A TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
A Sensational Story From Pitts
burgh.
The Telegraph Operators, Printers and
Railroad Engineers Said to Be
Talking Of Uniting.
A HRir.Brained Lie.
Special 10 the Register.

PlrTsRrRGH, August 20.-A wild rumor
gained a large circulation on the streets to-
night TO the effect that the failure of the
telegraph operators to gain their point in
the recent strike had rendered the Knights
OF Labor more determined than ever to
succeed in forcing favorable outcome, and
that an amalgamaton Of the operators
with the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers and international Typographical
Union was in course of arrangement, and
that as soon as the union was effected a
strike of the three departments Of labor
All over the Country
would be inaugurated, thereby putting
complete stop to commercial telegraph
business, the transmission and printing Of
news, and the moving OF all railroad trains.
This, it was asserted, would completely
paralyze the business of the country, and
either compel the telegraph companies to
accede to the demands of the men or force
the Government to interfere. Prominent
wOrkmen and labor organizers with whom
interviews have been held know nothing OF
the alleged move, and ridicule the whole
story as silly and without the slightest
foundation. There is no doubt but that 1t
is a canard, having its origin in the fertile
brain Of some reporter.
Another Account.
PITTSBURGH, August pa sensational
story to the effect that the failure Of the

neers. and that as soon as the organization

was in circulation tonight, but careful in
quiry failed to trace il to any reliable
source. A number of prominent members
of the Telegraphers Brotherhood were seen
and all pronounced il entirely without
foundation.

4 Parallel Drawn Between Mclean
and Kelly,

New YoRE, August 2O.-Commenting on
Saturdays Democratic Convention at Gin
cinnati, the Times this morning says edi-
torially:
"Mr. Mclean seems to be in Cincinnati
what Kelly is in New York. Neither has
grain of political principle in his comp
sition; neither is in politics for anything
but the lowest purposes, and neither is
ever more potent or INSCRIPTIONS than in
working for the qualification of private
grudges and personal hatred. To beat Gov
vernon Robinson, Kelly caused seventy i've
thousand Of his followers to cast their votes
for him, and so beat his party. To beat
Senator Pendleton, Mclean spends freely
of his own and Mr.. Bookwalters money
and il is probable that he, too, will accom-.
plish the defeat of his own party-at least
in Hamilton county"
