The Credit IndustrfeI-Mr. Blaine's Com nection With the COncern-Anothe h Da y With the Foreign Affairs Committee. WASHINGTON, June 13.-Mr. Blaine ap- peared before the Foreign Affairs committee agaln this morning. He seemed in good health. He stopped in Washington just long enough to give the additional testimony, and went to New York this afternoon on railroad business. AS before, Mir. Blaine's testimony was given in speech of about an hours length, preceded by few questions and in corrupted by none. At times he was very earnest, notably when insisting that the Uni ted States was big enough to take any part excepting that of 'dog in the manger' in re- lation to South American matters. Chair man Williams called Mir. Blaine's attention to passages in the printed testimony of MT Robert B. Randall relative to the Credit In dustriel. MT. Blaine said he had no reason to believe that Mir. Randall would intention ally misrepresent, but no such conversations as Randall had testified to had ever taken place. MT. Blaine detailed his interviews with Count de Montferrand, in which the latter distinctly states that the Credit In dustriel proposed to furnish the money to pay the indemnity which might be demanded of Peru by Chili and to satisfy the bondholders of Peru, provided the United States would accord protectorate which should guarantee to the company the undisputed right to ship from Peru the products of the guano and nj trate beds for term of years. ''This," " said Mir. Blaine twas the plan of the Credit h. dustriel. I don't think it has ever been fully @0l &IN AIDo I'd States or by the newspapers which have been continually complaining that thwart. ed the plans of the company Mir. Blaine also read letter addressed to Mir. Evarts, and signed by Count de Montferrand and Suarez in which the plans of the compa- ny were plainly stated, namely, to pay an in demnity of e550, 900 sterling per annum for a term of years, and also the bondholders of Peru, whose claims amounted to e45, ,OOO, GOO sterling. These bonds, said Mir. Blaine were held by citizens of Holland Belgium, France and England, and this idea of protectorate was always advanced in connection with the purposes of the Credit Industrial company. He never gave any encouragement to the Credit Industrial, because it was preposter- ous for the United States to stand behind a French company independent of this govern ment, and secure millions for foreign bond. holders while deriving no benefit itself. Yet be had many interviews with Demontfer- rand, Suarez and Randall. He regarded the Industrial as a respectable concern, possibly able to furnish Peru with 8 war indemnity in a way the United States might not oppose. But he positively refused to recognize the company even by acknowledging the receipt of it's communica- tions. He recommended an investigation of the job which proposed an annual appropria- ton of $50, GOO to an American cable com pany from Lima to Panama But for the revo- cation of Trescott's instructions, Chili and Peru would be now at peace. MT. St. John, the British minister, had circu- lated the bogus treaty telegraphed on here. He f1atly contradicted other of Mir. Randalls statements. In closing MT. Blaine said There is one other point in my previous testimony upon which desire to make cor rection. I appear to have spoken of the dirty Democratic press I should have said the dirty portion of the Democratic press, because all the better clements of the Demo- cratic press, in discussing this subject, have taken high and patriotic grounds. If I had said the dirty portion of the Democratic press and the dirty portion of the Republi can press, I should have expressed myself correctly. and I now desire to put that senti- ment on record"
 The committee adjourned till 10 o'clock tomorrow, when MT. Prescott will be exam ined.
