PUBLISHED AND UNPUBLISHED LETTERS.
WASHINGTON, Feb 18.-The publication
to-day Of another batch of the Chili-Peru
correspondence relating to Shepherds Pc
ruvian company scheme ha revived talk
and speculation as to what are the bottom
facts in that business The documents
SAINT to congress in response ito Represen-
tative Belment's resolution have proved to
be somewhat disappointing to those who
expected sensation, but they are of such
character that a congressional investigaSR
ton will probably be demanded Senators
are quite averse to saying much on the
subject, although some Of them intimated
o-day that they could not see how an in
vestigation could be well avoided.
Shepherds list OF those with whom he
said on June last year he>was already or
would be in confidential negotiations. in
cludes the names of five Senators Blair,
Dawes, Sherman, Cameron and Hale and
one member of the House, Hewitt, of New
York.
Blair admits his connection with the
Peruvian scheme. He feels greatly cha
grined over the developments and claims
that he did nothing except in his capacity
as attorney. Dawes said to-day that he
received one of Shepherds confidential
documents. but he regarded it as internal
nonsense. . Sherman and Hale both re-
ceived the circular, and they say they
looked upon Shipherd as
A HAIR-BRAINED VISIONARY.
Hewitt also got the circular, bur he paid
no attention to it, regarding it as the pro-
duct of crazy character It is probable
that some of these Senators whose names
are mentioned will on Monday make per-
sonal explanation in the Senate, and if
Blair doesn't ask for committee Of inves-
tigation it Is expected that Sherman or
Dawes viii do so.
There is Inuch speculation over the fact
that in the documents forwarded to Con
gress there appears nowhere even . partial
list of the bona fide corporators OF the Pc
ruvian company. Some of those Walo have
been following the matter closely are IN

The Result Of a Spree.

SAN FRANCIsco, July 23.-From a
late copy of the Shanghai Mercury
received per steamship City of Pek-
ing, it is learned that very serious
trouble has arisen at Ming Po, China,
and the foreign community is placed
in position of peril.
On the night of June 13 three
Americans and an Austrian went
ashore on spree. The Americans
were all captains of lorchas, and the
Austrian was attached to the Gus
toms revenue cutter kuansing, then
lying in port. 1t seems that these
four men went to Chinese brothel
and demanded admittancc, which
was for some reason denied. While
knocking at the door, Cantonese
men appeared at an upper window
and either by accident or intention.
ally, committed nuisance on the
visitors. This so enraeed the men
that they kicked in the door and, en-
tering the building. assaulted a
Chinaman lying in bed in most
brutal manner, splitting open his
head and breaking several ribs.
This man was entirely innocent of
the indignity and proved to be the
captain of one of the eleven Canton
warjunks then at Ming Po. After
their murderous assault the men es
capped, but were arrested the follow
ing day, and, after investigation be-
fore the American Consul, commit
ted. The Austrian was subsequently
discharged, it being shown that he
endeavored to prevent the outrage.
The wounded man, who also proves
to be a cousin of the Titai, or Ad-
miral, is in a very critical condition,
and is expected to die.
There is great Indignation among
the natives, and should the victim
die there is no determining what the
crews of the war-junks may do in re-
taliation.

In reply to the proclamation of the
khedive, Arab appointed Ministry
of his own at Cairo, and preparations
were made to attack Aboukir. Ar
abb is moving portions Of his forces
in that direction.
Dispatches for Arab, brought by
the embargoed mail steamers, were
seized.
1t is stated that two of Arabi' 5
colonels acting as spies entered the
town disguised as dervishcs.
The khedivc has requested a
steamer to proceed to Dulcigno, to
fetch 1000 Albanians to act as his

opposed the project by refusing to
provide money therefor.

WAsnISaToS, July 23.-The SEN
ate will continue the consideration Of
the Internal Revenue bill tomorrow.
If the Senators choose to hold night
sessions and work industriously the
bill can be passed by Tuesday even
ing. If, on the contrary, the lazy in
difference that is the usual character
istie of the Senate prevails, the work
will not be disposed of until the end
of the week. Each day that passes
renders the adoption of the Revenue
bill by both houses this session more
uncertain, and consequently imperils
the passage Of the Knit Goods bill,
which is the next measure in order
after the Revenue bill is disposed Of.
Senator Malone said to-day that
he hoped TO secure the adoption of
his amendment reducing the tax on
tobacco to eight cents, but he feared
that several Democrats would
vote with the majority of
the Republicans against it.
