lows; John 6. Moore, George w. Ballou,
George T. Baker, Jay Gould. Russell Sage,

Charles F. Peck. The election of Gould and
his friends to the Board of Directors Of the
Mutual Union settles the question OF the
future relations of the two companies. They
are to be friendly, and cooperative and con-
sentative in business. This election was
freely made, without the presence of Gould,
who is at Irvington. The Western Union
Telegraph Company has scored another i'm
por.ant business victory Since the leasing
of the cables and the formation OF pool,
that company has been locking to perma-
nent establishment in London. The con-
tracts and interior lines leading into London
have been confirmed to the Western Union.
Negotiations for the Surrender OF Frank
James.
ST. LOUIS, May 29.h.-The Post Dispatch
will publish statement this afternoon,
showing that Governor Crittenden has been
in negotiation with Frank james for the past
ten days for his surrender, and that the
noted outlaw will be pardoned within week.
Sheriff 1imberlake and Police Commissioner
Craig. of Kansas City, the attorney repre-
sentipg the James family, accompanied by
st. Louis Friday and Saturday. 1t is stated
that Frank james has nominally surrendered
to Sheriff Undertake under nag OF
truce, and that Governor Crittenden has
promised full and unconditional pardon to
the famous outlaw. Sheriff Undertake was
registered here at the hotel under an assumed
name, but was recognized by Post Dispatch
reporter, and both Police Commissioner Craig
and the attorney admitted that negotiations
g. nd
They were in st. Louis for the express pur-
pose of meeting Governor Crittenden on
his return from New York, but the
latter passed right through to Jefferson
City. They further stated that the delay in
the negotiations is occasioned by friends Of
Frank James insisting that full pardon should
also be secured from the Governors of Min
nesota and Texas, where the outlaw is under
the ban Of the law, and steps are now being
taken TO that end. These psrdons are neces-
sary, for fear that Crittenden's successor
might deliver up Frank James on a requisi-
ton from either of ssid States. There is
| scarcely doubt that the negotiations will be
successfully contaminated.
