Hitt, late Assistant Secretary of State, attended as a witness in the Chili-Peruvian investigation. Before he was sworn, however, Mr. Walker inquired of the chairman as to what points Mr. < as to be examined upon, and Mr. Blount, at Whose instance the witness had been summoned, ‘stated that he would prefer to impart that in- formation in executive session. The room was accordingly cleared ,and after the doors were re- ae it was announced that the examination of Hitt would not be proceeded witl ae as the testimony taken before the tee in New York—in connection with which Mr. ue Was to testify—was not yet in print. No action has thus far been taken on Mr. hipherd’s letter of last evening to the chairman (printed below), but that matter will probably be taken into consideration and passed upon by the committee to-day.
