New York. May 24.-Battles in the world with such financial giants as the Goulds and Russell Sage on the one hand and the leading men of the Pennsylvania Railroad System on the other have crystalized into an or der by the Pennsylvania road comman- ding the Western Union Telegraph Co to vacate the offices and right of way of the railroad.
 It is the reported plan to give the contract heretofore held by the West ern Union people to the Postal Tele- graph Co.,, and MT. Mackay, of the lat ter corporation, is hastening eastward from the Pacific coast.
 While more or less emphatic denials O. the breach were made by officials of the companies concerned, Wall street credited the reports. as shown by the fact that stocks of the Pennsylvania and minor companies owned or con- trClled by these interested suffered on the stock exchange.
 For some time the Goulds. who own probably one-tIlird of the capital of the Western Union company. have been making aggressive incursions into the Pennsylvania railroad territory. The extension of the Wabash road to Pitts burg was q blow aimed at Pennsylva- nia interests by the Goulds.
 The more recent purchase of the Western Maryland road by the Fuller syndicate, which is considered only an other name for Gould. brought the a,f- fair to q crisis. The Pennsylvania had bid $2,000.0G0 for the interest in the Western Maryland. owned by the city

FERNIE MINE
 DISASTER
It Is Possible That One Hundred and
 Seventy Five Lives Were Lost.

Fcrnie. B. C., May 24.-The loss of life in the Coal Creek mines on Thurs day was even greater than at first re- ported. It is estimated that from 150 to 175 men met instant death.
 The work of rescue was made difficult by the presence of fire damp and the destruo ton Of nearly all the air pipes. Every few minutes men would collapse but their places were taken by fresh volunteers.
 The first body recovered was taken from No. mine. and was that of Will lie Robertson. a lad e. 13. Three more bodies were found several hours later. None of the victims gave the slightest sign of life.
 Rescue work is proceeding slowly on account of gas. \ report that the mine Was on fire yesterday checked work but it proved incorrect. So far forty bodies have been recovered from the main shafts some were killed by fire and some by rocks. and others by after damp and gas. Many bodies are badly scared. Gas overcOmes the rescuars often. Doctors are working night and day.

JUMPED ABOUT. Until He Found the Right Food.

What hades some people 70 through because their food does not supply the right kind of nourishmant to the body. Take the following for example:
 A gentleman in Baltimore says: About two years ago I began to ex- pcrience a peculiar depression Occa- siCnaIly with pains in the back part of my head and down along the spine. Gradually my eyesiGht began to faIl and my memory grew poor A general nervousness set in. 1 used all the will power l could command to help myself but was forced to give up d good pO- sition and seek the advice of the fam fly doctor. He said neurasthenia and sent me to great nerve specialist. So for four months l was massaged and dosed with medicine. but all to no ben eft: then I went to New York and consulted Dr. - He sent me to In- other great specialist, and he in turn sent me to Sanitarium where I stayed for q long time.
 It vas the same old story. l was dosed with medicine and massaged 1ni bathed. Finally I left there and went to another specialist who told me I would only live few months. This; rather frightened me and I placed my self under Dr. -. He said the stOTn- ach was at fault and probably l had not been given the right kind of food.
 He put me on q certain line of treat ment and insisted that I use three or four teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts each meal. i was under his care for several months. I steadily improved until now 1 am fully restored to both mental and bodily vigOr.
 He explained to me that Grape Nuts contains a goodIy portion of phosphate of potash. nerve and brain food. md that the food being partially digest .d the system cculd make use O. it easily. 1t any rate l got well and both the doctor and myself know that Grape Nuts made it possible.
 l sincerely believe that practically s.H of our nervous troubles are caused oy Imperfect nourishnent. It was for tUnate for me that I could get such a food as Grape-Nuts. You can use ;his letter but don't publish my name please" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

Dr. Stafford who took the place of Cardinal Gibbons, President Roose velt delivered an address of welcome As the president concluded his ad- dress the Countess de Rochambeau caught up the cords of the flags en- veloping the statue and the massive bronze figure emerged through the folds of red. white and blue.

of Baltimore, but the city council vot- ed to sell to the Goulds.
 The Pennsylvania which. incidental ly. has the greatest authorized capital of any railroad in the world. has, for years. maintained a telegraph service of it's own. and has been more or less independent of the Western Union company as a result
 The railroad company and the teIe- graph concern have not paid any large amounts of money to one another, but have extended the pass and frank privi- lege freely. At times when there was excess of business or delay, the two telegf aph systems would help one an- other out. The Pennsylvania operates more than 10000 miles of railroad and the Western Union has lines strung along the right of way for a consider able part of this distance
 There had been frequent disputes ever terms and concessions, it is now explained, and on several occasions the railroad company had threatened to throw the telegraph company out. This action, it is believed by Wall street leaders, is now direct consequence of the aggression of the Goulds in the railroad field heretofore occupied al- most exclusively by the Pennsylvania.
 Railroad men see in the operations of George Gould a design to follow out the ambitions of his father to establish a transcontinental line. This, brought to a successful conclusion. would mean the installation of strong rival of the Pennsylvania in the east and middle west.

Washington. May 24.-Amid the en- thusiastic demonstrations of a great concourse of people the superb bronze statue of General Count de Rocham- beau, who brought the forces of France across the sea at the hour of the greatest peril in the American revolu- ton, was unveiled today
 Seldom has an event presented Sd many brilliant features of military pageantry and at the same time given occasion for the manifestation of the strong bonds of friendship existing be- tween the French republic and the United States.
 For the first time in it's history the national capital witnessed the sight of rank upon rank of French seamen swinging through Pennsylvania ave nue and mingling their cheers with those of the American bluejackets and soldiers, while at the same time the French tricolcr was entwined with the stars and stripes and the sound Of the "Marseilaise was heard along with the Star Spangled Banner

 MT. Cleveland is. however, an hon. orary member of the chamber, and has many warm friends among the mem- bers. It is almost certain that the Prince of Wales will not be present. but some distinguished members of the British parliament, of the German reichstag and of the French chamber of deputies will. it is expected, be present. It is also probable that one member of the British cabinet will come over and make an address at the banquet to be given to the visitors. The festivi- ties will last for several days

MAY BE NO EXAMINATION
The Case of Cordona May Go Dir. ctly

It is uncertain whether d prelimin- ary examination will be given Tomas Cordona for the murder of Bias Gillian. It is thought that the admissions made
 by the prisoner will make it unneces- saTy and that his case may be brought directly before the grand jury Since CcTdona tcld his story public sentiment has not been so strong against him as
 it was when the news first reached
 town that he had murdered d sleeping man. The theft of wife recently in
 sane and not yet of sound mind is re- gardcd in some quarters as an extenu- ating circumstance. Gillian had warn ing of the fate that overlook him.
 After Cordona's first visit to the Buck eye country q Mexican told Gillian that Cordora was likely to come back and kill both him and the woman.
 Cordona told Mexican at Congress after his capture that after that visit ne had made up his mind to kill both and he still had it in his mind when
 he went to the tent where they were sleeping. T. was still T part of his plan when he fired the first shot but then. he said. something came over
 him. he did not know what. and he de- cided to let the woman live.
