Assuming Definite Shape-Everything in the

Assuming Definite Shape-Everything in the
Hands of the Executive Committee.
NEW York, July IA. The threatened
trouble between the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and the Brotherhood of Tel
graphers of the United States and Canada is
assuming more definite shape and there is
every probability that the directors of the
telegraph company will soon have to consider
whether or not they will make the conces-
sions asked by the operators in their employ.
All sorts of rumors were circulated about
the city to-day as to what was to be done by
the Telegraphers' Brotherhood.
Anxious to learn how much truth there
was in these rumors the reporter visited the
Office of General Manager Eckert, but was
told that he was attending committee meet
ing of the officers of the company. Mr.. Bren-
nan, the assistant superintendent of the
operators room, said
Il have heard nothing about this threat
ened strike except what have read in the
papers, and do not believe the reports
have heard no conversation among the
operators in this room about any trouble
and no complaints have been made except
such as we always expect from that class
who are never satisfied. The operators are
tions, and arranging with each other to act
as substitutes
a gentleman who is a member of the Tele-
graphers Brotherhood, and also of the
Knights of Labor, said; =.
''The operators know nothing Enow nnti1 1r ii
what is going on, and wille whole ws,teria ts,'s
the proper 5ime connee ne executive committee,
~ aS sl.e iSil ~ seven members, who have abso-
SU. Go.ii tpS6Wer l do not care to give their
names, and they are not in the city at this
time. They have about completed their
work, but will probably hold another meet
ing some time next week There is no truth
in the report that general strike has been
decided upon, ann the general belief is no
strike will be made, for l think the officers
of the Western Union Telegraph Company
will see the justice of the claims made. l
cannot tell you what these claims are for
l do not know. We propose to demand
some concessions. If the Western Union
Company refuse to make them, they, as well
as the whole business community, will
realize the power of our organization. Every
member of the Brotherhood will, if the ex-
ecutive committee so decide, resign his or
her position. A strike OF the telegraph ope-
every branch of business in the country
than q strike Of any other trade, and it is my
belief that such a strike would be followed
by similar demonstrations in other trades.
If a strike is ordered it will not be made for
q week or more"
From another source the reporter learned
that meeting of the executive committee of
the Brotherhood will be held on Wednesday
or Thursday next, when the demands will
be formu and presented to the officers
of the Western Union Company.

TIE SUEZ CANAL.
De ,essepy6ound to Hold His Concessions
and Agreements.

ana Agreements.
IoNno, July 1.-THE Standard says the
oo,ern ,ent are sounding De Lesseps as to
wetbr any modification OF the agreement
reard to the Suez canal is possible. ut is
belsved" says the Standard, that De Les
sess will agree to its being materially modi-
Fed. The son of De Lesseps was hastily sum-
moned TO Paris yesterday, but will return to
London in few days, 1t seems certain that
the House of Commons will reject the scheme.
At least thirty Liberals will oppose it, and
several Others will abstain from voting upon
it. The Irish members will join the Conserva-
tives in opposition 10 it,"
At meeting OF shipowners, held at New
castle, to-day, resolutions condemning the
governments agreement with De Lesseps
were passed.
NJ. Fontane, the secretary of the Suez Canal
Company, in an interview confirmed the re-
marks made by De Lesseps, that he (De Les
sepS) was Indifferent as to whether England
accepted the agreement relative to a second
SueZ canal. He declared that spectators
were opposed to the agreement, ami were in-
terested in their own schemes. He said that
no English canal was possible, because De
Lesseps had obtained a complete concession,
to interfere with which would be robbery.
De Lesseps, he said, was determined TO carry
out his programme, with or without English
help. If such help was refused. British ship
owners would suffer, for the tolls would be
high.
AT a meeting Of merchants u; a.rn
ers at Birmingham, resolutions were passed
condemning the agreement between the gov
ernment and De Lesseps.

without other conditions than submission to

The Panama Star and Herald news, per the

main fort held out vigorously, the towns
people received Alfaro's troops with delirious
enthusiasm. The greatest order prevailed.
Alfaro, whilst dismounting at the Colombian
consulate was fired at by colored man.
The bullet grazed him and struck an on

court-martialed and shot. He had been

THE CHOLERA.
Rumor that Several Cases Have Occurred in
East London.


LONDON, July 14.-Cholera has at last ar
rived in London. While the government
has been dawdling over proposed sanitary
measures, British shipping, to tamper with
which the government never dares has been
allowed to move its vessels straight through
the infected district of Egypt and carry the
danger to all parts of the world. 1t would
not be safe to say that any ship which
has passed through the Suez canal during
the past six weeks has not carried from
Egypt some seeds of the scourage Where
these may be sown only infinite wisdom can
tell. But that some of them have reached
London and been effectually deposited there
can be no doubt The government was mott
fled this evening that several cases of Asiatic
colera existed in East London. Everything
possible was done to suppress this informa-
ton, but The fact has leaked out and
been semi-oficialy confirmed. Much ex-
citement has been caused by the reports, and
the government has felt itself called upon to
officially declare that while the cases ru-
mored as being present in East London do
really exist there they are merely choleraic,
not genuine Asatic cholera, and not OF an
epidemic form. This announcement is
however, coupled with Sucn conuuct on the
part of the government as really tends to
! give occasion for increased alarm. The Ga
| zette comes out this evening with official
precautions. 1t publishes government or
| der empowering customs officers to detain and
examine all vessels suspected OF being in
fected or coming from infected districts and
orders in every such case a thorough medical
inspection Of every passenger and person
! aboard. East London is the entrepot of the
London shipping, and at all times swarms
with sailors from all parts of the world. 1t is
the place where plaques enter and lodge,
and has undoubtedly harbored scores of men
who have left Egyptian ports since the com
