THE PERU INVESTIGATION. SENATOR BLAIR EXAMINED. HIS KNOWLEDGE OF SHIPHERD’S SCHEME. —_.>—__ Senator Blair was in attendance at the rooms of the committee om foreign affairs promptly at ten oclock this morning, but the committee were, 3; usual, somewhat tardy. Chairman Williams called the ccmmittee to order at quarter past ten and formally announced ;he sub-committee to visit New York, after which Senator Blair was sworn, and Chairman Williams began a series of questions, to which Senator Blair replied, that he desired, before answering any direct questions, to ee ae the record his cee) and were ordered to be made a part of the as Was also the resolution of Senate record, granting witness Permission to appear before the committee. SENATOR BLAIR'S GENERAL STATEMENT. Senator Blair then sald: “I have ina somewhat hurried manner prepared a general statement in relation to the subject under investigation, which I will read, and I will then be pleased to answer such questions as I properly can.” “Representative Blount desired to know exactly what was meant. He thought the witness put himself unreservedly in the hands of the com- mittee. Ifany questions were to be reserved, he thought it had better be settled at once. Senator Blair replie1 that he could not tell in advance what questions might be asked, but he did not expect to ask any indulgence whatever. He then read in effect: “I know nothing of the membership of the Feruvian company. Except the president, Mr. Shipherd, I do not know of any member of elther house being in any way what- ever connected with it except myself, and my con- nection with it was purely as counsel, with no pe- cuniary interest whatever in the company, and with no expectation whatever of pecuniary re- ward.” The statement then rehearsed at some length the situation of affairsin Peru and Chili, and the writer’s sympathy for Feru, and desire to prevent her dismemberment, which led him to ake an Interest in the purposes and objects of the Peruvian compxny. AS 1) SENATOR BLAIR’S RETAINER. The statement then set forth the circumstances which led up to witness accepting a retainer from the Peruvian company. He was introduced to Mr. Shtpherd in New York as he (witness) was passing through on his way to New Hampshire, Later, near the middie of July, he saw Shipherd again in New York and had a long conference with him, in which Shipherd expressed strong sympathy with Peru, and explained that. his company was calcu- lated to afford an opportunity to Peru to settle her diMiculties and avold a loss of territory. Witness Ustened toa Jong aceount from Shipherd of the Plans of the company and promised his cordial sympathy and ald. Shipherd spoke of offering a retainer, which witness at that time declined. Some time in August, Shipherd wrote offering wit ness as a retainer stock in the company. Witness replied that he preferred a retainer in money if he took any. Shortly after he Shipherd) sent witness some scrip, which e Subsequently returned for the reasons which he set forth at the time tn a letter. Witness then Tead the letter, in which, while expressing his hearty sympathy with Péru and the Peruvian company in its desire to save her from disinem- berment, he found that events were taking a turn which rendered it highly probable that the subject would become one for Congressional action, and in view of his distinct stipul.tion in deciding to take aretainer that he should return itat any time under such contingencies he therefore returned the serip, and assured Mr. Shipherd that his syn- athy wis still strongly with the line of policy to- rd Peru which the Peruvian company favored. Witness then read the letter which he wrote at the same time to ex-Senator Exton, remarking: “With the exception of ex-Senator Cragin, this is the’ only gentleman with whom I ever had any correspondence on the subject.” THE LETTER TO EX-8ENATOR EATON Dore date November 26th, 1881. The letter says: “Mr. Shipherd’s management of the affairs of the Peruvian company seems to be tending so much in a direction towards requiring Congressional action that I have felt it my duty to retire from any connection as counsel, and I have returned my retainer.” In further allusion to the comp:ny itsays: “In fact, I have never received anythigg cf value from it; and again, Tshould be sorry 1 this opportunity to help both North and South America should be lost by a fatlure on the part of o government to maintain a mild yet firm Icy. Witness then explained his view of what this Foley had been, and added: “So far as I know, he affsir of Mr. Shipher had no fafluence what- ever upon the policy of our government, and never had the effect to alter or change it in any conceiv- able degree.” THE INTERVIEWS WITH SECRETARY BLAINE. Witness then alluded to the interviews with Secretary Blaine which took place on the 25th and 26th of July, and added: “I have no desire to go over, in detail, what occurred at those interview: unleds it be the wish of the committee that shall do so. I desire to state that I never heard Mr. Siipherd make any mention, in the presence of Mr, Blaine or on any other occasion in my pres- ence, of his having made an offer to Minister Hurlbut of $250,000 of stock in the Peruvian com- 3 neither did I ever have any correspondence Minister Hurlbut on the subject of the Peru- vian com) itn received a letter from Mr. Hurlbut, but never answered it. In the letter Mr. Huribut mentioned having recetved many communications from Mr. Sbipherd, and said he could not make him (Shipherd) understand that he (Hurlbut) cou!d not act in the matter, ex- cept on instructions from the State department. itness never replied to this letter of Mr. Hurl- but’s. He had, however, roughly blocked out an answer, and hid no objection to showing the com- mittee how he would have replied to it. ‘The com= mittee decided that they did not care jor the reply, as it had not been-sent. THE ARIZOLA LETTER. Witness then stated that he knew of the letter to Mr. Arizola, but had nothing to do with its Preparation. Mr. Shipherd read to him (witness) some eis of it after it had been sent. Wit- ness did notsee atthe time or now any impro- prety tn Mr. Shipherd’s sending it to Mr. Arizola, hrough Minister Hurlbut, It was known that the malls were being tampered with, and this seemed to be the only secure way of sending the letter, so ‘that it would reach its final destination. THE LETTER TO WALKER BLAINE. ‘Witness first saw the long letter of Mr. Shiphera to Walker Blaine when he saw it in the printed Teport of Mr. Shipherd’s examination before the committee, He bad, however, been requested by Secretary Blaine to inform Mr. Shipherd that he (Blaine) did not wish him (Shipherd) t hold any correspondence with subordinates of the State department, and this he had verbaily con- veyed to Mr. Shipherd. ‘Witness knew nothing of the Credit Industriel or their contract with Calderon. IN RELATION TO HIS (BLAIR'S) LETTER 70 smIP- HERD, in which he says: “You should act asthough American ships of war were on the way,” wit- ness believed that our government ought to con- sider the kidnapping of Calderon a breach of food faith towards country, and while he not ‘fat that time entertain the slightest apprehension of any war between the United States and a little Dation of less than 2,000,000 people, however plucky they might be, he had thought !t most likely that American ships of war would be sent to the South Amer Waters, as Engl ships had already been. It had beea mainty due to the efforts of Minister Hurlbut—in pursuance of !\'s instructions—that Calderon had been enabled t jon As A measure which os | pehappneaae by a little firm. hess on the partof our government. He uncer- stood that General Grant, without any pecuni:ry interest whatever in the vian company, Wis re in favor of rendering such sympathy and betare permitting her dismemberment 3 * fore As for himself, witness was more interested in the true policy of our country than in the Ship- herd com) ‘or any other company. stated that he was prepared to answer any questions the committee might desire BUSINESS IN CONGRESS TO-DAY.
