CHICAGO, Aug. GA New York spe-
cial SAYS: II had talk with Bonanza |
Mackay about the new concern day or |
two ago. The company has transferred |
$4,000, 600 of its stock to the mining |
king, which gives him 100000 over
the CONT ding interest. The company,
Mackay tells me, will be run in oonnec
ton with new cable company, foster
ed bv Alderman Headlev, Of London,
Who was over hers a little while ago.
The work of pushing this company for
ward will go ahead very rapidly now.
Branches are being established from
Dean, n Y, to the oil region. A large |
force Is also at work joining Chicago
and St. Louis. Almost Immediately
steps are TO be taken towards San Fran
cisco, and inside of eight months the /
Postal Comp ny will be in complete |
working order. The principles adopted |
by the English government for the tel |
egraph system is that uniform charges |
are to be- made, whether messages are |
sent only across the street or from New |
York 10 San Francisco. These charges |
will be twentyfi five cents for twenty |
words, and Que cent for every addition |
al Word. A good feature Of tho scheme |
il the issuing OF stamps for various |
sums, with which to prepay messages |
Mackay says Fair, his former partner, |
may go into the affair, and he believes
il will prove an immensely money max |
ing scheme, because the public will have
confidence in its permanency, by asnn
OF clause in the charter forbidding the |
company from consolidating with any
other for II period of 1T least twenty
years"

saltati0n over something or other. but |
yesterday it transpired that Willard was |
taken into the confidence of the two, |

''Whas would be Gould's actual inter |

His southwestern system takes In the |
Texas and Paciiic, Kansas and Texas,
Missouri Pacific and the Wabash Pa
cifc. The Wabash furnishes his nearest
point for an eastern outlet, the terminus
being ut Toledo, right ON the lake
shore. He wanted the Nickel Plated
road, but Vanderbilt stole the march
on him, ana bought it. His transfer il
~ bridge over the gap between Toledo
and Buffalo, and this he can only over
come by coalition with Vanderbilt,
and get it by the way Of the Nickel
Plate. Vanderbilt oan serve Willard by
way of the Northwestern, which goes
right to st. Paul. Willard only claims
for his system that IL affords n grand
connecting link between the great in
