Orders,

New YORK, August 17th-One of the
Western Union Company's officials said this
morning that thirty.fiye circuits in this city
were interfered with last night by throwing
fine wires over the regular wires. The Super
intendent said he had taken back seven of the
striking operators this forenoon. They were
taken back at the same salaries they were
formerly paid It is rumored a number of
the striking operators viii meet to-day for
the purpose OF taking concerted sction IN
withdrawing from the Brotherhood, in order
that they might honorably apply for posi-
tions at the Office Of the company.
NEW YoRK, August 17th.-The New York
Times says many telegraph operators are in
clined to admit the failure Of tie strike and
give up. After three or four weeks struggle
with the merciless monopoly they are dis
posed to attribute the failure to their reliance
on the Knights of Labor, which has proved o
deluson and snare. They certainly made
q serious mistake in having their organiza-
tion connected in any way with that secret
and half-mythical combination.

collapse of the strike, and advising operators
to seek work. The dispatch was received
about 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, and pro-
voked great excitement among the operators

FIVE hundred mep. Master Workman Morris
said he would not give the word TO surrender
at this stage of the fight. He knew

talked ia the same straic, and went on advis-
ing them TO take ali oaths demanded Of them
by the companies if they were compelled
to abandon the fight, and they would be
morally released at any time. A number Of

fully decided to not surrender for the
present, st least, and to pTolong the
contest indefinitely, provided other large
cities of the West would follow their lead.
The officials of the Western Union report
that number of men have already applied
and have been given work.

New York, August 17th.-The brokers

been on trial a little over month. About
one hundred and ten firms joined the sssocia-
tion, but the number of stocks presented for
clearance was small as compared with the
total transaction. The Stock Exchange has,
therefore. determined to abandon the move
