CUTTING TELEGRAPH RATES.

WESTERN UNION COMING DOWN TO THE At
LANTIc AND PACIFIC coMpANY's FIGURES
To trace o Wall street rpmor HERALD reporter
called on President Orton OF the Western Union Tcc
graph Company, yesterday. When the nature Of the
rumor was stated to Mr. Orton-viz., 'That his com.
pany was going to outstrip the Atlantic and Pacific
lines reduction OF rates to Omaha and intermediate
stations Monday by ordering sun greater reduc-
ton, TO commence on Tuesday morning"-hc paused q
moment and then said, substantially, that his com
pany was not public benefit society. II purposed
doing fair, legitimate business. and when reports
circulated stating that II was gong 10 lead in
bringing about unreasonable reductions they may be
at once discredited.
~ can say this. however, he continued, 'that
Monday our rates shall BIO lowered TO meet the
reduction OF tho Atlantic and Pacific rates for, though
do not commence the reduction, wc shall come
down as they do on that OCCASION do not say what
wo may do on Tuesday, nor do know what they may
do. All wars mus; have end-this ono like the
rest"
After some comments the published reports OF
the competing line Mr. Orion said II is at present los
ing 81, 900 day. The Western Union Company he
stated not nearly SO seriously Affected BY the reduc.
ton It's prices are put down only TO competing
points, and the losses consequent on these consider
abc Reductions he estimated TO be about twenty-five
per cent OF those OF the Atlantic and Pacific Company
While the Atlantic and Pacific Company Is TO charge
only twenty-five cents to all It's Offices between New
York and Omaha. tho Western Union Company will
only make tho reduction to the points where tho other
company has Offices, charging old rates to points
where thcrc Is no competition The contest as II
stands Is interesting and while the
lose the public reap tho gain.
