmco-German war. It is impossible to make peace on such terms." "What can Peru do?" " Go on as she has been going â€" keeping up a desultory warfare." " Did you hear of the Iglesias treaty " " Yes and he may sign the treaty but Iglesias is not Peru. He represents nothing but the Chilian interests. He is the crea- ture cf Chili, and has no following among the Peruvians. He may construct his cab- inets and all the rest of it, but that means nothing. The Peruvians would never accept the terms of such a treaty. Besides indem- nity in money. Chili wants Tarapaca, Arica, Tacna, and Moquegua. These provinces represent the wealth and commerce of Peru. Take them away and Peru dies of hunger." " Has Peru no resources outside of those provinces " ' ' None to speak of. To take them is to take ail, and Peru can not consent to give them up. It would be cquivilent to signing away her life." " Do you think Chili will be C3ntent with no less ?^' " It seems not.' "You were present when war was de- clared " " Yes." " Did you not anticipate war " " Never, We were at peace. We were friends, friends â€" Chili and Peru. The war was a complete surprise to the Peruvians. We had no armies and no armaments. But Chili was prepared for war and had been preparing for years." " Had been preparing for ytarp, and yet you suspeeted nothing " "Nothing." "What was Chili's purpose " "Just what she accompbshed â€" to crush Peru and seize upon its wealthiest provin- ces. "Who was the Chilian Bismarck to con- eeive this policy?' " No one man. It wa« a traditional policy handed down from president to president." " How and why did you leave Peru, gen- eral?" " After our first disasters I left, with the consent of congress, to come here and go to London, in order to raise resources with which to carry on the war. I was deputed by congress to do this. Behind me I left an established government, with Gen. La Puerta, the vice president in charge. In my absence Pierola created a revolution agamst me, seizedthe dictatorship, and the result you see." " Where is Pierola now "In Paris. But I have no relations of any kind with him. "Is not Chili anxious to make peace to relieve her armies and evacuate the soil V\ ' ' Yes she is anxious to evacuate, but with Peru in her pocket, by taking off the richest provinces." " Has Peru any chief at all " She has two â€" Iglesias, who represents the Chilian interest, and through whom the Chilians treat, and Calderon. who represents the feelings cf the people cf Peru." "Calderon is a prisoner in CbiU, u he not?" -J .. • "Yes, butMonter, the vice president, is left. His headquarters are at Arequipa, whither the Chuans have not yet reached. Montero represents the popular mterests. "AndCaceretr" .. u • "Caceres is a good general, but he is without proper equipments and resources. Yes he was beaten at Hnamachuco, but Mt so hopelessly as has been represented. He retreated, and has gathered his forces around him again. "K Herald dispatch repeats a story cur- rent in Lima that Admiral Lynch has otfered a safe conduct to Caceres." ••Ah, indeed. Well, Lynch may have done so; but one thing is very certam, Caceres wiU not accept his safe conduct. " What of Bolivia " " Bolivia sides with Peru, but not actively. It does nothing." j «. « • Does Peru look anywhere for aid r • • Nowhere. There was a time when she looked for and expected aid from the United States, and when she was ,givf» Jf "'»?"â-  stoid that such aid would be forthcommg, at least to procure more favorable conditions °^^u aUude to the Blaic-Hurlbut policy?" ••Yes. That hope failed at a tune when better conditions of peace could have been obtained. But now Pern can obtain no con- ditioaa at all. She la alxolatsly a* the mefcy of Chili" " Are not the Eoropeua the chief hddan of Pemviaii bondaf "Yes; the BogUsh. the Frawh, tiM Belgians, and a few in Chnnaaiiy and EljMun. Bat the powen do not cue to mterfeie and mix themselves np with matters on this con- tinent. The policy of tlie United Stntes stands in the way of sndi interferenoe." " Chili collects the revenue, does she not " " £ver thing is in her hands. The com- merce, business, and ^hole life of the country have suffered terribl] And yet the people continue to wwk and to live when and where they can." • " Would it not be better for them to niake peace at any price " " They can not make it at the price Chili setr. Tliat means death." " Suppose peace were made even on the worst oooditions, has Peru any statesmen who could help to build her up again " " She has men of capacity, but there would be nothing left for them to build up. The people could not Uve." •'â-  "Then what advice do you give your countrymen under the circumstances, gen- eral " " This," was the reply, with an emphasis approaching solemnity, " if die they ninst, let them die fighting to the last. It is better to die fighting than to starve. Chili pre- sents no other alternative." " Are they all good republicans in South America, general!" "Republicans, yes." " Then why can't they live at peace to- gether as we do up here Why are they always fighting?" The general laughed and shrugged his shoulders. "Ah that is their misfortune," he said. " What causes the constant revolutions?" " Who can say " " Do you think they may possibly have too many generals " Gen. Prado threw a keen glance at the reporter, smiled again, nodded his head, and said " Perhaps so too many generals." GIRNERJED WITTICISMS. Early English â€" baby talk. Brothers-in-law Lawyers.

When this daring and ambitious soldier was about to invade Russia, a person who had endeavored to dissuade him from his purpose, finding he could not prevail, quoted to him the proverb, " Man proposes, but God disposes," to which he indignantly re- plied, "1 dispose as well as propose." A Christian woman, on hearing the impious boast, remarked, " I set that down as the turning point of Bonaparte's fortunes. Uod will not suffer a creature with impunity thus to usurp his prerogative." It happened to Bonaparte just as it was predicted. His invasion of Russia was the commencement of his downfall. A Good Friend to tlie Chinese. San Fbascisco. â€" Consul A. F.
