There are a set of chronic bcggars and

they have lien upon tho time and pro-

having been created. They meet you in

The Telegraph Arrangement.

New YORK Aug 81.
The agreement between the Western
Unlon and Atlantic and Pacific telegraph
Companies is solely In reference to pooling
rec, iprs. There was M transfer or sale OF
Allan ic and Pacific stock to the Western
Uuion managers. This di'poses of the
rumor that the Atlantic aud Pacific share
holders will ask an i. lnction to prevent q
transfer Of stock to the Western Union
c, m Jany.
President Orion of the Western Union
company says the agreement with the At
lan'ic and Pacific telegraph compan,
leaves each Its distinctive organiz .tion, but
the receipts are pooled, the Western
Union telegraph company to have S74 per
cent, and the Atlantic and Pacific ltle-
graph company 12t per cent. There is to
b, no nvahy. Bet~een this time and the
first of September The ground will be
looked over by the parties in interest, and
where there are two Cfflces in one place,
one will be abolished, and other measures
taken which may be consistent with true
economy and good service. II is also prob

of the country or of different countries to
