POSTAL IN PLACE
Of WESTERN UNION
Appropriation to Lease
Pennsylyania's Wires.
RAILROAD PUTS UP POLES
Officers Say No Telegraph Company
Shall Hereafter Occupy ANY of Its
Territory in Its Own Right.

Dispatches received in the city today
sag the directors of the Postal Tele-
graph Company met in New York and
appropriated $500, 900 for the use of the
wires along the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks in the keystone State 1t was
also announced that last night the rail-
read had begun erecting poles in place
OF those belonging, to the Western
Union. which were removed Saturday
II is expected that all poles will be
erected IN about two months. when the
Postal will enjoy some of the privileges
formerly belonging to the Western
Unicn.
1t will be in a much different position
however, as 1t will not be allowed to
owr poles along the railroads right of
way 1t will simply be allowed to lease
tbs wires and poles for stated terms. at
the end OF any one of which the rail-
road can terminate the lease at pleas
ure.
Bill for Cutting Down Poles
The railroad company has added in
$50, 600 for removing the Western Union
wires.
Just how the Western Union has been
able TO handle its business in Pennsyl-
vania despite she loss of all railroad
wires, Is explained in a statement made
by President CIowry. He said last
night:
We practically had year in which
to prepare for this situation and DUR
ing the last six months we had strung
new pike lines to the districts covered
by the Pennsylvania Railroad. so that
the only Offices cut off are those in
the railroad stations.
No Delay Caused
"Of course. this does not relieve the
railroad from he responsibility 1t has
assumed in cutting down our property
Nevertheless. 1t is true that not min
ute's delay was caused. and we are not
refusing messages to any point We will
take them and guarantee their deIiv-
cry"
Officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad
say that never again Will any telegraph
or other company be allowed to occupy
territory owned by their system.
The injunction proceedings 10 prevent
the removal OF the poles and wires on
the Philadelphia. Baltimore. and Wash
ington road will be heard at Baltimore

Previous reports had it that the mas
sacre was caused by the presence OF
Deltcheff in the village. The place was
surrounded by Turkish troops, who, af-
ter long resistance, broke their way
through the ranks OF the defenders, and
after killing many, set fire TO the houses
leaving the place a pile OF ashes.

PAPAL DELEGATE
RETURNS TO CITY
Mgr. Falconio Delighted
With Trip in Southwest.
AMAZED AT ARIZONA DESERT
Received Everywhere With Unlimited
Hospitality-No Faith in Report of
Rector O'Connell Going to Rome

Monsignor Diomede Falconio. Papal
turned from months visit to Texas,
New Mexico. Arizona. and California.
Monsignor Falconio visited these States
for the first time and is enthusiastic
over his trip. When seen at the legation
this morning he expressed himself free
ly regarding the cordiality with which
he was received everywhere.
''It was a pleasure. indeed. to me. /"
said Mgr. Falconio, ito see that beauti-
ful country and accept the hospitality
of the people They are the most cor
dial and assiduous hosts I have ever
known. and did everything in their
power 10 make my visit to their homes
memorable. I went from Washington
TO Texas. through New Mexico and
Arizona To the Coast.
Arizona of Special Interest.
Arizona was particularly interesting
TO me. for in some parts 1t was nothing
but wide waste of sand. not tree in
sight in this great stretch of desert
They say 1t is very productive out there
ye. they have no water. except by arti-
fetal means. 1t seemed very strange to
ME that. in country so beautiful, so
progressive, and so modern there could
ever be real desert. 1 dedicated but

In many important ceremonies in sew
eral places.
There are many fine educational in
stitutions through the West, and all Of
them are working hard. and gaining ex-
celleut results. l was accompanied from
Washington by one priest, but after We
left the city we found plenty of com
pany. Everywhere l went there were a
number of people TO meet me and to put
forth very effort to make my trip in
tresting and enjoyable.
Kept Pretty Busy.
They kept me pretty busy all the
time, but it was kind of employment
that l thoroughly enjoyed and appre-
cfated- l was away but month, yet in
that time I rested despite the fact that
much of the time was spent in travel.
i think l shall remain in Washington ali
summer, except perhaps, for occasional
short trips away from the city
dispatch received here and dated
Rome, May 26, states that Mgr. o'Con-
nell, rector Of the Catholic University
Of America, will soon go TO Rome to
consult the Pope regarding the hostility
to his work shown by the German ele-
ment in America, including the German
clergy.
From the highest Catholic authority
1t was learned this morning that the
report is entirely without foundation.
There has been no opposition whatever
10 Mgr. O'Connell's administration since
his assumption of the office of rector of
the university. and any statement TO the
contrary Is branded as absolutely false.

work will have to be filled with persons
certified by the commission. It is als o
provided that all employees appointed for
service In connection with the Saint Louis
exposition must be secured through the
civil service commission, but 1t Is said
that the strongest pressure will be brought
to bear on the president to rescind this
portion of his new order.
Some amusing stories are already COM
ing back from the presidents special
train. One is to the effect that one Of the
newspapermen provided himself with a
most elaborate outfit to wear during the
two weeks stay at Cinnabar. Among
other things he had a gorgeous pair Of
russell boots laced up with red silk cords
They attracted the attention of the presi-
dent, and he inquired what they were for.
"To wear at Cinnabar," said the news
paperman. "That's too bad" said the
president. why ?" said the owner Of the
boots. Why" said Mr.. Roosevelt,
"There's snow out there, and am afraid
the pretty things will get wet,'' and he re-
turned to his private car amid the general
laugh which greeted his remark.

mnnx Cats.

The peculiar breed of cats found In
the Isle of Man differs from others only
in that they have no tails, and the lack
thereof is the insoluble puzzle to nat
uralists. Since it has become the fash
ion to explain everything by the prin-
ciples of evolution. two theories have
been offered-one that, owing to the
limited range and lack of dense forests,
the original cats had no use for tails,
and consequently they (the tails. not
the CATS gradually atrophied for lack
of use and became rudimentary; anoth-
er that the primitive Manx cut off all
their cats tails and in the course of
time developed a tailless breed. One
thing is certain-the cats are there. and
they have no tails.
