TELEGRAPH BATTERS.
Combination of Cable Companies—Not'd
Proposition of a Telegraph Brotherhood.
A consolidation of the telegraph inter¬
ests of the cable ctmipahies is conterii
plated. Mr. Mack ay’s friends are now
said to be working on a scheme by which
the independent telegraph lines will be
managed by a new company, and Mr.
Gould is supposed to have arranged details
of this matter at the meeting held with
Mr. Garrett, and the details of the consoli
dation will probably be made bfetwebn
Garrett and Mack ay as soon as Garrett ar
rives in Europe. He says that he docs
not think the cable war cau last a great
deal longer, and that whenever a settle
ment is made, the Commercial Cable will
faithfully carry out its guarantee to the
public. It is sta’ed that the Brotherhood
o! Telegraphers of the United States
have made & proposition to purchase the
Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company,
The sum they offer is $3,000,000. This
is said to be exactly the amount offered
by Mr. Gould. The brotherhood offer
lo pay $500,000 cash on the acceptance
of their proposition, and to pay the re¬
maining $2,500,000 This at the end is proposed of six
months. large sum it
to raise by assessing each member of
the brotherhood $50 per mofath for
six months. There are 21,000 members,
and the leaders among them entertain no
doubt of their ability to raise the sum
required

Col. John B. Castleman and Adjutant

Ky., from Morehead, where they had
been sent by Governor Knott to inquire
into the propriety of sending troops

court. Troops have been

others. The sheriff is in Mount Ster

THE QUEEN OFFENDED
Because Lord Bercsford Sent a Message ta
His Wile—lie Is Compelled to Iteslcn.
Lord Charles Beresford, junior lord of
the admiralty, aud one of the bravest
men in the British Navy, has withdraw resigned. hie
He has been requested to for the resigna¬
resignation. minor The breach cause of etiquette at
tion was a
Spithead during the naval review, when
a private signal made by Lord Charles
from the royal yacht was converted into
a public scandal. While the Queen was
receiving captains of the fleet in the sa
loon of the royal yacht Albert and Vic¬
toria, Beresford, who was on the aboard yacht,
signalled to the Enchantress,
which his wife was, Charles the following mes¬
sage: “Tell Lady to go imme¬
diately aboard the yacht Lancashire
Witch, where I will join bei,” The
captain of the Enchantress, when the
signal was given, thought, of course, but
that it was a special royal command,
as the message was slowly spelled out he
became enraged and made a fuss about it.
The incident is believed to be unparal Lord
leled. Disciplinarians declared that
Charles’s conduct was virtually a gross
insult to the Queen. Permanent officials
of the admiralty office, it is said, are de¬
lighted over the position iu which Lord
Beresford is placed by the affair, because
he has done so much to annoy them in
adopting reforms. He is a bosom friend
of the Prince of Wales. As he is an
Irishman, it may have an important bear¬
ing on the Irish question.
POISON IN "NOODLES.”
Alfred Krumm, manufacturer of
“noodles,” Philadelphia, Pa., was taken
into custody at the instance of the Amer¬
ican Society for the Prevention of Adul¬
teration of Food, on the charge of mix¬
ing chrome yellow in his dough instead
of eggs, for the purpose of giving the
noodles a yellow tint. Experts' testified lead,
that chrome yellow, or chromate of
was found in the noodles in.the propor
tion of three grains to six ounces of flour,
and Krumm admitted that he had used
the stuff for thirteen years as a substitute
for. eggs, but had disoontinued its use
upon being informed Jof its deadly char¬
acter.
