st. Paul.
There is nothing new to add regarding
the situation in st. Paul. The telegraphic
business is being conducted with a reason
able amount of celerity, considering the
small force at work, but the operators are
beginning to com plain 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 all
classes of citizens.
