cess-The Western Union Also
More Wires Reported Cut.

NEW YORK, August II. Superintendent
Humstone OF the Western Union reported
his morning that fifteen wires were cut or
Interrupted on the Southern circuits, prin-
hpaIly to Washington aud Philadelphia, In
Jersey Meadows, between Jersey City and
he car shops on the Western routes all the
American Union and Mutual Union wires,
o the number OF eighteen, and five Ilud-
on river wires, have been cut. In this
,ity, Just south OF ManhattanWle, at va
1ous points on the Eastern circuit, thirty
hree wires were cut also in the vicinity OF
hanhattanvie, A large force OF linemcn
we're sent out to repair the damage.
Some delay was caused, but Blu ST.
mess was sent by other routes
Until the circuits could be completed.
The Interruptions to these wires occurred
shortly after | O'Clock this morning, at
lbopt the same time showing that the ac-
ion was a concerted one on the part OF the
cutters. Little Inconvenience was expe RI
enccd, as business ~ that hour was pretty
we'll cleared up. Dispatches from the West
state that the Fort Wayne route was cut
last night in the vicinity OF Chicago, and
that seven routes OF st. Louis have been iu-
terrupted.
There is no apparent change IN the con-
ition OF affairs at the Western Union Office
tot day, and the strikers seem to be still
irm in their position. The rumor that
there is any indication OF general weakness
on the part Of the strikers is Indignantly
denied, and the men who have returned to
he employ Of the company are said to DC Of
an inferior grade.
AT THE WESTERN UNION.
NEW YORK, August ll.--At the West
.rn Union Office il was sad this morning
hat two more men had returned since last
night, and others were expected to apply
to-day.
From Superintendent Trabue, at Nash
Vile, the following dispatch was received
this morning; Zone striker return ed TO
Macon, Ga, Yesterday, completing the full
force there. All the strikers, seven in
number, applied to return to work yeSter-
day. We have but two vacancies and but
two applicants have been accepted,
leaving three frst.ciass and two seq
ond. class men wanting employment.
Business is moving promptly to all points
South. Three operators returned at Nor
'olk, Va, yesterday, and Superintendent
Tree Of Richmond, says that in his district
he strikers openly admit their defeat. The
idyices received from other points also
seem to Indicate that the men are losing
courage and are willing to return to work
Il any time. At noon dispatch was
received at the Western Union office, stat
M that niue first class operators returned
10 work in Buffalo to-day, and as many who
applied were rejected. Two were taken
back at Rochester.

PITrsBURG, Pa. August 1.-The strike
Of the Pan Handle railroad telegraphers,
naugurated last evening, is over. All the
operators who left their instruments last
evening have returned to work The com.
pany is renstating them with the uuder-
standing that they leave the Brotherhood
The officials OF the brotherhood pronounce
the telegram ordering the Pan Handle oper-
ators out bogus. The Fort Wayne tele.
graphers are still working and those in
position to know say that the strike will
not be ordered. Fifteen Eastern wires OF
the Western Union were cut last night and
fifteen more rendered useless by connect
jng with fine wire. This cunning trick was
the work Of an expert.
