,Br TELEGRAPH 10 TIE TnIBUSE.i
Albany April 12-Tbere is an air OF mystery about
the Senate thieves tonight. They decline to say
what they are going to do In regard TO the Maynard
investigation but there signs that they are eos
10 do something They change their minds aDou'
every five minutes To-day they had IA wellmntured
plan to make report at all but TO let the matter
drop and to stlne every attempt OF the Republicans
10 bring II up Their idea that II they MADE no
report, the minority would not be able to make one
. and, as they believed In the damaging quaiIty
OF the minority report more than In the efficacy
OF their own, they adopted this pan buo
II was quickly made known to them that the Kepuo-
licans would issue the minority report not TO the
Legislature then to the people directly The Repuo'
Ican leaders do not intend TO allow this matter TO
be stned no matter what tricks Sheehan and Cantor
may resort to.
At the last meeting of the investigating committee
Senator SaxtOns motion to subpoena certain VIII
nesses whose testimony the Republicans thought neces'
sary to The establishment OF all the iac'S
was met by motion to adjourn
an old-time Tammany trick-and TINS
motion prevailed. Senator Roeseh. at a
previous meeting had promised the Republicans uia'
they might examine all the witnesses they pleased
and this promise senator Cantor had confirmed WIN
out qualifca ion. But when Senator saxton formally
expressed his DESIRE Senator RoeSch sat silent Id Ills

swer was made to Mr. saxton's request. The Demo
Gratis simply cut him off By adjournment Tonight the
