tending. such support, Mr.. Blaine SAYS he
followed precedents laid down by our most
distinguished and conservative secretaries
OF state, As an illustration, he refers to
the steady influence exertod by Mr.. Sew
ard to re-establish the authority of .Jaurez
IN Mexico. BY the moral power of tho
United States the French were expelled
MAMMALIAN overthrown and the .epubli-
can government, with Juarez at its head,
restored. II would not, he says, require
US great an eNertion of moral influence of
the United States TO save Peru from do
struction, and make Peru and Chill both
our friends, as u did to save the nationality
OF Mexico, When the Chilians have taker
ali the valuable property of Peru, the latte,
country will either fall into anarchy or be
kept IN suolection by Chilian army of oc
eupation, to be supported from the property
OF winch Peru is despoiled. Either result.

English influence in both Peru and Chill.

criminal court this morning the corrt fixed
upon Friday next as the day for hearing
arguments upon the motion for new trial
Tor Guiteau. Scoville called attention to
the fact that one of the atlidavits in support
OF the motion had annexed to il n copv Of
the Critic The allegation was that during
the trial the paper had been read by NO
jury, IL bore on the margin what pur-
ported to be the signatures of
iour Jurors. This said Mr..
Seoville, shows the propriety Of
soine.hing more than ex-parto af1idavits in
this matter ask that tsc jurors be pro-

mony as think proper sto the genuiness
OF handwriting" As TO the argument for

latter part of the-week.
The court therefore fixed Friday for the
arguments. The district attorney said he
did not intend the jury shall be put on
trai: This newspaper was suspicious on
iis face. The gentleman who had filed
,he anidovit and who had pnr.
ioined the paper, had already
been bound over for forgery in the District
court, The district attorney would show
the court that this was q covert attempt al
forgery He would not agree that the fury
who had done their work so faithfully
should be put upon trial and the oath oI
such man as that placed against theirs.
The court stated there was no such prac
tice as appointing a commission on que s.
ton OF this kind, but that it was within the
discretion OF the court to interrogate par
ties making affidavit, and he thought he
, would exercise this discretion.

court should interrogate ATLANTIS when tn,
district attorney came here and allege,

trial.
