There is no particular change in the aspect
Of the telegrapher's strike as far as it affects
this city. No Associated Press kilograms
have been received here since the day of the
strike. In this respect the Journal has suf-
fered worse than the other Maine papers, As
in Portland, Bangor and Lewiston, press dis
patches have been received about as usual.
with the exception of two or three days. We
understand that the Western Union propose
to send day operator here ere long, while
Mr.. Coombs, the manager, will take the night
report. Day messages are received at this
office the same as before the strike, not being
subject to delay As at first. That the West
ern Union telegraph service is not nearly as
effective as before the strike, has been learned
by experience by individuals in this city.
Dispatches sent to Boston, in several in
stances within our knowledge, have reached
their destination in very bad shape. The
word Exeter" sent from here in dispatch
came out in Boston 'ex-treasurer."
