WASHINGTON, May 3O,-DIstrlct Al.
torney Bliss was before the
Congressional Subcommittee ON
the Administration OF the
Department OF Justice, aud In
the course OF his examination a form.
al discussion took place In which
charges against Speaker Kerr were
referred to by Bliss. On being ques-
toned by Caulheld, Bliss said he was
supposed to be mainly responsible for
Harney's appearance In Washington
~ witness. lie BLISS had known
facts IN the possession of Harvey for
about two months, He had COM
munlcated thom to Bass, member Of
the committee, Harvey was APP.
praiser Darling's right hand man.
When DaIlings connection with the
Third Avenue Savings Band was un-
der investigation, an effort was made
10 stop the investigation by threats
that II Hsrney's connection with the
affairs OF the bank was exposed, he
would make some damaging reyela-
tons about Kerr. Bass said that Bliss
had told him that he would not pre-
sent any charges against Kerr, unless
they seemed to be well founded, and
that he Bliss had carefully question:
ed Harvey In regard to his relations
with Kerr.
The understanding ~ that all the re-
cent Cabinet changes VIII take practic.
u! effect from the first of June Came
ron is expected to take charge Of the
War Department on the first OF the
coming month. Judge Pierrepontwill
leave for England on the 22j OF June.
The opinion Is expressed that the
Belknap impeachment trial viii be
postponed until November next, when
the Senate will reassemble for that
special purpose. IL is probable the
trial will continue six weeks or two
months. TO go OH with 1t now would
prolong the session of Congress until
the latter part of August or the first OF
September, as In addition to the time
consumed by the trial, q month or ak
weeks will DO required to finish up tn,
absolutely necessary legislative bust
ness Of passing annual appropriation
bills. Grave doubts are expressed b,
many whether, In view ofthe fact tina
less than two-thirds OF the Senate hav,
voted in favor OF Jurisdiction, there i
anything TO be gained by proceeding
with the trial at all. Very eminent
legal authorities, who have no connec

twenty.nine Senators who yesterda,
voted against taking jurisdiction will
not be precluded by the Senates actio
from voting not guilty ON the jurisdi'
tionaI ground when the final issue

BLAINE RISES.

WASHINGTON, June Din the house
to-day, Mr.. Blaine, rising TO a question
of privilege, proceeded 20 address the
house on the subject of the investigation
into the Union Pacific and Northern Pa
citic transactions in which his name had
become involved. lie read the resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. TarboX on which the
inquiry as to the connection of the
Union Pacific railroad with the bonds of
the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad
was commenced. The author OF that
| resolution had ut the time disclaimed any
particular allusion To him (Blaine)-a
disclamcd which he (Blaine) regarded at
| the time with some little increGulity.
| Ii soon became entirely obvious that the
resolution was solely and only aimed at
| him, aud that the Union Pacific matter
| or any other incident TO the investiga-
| ton was secondary insignificant, and un-
| important, and he did not complain OF
that. He was ready 10 meet it. The
gentleman on whom the statement OF
| accusation rested (Mr. liarrison) had
been the first man called and had stated
| what he knew from rumor. Then
| Rollins. Morton, Willard and Il a.
| Scott were examined, and their testimony
| was complete and conclusive in disproot
L
| whatever with the transaction. lie had
| expected to have an early report from
| the committee, but it had been prolonged
and prolonged and prolonged, and he
| had been somewhat surprised last week
| at being told that the committee would
| then turn to investigate the transactions
| of the Northern Pacific railroad company
| ona newspaper report that there had
| been some effort on his part with friend
! in Boston to procure for him some shares
| in that company (Which effort had proved
aboriivel. lie had asked the gentleman
from Virginia, the chairman of the sub
| committee (llunton), under what author
| ity he proposed to make that investiga,
| ton, and had been told that the author
, ity was resolution offered by Mr.. Lut
| trell on the 3lst OF January. He thought
| that that gentleman U.uttrell) would be
surprised 10 find out that the first they
| d;l under that resolution was to bring
| their whole force to bear on little tran
saction In Boston which had proved
| never to be a transaction at all. That in
| vesligation was begun and three witness
had testified just precisely as the
| circumstances were. lie had no sooner
| got through with that than in another
| part of the capitol, without the slightest
notice or warning to him, the committed
on real-estate pool had entered on an IN
yestigation specifically aimed at him, so
that there were three Investigations 60
ing on at the same time wi!hsut any OF
them completed. lie understood that
the gentlemen IRON Virginia Qiunton)
proposed this morning still another en-
qulry about the Kansas Pacific railroad
company, transaction which was fifteen
| wears old even If IL existed and this WAS
also aimed at him. Now lac would say
and say II boldly that under these gen
eral powers to Investigate specific rail-
