GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH RATES.
Special Agent Whitney Defends the Western
Union Against It's Opponents

WASHINGTON, Aug Pin the report given to
the press generally, last night by the Baltimore
d Ohio Telegraph Company, of the conference
OF representatives Of the telegraph companies
with the Postmaster general, relative to fixing
rates FOR government kilograms, for the current
fiscal year. is the following:
In reply to question, Mr. whitney stated that the
government received the benefit of the lowest rates
given by his company the Western Union to the pub
ic This assertion disproved by figures presented
BY both the Postmaster general and Mr.. Bates, etc
This reports incorrect My assertion was
not disproved, and cannot be disproved The
Postmaster general did not claim that the
Western Union charged more for government
than for messages of the public What
he did say was that he thought
the rates Of his order Of last
year, which was then under consideration,
would permit companies mot the Western
Union particularly, but all companies) to charge
more In some instances than was charged to the
puolc. IN reply to which it was stated that a
proViso IN the order itself stipulated that the
governments should not. in any case be COM
peiied to pay more than the public.
Mr. Bates, who represented the United Tele-
graph lines then stated that the Mutual lines
had cut under the rates of his own company,
and had offered to send messages for the public
to Chicago for twenty cents, and gave that as an
instance where the public had the benefit of
lower rates than the government asked
Mr. Bates if the Mutual Union lines
We're not subject to government rules
ana II the government did not get the benefit of
the reduction. He said: .'Ah, that is theory =
replied; 1t is practice with u.s. and that is the
extent to which my assertion was disproyed
The estimate that the government telegraph
amounts to half million of dollars per year
was made by MIR. Bates When asked how
he made it. He said he ascertained the
amount paid by all the departments at Wash
ington and jumped at the rest When asked
how big jump he made, he said he found the
amount paid at Washington to be $4,000
which includes all the teegraphiug done for
the Signal Service all over the conntry),
and thought there could be enough more TO make
the half million. The statement that the great
bulk of this amount goes into the
Golfers of the Western Union company at
rates fixed by themselves" is VIGOROUSLY
untrue. For thirteen years the rates have been
liked by the Postmaster general. If the bulk of
government business has been given to the West
ern Union, it is because government officers
chose that channel for its transmission

ers ware killed in the engagement.
Rumors are current that Egypt has notified
England that she has been bankrupt since yes
terday and has trouble to meet expenses.
General Wolseley will start for Egypt on Sum
day. proceed to Cairo, assume immediate com
mand of the forces in Egypt, and direct opera
lions for the relief of Khartoum.
All the newspapers approve the dispatch OF
General Wolseley to Egypt to assume chief
command of the troops there. The official an
nouncement of his appointment says the prepar
rations which have been in progress for some
weeks for the expedition up the Nile resemble,
in some degree, those adopted in 1870 for the
Red river expedition, which gave Welseley an
experience which no other officer possesses
There is some reason the hope that Major kitch
eners mission to Dongola will shortly afford
means Of opening communication with Gordon
sgain, but the government is of opinion, having
regard for the approach OF the cool season, thai
no time should be lost in proceeding to Kitchen
ers assistance in case his mission fails
The rebels attempted to cal ture Khartoum on
the 18th inst. and continued the attack until thu
18th, when General Gordon cleverly fanked
them. Many rebels were killed.
