The Telegraph Investigation.
NnNApnI EypNSEn

WASHINGTON, March "a The house
committee on postoffices and postroads
conducting the telegraph investigation
to- day began its inquiry concerning
the alleged attempts OF the Western
Union Telegraph company to ceerce
newspapers in the western states into
making exclusive contracts, etc L
G. Mayors appeared III behalf of the
Kansas City Times and Kansas City
Journal, and submitted a statement by
J. A. Mann, secretary and business
manager of the Journal, and letter
from Morrison Munford, proprietor OF
the Times and several communlca-
tions that had passed between the
latter and the Western Union man
ayers relative to the news contracts OF
the Times. Mapn's statements were
read TO the committee. Its principal
parts are substantially as follows
Through a course of years the news
papers of Kansas City have been al
the mercy of the Western Union
Telegraph company. With the con-
solidation eff that company and the
American Union and the Mutual
Union companies scme five years
since the extreme measures character
istic of the Western Union have
increased. Their form of contracts
had contained a clause or clauses
binding the papers TO use the Western
Union lines and no others under
penalty, and the provisions
we're designed to blind the party of
the second part unalterably to the use
of the Western Union. The press of
Kansss City either had to succumb
for the want of adequate facilities or
to yield to the Western Union. 1t is
believed with good reason by the
writer that no. a single rate agree
nent bad been made by any paper
with Ibis company In five years ex.
cept under protest and that in every
one of the contracts the publisher
signed away his right to fair compe
titlon
SPIES IN SOME INSTANCES
were employed to follow my messen-
gers to learn the sources from which
the matter got 70 u.s. There were
clauses in sundry other contracts by
which we are now held, provided all
others fail. The delivery TO Us even of
our regular press revort was threaten
ed to be withheld by the Western
Union if sre failed to give the Western
Union all of our special business.
This j,opardized the foundation OF
our telegrAphic service. We had
violated the repugnant contracts only
after long and weary efforts TO Erst
obtain . fair measure of relief ut the
hands of the Western Union Com.
| many. We were threatened that un.
less We signed these contract

grew out of the fact that the secretary

the cabinet meeting. He had been
working all day without any nourish-

He walked up two flights
of stairs and on reaching the top was
attacked with vertigo, and partly fell
and partly sat down. His sudden
illness alarmed his friends and he was
taken home. His mind was perfectly
clear and he had free use of all his
limbs and gave very clear account
of every thing that occurred. Two or

overwork He has been working very
hard, and had a great many things
on his mind lately, and the result was
this prostration. In spite of the hope
