POLITICAL ASSESEMENTS. ‘ Pending the consideration of the legislative bill In the House this afternoon, Mr. Townshend op- posed an amendment: making !t a misdemeanor to assess employes of the government whose salaries are provided for in the bill for political purposes, ‘The chairman of the committee of the whole (Mr. Robinson of Mass.) ruled the amendment out on @ point of order made against it by Mr. Cannon, pees eee ‘The Water Supply Bill Passed, DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE. After our report of the proceedings in the House of Representatives on the bill to increase the water supply of the District closed yesterday, Mr. Reagan opposed its passage before steps had been taken to ascertain what.the property wilich it was pro to condemn would cost the government, and proceeded to argue in favor of an amendment making the people of the District chargeable with ‘one-half of the expense of the-work. Mr. Blount criticised the bill, on the ground that it imposed all the expense of improvement on the general government iustead of the people of the District becoming Mable for one-half of it Mr. Speer ad- voeated the passage of the bill, and referred to the fact that children were sickening in the public 8:hools of Washington for want of suffictent water supply. Mr. Holman opposed.the bill. Mr. Towns- hend portrayed the necessity of the District for & more adequate supply of water for sanitary pur- poses, and defended te provisions of the pen ing ill. ’Mr, Garrison confined his remarks to an Yocacy of an amendment which Aue offered, appro- priating $70,000 for the erection of fish-way’s at the Great Falls and at the dams proposed to be con- structed by the bill. After a brief speech in favor of the bill by Mr. Hoge, the previous question was ordered on the bill and ampndments, Poe one offered by Mr. Blount, providing that one-hal of the BLS shall be paid for by the Dis- trict of Columbia, and authorizing the District Commissioners to issue 3-65 bonds to such an amount as may be required in the execution of that improvement. THE DEBATE TO-DAY. ‘The water supply bill was called up in the House at 11:80 o’clock to-day. Mr. Cassidy, of Nevada, opposed the Reagan amendment, requiring the District to pay one-half of the expense of the improvement. He thought the title to the improvement should be vested in the United States, and not be shared with the Dis- trict of Columbia. ‘The proper thing to do was for the government to continue to be the sole pro- prietor of the water works. Mr. Randall said that while the title to the water works was vested in the United States, the rev- enues went to the District. He knew there was a necessity for more water. On Capitol Hill the Recesalty for water, was sadly tel He thought, however, the District ought to pay one-half. It ‘Was a contract between the District and the United States toeach pay halt of the District expenses, and he did not favor departing from it. The equity and law was on the side of the Reagan amend- ment. Mr. Page, of California, asked Mr. Ran even if the Reagan amendment was not adopted, if the District, under existing law, would not have to pay one-half of the cost of the improvement, ‘Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, sald the proposed increased water supply would be for the beneat solely of the eople of the District, and it was right and equi- Etble that they should pay for halt of it. Congress, he said, had paid one-half of the interest on the debt, which an extravagant beard of public works had saddled on the District, and for future im- ict should be pay neither equity nor justice, Uce to the ‘coustituents the amendment to compel the District to pay halt did not prevail, he would vate ag: Mr. Buckner safd the bal supply of water to the District ee: the United States. He th thing to ask it. myghe tO Day 16 all. : ‘Urner closed the debate on the bill. He said he was ate i sid from the Treasury, &c. Congress pays ‘half of | the expenses of the District government; but the extension of the United States water works has nothing to do with the District government. Mr. Neal said the people of the District paid a full price for every drop of water they received. The revenues derived from water rents were ap- piled to the payment of water bonds outstand- Ing. ‘ir. Urner, resuming the floor, favored the amendment of Mr. Garrison fora fishway at the Great Falls of the Potomac. ‘The first amendment to the Dill, submitted by Mr. Garrison, to butlda fishway at the Great Falls Was adopted. Mr. Reagan withdrew his amendment, accept- ing an amendment offered by Mr. Blount. Mr. Blount withdrew his amendment, directing the District to pay one-half, and accepted the fol- lowing substitute, offered by Mr. Hewitt, of New ‘ork: MR. HEWITT’S AMENDMENT Provided further that the cost of the sald improve- ments shall be annually computed and stated by the Treasurer of the United States and charged to acapital account on the books of the Treasury, and that the interest at the rate of 3-65 per cent thereon shall be annually included in the District tax levy and paid into the Treasury of the United States, and that any surplus of water rents over and above the expenses of maintaining the works and appendages and paying prior interest charzes now existing Shall be pald {nto the Treasury of the United States and credited to the capital account thus created until the same shall be finally extin- guished. THE BILL PASSED. ‘The amendment of Mr. Hewitt was then agreed to, and the bill passed without a record vote. +0. = THE CREDIT INDUSTRIEL. Examination of Mr, Blame Before the House Foreign irs Committee— He Contradicts Mr, Randa ‘The examination of Mr. Blaine was resumed be- fore the House committee on foreign affairs this morning. Chairman Willams called Mr. Blaine’s attention to passages in the printed testimony of Mr. Robert E. Randall, relative to the Credit In- dustriel. Mr, Blaine in substance stated that Mr. Randall, who was an utter stranger to him (wit ness), first_approached him in February, 1881; sent his card to witness in the Senate chamber, and began a conversation on the assumption that he (witness) was a member of President Garfleld’s cabinet. He (witness) waived the assumption, however, and as far as possible the conversation. Witness had no reason to beileve that Mr. Randall would intentionally misrepresent; but no such conversations as he (Randall) had testified in re- gard to ever took place. He (witness) did not look upon Mr. Randall as the person with whom to dis- cuss the affairs of the Credit Industriel, ‘The Count DeMontferrand, a gentieman of high standing, was their direct representative, and doth he ‘and Suarez had been very persistent in essing the objects of the company upon the at- cntion of the State department. Mr. Blaine sald he told the Count de Montferrand that the action which he desired the government to take was wholly inadmissible. He informed him that the government did not desire to obstruct the com- Pany if thelr object was to aid Peru. Mr. Blaine then read a letter addressed to Mr. Evarts and signed by Count de Montferrand and Suarez, in which the plans of the company were plainly stated—namely, to pay an indemnity of 550,000 pounds sterling per annum for a term of years, and also the bondholders of Peru, whose claims amounted to 45,000,000 pounds sterling. MR. BLAINE FLATLY CONTRADICTED many of the statements made by Mr. Randall. He sald he (witness) never asked Mr. Randall if Mr. Hurlbut, as minister to Peru, would be accept- able to his company, and never intimated to him (Randall) what instructions would be given to Mr. Hurlbut or toMr. Trescott. He asserted most post- tively that the State department never for a mo- ment countenanced the idea of an American pro- tectorate. The idea was never taken into consid- eration in the instructions which were given to Mr. Hurlbut and to Mr. Trescott. In fact it never had a lodgment in the State department. Such a policy would have been a terrible bluader on the Part of this government. MR, BLAINE’S OPINION. Mr. Blaine took occasion to say that, in his opin- fon, peace would ere this have been established between Peru and Chili had not. Mr. Trescott’s in- structions been revoked; that a permanent peace never will be secured except through outside pres- sure; that either the United States must intervene or let some European power intervene; that in his (witness’) opinion the United States will soon be compelled to take much more decided ground than he (witness) took; that the U.S. cannot play dog in the manger and say: “I won't intervene, or let any one else either.” - ENGLISH INFLUENCE. Mr. Blaine was asked if he desired to make any further statements, and replied that he desired to say In reference to his former testimony before the committee that in his allusion to English influence he aid not mean the English cabinet, but English influence in the sense of-British interests. He ce a the action ofthe British minister at Lima, Sir Spencer St. John, was reprehensible in the highest degree and such as—if he had been an American tminister—would have cost him his position. He then stated that the conduct to which he referred was the preparation by Sir Spencer St. John of a bogus treaty between the U. 8. and Peru, which he sent to the Chiilan govenment and which greatly incensed them against Mr. Hurlbut and the U. S.; that Mr. Hurlbut called him to task for it, and he replied that it was merely a joke. “This reply,” said Mr. Blaine, “Mr. Hurlbut’ properly characterized as a very frivolous and indecent way of getting out of a dishonorable transaction.” ‘MR. BLAINE CORRECTS HIS TESTIMONY AS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS. Mr. Blaine then added: “There 1s one other point in mx previous testimony upon which I desire to make acorrection. I appear to have spoken of the ‘dirty democratic press.’ I should have sald, ‘the dirty portion of the democratic press,’ because all the better elements of the democratic press, in a:scussing this subject, have taken high and pat. Hiotic ground. It Kad sald the dirty portion ot the democratic press and the dirty portion of the republican press I should have expressed myself peel and 1 now desire to put that sentiment on record.” The committee adjourned till 10 o'clock to-mor- Tow, when Mr. Trescott will be examined.

Testimony for the Government To- day—Senator Saunders on the Stand. There was but a small number of spectators in the Criminal Court room at 10 o'clock this morning when the star route trial—under the indictinent against the Dorseys, Brady, Miner, Vaile, Rerdell and Peck, for conspiracy—was resumed. Among the new faces in the court room was that of Sen- ator Saunders, of Nebraska, who sat by Mr. Me rick. Mr. Ingersoll asked the court ff it was under- stood the evidence so far offered proved any overt act TUNING THE FIDDLE. “No, sir,” sald Judge Wyle, who remarked, in effect, that this was, as he understood it, intended to show that there was some subject for conspir- acy. “Then,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “they are only tuning the fiddle now. They ‘haven't struck a tune yet.” Mr. Totten having objected to evidence relatin, fo the acts of one person, Judge Wylie remarked, Nobody ts to be found guilty in this court unless the gulit 1s brought home to him.” “Well, that is some comfort, your honor,” said Mr, Tottem I think the counsel might have found that comfort before,” said Mr. Merrick. SENATOR SAUNDERS A WITNESS, Senator Saunders was then called to the stand and sworn. The petition from citizens of Nebra: regarding the route from Kearney to Kent (34, was handed to him by Mr. Bliss, and he_tdentit an endorsement on the back as h by himseif. that pres ad ving been made He could not recoliect who tt was nted the petition to him. Assuming that the paper was endorsed by him on the 6th of February and presented to the department. April 6th, he Would not have kept the session so long. He did not remem chedule, thirteen hours, in the n. He did not write them, and thought if they been there they would have attracted his at- tention. peti- AN “EXPEDITION” INSERT IN THE PETITION. A discussion having sprung up as to the rele- vaney of certain questions, Mr. Wilson re- marked on the nature of the mail service and the absurdity of asking, for instance, for a daily mail on a 48 hours schedule, Mr. Bilss sald the government proposed to show that when the petition was presented by an agent of the contractors it contained no word about ex- pedition, and between the time Senator Saunders placed his name upon it and the time when tt was presented to the department, the words asking for expedition were inserted in it. THE NEXT WITNESS was Charles H. French, who testified that he re- sided in Loup City, Neb.; was a sub-mail con- tractor, and on the 5th of June, 1878, made a sub- contract with John M. Peck, by his attorney, J. W. Dorsey, on the route from Kearney to Kent. ‘The witness identified a duplicate of the sub-con- tract produced from the files of the Post Office de- department. The terms of the contract were that French was to be paid $700 for one round trip per Week; $1,300 for two round trips, $1,800 for three round trips, $3,900 for six round ribs per week, and in case of expedition Frepch was to receive 65 per cent of the amount received for such expedition. ‘The witness said the pay of $700 a year Was con- tinued till the Ist of August, 1879. Since August, 1879, he had received $1,587.40, as he did not make tripS clear through. He’ received payments froma. John R. Miner as agent for the contractor. He generally made a trip from Kearney to Loup City in twelve hours, and had never chal the ume since he began ‘the service. He had never been directed to expedite nis timefrom Kearney to Loup City, and had never received any 65 per cent for expedition. ‘he witness said when he began service on the route he employed five horses and two men; from Loup city to Kearney he employed three horses and one man. In August, 1879, when the trips were increased he employed ten horses and three men, two horses being required to go to Cedar- ville. He did not add the horses because it was required in order to carry the mails faster. ‘The witness helped circulate the petition to get an Increase of mail facilities on the route. A copy of it was sent to witness by John M. Peck, and wit- ness took it to Mr. T. 8. Nightingale, who prepared the copy in court, the original having been dlotted by the spilling of a bottle of ink upon it ‘The words “schedule 18 hours” were not in the petition When witness circulated it or when he gave It to Nightingale. |The petition when it came to him was in the same handwriting of the letters he had always recelved about the service, signed “John R. Miner,” his replies being directed to be returned to “Lock Box 114,” Washington. Witness was never asked by any of the defendants how many horses were required to carry the mails on the route, The witness had never seen the affidavit of John M. Peck, that 6 men and 14 animals would be required to carry the mail on a schedule of 13 hours. . At half past 12 o'clock a recess for half an hour was taken. AFTER RECESS. Tpon the re-assembling of the court Mr. French was recalled to the stand, and Identified a number of letters that passed between John W. Dorsey & Co, and himself. The first letter produced, bear- ing date in 1878, Messrs. Ingersoll, Chandier and Totten objected that the letters were written prior to the amendment of the Revised Statutes, under which this indictment was laid. The amendment of 1879 changed the law regarding conspiracies a3 to the degree of punishment. Judge Wylie said as to conspiracies the range of testimony Was very wide. They were receiving evidence connecting the parties together in busi- ness relations. For the purpose of showing the relationship of the parties he thought it was com- petent even if ttreferred to acts prior to the pas- Sage of the law. WITNESSES BEFORE THE GRAND JURY in the star route cases were sworn to-day as fol- lows: C. 8. Crocker, Daniel R. Collins, Erastus Woodruff, R. P.
