The Telegraph Situation.

AT NEW YORK.
New YORK, July 2S.-The Western Union
to-day removed the notices "subject to de-
lay" and all business will hereafter be
taken as before the strike.
The meeting of the striking operators at
Clarendon hall was well attended to-day.
No new developments. The Western Union
sunerintepdent at Was bington telegraphed
that all business of the various depart
ments is promptly handled, and the gov
eminent officials make no complaint ofde'
lays.
CHrcAeo. July 2S.-Superintendent
Clonery received this afternoon the follow
ing telegram from Mr.. Somerville, defining
The Situation in New York city: Every
thing is in good shape this morning. The
PAPERS deride the bulletins read by the
leading striking operators, stating that all
the circuits were blockaded with business
hours and days old, while some bulletins
assert that two thirds OF our operators
are sitting idle and without room, and the
other one.third doing little on account OF
the great falling off in business. An inves-
tigation shows that while the members OF
the chamber of commerce were holding a
meeting Yesterday, called by its members
for the purpose of denouncing the tele-
graph service, answers to their dispatches
were being received from st. Louis and
Chicago inside of nine minutes. Two men
have returned to work at Bradford.
AT NEW ORLEANS.
New ORLEANS, July 2S.-At meeting OF
the committee appointed by the various
commercial organizations, now being sus-
tanned by our whole commercial community
to confer together in regard to the existing
strike of telegraph operators, the following
was unanimously adopted.
Resolved, In view OF imperfect tele-
graphic service at present existing,
which has served to PROSTATE
commercial business between this
CITY and its electrical connections,
the representative commercial bodies OF
New Orleans urge as indispensable such
immediate action on the part OF the Western
Union Telegraph company as will tend to
restore the commerce OF our city to
its normal condition and prevent
continuance OF the heavy
losses aud serious Inconvenience.

uE AP COKE PIG IRON IN THE vIR-
GINIA8,

Prof. MCCREATH, the chemist Of the
Geological Survey Of Pennsylvania, in
a recently published report on the min
eral wealth Of Virginia, synopsis of
which we find in the Pittsburgh Post,
saws that in the southwestern part of
Virginia and in the southwestern Sec
ton of West Virginia is found an i'm
mense area of most excellent coking
coal, which is now about to be brought
into the market, and will speedily be
available in unlimited quantities for the
manufacture of coke pig iron in this
highly favored region. So closely does
this coal field lie to the ore beds that
the cost of making pig iron along
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
is put at startling low figures by Profess
sor MCCREATH, and he evidently
speaks by the card" AT Mines, Page
county, the Gem Furnace is now max
ing coke pig iron at an actual cost of
Sl2.55 per ton. Coke is brought from
Connellsville at present, as the new rail-
road under construction has not yet
reached the Southwest Virginia coal
mines and coke works, which are in
what are called the Flat Top region, at
the town of Poeshontas. The general
manager of the furnace at Roanoke,
which will soon be put in blast, esti-
mates that coke pig iron will cost him
but Sl2.5S per ton. The following are
the details of these two figures of cost:
