THE PERUVIAN AFFAIR.

Senator Blair was again before the Foreign
Affairs Committee on the 4th inst, but his ex-
animation added little, il anything, to the sum
OF human knowledge concerning the affair
under investigation. The most important
statement that he made was that he
never heard of the letter OF Shipherd to
Hurlbut Offering $250,000 until Dec. 8, when
he was at the house of MIR. Blaine, and the
latter called his attention to the letter he had
received, giving the first information about it.
The general drift Of the cross-examination went
to show that the Senator was the drpe Of the
willy Shipherd.
The examination Of Senator Blair by the
Foreign Affairs Committee on the 9Th inst. con-
sisted largely of the reading Of statistics from
the "Statesmans Year Book " and Spofford's
Almanac as TO the condition and population
of Peru and Chill, and catechising Mr.. Blair
with regard to them. Witness thought
there could be no doubt but that English in
fuence predominated commercially III South
America, and that Chill hod5~commercial rela-
tions almost exclusively with European ma
tons, particularly with England, from whom
she has received substantial financial aid.
Witness stated that Shipherd placed the amount
OF their claim at S135, 200, 900, and that Of
Cochet at 81, 600, 600, 900. 1t was always clear
to him (witness) that they would get great
amount OF it, Shipherd indicated a readiness
to take in settlement from Peru whatever
might seem fair.
In the Peruvian Company investigation at
Washington, on the 9Th inst, Senator Blair
acknowledged he had accepted s1OO, 900 worth
Of Shepherds stock, but had not been in
huenced by mere money considerations. He
saw Peru "the under dog, and his sympathies
we're enlisted in her behalf. This closed the
investigation, except SO far as the sub-com-
mittee IA concerned.
