respondent afterward asked Mr. Buckner what, II
any, provision would be made to allow banks to de-

REDUCTION IN TEL EGRAPH RATES.

The Western Union Telegraph Company yester
day reduced its rates for messages between New
York and Philadelphia and Baltimore and interme-
date places The reduction makes the rates uniform
with those of the American Union and Atlantic and
Pacific Companies They are Is cents for message
of ten words between this city and Philadelphia,
aud 25 cents for q similar message between this
city and Baltimore. These have been the rates on
the American Union lines for the last five or SIX
months and the competition was met by adopting
the same rates OF the Atlantic and Pacific lines but
the Western Union has now quickened the rivalry
between the two companies by making the same
rates on llh own lines.
