Ratifying the Merger and Scheming for
Other Lines to Conquer.
NEW YORK, April 21.-The stOckhold-
ers of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany met to-day to ratify the lease of the
Mutual Union Telegraph company's lines
in accordance with the ruling of the court
There was only one dissenting voice. and
that came from Josiah c. Reiff, a holder
of one hundred shares of Western Union
stock. Through his lawyer he submitted
a written protest against any vote being
taken on various grounds, the principal
ones being because it was competing and
not a connecting line; that its consolidation
was contrary to law and in opposition 10
the constitutions of sundry States. He
protested also against the reception of
votes representing any of the $4,000, 900
increase in stock and claimed that the
stock was now so blended that it was i'm
possible to select the genuine from the
illegal. With the exception of this
