There is nothing new to add regarding
the situation in st. Paul. The telegraphic
business is being conducted with a reason
able amount of celebrity, considering the
small force at work, but the operators are
beginning to complain of fatigue. and un
less reinforcements come from some quar-
ter soon they will be compelled to take a
rest. The strikers are as confident as ever,
and declare that under no circumstances
will they abate one jot or little of their de-
mands. They have plenty Of money to
sustain them through long strike. They
are certainly conducting themselves in an
orderly and gentleman!y manner, and have
the respect, if not the sympathy, of ell
classes of citizens.

THE OPERATORS REPORT.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 27.-The Brother
hood of Telegraphers met at the usual
hour. Roll was called and ffty-eight
members we're present. Committees were
heard from reporting favorable progress.
One new member was initiated. Visitors
from the typographical union and other
members of the knights of Labor were
present rendering sympathy, counsel and
financial aid If required. We still remain
hopeful and firm, and from private COM
munications read all tend to show that this
struggle cannot last much longer.
The Western Union are driven into des-
perate straits in some quarters. Induce
ments of all kinds are held out as an olive
branch to tempt the weak to return to the
fold, but they don't take to it kindly.

a set OF resolutions thanking President
Arthur for his recognition of skilled labor
il caising the salaries of the operators at
the White house.
