THE TELEGRAPUIC SrRINSRS.-The absence
OF the usual appctizius array OF telegraphlc mat
ter published in THE NEWS was the first iptima
ton to many OF the readers of this paper that the
telcgraphic operators had combined to resist Ger
taia changes, and were on strike. The move
mest first commenced in California, where some
rCtlctions OF salaries had been made, and under
o rumor that similar reductions would be at
tempted elsewhere, the operatives throughout
the country, numbering some 1000, struck work
and now insist that their brethren in California
shall be restored to their former places and
emoluments.
Tic organization OF the telegraphic operators
in union, or protective association, has been In
process for nearly twelve months, but has only
recently been perfected. The western Union
Telegraph Company is an immense corporation,
trayersng the major portion OF the Union with
It's network Of wires embracing in its employ
nearly 5000 experienced operators. The strike
extends throughout the United States, but tnus
far the strikers have not received the active CO.
operation OF their associates in the third district
of the Southern division, which includes South
Carolina, the greater portion Of Georgia ana
Florida. The Washington Office, which is the
grand distributing depot, is in deplorable coudi-
tion and of % operators, only the chiefs and some
ercenhorns are at work. The same state OF affairs
exists at Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, St.
Louis Cincinnati and other large cities North,
South, East and West. The employees CT the COM
oany have been nearly unanimous in express
ing their determination to cooperate with their
San Francisco brethren to prevent any reduction
OF salaries and insist that the operators who
were discharged for refusing to submit to the re-
duction be reinstated. The western Union Tele'
graph Company is very wealthy corporation,
but it ia doubtful II they can effect anything
against the combination Of the operators, and
will eventually be compelled to succumb to their
demands. Until that event the public must be
coa.ent with the mails. and as they are not al
ways reliable the "news Of the day" will be about
three days old before it is read. Work is accumu-
Iating rapidly ut the different otilces, and when
the strike is ended it will require hard work and
close application to clear the decks.
In the Charleston office the superintendent has
not refused to receive dispatches but states
plainly that there Is but slim chance OF their
speedy transmission. The operators are endea.
yorlng to pass some Important cable dispatches
over the lines, and nothing Is received or trans
uitted. The noon Press dispatches were re-
ceived yesterday through round-a-about way
from Washington, via Atlanta and Augusta. The
telegraph operators in Washington have pledged
themselves to abstain from all spirituous or in
toxioating liquors during the prevalence OF the
strike. The operators are thoroughly in earnest,
and will hardly yield until they have gained the
point for which they are striving.

"TAE STRANGE STORY"

The latest version OF the Bonrbaki story is that
given In the London Ne,cs. The writer is the cor
respondent OF that journal at Tours. The following

published, but which | know 10 be In The hands Of
the government here, reveals the secret OF General
BourDaki's appearance ut ChiseihursL which has
greatly puzzled the London press. Az you have
surmlsed, the Improbable explanations hitherto
given were not the true ones. The ex-smpress IN
connyance with the cX-Emperor ana NJ. dc BIS
maIcK, sent a messenger 10 Metz saying that she
desired 10 confer with trusty general an affair
OF capital Importance. Marshal Bazalhe though not
much liking to part with general whose mission
he was not allowed TO know, was so pressed by the
messenger, who gave und0ubted proofs OF LIS being
sent by The Empress that he was persuaded to send
General Bourbaki, Marshal Ganrobert, who was
for u moment thought Of having hurt Ia
the leg which prevented him from travelling.
When General B0urbaki (Nho, armed with NJ Bis
marck's pass got through the PrGssian lines with.

so far from being surprised seeing Inn, thanked
him with .'effuson" Tor coming, and proceeded to
say that she waited him to take charge OF the Prince
Imperial, to conduct him TO Metz and let MIN remain
with Bazaine's army until the time came for CON-
