Druids' hall, large number present.
Committees reports were very encourag-
ing. The treasury has over 800 in its cot
fers, contributed by several business men
in the city. Financial aid is being raised
in the various Knights of Labor assem-
blies in the city, and also mixed assemblies.
A special meeting of the brotherhood will
be held at 10 a. m. to-day. Every mem
Der is requested to be present. Addresses
by the M. W. K. of L., of st. Paul. No
signs of weakening. All are firm, and feel
more hopeful than ever. From a cipher
dispatch received here from New York we
may expect to see the war carried into
Africa shortly. All railroad operators,
members of the brotherhood, are strictly
forbidden to handle, Western Union
business, irrespective of consequences, I'M
til we are recognized.
THE SITUATION EPIToMIZED.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The following bulle-
tin respecting the strike situation is re-
received here tonight:
New YoRK-To R. G. Clowry, General
Superintendent: This week closes with our
force large increased and our service
greatly improved over the previous week,
the past two days it having reached almost
perfection. The strikers are discomftted
by the daily recurring denials of the absurd
stories put forth by their leaders to give
them heart and keep them together. They
find that the feast to which they were in
vited is supplied only with husks. The
railroad operators did not go out, thirty
five operators did not desert from the New
IA
sin, the Western Union directors did not
disagree, and last of all, they would moi
confer and compromise. Comment upon
the inevitable results is unnecessary.
(Signed) CHARLES A. TINKER,
General Supt. of Division.
THE SITUATION IN THE EAST.
NEW YORK, Aug. NO new develop
ments in the telegraph war to-day. Both
sides are still firm. At meeting of the
striking telegraphers this afternoon, Chair
man Mitchell stated that bill of griev-
ances had been presented to-day to the
officers of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western railroad by telegraphers employ
ed by that railroad and that bills of griev-
ances were presented to-day by telegraph
ers employed by all roads leading out of
Chicago. Mitchell said he thought the
telegraphers employed by the Chicago
Alton railroad would strike this evening
The principal topic of interest in the
east in connection with the telegraphers'
strike is furnished by preparations for the
meeting of the United States senate com
mittee on education and labor, of which
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, is chair
man. The meeting will begin next Mon
day. An army of witnesses has been sum-
monsd by subp9nas, and they represent
every phase of opinion in regard to labor
matters, and especially respecting the pres
ent strike of the telegraphers. Gould and
Eckert are among them, as we'll as leading
members of the brotherhood and other Ia
Dor organizations.
