THE CREDIT INDUSTRIEL.

MR. TRESCOT BEGINS TO TESTIFY.
HE HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE MISSING PAPkhs-
sHIPHERD AGAIN-MR. BELMONT VAiNLf Al
TEMPS TO MAKE MR.. TREsCOT CONTRADICT MIR.
BLAINE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON. June 14-Mr lrescots testimony
before the committee to-day did not produce many
new facts as an early adjournment was had Id
order TO permit the committee to examine the cor
,es,ondcncc sent in from the State Department.
Mr. Trescot testified that he knew nothing oil the
missing letters and practically nothing OF snip
herd. and spoke in high terms of General HurlDut'
not only as regards his knowledge, Dut as re-
cards the estimation in which the late Minister was
held LII Chill as well as i'll Peru. MT lfeScot sdiu
the time never arrived when the possible lhIerNon-
ton of the Credit Industriel between Chll anu
Peru became practical question. Affairs diu ho'
reach the stage during General huIlDUts ihcuih-
benev. of the discussion of details regarding pay
ment of indemnity.
Mr.. Belmont took up the examination when
Chairman Williams stopped and showed great
eagerness in his attempts to get from MI lIesco'
some statement pointing toward Mr. Dlalne' Dir'
| 1rescot found occasion several Tunes 10 Suggest
| that MIR. Belmont was misquoting him, which aid
| not prevent Mr.. Belmont from continuing IL. III
would be difficult TO gIve without vastly more de-
| Mr.. Bemonts gadhy method OF examination, winch
| inevitably rritates almost every witness VINO
comes upon the stand, and usually ends by lrrlta-
ting the committee also Perhaps one instance VIII
suflce Mr. Trescot stated that he had had various
conversations with agents of the Credit lndustrel
here Just as Secretary Evarts Secretary Blaine anu
others had had. Mr.. Belmont at once began
to call these conferences-whch would obviously
mean a great deal more and indeed would mean
a great deal too much. After he had done this sew
eral times, Mr. Trescot, who is polished diplomat,
corrected him with great pohteness, but Mr. Bel
mont went on calling them conferences all the
same II would be amusing If 1t were worth while
10 give an enumeration of the times MIR. Belmont
interrupted the witness or member of the com
mltee IN the middle of sentence. Once Dlr. W III
rams had to ask the opportunity OF finishing his
sentence.
At the end of half an hours pointless question:
ing Mr. Belmont insisting that Mr.. Irescot
should saw whether he drafted for Mr. Blame tine
instructions of June 10; Mr.. Trescot was politely
su tgestlng that he ought not to be compelled To
Disclose confidential transaction, and one or two
members, apparently lrritated with Mr. Belmont,
were taking the same view, when Mr. kaSsOn Inter
fered with sensible motion TO adjourn.
