AT CASTLE GARDEN.
The superintendent of the Immigration
Bureau at Castle Garden says of the strike
of the lelegrsphers; "We are greatly troubled
on account of the opportunities OF the immi-
grants. who desire to communicate with
their friends in the country. The fact that
the Western Union Company has ceased TO
transmit money orders is another source OF
annoyance. Many immigrants are detained
in the city because they have net received
money necessary to pay for. their railroad
tickets to different points in the United
States, and this delay in proceeding to their
destinations is a great hardship TO the poor
immigrants. The German Soci.ty has made
arrangements TO assist people who may be
detained here and put to expense which they
would not havs incurred If they could have
proceeded to their destinations without de-
lay"
THE AMERICAN RAPID.
The majority of people regard the surren-
der Of the American Rapid to the demands
Of the strikers as a certain indication that
the strike is nearing its end. 1t is rumored
that the Baltimore and Ohio Company would

are now pending looking toward a consolids-
ton with the American Rapid Company,
thus forming q combination against the
Western Union. 1t was stated this morning

town Offices were opened, and 400 operators

pany. Thirty-eight branch offices in this
city were also reopened, and large amount
ot business is reported TO have been handled.
THE wEsrERN UNION COMPANY
still remains firm, however, in the position
assumed since the beginning OF the strike,
and shows no indication of weak sning. The
large force of operators on duty yesterday
| returned to-day and reports OF ide managers
of the operating-rooms showed that busi-
ness was being handled promptly. Press
Agent Somerville said the action of the
