ANOTHER CHAPTER FROM BRADY.
WASHINGTON , March 16. 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.

WASHINGTON , Maroh lG Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury French haa
furnished for publication a statement
in regard to the charges against Su
pervising Architect Hill. He denies
a knowledge cf any of the charges.
This is a more quibble. The state
ment rondo waa ( hat the charges had
boon prepared for consideration of
Secretary Folger. Assistant Socro-
taay French ii not the proper person
to pass npon such charges , as bo is the
head who haa approved all of Hill's
work. Some years ago whtn
charges were preferred against a con
tractor for fraud , French's department
supplied the accused with early copies
of the charge , and gave him access to
the rcootds of the department before
the prosecuting oftioors had an oppor
tunity to examine them. The opinon
is that It wonld bo nnwlso to put the
new inquiry into the hand of assistant

LONDON , March 10. In many maps
f London the local government board

; t is thought the attempt to blow np
ho former building was made with
ho Idea that it was the latter , \Vm.
laroonrt being very obnoxious to the
Fenians.
Sir Charles Dllko , president of the
coal government board , thinks tho-
ttoinpt was not upon himself or the
officials of his department. The evildoers
doors intended to cause widespread de
struction of property , lie is of the
opinion the plot originated with the
managers of the skirmishing fund.
Sir William Uarcourt and other
borne ofliciala bollovo the attempt was
directed against the criminal inquiry
department , which ia adjacent to the
* Hi .JOB of the local local government
board. The guards were doubled at
the magazines and military centres.
Dublin detectives are assisting the
Lpndun police.
The government offers a reward of

thors of the explosion. The reward ap ; <
.plies toihp bitdmpton the Times office

UESIAUKS.
NEW YORK , March 15. When
O'Djnovan Rossa was asked to-day
whether the explosion in London was
ansed by dynamite or was It an ac-
Idental explosion of gas , ho answered :
Wo oould not follow out our system
unless wo used dynamite , and that
what caused the explosion. There
was no accident about it. "
"Do yon think it was intended to
ostroy the building only , or kill those
within ? '
"It waa intended to do all the dam-
go possible , and it was done to show
England she had better give Ireland
or own parliament. England Is at
war with Ireland and Ireland should
)0 at war with England. "
Rossa showed the following dispatch
rom Boston :
"Congratulate you on news from Lon-
on this morning. I can collect money
iOW In Booton.
( Signed ; ) "Joiw D. DBISCOLL. "
Rossa said ho received to-day of-
ors of money , and ho can obtain all
hat's needed. In answer to the
inestlon as to what wonld next be
[ ono , ho showed a letter advising him
o publish in his paper a declaration
of war on England , signed by repre
sentative Irishmen. When that was
done It could not bo claimed their ac
tions were dishonorable. As for weap
ons , all available ones should be used ,
his , he said , waa his answer.
PATRICK J. SUERIDAN ,
whoso extradition England has re
quested , said , "The work is tbat of
Irishmen , and is bnt the advance
picket. Much more will follow. Eng
land will shortly BOO nhe must either
free Ireland or Buffer the cense
quences. "
( mown TALK.
PEOIIIA , March 1C. In an interview
with Pat Crowe , of this city , to day ,
ho professed great exultation at tha
attempt to blow up the government
building at London , bnt did not favor
the moans employed , Ho prefers the
silunt bnt destructive ilamo of the
torch to the detonation of dynamito.
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.
Ho knew nothing about It till this
morning. Ho thought Rossa might
have been aware of the plot. Ha
It nndonbtodly the work of the "la * .
vinclbles. "
