BALTIMORE, Aug 10.-Cable de-
spatches which have passed between
Cyrus W. Field and Robert Garrett,
relating TO the rumored negotiations
for the purchase of the Baltimore &
OHIO wires by the Western Company,
are furn ished for publication to might,
and effectualIy dispose OF these alleged
negotiations, but indicate that the
companies are likely to make pooling
arrangement.
From these dispatches 1t appears
that on August 6 6CyrusField wired from
London to Robert Garrett at Nuremberg
ask ing Mr.. Garrett, at Russell Sage's
suggestion, for what the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Company would sell
it's wires outright for money; II 1t would
not sell, on what terms Mr.. Garrett
would accept . pooling OF other agree
ments on fair basis, sug gesting that
the companies agree to I'D vance tar ifs
At once, and proposing that If the com.
panies remain separate it be under q
fair and binding agreement.
Mr.. CARROTS answer, dated August
8, was "that the Baltimore u
Ohio Company declines, as heretofore,
to sell its lines, which are not for sale
at any price" He also declined the
proposition to advance rates. The
answer was delivered through John
Pender, and was supplemented by
despatch direct from Mr.. Garrett to
Mr.. Field, suggesting that he cable to
America " contradic letting absolutely the
lies which have been ciruulated," con-
cerning relations and negotiations
between the the two companies, and in
effect threatening, in the event such
contradictions were not made, to make
public Mr.. Fields despatch Of the 9th.
On August s John Pender cabled DR..
Green at New York, noting tie ad-
vance in Western Union stock and
| denying the rumor current In America
that Mr.. Garrett had approached Mr..
Field with an offer " sell tie Balti-
more and Ohio lines to the Western
Union Company as q settlement of
the existing state of things with the
land lines" Mr.. Pender referred to the
fact that he had a5led DIR. Green after
the interview with Mr.. Garrett, say
ing that he thought pooling arrange
ment like the Atlantic and Pacific
and the American Union purchase as a
basis of settlement might be negotiated,
and added that DIR. Green's informa
tion on the subject obtained elsewhere
had evidently been inaccurate. Mr..
Pender added that Mr.. Garrett's con-
duct had been perfectly open through.
out.
The correspondence is published at
Robert Garretts request by cable to-
day from Nuremberg to President
Bates, of the Baltimore and Ohio.
There is nothing In the dispatches to
indicate that Mr.. Garrett had rejected
the proposition for pooling arrange.

LONDON, Ang. 10.-All the morning
papers to-day publish oOpious accounts
Of the funeral of Gen. Grant. All
agree that the outpouring of the people
on the occasion aud their deep grief as
indicated by the dispatches were some
thing wonderful. The Times has q
special dispatch three columns long
detailing the scenes and incidents OF
the funeral, and ALEC prints a leading
editorial praising and recalling many
personal traits of the General. 1t ex-
presses unbounded admiration for the
conduct Of the American people con-
cerning the burial of Gen. Grant, and
pronounces the fuDerala Spontaneous
Outburst of national admiration and
gratitude, which, although 1t can do
nothing for It's actual object, Is not
therefore the less to lie commended. I"
In conclusion the Times says: "No
other nation and no former period
could have afforded the materials for
such procession as that of Saturday,
or even the ph ysicial conditions which
enabled its members to come tc-
gether"
