New York, August 8.-Iiast night

tween Kings Bridge and Scarsdale.
At Tarrytown twelve Hudson river
wires were down and eighteen wires on
the Eastern circuit were destroyed be
tween Port Chester and Greenwich,
Conn. The cross arms we're sawed off in
the latter instance, and the wires cut
beside. The first wires to 60 down
were those on the eastern circuits,
which we lost about ll:30 o'clock last
night. The others went down shortly
after midnight. A large force of men
were dispatched in each direction, and
the damages are being repaired as
rapidly as possible. The cutting of
the wires interfered with others across
which they were allowed to fall, SO
that the greatest confusion was Gre

the work was greatly delayed"

Special to the Courier journal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The present
status OF the strike of the telegraph
operators excites a good deal of inter.
est here. The effort to extend it to
the railroad operators resulting in
many cases in the strike of railroad
engineers, and probably other railroad
men, is regarded with good deal of
apprehension, affecting so generally, as
tits believed it would, the business
and commercial interests of the coun-
try. 1t is believed that such climax
would raise more effectually than ever
before the issue between capital and
labor, and that the public would final
ly have to interpose and prevent a
decentralization of its commercial in.
terests by settling the questions at
issue.
A prominent ex officer of the gov
ernment, who has occupied a high
position in the administration and in
politics, said to your correspondent to-
day that this issue is one that will
sooner or later claim the attention of
Congress. The welfare of the country
demanded that the issues SO freauent-
ly being raised between capital and
labor by combinations and strikes
should be settled by arbitration es.
tablished by law. He believed in
labor having a generous reward, but
the endeavoI to secure this by strikes,
resulting in the suspension OF import
ant commercial interests and other
wise tending to demoralize the ooun-
try,should be prevented by legislation.
The growth and oppressive measures

dreaded than labor combinations,

could appeal to this bureau, whose

Just and reasonable demands made on
them by their employees. If this bu.
reau had no legal right to establish
rates of compensation to employees, it
would at least have wholesome moral
effect In preventing the numerous
strikes, whose evils are so diversified
and widespread This gentleman
thinks that bill providing for the es,
tablishment of such bureau will very
likely be introduced and passed by the
next Congress.

accept, poSiponement of further
action on the subject was de-
sired, as the position in question
is one Of great Importance, and not

was then nominated to be Director
