BOTH ARE In NEED.
WANANAKBR AND GREEN HAGGLING OVER
TELEGRAPH RATES.
Neither Can Afford 10 DO What The Other VANS
The Western Unions Reply to the Mil
Word ProposidOn-A Clear State
msnt.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Pfesident Green,
Of the Western Union, makes public long
and elaborate statement to-day, arguing
agsinst the demand of Postmaster General
Wanamsker that the company aoceept the
rate of one mill word for Government
Telegraph service. The card first explains
that the present rate is one cent a word
increasing for distances over 1000 miles,
the maximum being two and half cents
a word. The Postmaster General, it says,
has not the power to fix arbitrarily the
rate OF service. He is limited by the con
slitutiOnal provision that the property of
no citizen shall be taken without
a Just compensation therefor. The ques-
ticn then arose whether mill word was
juet compensation. The act of 1860
which allowed the Postmaster General 10
fix the rate, was the outgrowth of an
effort to induce the Government to es-
tablish a Telegraph system. The tele-
gcaph companies objected and a COM
promise was mad, by which the govern
ment reserved the right to take charge Of
the telegraph properties, paying for them
as appraised By srbitrat0Is, and the tele-
graph companies to give the government
priority Of service, at a rate to bs fixed by
the Postmaster General.
This power was never exercised by him
until 1871, when e conference with
the agents of the telegraph companies was
held, and an amicable arrangement
reached. The rate was fixed at twenty
words or less for distances Of 1000 miles
or less, aud enc cent for each additional
wo1d, and one-tenth of cent per word
for each additional 100 miles or fraction
thereof. It is for distances of about
LOCO miles - between Washing
ton and New York and st. Louis
and Chicago, scarcely one-hslf the rate paid
by the public on ourrent messages. For
distances of 800 miles and under it is
about thrse.fOurihs the commercial rate.
the western lines gross receipts for the
LAST fiscal year as shown by the annual re-
port we're Sl9, III, ,264l2, snd the current

leaving the profits 5000, 57l94, out Of
which $3.50. 25S 80 was paid for interest
and sinking fund on bonded debt, which
Is part of the capitalization. It will be
readily seen that the working
expenses without any return for
any part Of the capital employed, costs
within fraction OF 75 per cent. Of the total
earnings. II, therefore. the government
rate average less than 70 per cent Of the
rate to the public (as it undoubtedly does
then The government business is done at a
loss.
At the present rate the government is
saving about 500, 600 a year, and is b3iDg
served cheaper than any other customer
A further reduction in the government rate
would be at heavy less to the company,
and the only way it could be done would
be to increase rates to private consumers.

Digs Debsr the Spook Princess HES Her
self to Nunnery.
NEW YORK, July 29.-Madame E. L.
Diss Debar, has for the present al least,
disappeared from the public gaze, and will
seek within a convents wall retreat from
the cares and troubles of a 'Spook"
priestess' life. For about six weeks
she has been living at No. 13s, Wsverly
place, where she rented the ground floor
from a woman whom she introduced to
every one as Mrs Parker. Here she made
occasional small sums by painting pictures
She afterwards moved to West Thirty-ffth
street and then returned to ber first home.
Business was not good, and tbs spoOk
priestess cOnsoled herself in drink Her
temper was not of the best, and she treated
Mrs Parker so badly that that lady's son
compelled her to leave. Some friend,
hearing of the spOOk priestess' plight, took
her to Brooklyn convent, where she will
be cared for as long as she chooses to stay.
0nly few people know to what convent
she has been taken, and they refuse to say
which one it is, as their object in sending
her there was to give her retreat from
the gsze and comment of the world.

miliar one With physicians. The years of

result is rerv0us prOstration OF the most dis

stick. Yesterday afternoon it was COW

the flies into camp in great shape.
There we're several reasons why Wheel

Both teams were feeling pretty badly
from their long ride aud consequent loss OF

players were all before Justice of the

and he fined then each 81 and costs,
amounting 10 Sl.30 in each case.

he had with him was his voice, ard that
