A Promised Cyclone from the West-The
 Cloud esatherfng.
 NEW YORK, July 29.-The telegraphers have settled down to-day to steady fight aud no more nonsense is the to-night's verdict of MT. John Campbell. the district master workman. The contest which the members of the brotherhood had expected would last but few days and which the company's scarcely expected would end in anything but a three days fight and wind up in 8 compro- mise is likely to be prolonged indefinitely. The men say they are fully prepared and that they can stand the small losses which will fall to them individually better than the Western Union can stand heavy daily losses in gross on it's enormous business. The men have on their tongues B key note 'sthere Is cy clone coming out of the West" which they do not care to interpret too close ly and concerning which when questioned they only reply 'tits summer of cyclones and they all come out of the West." The point at which the disturbance is likely to rise is certainly not Pittsburg and is believed to be Chicago This accepted policy of ttstand out'' for an indefinite period grows directly out of the failure of negotiations with the Baltimore and Ohio, which has little in common with and much against the Vest ern Union. The brotherhood was met at every point by the fact that the telegraph companies had entered into compact not to recognize the brotherhood as such and the Baltimore and Ohio would not violate it's agreement even indirectly. When this fact became known on Saturday MT. Campbell says it was decided to assume the aggressive more strongly than had been previously done The plan agreed upon was to throw the rail road wires out of all commercial business and to do it in such a way as to throw the re- sponsibility on the railroad companies. Last night the operators at between 5000 and 2. GOO railroad offices instead of being ordered out as has been suggested involving an order which it is doubtful if the executive committee or Mir. Campbell had the power to give, were instructed neither to receive or send commercial business of any sort. The brotherhood announces it's will lineenss to be quite responsible for the pay ment of salaries to men who are discharged by the companies for refusing to do what their contract does not call on them to do. and their obligations the brotherhood bind them to that extent The stations at which these commercial or business messages have been taken are almost without exception points which can be reached by no other lines. where tolls are heavy and where the embar rassment will be great. MT. Campbell SAYS the Western Unien will feel the result in to-morrow's returns

Progress of the Cholera i'm Egypt-Its Fla
 taIity Among the British Troops and
 Natives.
 LONDON, July 29.-The war dispatches again increase the feeling concerning the condition in Egypt by the announcement con- tained in the reports that of fifty heretofore unreported cases of cholera amongst the British troops every case has been fatal. These cases all occurred at Cairo and in the immediate vicinity.
 ALEXANDRIA, Jnly -29.-The oficisI reports from thirty six towns give the deaths to day from cholera in excess of the eight hundred and as probly reaching one thoasand. The deaths in many villages are unaccounted for by the authorities who do not consider ex. actitude in making up their reports necessa- ry. Many persons who came from the in fected districts and have read the detailed reports in the presence of their own knowl- edge of the situation and of the roundabout official methods of the Turkish subordinates say that the death rate is probably not less than fifteen thousand or eighteen thousand a day.

 BOSTON, July 29.-.n instance of the utter disregard and contempt with which the Western Union officials look upon the inter ests of their customers when slightly at vari- ance with their own is the case of press cor respondent who on Saturday night filed three long press dispatches at the central office here directed to leading newspaper in one of tho largest cities in New England. This correspondent had repeatedly requested the company here not to receive his dispatches unless they could certainly be transmitted and on ascertaining that they could not be transmitted to return them at once that they might be sent by some other line. All three of the above mentioned dispatches were re- ceived and kept during the entire night. Some twenty four hours afterward they were all returned to the correspondent with the simple notice scrawled on one corner, "Cannot send anything after 10 o'clock. Signed, Receiver" As every one of the dis patches were filed after that hour the fact that they could not be sent well known at the time they were received as twenty four hours later and they had been returned as again and again requested.
