DR.. Green Again Examined.

DIR. Novan Greene's examination before
the sub committee of the Senate committee
on Post Office and Post Roads was continued
TODAY.
His counsel objected to furnish copies OF
the contract betw cen the Western Union and
Railroad Companies and press associations.
Greene declined to furnish information re-
earding the receipts from the gold and stock
Telegraph Company, and cable contracts and
other sources of revenue. and also copies Of
cable contracts He said there was nothing
he was not willing the committee should
know. bat declined to answer on general
principles.
DR. Green said that he had published or
ders that all newspapers be entitled to special
rates and treated alike. There had been pro-
visions in the press association contract that
they should use Western Union lines when
ever lines were in condition, but this had
not prevented the Herald or Tribune or Times
from taking messages from other lines. There
was a feafu-e in the contract that they should
not be entitled to reduced rates. that is, rates
for special service, unless they did patronize
the Western Union exclusively, or suhstan-
TALLY so, but that that had been abolished bv
general order. and all newspapers were now
entitled TO the same rates for special reports.
DIR. Green denied the truth of the report
that proposi itions were being entertained for
amslgsmation of the Western Union and
Baltamore Ohio Telegraph Company.
