ed on the southern circuit, principally to
Washington and Philadelphia In the
Jersey meadows, between Jersey CITY and
the car shops on the western routes. all
the American Union and Mutual Union
wires to the number Of eighteen, and five
Hudson River wires have been cut. This
city Is just south Of Manhattanyille.
At the yarieus points on the eastern
circuit thirty-thrse wires have been
cut, also in the vicinity OF Manhat.
tsnyile. A large force OF linemen have
cen sent out to repair the damage. Some
delay has been caused, but business was
sent by other routes as soon as could be
completed. The Interruptions to these
wires. occurred shortly after o'clock this
morning. at about the same time, showing
that the action was concerted.
At the Western Union office it was said
this morning that two more men returned
since last night and others were expected
to apply to-day.
From Superintendent Trabue. Of Nash
vile, the following dispatch was received:
"One striker returned at Macon, Georgia,
yesterday, which completes fail force there.
All the strikers at Savannah, seven in mum.
ler, applied to return to work yesterday
We have but two vacancies and but two of
the applications were accepted, leaving
three iirst-class aud two secOnd-class men
wanting employment Business is moving
promptly to all points south. Three opera.
tors returned at Norfolk, Virginia, yester-
day, and Superintendent Tree, OF Rich
mond, says in his district the strikers
openly admit their defeat. Advices
received from other points also seem TO in
dicate that the men are losing courage and
are willing to return TO work at any time.
At noon dispatch was received at the
Western Union office, stating that nine first.
class operators returned 10 work In Buffalo
to-day, and as many more, who applied,
we're rejected. Two were taken back at
Rochester.
There has been some MISUNDERSTANDING
among the brotherhood, and in the meeting
there has been some urgent addresses made
in behalf OF a surrender. The leaders of
the strike, however, generally declare their
satisfaction at the prospect and belief in
ultimate success. In the meantime, aces.
sions to the ranks Of the working force
throughout the country continue, aud for
the past two days have seen increasii z
considerably, so much, in fact, that
II WAS believed yesterday there
had been break Of some magnitude
among the strikers. To-day developments
discredit this theory, but indicate clearly
that steady disintegration is going on.
The brotherhood have, however, much
sympathy rom other Organizations, and
have received sOae substantial aid, and are
encouraged by the reports OF further defec-
tions from the company In certain direc.
tlons, aud OF the partial strikes among the
railroad operators. Reports of compro-
mise between the Baltimore & Ohio and It's
former employees do not seem TO have any
base of fact, The Western Union company
declare the strike is over for good, so far n
any buck-iown or concession on their pa
is concerned. They are certainly making
no unusual efforts TO obtain men and evince
much uncoucern respecting applicants, Sc
lecung carefully from all Comers the best
workmen. II seems likely that many VI
the best telegraphers who went ou' will
seek other employment at once rather than
wound their own pride by c0nfessing a
mistake. This will be partial remedy for
the plethora Oi the operators which has rem
dered the strike contest OF such length
aud will perhaps bring relief to those who
resume work.

uon to trains or business anywhere in the
state, and the strike so far has been ut.
terly Insignificant. Some OF the Western
Union wires leading eastward aud north
ward from this city were tied with very fine
copper wire Thursday night, but business
was not stopped aud the line was soon re-
stored to good order again.
PIrrsBuRG, Aug. 1.-THE strike Of the
Panhandle railroad telegraphers, inaugu-
rated last eyeHing, is over. All the opera.
tors who left their instruments last evening
have returned to work, the company rein
stating them with the understanding that
they leave the brotherhood. The officials
OF the brotherhood pronounce the telegram
ordering the Panhandle operators out,
bogus. The Fort Wayne telegraphers are
still working, and those In position to
know say a strike will not be ordered.
Fifteen eastern wires OF the Western Union
we're cut last night, and several more rem
dered useless by connecting with fine wire.
The cutting was the work of an expert.
BALTIMORE, Aug 1.-THE officials Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph company re
port the situation unchanged, as well NJ
their first determination not TO treat with
the brotherhood. They dlsclaim positively
any knowledge Of any committee Of teleg-
raphers having been sent for as reponed.
