He Refuses to Divulge the Business Sc
crets of the Western Union Company.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Dr. Green.
President Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, was to-day again before the
Senate Subcommittee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, which seeks information con-
cerning the business of the telegraph
company. Senator HilFs efforts were
directed to eliciting from DR.. Green
a statement of the revenue of
the company from the Gold and
Stock Telegraph Company, cable CON
tracts and various outside sources. but
DIR. Green refused to answer on general
principles. He regarded the questions a.
InqulsitOrial in their nature. In reply to
direct inquiry from Senator Hill, DR..
Green said that about two years ago ne
gotlatiOns between the Western Union
and Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com
panies had progressed SO far that con-
tracts were actually signed, when the
return from Europe of John w. Garrett
knocked the arrangements into a cooked
hat. Senator Hill asked DR.. Green to
produce, among other contracts, those
with the Press Association. These also
were refused on several grOunds-that
they were not in his individual custody:
tldl Iucy were under Ine control OF the
Executive Committee of the company:
that it would not be right to make them
public without the consent of the
other party to the contract, and
that neither the subcommittee nor the
full committee had a right or power to
compel the witness to produce said con-
tracts. The Doctor said, however, that
if the time should come when the govern
ment decided to purchase the Western
Union COmpany's property, the latter
would produce all the information of the
kind in dispute before board ofappraise-
ment. Senator Hill indicated the purpose
of calling William Henry Smith, General
Manager of the Associated Press, to ap-
pear before the committee.

THE SPEAKERS GAVEL.
How Excited Statesmen Break IL

How Excited Statesmen Break the
Handle.
1t has been customary, by courtesy, for
retiring Speaker to take with him the
gavel he has used, to keepas relic in his
family, says Washington letter, so a
new one must be made for each Speaker
elected. The new one made for the pres
ent Speaker has very plain, stout round
hickory handle, about ten inches long.
It's mallet is stout piece of ivory, about
five inches in circumference, and on either
end are two blue circles. The first
handle made for this new gavel
was fancy one Of ebony, with
various projections and ihdentatiOns.
making it very weak in certain places:
so at the last moment a new handle had to
be made, lest the new Speaker should
break the ebony one the first time he used
it with emphasis. He is not a man, how
ever, given to acting on violent impulses
or easily provoked to anger on any occa-
sion. Two of those, however, whom he
has within few weeks called to take his
place in the chair have broken the strong
handle Of the new gavel. Once the NAL
let end flew off the handle and just missed
striking one Of the clerks at the table in
front OF the Speakers desk upon the head.
Such blow from the heavy piece of ivory
would have been painful if not serious in
its effects

LoNDoN's DYNAMITE SCARE.
Official Circles of Course Intimating "A
Fenian Outrage.

CAASAOo VI OOuIsC AnllDldilnk u
Fenian Outrage.
LONDON, Feb. 26-TwO reports accom-
panied the dynamite explosion at the
Victoria station, mentioned in this MORN
ing's dispatches, the noise being like that
of discharge from a cannon, and was
followed by an immediate rushing of
flames. The booking office. cloak room
and waiting room were completely shat
tered, and are confused mass of debris.
Luckily all the trains had ceased running
and only few persons were about the
station. The explosion shattered the win
dOws of the Metropolitan Underground
Railway depot, sixty yards distant, and
the fronts of houses for the same distance
in other directions were badly damaged.
The refreshment room was wrecked. and
a clock eight feet high blown from the
wall and thrown six yards away. The
streets i'm the neighbOrhOod are completely
strewn with broken glass. A numerous
force, police and the fire brigade
quickly reached the spot and quenched
the fire, thus saving the depot. The de-
bris was left untouched till the arrival of
Col. Majendie, Chief Inspector of Explo-
sives, who made thorough examination
of the explosion. Detectives are actively
Inquiring into the matter. All three hy-
pOtheses-gas, gunpOwder and dynamite
are advanced and discussed, dynamite
being the favOrite theory.
UNDOUBTEDLY DYNAMITE.
An officer, who claims familiarity with
dynamite, entered the office few minutes
after the explosion and detected the smell
of burned dynamite. The theory that the
explosion was caused by dynamite gains
further confirmation from the fact that the
grealest damage was done laterally. The
iron railing guarding the stairs near the
cloak room was snapped asunder and
twisted into grOtesque shapes. Only two
persons were injured and they slightly.
The officials of the railway discredit the
idea that the explosion was the result of
private malice, as the cost of the material
would deter a discharged servant from
thus retaliating. 1t is generally attribut-
ed to the persons who caused the explo-
sion in the Praedt street statiOn'of the Tn
dergrOund Railway some months ago.

Favorable. Report of the Bin Driving
Newspapers from the Mails.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Wilson
reported fayorably to-day, with amend
ments, from the Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads, the bill introduced bv
Senator Sawyer to prohibit the mailing Of
newspapers and other publications con-
tanning lottery advertisements. The bill.
as it was introduced, provided that it
should be unlawful to deposit in any mail
receptacle, postal car, or post office, or to
convey by mail, or give to any employe of
the postal service to be sent by mail, any
newspaper, pamphlet, or other publica-
ton containing an advertisement or other
notice of a lottery drawing, and pre-.
scrlbed penalties for the violation of these
provisions. The prohibitions contained
IN the original bill are retained in the bill
as reported, but the bill is amended bV
striking out the penalty sections and
substituting therefor the following:
Amy person engaged in publishing a news
paper as owner or part owner, proprietor
agent, manager or superintendent. agent
president, or other officer connected there
with, and any person engaged in conducting
Il lottery as an owner or as part owner, and
any person connected Herewith as superin-
tendent, manager. agent. or in any other
capacity violating the provisions Of this act
upon conviction thereof, shall be liable to
line for each onense of not less than 5000 with
The costs of the prosecution, or imprlson-
ment for not less than 30 days nor more than
year. or both, at the discretion of the courl.
1t is also amended by the addition of a
section, as follows:
IAN other persons not embraced in the fore
going section who shall violate the. provisions
OF TINS act with the intent to give circulation
TO any advertisement or notice of a lottery or
any agency thereof, or any notice, report or
statement of any drawing Of a lottery, shall
lie subject to the penalty prescribed in the
first section OF this act"
The minority report, signed by Senators
Jackson, MaXey and Groome, opposes the
bill on constitutional grounds. 1t is a
very long argument, most of which is that
the general government has no power to
suppress gambling in any State, and con-
sequently no power to prohibit the use of
mails to newspapers published in States
which contain lottery advertisements.

Stir up Lively Rumpus.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Mr. Phelps, Of
New Jersey, will report back tomorrow
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs
the resolution Of inquiry of Representa-
tive Brumm as to whether the Minister of
any foreign power had endeavored to null
lify the effect of any unanimous resolution
of the House by reflections on the honor
and integrity of its members. The report
will say that the committee could find
no evidence, and ask to be discharged
from further consideration of the subject.
The presentation of the report is looked
forward to with interest, owing to the
probability that the occasion may be used
by either Mr.. Hewitt or Mr.. Belmont to
transfer to the floor Of the House the per-
sonal controversy which was waged be-
tween them last week in the committee
room. An effort may be made to recon-
NIT the resolution to the committee, with
instructions to make further inquiry
Such motion would be strenuouslv re-
sisted by the committee, who think that
they have done all their duty in the premi-
ses, and in the contention others than the
gentlemen named may be brought into
lively debate.
