SPECIAL MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. ee BLAINE AND BELMONT. ‘The Exciting Scene During the Peru Investigation ‘Ko-day. The following is a detailed report of the exciting scene before the House foreign affairs committee to-day, between Messrs. Blaine and Belmont,which was briefly reported in the first edition of THE Star: Mr. Belmont.—“You undertook to instruct the committee yesterday, now perhaps it would be as well—though it 1s a small matter—to settle it now.” He then read the ames of four or five per- sons, not citizens of the United States, who, he stated, are now United States eonsuls. Mr. Kasson.—*That Is your statement,of course, but the law ts explicit that none but citizens of tae United States can be United States consuis.” Mr. Blaine.—There 18 a great difference be- tween consuls and consular agents. I never knew of an appointinent or confirmation where the party Was not a citizen. Idon’'t know anything of the gentlemen you have spoken of, but ff your list Is correct it fs probably a subject 10 look tito.” Mr. Walker.—“Don’t_ let's o any farther in this direction, ot we will have another investigation upon our hands.” [Laughter.} ‘Mr. Kasson destred to know if Mr. Belmont had nearly concluded his examination with reference to thé policy of the government. He did not de- sire to Interrupt the gentleman, but as the whole Tange of the present examination was outside of the resolution of inquiry, he should ask the de- ¢iston of the committee upon It, If It was to con- nue.” Mr. Belmont.—“T am nearly through. The wit- ness desired to be heard fully on that subject.” Mr. Blatne.—“Mr, Chairman, tnasmuch as trivial matters have been picked out, I have felt it but. proper that the true policy of the government. Should be correctly understood In this counec- jon.” Mr. Belmont then referred to the letter of in- structions to Mr, Trescott. Mr. Blaine (with some show of anger) called the attention of the committee to the fact that his dis- patches had been misquoted and again repeated the terin untruthful.

Mr. Blaine,—“ I must confess that T was greatly surprised at the publication of the dispatch. I thought Ihad an understanding with the Presl- dent that the di teh should not be published until Mr. Trescott’s return from South America, When I heard that it had been sent to the Senate Taphed immedtately to the White House and “i that it might be withheld from the Asso- ‘s8 That evening { senta note to the it stating mv ons Why it ought to be withheld.

Mr. Trescott considered his mission at South Auncric nied, and from that day there has been no earthly us? of keeping him there.” THE LAST WORDS BETWEEN MESSRS. BLAINE AND BELMONT. Mr. Belmont stated that he had no further ques- tions toask, and Mr. Blaine rising, said: “Now, Mr. President, I must call attention to the fact- and emphasize it, before I leave you, that Mr. Bel moat, though warned on Monday tht he had mis- quoted my dispatches and gave thi construc- tion never intended, and which couid In no possi- ble manner be distorted or twisted from them, he has persisted in putting his own construction upon them, [have no desire to renew any diflicuity with Mr. Belmont, I confess I lost my temper a littie, and I apolozized to the committee for tt; but I must say this much: I have always thou: a Belmoat a gentleman, and have treated him as such; but if he leaves Unis committee without ac- kKnowledging that he made a quoted me, I must change my 0} Mr. Belmont insisted that Mr. Blaine hed been In fault in charging him with misuse of a quota- tion mark. Mr. Blaine.—TI shall not use any unparliamen- ‘'y lancuage, but I most emphatically state that Mr. Beliont has there stated what is not a truth- ful version of my dispatch. -Mr. Chairman this Mr, Wilson (Jeprecatingly must stop.

In view of the inability of the civil authorities to restore order, the President suggests the use of a part of the army as a posse comitatus, and recom- imends the pussage of an enabling measure with this end in view. ——___ COLONEL ForsyTH Ku.is 81x INDIANS —The ad- Jutant general's office this afternoon recetved the following dispatch from General Sheridan at Chicago: “Dispatches through regular channel announce that Colonel Forsyth struck a band of hostile Indians, probably near Camp Rucker, on the 26ti and Killed six.

IMPROVEMENT: OF THE WATER WORKS. Mr. Harris asked and obtained authority from the Senate District committee to-day to offer an amendment to the bill for the enlargement and im- rovement of the water works, looking tothe es- Uibitshment of a boulevard eighty feet wide, alone and on top the extended conduit. Some resident: and property owners along the line of the proposed extension of the aqueduct have proffered t> donate naif the ground necessary for such a boule- vard if the gbvernment would pay for the other half, Mr. Harris’ amendment will empower the Secretary of War and Attorney General to use their discretion in the establishment of the boule- vard. If they deem ft desirable, they will be au- thorized to receive the donation of half the land ne-essary and acquire title to the remainder neces- sary for its construction. In the printed copy of the water bill the appropriation of $145,151 for the construction of the damn was omitted by some sort of accident. Mr. Harris was authorized to report an amendment to include this appropriation In the SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTER. ‘The Senate District committee, at their regular meeting to-day, directed Mr. McMillan to report favorably House bill No. 5,127, to amend the act ting the Masonic Mutual Reltef associa- e House bill to aut subdivision of squares 7 ani 13 of the Isherwood estate, $0 a8, to close up the street now running between ‘those squares and open new streets, and leave the spri in the middle of a square instead of in the street, a8 at present, was ordered to be favorably reported.
