THE TELEGRAPH TROUBLES.
THE FIGHT STILL SLOWLY PRO.
GRESSES.
The Western Union Give Ont Most Favor.
able Reports, While the strikers are
Still Confident OF Success.
rBy telegraph IN the Dispatch

NEW YORK, August 9.--The Western
Union Telegraph Company reported this
morning that there had been no wire-cut.
ting last night that business was all cleared
up this morning when the day force took
their desks that one lady operator who
had been ont with the strikers returned to
work this morning; and that there was no
truth in the statement that the company
was losing $4,000 day in consequence OF
the strike. The company was not losing
anything at all, and it was probable
that the net receipts were little.
II any, below the average. There
was OF course falling Off of gross receipts.
and this upon good authority was stated TO
be less than - per cent. On the other
hand. the company's expenses have been
diminished. as many small offices were not
open and the force was smaller in all larger
offices. While the company was not
making as much perhaps as before the
strike, it was not losing anything. in re-
gard to the amount OF business now ac-
tually handled by the company. 1t was
said that it was equal to more than three
quarters Of its ordinary bulk. 1t was not
true that the American Rapid had been
employed by the Western Union to trans
nit delayed messages. The Western Union
was fully capable OF handling its own busi-
mes. without resorting to the wires OF any
other company.
The strikers are still confident OF sue
cess, and exhibit no indications OF weak
ness. They insist that railroad operators
in the West are all out, notwithstanding
statements to the contrary made by repre-
sentatives Of the railroad companies.
RETURNING TO WORK.
AUGUSTA. Ga, August 9.-Thc strike
among the telegraphcrs in the Third dis
trict OF the southern division is regarded as
practically ended. The full force returned
to work at Charleston to-day.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 9.-In to-
days session OF the Amalgamated Iron
and Stockholders Convention resOlu-
ton was concurrcd in enioining delegates
to observe the strictest secrecy towards
memhera OF the press in regard to the pro-
ceedings OF the Convention. 1t is an
nounccd that the bulk Of business will
probably protTact the Convention two
weeks or longer. The membership OF the
Association is placed at 1900. Heavy eX-
penses on account OF strikes have necessi-
tated some financial measures, and an
assessment about September Isl is pro-
posed. The Association is now drawing
largely on its surplus for current expenses.

wealthy widow Of the founder Of the Ame-
rican Express Company, the bridegroom
being ex-City-Clerk Frank +. Fargo, a

The affair Il exceedingly romantic.
Mrs. FaTgo's friends have tried every
means in their power to break up the
match, and about six weeks ago the lady
authorized public denial OF the engage
ment. IL Is now believed that this was
done for the purpose Of quoting opposi-
ton. The gentleman continued ms atten-

ment. Then 1t was reported that the we'd

its occurrence this evening will be a sur

The President Among the Indians.

TIE SHOSHONEs AND THE ARAPAHOEs PAY
THEIR Observation-Disclosures OF THE PRESl-
DENT, AND THE INDIAN REPLIES.
fly telegraph to the Dispatch.l
Fort WASACKIE, WYOMING, August o.
In accordance with the expressed wish OF
the ShoshoneS and OF the ArapahOe chiefs,
their people were afforded an opportunity
of calling upon the President at O'Clock
this afternoon. Shortly before that hour
they gathered on the plains to the
number OF about five hundred, the
warriors mounted upon their hand
some ponies. They dashed forward
i'm line for about thousand yards to
point near which the President stood
awaiting them. The column then halted,
and several OF the chiefs dismOunted and
approached. Among them were WaSackie,
the remarkable chief OF the Shoshones.
from whom this post takes its name, and
Black Colt, the chief OF the Arapahoe
tribe, which within a few years has been
nermitted to share the occupancy of this
reservation.
The President then thanked his visitors
for calling on him, and congratulated them
on their fine appearance. Measured them
OF his interest in their welfare, ana OF his
satisfaction upon hearing OF their eXem-
plarv conduct, and their growing atten-
ton to the practice OF industrial pursuits.
His address, which was admirably suited
TO the occasion, was interpreted to the Sho-
shones by an 'EngliSh-speaking member OF
their tribe. who bears the name OF Nor
cutt, and to the Araphoes by one OF their
number who was educated at Carlisle
school. The chiefs replied, and their re-
marks were similarly interpreted. Chief
Sharp Nose then presented the President
with handsome pony for his daughter.
Gifts OF moccasins and leggings were pre-
scented to the members OF the party. Then
followed war-dance, in which twenty
young Shoshone braves took part.
