CHICAGO, August 31.-In anticipation OF
President Arthur coming to this city, and it
being his first visit since the Convention at
which he was nominated for President,
and after having held the position of Presi-
dent for ewo years. the Daily Neaos sent out
letter to large number of people, asking
their opinion on his administration. They
included all living members of the Republi-
can Convention which nominated him, all
Members of Congress, both Democrats and
Republicans, representatives alike of busi-
ness and literary men, divines college presi-
dents, ETC. In reply, between three and four
hundred letters were received, which were
published this morning, filling fourteen COL
umns in very fine type. Nearly all of them
are more or less cordial Endorsements of his
administration. Ameng them are hsttering
Endorsements from Charles w. Warner, Geo.
William Curtis, Henry Ward Beecher, Hsr-
Frye and Dawes, Richard Smith and Murat
HaIstesd, the Cincinnati editors, Senator
Henderson Of Indiana, George B. Raum,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Hon.
Frank Pxley Of California, Brick Pomeroy,
j. B. Bslferd of Colorado. and "What are
we-here-for Flanagan of Texas. Mark
Twain gives his Endorsement as that of one
ftty-millionth part of the population, and
advises the editor not TO make up his mind
till he has heard from the 49, 999, 500 others in
the country. M. E. Stone Young, editor of
the Meas, says it is not intended as politi-
cal boom for Arthur.
The Strike OF the TeIegraphers.
CHICAGO, August 31.-General Superin-
tendent Clowry received telegram this
morning from Charles A. Tinker, Superin-
tendent of the Western Division of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, dated
New York, which reads as follows: q" Six
more operators came in from the New York
strikers to-day. making twenty.six in sll
here, and over 100 have returned sincs the
strike in this division. Reports of further
withdrawal from our force in any direction
are false. All are sensational reports daily
circulated through the channels of the
| strikers"
QUESTION OF ENDURANCE.
New York, August 3d.-The strike now
| seems to havs ssttled down to question of
endurance. Mr.. Gould outlined this plan in
| his statement to friend. While talking of
| the situation, he said the present strike was
| but skirmish line protected by the knights
| Of Labor, OF which the Brotherhood is a
! branch. Every corporation, firm or indi-
vidual who employs large number Of men
are interested in seeing this movement de-
| feated, for they know that its success means
| the success of the Knights of Labor. Owing
TO the great interests involved, the Western
| Union cannot aud will not recade, no matter
what its loss is or to what inconvenience the
public is put.
THE SITUATION IN CHICAGO.
| CHICAGO, August 3d.-The grand move
ment on the part of the operators that was
talked about 80 much yesterday has 80 far
| failed to materialize. The men continue to
shake their heads ominously when spoken to
about it, and say that it may be made at any
moment. Each and every one Of them pro-
fesses the prof5undest ignorance of the na-
ture of the blow about to be dealt. but it is
emphatically asserted by all that when it is
| given it will preclude all possibility of the
further continuance of the strike. 1t is gen.
erslly believed thst some sort of plan is on
| foot to induce the plug" operators to stop
work and harass the Western Union into Of
fering double and treble the wages now being
paid In order TO secure men. The feeling
among the strikers ID very bitter against the
men WI o renouCc ed the Brotherhood yester-
day and returred 60 work. Members Of the
Board of Trade dre beginning 10 get exasper-
ate1 over thu existing slate of affairs 1t
may be q fact, said one of shem to-day, "thas
the Western Union is coming around
gradually, bus we can't afford to have them
come around gradueliy. Here We are, pros
trated for want of prompt telegraph commu-
nica,ior, and ars told that the company will
soon be on its feet again. We don's want
it soon. We want it now. We can't afford
to wait for mouths, or weeks, or evan days
and unless some sort of settlement is made
presently there is going TO be e mighty big
kick, and don't you forget it."
