An Estimate on the Damage Done to
Western Union Lines

I'd to date the Pennsylvania railroad
company has cut down $50 miles OF
Western Union poles and 9Sl3 miles OF
iron wire in Pennsylvania and 245 miles
of iron wire in New Jersey All TINS
property destroyed was along the Penn
sylvania system in Pennsylvania, anu
the West Jersey and SeaShore in New
Jersey In nc other state was any con-
siderable amount of poles or wire cus
down The Western Union values inc
property destroyed at $1,000, GOO Ihe
cash value IS estimated at $500 900.
Should the United States Supreme
Court sustain the Western Unions ap'
peal from the United States N,Ircu Z
Court the Western UuiOn Will bring suit
against the Pennsylvania for damages.
on the other hand, if the appeal of the
Western Union is dismissed, the Penn
sylVania Will sue the Western Union to
recover the expense of cutting down
and removing the poles and wire
IN 1902 the Western Union had 1885,
rs miles of poles and 1.029 9S4 miles OF
wire in operation. The property dc
stroyed is less than one-half per cent
of the total mileage of poles and less
than one per cent of the total mileas-
of wires The Western Union is still
operating in Pennsylvania along the
highways and on private rights of way,
but it does no business a the Pennsyl-
vania railroad stations.

AN oFFIcIAL srArEMENT.
Mexican Government Tells of It's
Railroad Acquisition.

Austin, Tex. June 1.-THE Mexican
government has issued an official ex-
PLANTATION Of its purchase of an interest
in the National railroad of Mexico. This
statement is in part as follows:
THE government has arranged with
bankers of New York for the purchase
of 253. 655 shares of the National railway
company of Mexico, a fact which taken
in connection with the mode Of organi-
zation of that company, and that the
bankers undertake to procure the resig-
nation of four of the directors of the
National railway company nonresident
in Mexico, who viii be replaced by per
sons designated by the Mexican govern
ment, will give the latter an unquestion-
ed control over the line, while at the
same time the government. viii continue
to exercise control over the line in queS-
ton and the Interoceanic railway. In
asmuch as the InterOceanic shares which
it bought will become the property of
the National railway. and as the Mexi-
can government win have control in the
management of the latter, it is plain
that it will have a like control over
both or. in other words, over system
of railroads extending from the gulf of
Mexico to the northern frontier of the
republic
