NEW YORK, Aug 2l.-The Times says that
the terms of agreement between the Western
Union and Atlantic and Pacific committees
are as follows
Keene & Sage are to turn over 71,ooo
shares Atlantic and Pacific stock at 20
TO VIM. Fl. Vanderbilt as trustee forthe Vest
ern Union Company. Vanderbilt, in return,
is to give them an equivalent in stock OF the
Western Union Company at r.
The two companies are to continue to carry
on business, and all outstanding contracts
are to be fulfilled. but the earnings OF both
are to be pooled, and the Atlantic and Pacific
is to receive one-eighth of the gross amount,
the Western Union retaining seven-eighths.
The country Is to be redistricted, superfluous
telegraph offices are to be consolidated, and
rates are to be raised to the old standard.

GEN. GOURKO's DEFEAT.
Heavy Loss to the Russians and the Anni-

LONDON, Aug. 21.--The Daily Ne,cs corre-
spondent telegraphs from Sistova, August 18,
q detailed account of the events which caused
Gen. Gourko's retreat. The account shows
that even Independently of the retreat being
necessitated by the disaster at Plevna, Gen;
Gourko's forces were completely overwhelmed
by superior forces of Turks, and although
the Russians gained brilliant victory at
Yeni Saghra on July 80, Gen. Gourko was
compelled to retreat on the following day,
although in sight Of Eski Saghra. where he
was obliged to leave the Bulgarian Legion,
who was operating as q separate body, to their
fate OF the Bulgarian Legion, which was
originally 1900 strong, only 400 or 800 man
aged to reach the Schipka Pass. Exclusive of
the Bulgarian loss, Gen. Gourko lost 5000 men
in the two days fighting of the Both and 31st
of July. During Gourko's retreat through
the narrow Dalbaka and Hainkoi passes,
which was accomplished on the I'd inst, the
wounded died like flies from the iolting OF the
conveyances and exposure. Hale men sue
cumbed from fatigue and sunstroke.
The Russian cavalry is now on this side OF
the Balkans.
Schipka Pass is strongly fortified and armed
with % guns and garrisoned by a regiment OF
the Eighth Division. Two regiments hold
Hainkoi Pass which presents a series of for
midable defenses.
