The house foreign affairs committee met
again to-day to resume the investigation of
the affairs of the Peruvian company.
Jacob X. Shipherd appeared in the COM
mttee room with good sized hand bag,
which was Immediately con njectured to be
filled with documents for the information
OF the committee, embracing among other
papers statement prepared by Ship
herd. Chairman Williams asked
Shipherd if he was ready to furnish copies
of all correspondence between himself and
any persons whomsoever in regard to the
origin, organization or objects of the Peru
vian company, Shipherd answered that he
was not. To all variations OF this question
Shipherd gave blunt negative, without
any qualifications Of any of his former
statements. The committee then went into
private consultation. Alter about ten
minutes the doors were reopened and ii was
learned that the committee had agreed to
inform the sergeant-at that it had no
further need for the attendance OF Ship
herd and that he might be discharged until
further notice. No time was fixed for a
further meeting in regard to the Chilian-
Peruvian matter.
Mr.. Shipherd after the abrupt termina.
tion of his examination to-day, pre-
pared long letter to Chairman
Williams of the foreign affairs com
mittee which was handed to Mr.,
Williams tonight. Shipherd says: On
the 18th of April last was notified by you
officially in the presence of the committee
that my examination would be temporarily
suspended, with the intimation of recall
