Thin morning General Brady again took the witness stand , and was farther cross * examined by Bliss. Bliss took up the proceedings of the congress commit tees and asked witness If hla state ments then made were true. He as- aortad the ? were. Bliss Don't yon know yon made ten times the nnmber of orders made by yonr predecessors , Rontt and Ty- ner. ner.Brady I presamo I did ; I thought myself ten times better an assistant general postmaster than they were together. ( Laughter. ) Tyner and Jewell dtd little in expedition. It wag not p rt of the Jewelllan plan to plan to Increase star routes or steam boat service. Bliss Yon spoke of congress ap proving yonr act. Whore yon yon find thai ? Brady I regard granting the de ficiency appropriation an approval. Bllus Was that the only basil ? Brady ( sharply ) That was enough. Blies Did they give yon all yon asked ? Brady No , bnt they gave mo enough. Bliaa Then yon asked for more than you wanted ? Brady Yes , for more than enough to mike up the deficiency. Bins Did yon not say to William Tiilloy , . sub-contractor , in August , 1880 , that if the sub contract on Min eral Park was given to one of Jeu- nlnga' yon would out the service down to a trip a week ? Ingenoll objected- , - > Afcor.-argument , wiinoaa replied thntlHe dJdTHJtJrememfaeir an ir eon venation. He had tali like saying anch things about Jennings because he rendered such miserable service on other routes. Bllis produced one of the price , drafts and asked if witness had ever had the paper in his possession. Wi son obj ; cte J. Meriick expressed his i tsntion of * howlng that these drafts for $1.250 each and 82,500 in money had boon plaodd upon Brady's desk by a con tractor for a corrupt pupose. . Hoar gued it was competent evidence for either direct or cross examination. The government would show that this witness had dragged hla whlto robes of office in the gutter at the bidding and tor the pay of others in reference to other routes They wanted to have it out of his own month , so they might xebnt him. The court Interrupted , and asked if Merrlck held that , if the facts wore proven as proposed , he could oblige the defendant to criminate himself , Merrlok contended he coald , and read from authorities in support of his proposition. Having voluntarily gone on the stand the defendant must run his risk cf criminating himself. The law did not contemplate force when such witnesses were allowed to testify. If they showed that en or about the samn time ( that the indictments cov ered ) witness was steeped in villainy , was it not competent evidence ? Daring the delivery of Merrlck's argument , which occupied half an hour and wan characterized by bitterness and scithlhg comments upon Brady , the latter sat with the greatest com posure in the witness box , looking him calmly in the face. Without hearing the argument on the part of the defense , court ad journed nntil Monday. CROOK'b WORK. Special Dli ) atch to Tin BBS. SMALL POX AND MEDICINE WASHINGTON , March 1C Genera !

Dls idea Is to place two or three hun dred men in the larger cities nf England with a few barrels of petro leum , await a windy night , and at a preconcerted signal make ono hundred ooofligratlons in as many cities , spread terror and destruction through the land , and thus make the British lion howl and accede to any terms.
