WASHINGTON, August 9.-Captain
Leonard Whitney, for many years man.
ager OF the Western Union office in this
city, has been promoted to be Assistant
superintendent of the Southern district.
with headquarters at Washington. Can
tain Whitney's promotion was made as a
recognition of his ability and zeal in the
management OF the companv's interest in
Washington and of his arduOus and faith
ful service during the strike.

Capt. Whitney has declined the appoint
ment as Assistant Superintendent. and
has rendered his resignation from the
management of the Washington office.
NEW YORK, August 9.-The Western
Union Telegraph Company reDorfnd This
morning that there had been no wire cut-
ting last night. Business, the company
sad, was all cleared up this morning
when the day force took their desks. One
lady operator, who had been out with the
strikers, returned to work this morning
The officials also said that there was no
truth In the statement that the company
was losing $4,000 a day in consequence
of the strike. The company was not
losing anything at all, and it was proba
bic that the net receipts were little. if
any, below the average. There was, of
course, a falling off of gross re-
ceipts, and this upon good authori-
ty, was stated to be less than Is
per cent. On the other hand. the COM
pany's expenses have been diminished.
as many small offices were not open and
the force was smaller in all the larger
Ohces. While the company was not
making as much perhaps as before the
strike, 1t was not losing anything.
In regard to the amount of busi-
nes now actually handled by the
company, it was said that it was
equal to more than three-quarters of it's
ordinary bulk. 1t was not true that the
American Rapid Company had been en-
plOyed by the Western Union Company to
transmit delayed messages. The Western
Union Company was fully capable of
handling Its own business without resort
ing to the wires of any other company.
The strikers are still confident of sue
cess and exhibit no indications of weak
ness. They insist that the railroad OPERA
tors in the West are all utnotwithstand-
ing the statements to the contrary made
OA the representatives of railroad COM
panies.
AUGUSTA, GA, August 9.-The strike
among the telegraphers in the Third dis
trlct of the Southern division is regarded
