The Chilean* In Peru. New York, April 6th.—Tne World, re- ferring to its Lima correspondence, asserts that the position of the Chileans in Peru is fullof peril. The guerrilla forces, if indeed they are not to be called the army, of Gen- 1 era! Caceres, can no longer be regarded with indifference by the Chilean garrison of Lima. A skirmish, from which the Chileans have not come off with advantage, occurred be- tween the outposts of Caceres and the Chile- ans three weeks ago, within three miles of the Peruvian capital. Meanwhile, a deadly epidemic, invited by the debauchery and recklessness of the Chileaa troops, has broken out among the garrisons on the coast. A single serious military disaster to the Chileans it is obvious would bring the Peruvians to arms all over the country, and the silly at- tempt which the Chilean Government is making to manufacture a pasteboard Peru- vian President out of discredited and insig- nificant Iglesiac, bears witness to the anxiety and disquiet, if not to the positive alarm, of the Chilean Government at the condition into which ithas allowed itself to be drawn by yielding to the extravagant and senseless rapacity of the worst element in Chilean society. The Central American State*. Chicago, April 6th.— S. A.

"You look for the confederation of the Cen'ral American Republics, do you not?" "We believe that is not far off. Presi- dent Barrio?, of Guatemala, looks upon such a confederation as the hope and aim of his life. When these republics are united as one natior, there is no daiger of patty strifes or domestic discord). I kave given the pn ject my warm and energetic support, and kn >w \u25a0 h r.-, promiuent in the several Central American republics, Till never weary until there is f jund a succewful issue." A Caae of MlapUeed Conlldence. New York, April 6;h. — A case which seems like an attempt to establish ehvery in this country under the Briti-h law, attracted considerable attention in tbe Jefferson Police Court yesterday. Tbe cause of tbe dispute was a 14-year- jld JHslsy, who bad been shipped while an infant with a load of coolies from Calcutta to British Guiana.

Since then he has been used as a servant by different people to whom he was lent by Mrs. Donnel.y. He finally was loaned to Mrs. Julia M_iore, managing a pri- vate school, aad when Mrs. Donnelly de- manded him back on the ground that he was her slave, an ieeus wai made in a Justice's Court, and the Justiiß sent the case to a higher tribunal and sent the child in the meantime to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

He was questioned this even- ing about tbe report that he had run away from Sun Antonio, leaving §12,000 of debts. He said the report was " a lie from top to bottom." "I left San Antonio," he said, "Saturday morning last, in the most open QULiier. At10 o'clock I was in Court, and I went from there directly to the train. Fully fifty persons to .whom I was personally known were on the train, and I did not leave it un- tilI reached Washington, where I stopped over a few hours, and then came on here.'' " Did you leave debts of §12,000 f " I do not owe §500 in Texas, all told, nor didI promise to meet any creditors on the afternoon of the day I left. No creditors asked me for pay. The story about my fe- male amanuensis'," Mr. Murray continued, "is absolutely false. I have been entirely alone for the two years and a half that I have been in Texas. I parsed the last month at tbe house of my lawyer. I came on hern alone. No man holds my note for §2,500. I never had a ranch in Texts, and never bred cattle there.

We see h.'m a poor, unlettered boy, in the wilds of New York, persecuted, opposed on everyhand. He organ; z;cl a church of six mem- bers in the backwoods of New York. From that nucleus a great church has arisen, that has attracted the attention of the civilized world. If Joseph Smith was not inspired by God Almighty, he was the most wonderful man in this century. We praise him and the work be performed." Rev. '/.. H. Gnrley made a short address. Speaking of the Utah Mormons, or Brigbam- itee, he said : " They are disseDters from the original Church. The people of Utah, men and women, have practiced the mean- est things that ever disgraced the world, and I am very sorry such a terrible thing as polygamy exists It is a curse black as Egyptian darkness. I do not take stock in anti-religion followers who do not live in the cation to obey its laws. I would rather have my child a rank infidel than a Utah M"rmoc, practicing polygamy. We tope the United States Government will draw a distinction between the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints and those latter day devils in Utah." ThH closed the after- noon service.

Chicago, April 0:h. — The closing game o* the tournament, to decide the world's cham pionßhip at the balk-line game, was played this evening to an audience which literally packed Central Music Hall to tbe doors. The players were Maurice Vignaux and Ja- cob Schaefer. The characteristic points of the gam- were nervousness on the part of both players, a fine rally toward the close by Schaefer, after Vignaux, through extreme nervousness, failed to profit by two or three good opportunities to win. So nervous, in- deed, was he, that he could not retain hij seat while his oppjneut was play- ing, but moved excitedly about, while perspiration stood out in great drops upon his forehead. Schaefer won the lead, and chose the black ball. He failed to count on the first stroke, and was followed by Vignaux with a run of 11. Then Schaefer gathered 38 on bis string. Vignaux made 4 in his second inning, leaving tbe balls in a bad p isition, and Scbaefer failed to count. The first point of special interest was by Vig- naux in his fifth inning, when, having con- quered for a time hi* nervousness in tbe previous innings, he ran 139. The game then stood : Schaefer 79, Vignaux 175. Bchaefer then took the ball?, and by the most brilliant play conceivable, including open and cloee carsms, around tbe table draws, masses and rail nursing, amarsed a total of 220 The call then stood : Schaefer 299, Vignaux 175. Tbe next notable p3rformance by Vig- naux was in the eighth inning, in which he counted 77, and in the twelfth, when he acored 109. Schaefer made small runs until the 17th, when he added 95 points by rapid play. The score then stood 448 to 423 iv S- h tefer'r* favor. In the eighteenth inning Vignaux made 68, and both began to show great nervousness, making small runs and niiwe?. la the last half of the twentieth inning, with the game standing 492 — a tie — Vignaux had the balls where he should have made the game easily ; but an over-careful play caused him to miss an easy stroke on the eighteenth shat. Scbaefer opened his twenty-first finning with 108 necessary to win the game. The balls were in a bad position, but tbe little man succeeded in making a c unit, and after a few shots got the bnlls together near the rail. From that point to the end of his play his achievements were most brilliant, defying description. Again pud. again the balls broke badly for him ; but he took every chsnes, however, and with more nerve in the face of trying circumstances brought tkem together again, and ran the game out amid great and deserved applaus%. Score: Schaefer— Total, 600: average, 28 12-21 ; highest run, 220. Vig. naugh— total, 509; average, 25 9 20; highest run, 139. Severe Storm In Arkannas.

At the session ofthe Near York Methodist Conference yester-day Rev. Dr. Buckley of the Christian Ad-cecate warned the members against confidencemen, as two brethern had already been de-ceived by these sharpers, and he gave a de-scription of the method of the bunko men."
The scoundrels described," he said,"

He has received invi-tations from various groups of InternationalWorkingmen's Associations in the largercities of the West to visit them and •i&keaddresses. It was said at Schwab's head-quarters tc-day that the Association has hada much more rapid growth since Mosi's arri-val than before, and that it has amuch betterand firmer organization. Most willvisit thePacific coast before returning.
News In Advance.Philadelphia, April 6th.—The Ledger's
New Yorkspecial says : A friend, who isposted in the sayings and doings of the Ni-hilist and Communist colony, mentions as acuriou* circumstance that the Frankfort dis-patches this morning, announcing that theKremlin at Mo-cow had been ruined, wasposted up in the wine cellars of Bleeckerstreet inFrench and German some hours be-fore it was published in the evening papers,or put on the news bulletins.

examiniug the condition of the United StatesTreasury are making rapid progress. Thebonds held to secure the circulationof nationalbanks, the bonds held as security for publicdeposits, and the bonds of the Irdian trustfund, have been counted, and found to agreewith the amount called for. All the oddsand ends have been closed up, and tbe worknow before the committee is a straight countof the sealed packages of reserve UnitedStates notes and bags ot siver coin.

Fireman Bartlettivas called, and the questions read to him. Idreply, the witness stated in (uhgtacce thatCollins was treated exactly the same an theother officers. The witness was of the opin-ion that the trip to Belun might have beeamade sooner, but it would have been at-tended with great Buffering, and be believedthat, taking all things into consideration,everything was done that could have beendene to rescue Da Long's party.
The Chilean* In Peru.New York, April 6th.—Tne World, re-
ferring to its Lima correspondence, assertsthat the position of the Chileans in Peru isfullof peril. The guerrilla forces, if indeedthey are not to be called the army, of Gen- 1era! Caceres, can no longer be regarded withindifference by the Chilean garrison of Lima.A skirmish, from which the Chileans havenot come off with advantage, occurred be-tween the outposts of Caceres and the Chile-ans three weeks ago, within three miles ofthe Peruvian capital. Meanwhile, a deadlyepidemic, invited by the debauchery andrecklessness of the Chileaa troops, has brokenout among the garrisons on the coast. Asingle serious militarydisaster to the Chileansit is obvious would bring the Peruvians toarms all over the country, and the silly at-tempt which the Chilean Government ismaking to manufacture a pasteboard Peru-vian President out of discredited and insig-nificant Iglesiac, bears witness to the anxietyand disquiet, if not to the positive alarm, ofthe Chilean Government at the condition intowhichithas allowed itself to be drawn byyielding to the extravagant and senselessrapacity of the worst element in Chileansociety.
The Central American State*.Chicago, April 6th.—S. A. Batres, Envoy

"You look for the confederation of theCen'ral American Republics, do you not?"
"We believe that is not far off. Presi-dent Barrio?, of Guatemala, looks upon sucha confederation as the hope and aim of hislife. When these republics are united as one
natior, there is no daiger of patty strifes ordomestic discord). Ikave given the pn jectmy warm and energetic support, and kn >w

THE CLOSING GAME.
Chicago, April0:h.—
The closing game o*the tournament, to decide the world's championßhip at the balk-line game, was playedthis evening to an audience which literallypacked Central Music Hall to tbe doors.The players were Maurice Vignaux and Ja-cob Schaefer. The characteristic points ofthe gam- were nervousness on the part ofboth players, a fine rally toward the close bySchaefer, after Vignaux, through extremenervousness, failed to profit by two or threegood opportunities to win. So nervous, in-deed, was he, that he could not retainhij seat while his oppjneut was play-ing, but moved excitedly about, whileperspiration stood out in great dropsupon his forehead. Schaefer won thelead, and chose the black ball. He failedto count on the first stroke, and was followedby Vignaux witha run of11. Then Schaefergathered 38 on bis string. Vignaux made 4in his second inning, leaving tbe balls in abad p isition, and Scbaefer failed to count.The first point of special interest was by Vig-naux in his fifth inning, when, having con-quered for a time hi* nervousness in tbeprevious innings, he ran 139. The game thenstood :Schaefer 79, Vignaux 175. Bchaeferthen took the ball?, and by the most brilliantplay conceivable, including open and cloeecarsms, around tbe table draws, masses andrail nursing, amarsed a total of 220 Thecall then stood : Schaefer 299, Vignaux175. Tbe next notable p3rformance by Vig-naux was in the eighth inning, in which hecounted 77, and in the twelfth, when heacored 109. Schaefer made small runs untilthe 17th, when he added 95 points by rapidplay. The score then stood 448 to 423 ivS- h tefer'r* favor. In the eighteenth inningVignaux made 68, and both began to showgreat nervousness, making small runs andniiwe?. la the last half of the twentiethinning, with the game standing 492
