The TelegrAphers.

New Y DIRK, July ll.-ln reference to
plated changes in the hours of labor, sal
aries, etc. of employees oi the Western
Union Telegraph Co., careful lnvcstjga-
ton devclopes the following facts: The
company has had in contemplation for
some time tho adoption of new rules for
the management of its business. The
committee having the matter in charge
has been holding meeting every week
for the past three months, and have fin
ally made their report, which has been
adopted by the company. One of the
most important rules in the new code is
that of determining the hours Of duty
and manner of paying for extra service,
the settlement of winch questions has
heretofore been lett largely with the
superintendents of the company whose
practice has varied according to require
ment of business, affected by climate and
other considerations The following is
the rule adopted at all independent West
ern Union offices which may be required
10 keep open all day Sunday, nine hours
actual service in a day. Six days in the
week and seven hours at night, seven
nights in week, will constitute days
work. All service IN excess of above
named hours, lnciudingsSunday to be re-
garded as extra and be paid for at reg
nlar salary on basis of seven hours to a
day. Above order was issued to-day and
10 Interpreted bv some of the operators as
having been forced from the company by
the fact that the brotherhood of tele-
graphsrs had demanded certain conces-
sions and threatened general strike un-
less their demands were at once complied
with. The officers of the company state
that no demands have been made upon
them of the kind indicated and that it
was necessary to issue the present order
now because its operation affects
&C counts Of the company for the current
month. 1t was intended to have the
new rules take effect at the beginning OF
the company's fiscal year, July lst., but
the printing of the rules has been delayed
unavoidably until this time. 1t is said
to-day that the reported strike OF the
telegraphers imminent Is unfouuded.
We have not decidet: to demand an ln-
crease in wages or anything else he salG
aud If any demand should be decided
upon it will not be made secretly and no
attempt will be made to take snap judg-
ment on the telegraph COMPANIES. Other
persons assert that the strike will take
place next week but Hughes statement is
regarded q authoritative.

Court Decision .

JACKSON, Miss, July AT Oxford,
Yesterday, Judge Hill quashed informa-
tion filed by Chalmers and Chandler
against Watson and Others growing out
Of Chalmers maintaining contest for
congress. The Judge stated that the in
formation charged no specific crime
against the government, and the grand
jury and witnesses being present would
permit no further proceedings upon the
information, but only on the indict-
ment. District attorney Chandler said
he would not be dictated to by the court
ss to how he was to do his business and
he would proceed no further in election
fraud cases until the matter was laid be-
fore the department of Justice at Wash
ington. Judge Hill said that this matter
could not be determined in his court
unless through finding by the grand jury
that the information was not favored but
only tolerated in extreme cases of which
the present was not one.

THE society or organization known as
Orangemen will in many places to-day
celebrate this the anniversary Of the bat
tie Of the Boyne, 1890, the year following
the coronation Of the Prince of Orange
as the king Of England in the title Of
William III, who some elghte. 4 years
before married the daughter of the Duke
of York who afterwards became king
of England in the title Of James II, and
who established a religion and constitu-
tion against which the people revolted,
the revolutionists calling to the throne
William, Prince of Orange, who led the
troops in the battle of the Boyne against
his father in law, j ames II, the dethroned
king, which was decisive of the issue.
In IT'S secret organization was instltu
ted called Orangemen for the purpose Of
encouraging professionalism and dlscoura-
ging catholicism. In 1885 this organi-
zation was outlawed by the house Of COM
mons, but was revived again ten years
later and has existed with more or less
prestige and influence since. especially
in Canada. Since the bloody riot that
attended parade Of the organization in
New York city few years ago, its dem
onstrations have been discouraged,
though not prohibited, in this country.
1t was founded in religious strife between
the protestants and catholics, AID the
demonstrations arc looked upon by the
catholics as taunts. 1t has no proprietary
application to this country where oil
sects worship God according to the die
tates of their own consciences and are
protected by Law in that right,

numbered by the hundred, and they will
add largely to the business interests of

the advantages Of jamestown as COM

with the Northern Pacific in local freights
a. we'll as for the through travel to the
Pacific slope. Railroad companies know
more about Dakota than any one person
or the people of any one town can tell
them. II is their business to know these
things. Railroads arc not built fer love
Of the people At any point. nor are they
withheld for dislike. They are built on
purely business principles. A farmer or
merchant or shipper may think certain
points would he good ones to strike with
y railroad and advise companies to build
10 them, but those who put their money
into railroads decide the objective points
from their own judgment. Other things
being equal they may defect their lines
for liberal bonus, but commercial ad-
vantages Is the consideration upon which
lines arc decided. The advantages of
Jamestown. in . commercial view, have
been thoroughly cauvassed by all rail-
roads needing in this direction.
