Of Senator Blair was resumed.

his advice in the matter could be followed.
After \ certain policy had been advocated
lit this country Tor loug series q years in
regard to South American countries, it
seemed to him the proper thing to have
done when an opportunity was afforded lis
without violating any obligation TO any
European country-to have preserved
peace between Peru and Chill, and made
Peru stron. commercial ally OF the United
States. He would have embraced the op.
portunity. In that way we would have
secured control OF that canal, which seems
in fair way topass to the control OF Euro
pean nations.
Witness stated that Shipherd placed the
amount OF the t.audrcau claim 1T Si3j ,90o.-

was found that tho entire inside OF the

jail was not in danger and close guard
was kept over the inmates, who were not

old monster attacks Us by putting

ner In paper, that the fact of putting
our name In, is insulting to us, We can
not refrain from placing ourselves ON

nate the atmosphere, and are SO low
