Washington, Feb. 86.—Dr. Norvin Green, of the Western Union Telegraph compear, accompanied by ex-Attorney General Gwynne, of Maryland, appeared before the senate committee on poet offices and post roads. Dr. Green said that the interrogations submitted to him by the committee embraced oertain questions which he oould not properly answer, especially those respecting contracts. He hoped that the committer would not insist upon the production of thC Western Union contracts. He was not authorised to produoe them, and would not do so unless the other parties consented. He had already furnished the contract with ths Associated Press, and even that was producing its effect ou the company, and everj one not having terms as favorable as thoet given the Associated Press were "coming down" on the company for similar terms. There was nothing in the Associated Press contract to debar a similar association doing as large a business from enjoying equally favorable rates, and individual newspapers, whothar in one association or another, ar« given the same rates and treated alike. Chairman Hill asked witness if' he would produce the c-ntracts with the Associated Press which were mentioned in the twelfth clause of the contract furnished the committee as being it. 1'. in force.

Ilowgate's Escape. Washington, Feb. 36.—Mr. John S. Wise, the Readjuster congressman from Virginia, before Mr. Sherman's sub-committee, was going on to say that the negroes have mors intelligence than they receive credit for. For instance, they had pronounoed - and intelligent views on the question of protection and free trade. Mr. Vance said this had nothing to do with the questions, and a little personal controversy occurred between the witness and the cross-examiner on politics and protection. Mr. Wise charged the senator with being a Know-Nothing when he first knew him. "You," retorted Mr. Vance, "were a Secession Democrat when you first knew me." "I was then nine years old," exclaimed the Wjuwtnwton, Feb. 96.—Monday being bill day in the house, the usual number were prreented and referred, and the committee labors continued during the aeasion of the home.

Clasping her left band over tb* wound and pushing the man away with her right the girl gasped: "Don't shoot again, Denny! Don't kill me." Then, still clutching the wound and partially staying the flow of blood, she led him to the corner a few yards away, and said: "I am dying, but I forgive you. Go! Escape!" Hennelly left her and she staggered back to the bouse, where she was employed as • nurse girl in tho family of Mrs. Marks, in in front of whose house the tragedy occurred. The courage she displayed immediately after being wounded is something remarkable. From the first she made uo outcry, and concealed her injury as well as she could during the night, fearing, as she afterward said, that Hennelly might return and kill her; but in the morning; her agony became intolerable, and she informed Mrs. Marks what had hapnenod. Dr. FrieJenberg, of No. 216 East Sixt enth street was at once sent for. He exumi led the wound and pronounced it to be of a very serious character and probably fatal. Hennelly was easily captured and after being fully identified by his victim was locked up to await the result of her injuries. The men on the dock came to Bird's aid and took the rax ;r from Qillespie's band. Hs had nearly severed his head from his body, and in a few minutes expired from hit wounds. yjan.es E. Richardson.

The subject of disclosing the contracts was then passed for the time, and witness proceeded to tell the committee that the company owned 348,817 miles of wire, aud controlled 83,909 miles. During the last year the free business of the company aggregated 1,689,306 messages, seven-eighths of which was railroad business. "This, in fact," said witness, "cannot be classed as free business, as there is some return made for it. The company operated 25,550 instruments. Witness could not give the number oi operators employed. The entire rent paid by the company last year amounted to $392,831. At least $140,(XX should be adde3 to that amouut for buildings owned by the company. Mr. Gardner HuP bard desired to ask witness a question, where upon Dr. Green protested, adding that he did not think it fair for the committee to allow persons who are trying to embarrass the company he represents to put questions to him. The chairman thought that as Mr. Hubbard bad made the subject one of much study he would not ask an improper question. Mr. Hubbard disclaimed having ever intentionally wronged either the gentleman or hid company. He said he would put his question through the chairman later on. Dr. Green thought the Page patent one of the most valuablo ones owned by the company; could not give any details about the patents of the company. Witness gave in detail the expenditures of the compauy for last year, among which were the following; $5,012,782 for salaries, $703,341 for messengers, $939,616 for linemen and repairs, $181,708 for superintendents, on I $285,31)8 for reconstruction.

The report that El Mahdi was marching toward Khartoum is confirmed. He liberated twelve mefnbers of the Catholic mission before leaving El Obeid, receiving a ran som of £2,800 through the Austrian con svl at Khartoum. El Mahdi's inacion after his victory at El Obold is explained by t e fact that, finding that the sheiks of the principal tribes wished to go home with their spoils in order to attend the hy vest, he p oc'aimed a holy truce during the months of Moharrem and Safar, ending on the anni versary of the birth of the Prophet. The time having expired, the tribes have re assembled and the campaign has been re sumed.

It provides a pension for all soldiers who served during the war of the rebellion in the military or naval service for the period of six months and were honestly discharged, provided they are now disabled.
