At q banquet of the corn and -four exchange
tonight. John Gannett made a lengthy speech
in the course of which he said: 'sThe re-
markable combination which occurred recent
" of all cable interests between Europe and
the U. S. by which the charges are greatly
ipcre sed and under which the lines were
subjected to the supervision of the Western
Union Co. In order to test whether any
variation could be effected from this extraor-
dinary plan application was made on behalf
of the Baltimore & Ohio Co. to the manager
of the direct L. S. cable. of iich the dis
tinguished John Pender of London, is presi-
dent, whether the Baltimore Ohio Co.
could forward cabiegrams to France bv that
company without going through the hands of
the Western Union Telegraph Co, as unless
assurance could be obtained Baltimore and
Ohio would prefer to use the mails.
Response to this inquiry was that this
could only be done with the understanding
that should these cablegrams contain any-
thing affecting the Western Union Co. in
any way it would be the privilege of that
company to instead them and that all the
cablegrams received from the other side are
sent direct to the Western Union main of
6ce and from there distributed. In order
to carry out an independent system of tele-
graph for the United States, not only by
land. but also by ocean. 1t was determined
to construct cable for the transmission
of messages in connection with the Baltimore
and Ohio land system, and have the salts
faction of saying to you gentlemen so inter-
ested in the privacy and effective handling of
European cables that upon the plan being
presented to the leading capitalists in Lon
don and the United States they Immediately
subscribed all the money requisite for the
prompt making of the cable between Europe
and the United States. With all the latest i'm
provements and of the most reliable charac-
ter, and that this cable will be promptly built
in the best manner and at the lowest cost.

willing to have his competitor Lynch
counted out of a seat in congress, has as
an Independent been cheated out of his
election by the Mississippi democrats.
1t now appears that the votes intended for
him were rightly spelled, but that in the
returns of one county about fifteen hun
dred ballots given for him were set down
-carelessly or purposely- as given for
u. K. Chambers and this fact was
concealed. so that no opportunity for cor
recting the returns was afforded. Doubt
