Shut Out For Fifteen Years; Succeeds Postal When Pres ent Contract Ends Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia. Sept. 6. After fifteen years' exclusion from the patronage of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, I the Western Union Telegraph Company is once again to do business with the great railroad corporation. This be came known yesterday, when it was dis covered that the present exclusive con tract between the Pennsylvania and the Postal Telegraph Company, which expires on June 25 next, will not be re newed. The Western Union, which once did all the telegraph business for the Penn sylvania Railroad, lost the contract dur ing the presidency of the late Alex ander J. Ca-ssatt, who, after an angry difference with the Western Union of ficials. ordered that all the corpora tion's poles along the lines of the Penn sylvania system be cut down. Postal Gets Long Contract A long-term contract was then en tered Into with the Postal Company. The Western Union did no Pennsylvania Railroad business from that day until this. Although no official of the Pennsyl vania would discuss the matter yester day. it WHS nevertheless learned upon high authority that "there will be no exclusive telegraph contracts after thu current Postal contract expires on June 25." It was also said that the effect or such a policy would be to divide the business between the two companies. This, of course, will greatly enhance the Western Union receipts.
