TELEGRAPH REDUCTION.
n Reduction ia Prices That May Lead to
LeaEthy War Between Rival Lines.

a Reduction ia Prices That May Lead to
LeaEUhy War Between Rival Lines.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 16.-The most
important news on the stock market was the
announcement that ali immediate reduction
in telegraph rates would be made by the
Baltimore q Ohio, the Postal, and the
Bankers & Merchants Geographic cOmbina-
ton to Western cities. This Is the actual
beginning of what promises to be
great telegraph war, with the three
companies above mentioned on one
side and the Western Union On
the other. In a stock market which had
not lost all sense of shock from repeated
violent blows such a prospect would have
influenced prices, but Western Union did
not fiuctuate more than on an ordinary day,
aud was strungat the close. The new rival
lines are quite powerful corporations, and
the Western Union is a splendidly
equipped and wonderfully organized sys
TEN, with reserve of financial strength
The fight will interest the public in
giving it the cheapest and best telegraphic
service in the world The contest will be
bitter, and probably long one The effect
on the earnings of the companies AT first
glance would seem to be to very greatly de-
crease them, but "a cheapening of the tolls
between great .centerS has frequently re-
suited ina profit from an increasing business.
While it is known just what the result OF a
railroad war would be in this respect, the re-
suit of competition between telegraph COIN
panieS is prOblematical.

On the Defense.

The "aggressive'' campaign which
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine was to be
the signal for beginning is little back
ward in coming forward. The plumed
knight, booted, spurred and lance
armed, was to start forth on his war
horse and ride down all opposition.
The mighty man from Maine was to
annihilate the Democracy with one
glance of his large eye. and the earth
was to tremble under the cavortings OF
his battle steed. His feet were to De
dipped in the blood of his enemies, and
when all was over there was to be
case in which the tr:umphs of the hero
could be fifty commemOrated only in
tablet like those which remind us OF
the mighty deeds of Egyptian Kings of
the twelfth dynasty. But the game
does not open. The spectators are al
assembled, and the curtain has
been rung up, but the booted and
Squared hero is not on the stage. Instead,
there is pitiable picture of a skulk-
inc figure fitting round the scenery
and trying to dodge a shower of his
own letters thrown at him from unseen
hands-those fatal letters TO his ''dear"
friend Fisher, in which he urgently
pleads for recognition of his service
in saving the Fort Smith Il Little Rock
Railroad grant by timely decision as
Speaker. The knights plume is droop-
ing. There is no blood On his lance
head. His heroic knees are shifting
one another. He is kept so busy feel
ing his own wounds that he hasn't had
time to infiict wounds on his enemies.
The defiant ha! hal which. like Jobs
war-horse, he was to fling in the face OF
his foes, has been flung into has face
and he doesn't know what to do with it.
He has not yet attempted to confront
the Democracy. The stingings and
rowelings of handful of enemies in
his own camp furnish him with all he
can do. His campaign is a defensive
one-and very sorry defensive one at
that.-St. Louis Republican.

who has been here a short time. The young
ladies are employed in q millinery store, and

a VIGOROUS attack on him from both tanks

blows from the whip in the hands of the
Professor, but while the latter was attend

The Cholera.

MARSEILES, July 1S.-AlthOugh the
number of deaths on Wednesday from chol-
era was considerably less than the six pre-
cedIng days, the panic remains unchecked,
and people are still leaving the city. Since
the first appearance of the plague here it is
estimated that no less than fifty thousand
people have fled from their homes. Tar
barrels are still being burned at night to
purify the air, and the great clouds of smoke
arising from the blazing piles floats lazily
over the city. No rain has fallen for many
days. Foul gases emanate from the
parched earth, and the streets present
deserted appearance. The death-cartS
rattle over the clustering pavement with
painful regularity. Relatives of the
victims of the scourge seldom accom-
pany the remains to the grave. Nearly all
the business houses in the city have been
closed because of the utter StaghatiOn In
trade Many merchants, unable to meet
debts contracted in Paris and Lyons, have
gone nto bankruptcy. In the quarter
where tie cholera first took up its march
through this city, many sad scenes are en-
Gated. Here the streets are narrow and
dirty. The buildings on either size bear
evidences of age. The people live in
suualor and filth, and here the death1ate is
heaviest. Whole families have been ami
hilated within one week, and many OF those
who assisted in their burial have also fallen
victims to the plague. Chloride of lime
and other diSinfectantS have been Sprlnkled
along these dirty lanes. No good has yet
resulted from these eleventh-hour precau-
tons, however. and the plague still
finds plenty of material to feed upon
in the novels reared in this densely 'popu-
lated district Statistics complied at the
office of the Royal Medical Society show the
number of deaths from cholera III this city
since the outbreak of the plague to be five
hundred and seyenty-eight-an average of
nearly twenty-five day. The money voted
by the Chamber of Deputies for the relief
of the sufferers will be available by the first
of next week. 4 large portion OF the
amount, it is thought, will be used i'll carry
ing out the projects of the sanitary officials.
