Mr. Muldrow concluded his speech. He was op- Posed to the proposed bill because it was for pro- crastination. It delegated work to other to do which ought to be done by Congress. Mr. Brewer advocated a continuance of the sys- tem of protection a8 promoting the prosperity of the agricultural and manufacturing interests of the country.

The New Comet. ITS ELEMENTS COMPUTED—IT WILL BE VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS, Mr. S. J. Corrigan, of the Nautical Almanac of- fice, has computed the following system of ele- ments for the new comet: Perihelion passage, July 18th, Washington mean time; longitude of perihe- lion, 18 deg., 14 min., 1 sec.; longitude of node, 229 deg., 20 min., 28 sec.; inclination of orbit, 75 deg., 19min., 40sec. ; perihelion distance, 0.59, the earth’s distance from the sun being taken asi. The mo- ton ts direct. From the above elements it !s learned that this comet is moving around the sun in the same gen- eral direction as the earth moves—t. e., from east to west; that its orbit or path {s Inclined to that of the earth at an angle of about 75 degrees; that It will approach nearest the sun about July 19th, and that its distance from the sun at that time will be about 6-100 of the earth's distance from the sun, or about 56,000,000 of miles. It 18-at present about. 183,009,000 of miles trom the sun, and fs approaching that body at the rate of 1 of tailes per day. Its 500, distance from the earth is about one hundred. and. fifty-seven million of mniles, and the datty decrease Of this distance ts at present about one million of miles. This decrease will soon be much less, 30 that during June and July the comet will ‘not change its distance from the earth very much. Its nearest approach to our globe will be about Au- gust ist, when {ts distance from us will be about One hundred and nine million of.miles. Its bright hess will increase but. slowly for some time to come. About June tat it will be nearly six times as bright as it now is; on July ist, eighteen times; and on July 19ih, twenty-four dmes as brizht. The last number will express its test bril- iMancy, which Js, of course, theoretical, and derived from the comev’s distance from the sun and from the earth, on the supposition watits light is only reflected ‘light. It 1s now about as bright as an eighth magnitude star, The comet will not be- Weeks, and wilt tea appear almost alvecty aco, we and wi eR appear ly Dol about thirty ‘degrees above the horizon, — Arrest of Dr. Mary Walker.

His con- dition grew rapidly worse, and about 9 o'clock died, though everything possible was done to restore him to good health. Mr. Forepaugh con- ceived the happy idea of giving him to the National Museutn, and tmmediateiy dispatched a messenger to acquaint the authorities with his intention.

Shipherd before the House committee on foreign affairs yesterday after our report closed, the clerk finished the Treading of the letters submitted by Shipherd to substantiate the allegations which he had made against Gen. Hurtbut in previous examinations, but there was nothing in the correspondence to lead to the supposition that Hurlbut was improperly Interested in theclaim. The witness himself was forced to admit this, but he said his course was such that Mr. Scott Lord had declared that Hurl- but was “a double damned and deeply dyed villain,” as he had inserted himself absolutely be- tween President Calderon and the American claimants, in order to attempt to defeat the com- pany with the Peruvian government. ond place, he was not able to find anything in the case after he reached Peru, though before he went brought forth aletter raises the Secre- tary of State for’ his “broad mind, high-aspirin: ideals,” and “instant and comprehensive grasp all themes with equal and familiar ease,” and cals Mr. Walker Blaine a statesman, and very adroitly Sets out to secure him as attorney, but young Blaine took no notice of it, and the Secretary said there must be no negotiations carried on with his assistants in the State department, Shipherd Farther Examined To-Day. Mr. Rice resumed the examination of Mr. Ship- herd before the foreign affairs committee at half- Past 10 o'clock this ‘morning by asking if he had any further correspondence or interviews with Walker Blaine subsequent to the writing of the letter read yesterday. ‘Witness answered that he had one other inter- view with Walker Blaine at the State department some time in November last, and that Mr. Trescott ‘was present a part of the time. THE WITNESS’ OPINION OF MR. HURLBUT. Witness here desired to know if the exhibits which he had offered in evidence a few days since (referring to the newspaper charges against Mr. Hurlbut some years since) were to be admitted in evidence as a part of the circumstances which had influenced him (Shipherd) in forming his opinion of Mr. Hurlbut. Mr. Rice replied that, so far ashe was concerned, he could not see the pertinence to this investiga- tion of reviewing any matter occurring years ago, or any newspaper allegations in rea: Representatives Blount and Belmont were of the opinion that Mr. Shipherd had already been ac- corded sufficient latitude in showing how he was influenced in writing the letter of June 2d to A general discussion ensued, and the opinion of the committee was unanimously expressed In op- position to the admission of cainpalgn matter in the nature of a general attack upon the character of Mr. Hurlbut. ‘Witness wus asked to proceed, and interposed a. request to be heard on the question, which was accorded him. SHIPHERD GIVES AIS VIEWS AS TO THE OBJECT OF ‘THE INVESTIGATION. ‘With much emphasis, witness proceeded to state his views. The object of this investigation, as he understood, 1t was to make inquiry, first,'as to the missing letter; second, as to whether any mints- ters of the United States have been improperly Interested in the Peruvian company. In regard to his own position, witaess foun dual capacity—as a witness and ood It, the letter of the Secretary of him (Shipherd) witi. having attempted to bribe a minister of the United States. ‘This had arrests gress and had lead to ti rfect, Shipherd himself here in a as a defendant, the attention of Con- stigation, He(witnes-) 'y sharp ated aS to his mo- tives in writing the letter, and he deemed ft due to him (Shiphe ri) to be allowed to offer in evidence in his own de-ense everything which lead iiitn to form the opinion that Hurlburt was a purchase- able man. A RUNNING DISCUSSION ensued, in which members of the committee on the one side and Mr. Shipherd upon the other endeav- ored to define to their mutual satisfaction the limit of the inquiry in the matter of any public charges against Mr. Hurlbut which might have influenced Mr. Shipherd in making his proposition. Representative Blount objected to admitting sec- ondary evidence as to Mr. Hurlbut’s act or cl ter notin any way connected with this transac- tion. If this sort of evidence is to be admitted, evidence on the other #ide should be heard also, and as Mr. Hurlbut was dead and unable to mect his accuser it seemed to him manifestly unjust and roper to admit any such evidence. tative Blount therefore moved to exclude the ev! lence. After some discussion it was decided to let the motion lie on the table for the present. A CHANCE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS. Mr. Rice suggested that it had occurred to him that the mode of pursuing the inquiry might give the appearance of a partizan investigation, as thus far the republican members had occupied about all the time; not that any complaint had been made by any member of the committee, but red to him that {t would be fairer to allow some of the democratic members to take up the conduct of the investigation. The committee desired Mr. Rice to continue. Mr. Blount remarked that the investigation was belng conducted to his satisfaction. The chairman stated that he would call upon one of the democratic bers to case as soon as Mr. Rice had concluded the branch Of the case upon which he started. SHIPHEKD’S LETTER TO GOV. BOUTWELL. Mr. Rice resumed with the inquiry: any other correspondence with the Secretary of State (Mr. Blaine) which has not been printed?” Answer.—I have none, with the exception of one letter of December 10th, 1881, addressed to Gov. Boutwell and intended to be shown to the Secretary of State, whoever it m! Blaine or Frelinghuysen. The letter was then put in evidence and read by the clerk. It was lefended the writer ‘ht be, whether long, and d the Secre! res tempting to bribe Minister Hurlbut. SHIPHERD’S INTERVIEWS WITH SECRETARY BLAINE. Mr. Shipherd was asked to state what personal Interviews he had with Secretary Blaine, and re- plled that he held the first interview with him on the evening of October 13th and another on the morning of October 14th. Witness then stated at some length the circumstances which led up tothe to the dispatches posed were sent by ine to Mr.Hurlbut.

BLAINE’S DISPATCH. Mr. Blaine read it and replind “no not thats t'wonld raise a how! in Congress.” He (Mr. Blaine) then wrote—resting on the arm of hts chair—a dispatch in substance as follows: “The report Teaches the State department that your conduct 1s such as to lead to the suspicion of improper reia- tion with the Credit Industriel. You must stop Witness continued: “I heard afterwards through Senator Blair that the dispatch was sent, but the dispatch, which it appears—from the correspon- dence furnished by the State department—was sent, was very different from this dispatch which ‘the Secretary wrote in my presence and read to me.” STRUCK BY A REMARK OF MR. BLAINR’S. Witness further detailed what occurred at the Interview on November 34. At this interview Mr. Cilley, a gentleman thoroughly familiar with the affairs of Peru and Chill, was present. Witness was struck by one remark of Mr. Blaine’s. The Secretary drew his chair close up to witness and slapping him familiarly sald: Do you know, hipherd, you have something they haven't all got, that is_patience, sir. Now 1 give you some more advice for nothing: you have only got to be Patient and you will win your whole deal; be pa- Jent and you will see Martnez drop tnto your lap Uke an apple, Every time the Chilian minister comes to the departinent I notice that his seat 1s hotter and hotter, and it fs the Peravian company that fs disturbing him:” and this, sald witness, was only thirty days ‘previous to his sending to me the letter of December #4, in which he expressed so much indignation. Witness was also linpressed by another occurrence at this Interview; the sub- Ject of a possible American protectorate over Peru illey was asked what he thought of it. "He replied, 99 per cent of the Peru- Vians would hafl ft with the liveliest satisfaction. At this Mr. Blaine, with much earnestness, said: “Shipherd, can’t you get Calderon to send up a depatation. “If he should send. three of his best men, backed up With a strong endorsement of the sentiments of the leading men of Peru, it would weil be worth while. Congress could then learn from tnein the tue sentiments of tne people of eru.” B ——$— —— Death of Representative Alien. Representative Thomas C,.
