lican oniccholdcrs and political managers who
obnncd thcir kilograms from tho Western
Union Telegraph Company had the floor to-day
t. explain. The first to tell his story was Thos.
j. Brady then and now Second Assistant Post
mastcr-Goncral. He had already told how he
tad ahstrnctcd his kilograms while they were
IN the possession Of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections. To-day he appeared
to produce tho kilograms ho had alb
: stracted. and translated them He said
he produced all he could find. and that he did
ind either relay copies or originals Of all he
had distracted. lie could not however, sntis-
factorily account for his not being ahle to find
the originals. which hc admitted lie had taken.
He had separated tho originals from the copies
inst when he could not say and why he had
made this separation he could not explain.
There wero but three cipher dispatches in the
lot produced. and they were transposition ci-

work right This difficulty Brady snid the
Committees expert doubtless could remedy and
explain He was Just little worried when
Mcmahon insisted upon questioning him about
this failure OF his key to work on all the de-
spatches. II must however. be admitted that
Brady has gotten out OF q bad scrape rather
creditably. OF course the suspicion must re-
main that there is something moro behind
that has not been explained. A man in
his position does not surreptitlousy abb
something in them that he was afraid

day that he need care fig about: Why. then

The explanation Of Mr.. Tyner was very neat
nnd IN the essentials altogether complete. He
came tuly armed with not only the despntch"s

had furnished tho telegraph company when he
asked leaye to withdraw them. and the schedule
with which the manager Of the company accom-
panied the surrendered despaiches. The de-
