The Atlantic & Pacific Is to receive 1234 per cent of the gross carnings of Loth comnanies. The stockbolders widl be bet- ter oft than beforo, from the fact that they will probably get from 3 to 4 per cent per an- num on tho par valuo of their stock. It will make the stock of the Company dividend-paying, which it was not befores In the opintonof Mr. Eckort, the Atlantie& Pacllc would never have pald dividends under the competitlon which bas been golugon.

In small country towns where: botlt companies bave es- tablished offices, tho ono having the lcast fa- cilittes will be closed. g The officials of both companies do not think that the rates will advance much above tho present grades, NEW YORK PRESS COMMENTS, Special Dispatch to The Tridune, Nrw Yonk, Aug. 21.—The Times says tnat by the telegraph consolidation rates will be ralsed.

Preat- dent Orton, of the Westcrn Unlon, appeared, and fu reply to o question said: '* Arranye- ments between tho Western Unlon and Atlantie & Pacllc have been consummated. Nothing was eaid about the purchaso of stock ot the meeting, but the aflair has been scttled by pool- fog the carnings. The proporitlon I cannot glve you to-night. It will probavly take until daylight to draw np tho nccessary papers for the metnbers of the Committes to sigu. Jay Gould sald: *“The differences have been set- ticd, and the companles will work in harmony." Then he went to Vanderbilt's parlors and aided the Committco In their tabors, Tho Times has tho following additional detalls about the telegraphle consolidation: * Russell Bagoeald yesterday that the Western Unlon first offered 0 per cent, but withdrow it. After- wurd the Atlautle & Pacific offered to take 6, but backed down. Then Western Unlon offered 7, and Atlantic & Paciflc asked 8, and here oc- curred a long discussion, Tt was settled, how- ever, on the basis of 8, but ataprovious mecting the Atlantic & Pacific Committoa did not have power to act. They held a speclal meeting yes- terday afternoon, and were given tho requisite authority, The gencrally-reccived opinfon 18 that tho delay was purposely arranged to afford Keeno and Bage time to purchase sufliciont Atlantic & Paciila stock, {n addition to what they bad, to make up the 71,000 shares nceded to givo the Western Unlon a controlling majority, Of coursc the minority shares will now be worthless, as they will never ba able to puy a dlvidend, and thera is some talk among tho stockholders” of attempting legal procedings to stop the transfer on tho ground of collusion and fraud, Tho wholo affalr is the outcome of o stock-jobbing tht between Jay Gould on oue slde aud Jim Kecne and Rusacll Bagru on the other, In which the two latter were 50 badly warsted they wero forced to come to Uoulil'a terma to suvo themselyes.' NEW VORK, Aug. 21,—President Ortou to<lay snkd tho Western Unlon Company wonld recelve 8754 per cent and tho Atlantle & Pacific 12 per cent of tho gross carulngs of the poole receipts of both companics. ‘The arrangement went {nto effect this murmni. and the declsion of the conference would be tinal, ‘The written contract sgreed upon will not be wiven the public, becausc it contaius many de- tails which ¢o not concern the public.” The Western Unlon and Atlantic & Pacific_Compa- nies arc now practically onc company. They will still be run as Lwo companics, cach retalning its ol oflicers and general organlzatlon, but ail protits resulting from their telegrapb- 'nn will _be “pooled.” This arrunge- ment will last’ for twenty years, and this is the whole arrangement, private de- tails excepted. Of course It follows that rates will bo _advanced, bat they will be advanced only so fur as shall_sceura a falr profit to com- nies, We bave bought a majority of the At- r:ut!\: & Paclfic stock, between 71,000 und 72,000 shares, but neargr 7H000. I cannot give the cexuct number, Mr, Orton did not say what prive was paid, but it is believed that” for the nunrg 2,000 shares, at 25 per centum, therg were pald about 23,000 shares of Westeru Unlon at 75 per céutum, 5 The Atlantlc & Paciic Company {8 therefore now fully under the_ control of the Western Union Company. Great satisfaction is felt anit expressed by tho latter Come panv. A promment Western Unfon Di- rector belleved the vutes would be ouly slightly advanced. The Company desired to uct equitably and moderately, Twenty-five centa fora telégruphic dispatelito Omaha was too low, No x'umunn{ could afford to eend 0 poluts so distant at that price, but Directors intended to make but a small ad- vance in thelrcharges, “‘The meetng of the Exocutive Committee of the Western Unlon Company, thls morniug, ratifled in full the procceduiigs of the Jolut Commitico Jast night, and the contract made by that Cummitteo was plaved on the recorda.

WasitiNaToN, D, Cy Aug, 3l—The circnlar of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Taum, limiting the number of relations to be employed in revenue districts, was to-day pro- mulgated. While the intention of the cireular seems to be the good of the public service, the practieal effect of it, rome revenue oflicials say, will be to permit Collector’s to keep the largest salarles paid in the several districts within thelr own family, or within that of their immediate fricnds. Hitherto many Collectors have felt a dclicacy ahout appointing thcir sons and rela- tives as chief deputies, with a salary second only to their own, but by this order the Internal Revenue Departnient sanctions this custom, and, bealdes, gives the Collcetors abundant op- portunities to exercise favoritiam as to the num- ber of blood retatives not related to hinsell who may be retained in oflice, TIE 8MUORLERS, ‘The Government has dispatehed sgeret agents to Canada for the purpose of detecting the atlk- smuggliug ring.
