In an article under the head Of Texas

ing upon the heels of the accidental failure Of
a meeting between Governor Madero and
Governor Ireland at Laredo, the visit Of the
latter to Saltillo and his warm and cordial re-
ception by the people of Coahuila, form an
agreeable fact and one ominous Of good re-
suits. 1t is now known that Governor Ire
land was prevented from meeting Governor
Madero at Laredo by the delay of a tele-
gram, and the honors paid him by the late
| guests of Texas on their own ground show
that so far from any ohense having been
given, the most kindly sentiments exist 1t
is fitting that such events should take place,
10 order that the unpleasant feeling and app
| prehensions of hostility that the border
troubles and the Monterey difficulty had ex-
cited, might be swept away. Had Governor
Ireland gone to Mexico with no other intent,
his action should be esteemed polite and
wise. Such interchange OF official courtesy
and the benefits that flow from personal con
ference do more to produce good feeling and
confidence than score Of treaties or any
amount Of correspondence at long range"

Telegraph operators held large meeting to-

the places of strikers. One was the best
operator in the city who had been away on a
vacation and returned yesterday. He did

counted on by tie Western Union, but he
refuted 10 work.

Of business offering. a large number OF OPP
orators were re- ieved from duty so they
might obta u rest and recreation, and Iet1rn

The telegraph officials assert every thing is
moving along smoothly at this point, and
that all business is being handled promptly.
They said the force is constantly receiving
accessiOns, and that they not only have
enough operators 10 perform full SER
vice here, but have been able to
send several to other points
not so we'll supplied. Superintendent Baker
says his entire district is. now in very good
shape and that not a single important point
in the Southwest is lacking in force 10 do
the business offered. The strikers have
held no meeting to-day, but they are
ective, and confident and very sanguine Of
winning their fight. One OF the prominent
members of the Brotherhood says they hive
initiated new members every day since the
number since Thursday, giving
them total strength here of about
300. They also assert that several ex-opera-
tors now engaged in other business have
Joined the Brotherhood in order to give ii
their moral support. The sentiment of mer.
chants on Change seems TO be generally in
favor of the strikers, but the opinion of the
press is against them.

NEW YORK, July % The force of opera
tors which reported for duty at the Western
Union Office this morning numbered about
200, and il was said that none OF those who
were at work last week were missing from
their posts. There was no business left over
last night and this morning all wires were
clear and there was no delay in handling all
matters. One of the officers said the outlook
was becoming more encouraging every day.
de said The force at our command is now
more advsntsgeously distributed than at
any time sirce the beginning of the strike,
and everything is working much more
smoothly than could have been ex-
pected under the circumstances. Under
this arrangement Of our forces, We hope to
avoid IN future ali those delays which neces-
sarily resulted from the demoraliz alton at
tending the strike last week. The number
Of applications for situations is increasing
each day, and before the end of the week we
hope to have most of the empty desks filed.
II certainly dees not seem as though we were
much hampered, when we are able to send
and receive messages TO and from all points
in the South and West. The statement that
our business in the Gulf States is com pletely
blookaded is without foundation. This
morning every wire is working clear and we
are getting along about as well as before the

morning is not confirmed by facts, and all
were at work as usual.
TIE striking telegraph operators held a
meeting this morning st Irving Hall, at
which Chairman John Mitchell presided.
About 500 persons were present, of whom
fifty we're ladies. Great enthusiasm was
manifested. Encouraging reports were re-
eeived from many points, and dispatches
from all over the South and West were read
by the Chairman. In several points in the
South the offices are entirely vacaJed, as in
the case Of Charlotte, y. c., where il was re-
ported the manager, chief operators and all
hands struck. All lawlessness was forbidden,
and it was announced that the Brotherhood
would assist in the prosecution of any one
found destroying telegraph property. Every
one seemed TO feel confident the strike will
soon be brought to a close aud the Company
concede the demands of the strikers. Ad-
dresses were made by several members of the
brotherhood ard by John Gompers, Presi-
dent Ct the Trade and Labor Unions Of this

New York Herald:


The situation at the Produce Exchange
was unquestionably worse than il has been
sat any time. Not a single quotation OF the
prices for grain on the Chicago Board of
Trade was received by the Western Union
wires, although they run direct from the
floor of one Exchange to the other, and
shortly before noon the Postal Telegraph
Company had single key on table IN the
barley corner of the grain floor working to
Chicago, and few grain quotations man
sged to get through. The New York prices
were sent by this wire TO Chicago and few
private messages, no charges being made for
the service. This meagre channel was the
only medium of communication between the
two great grain centers
There were five operators out Of twenty
three at work in the Western Union Office,
including the manager himself at the key
board. Only three of the men were ex-
peIienced. The manager himself looks pale
and careworn. After working all day on
Change he has been taking turn at the
main Office of the Company and working
nearly all night The Baltimore and 0Aio
Office had one operator. The Mutual Union
Office wss closed yesterday because there was
only one clerk in attendance and no opera
tors. The messenger boys were discharged,
and as they filed out into the street they
gave three cheers for the strike and were ap-
plsuded by the assembled brokers, some of
whom promised to see that the youngsters
were given employment. The manager of
the Mutual Union Office said that he would
have gone out Thursday with the rest but
for the fact that he had to settle up his ac-
counts. He was ordered to work the black
board in place Of striker bat promptly re-

SoMERvILLE, N. J., July 23.-Boundbrook
and Middlebush are excited over the case of
couple named Sullivan, each over sixty
years old, who have been committed to the
Jail in this place TO await trial upon charge
of having burned the house and barn on
their farm in the town of Middlebush, near
Boundbrook. The Sullivans have lived on
their farm for many years, and have been
generally respected by their neighbors. They
were regular Church-goers. On the Fourth
of July they drove in the afternoon to
Boundbrook for the purpose, they said of
hiring harvest hands. They did hire some
men and took them back to the farm.
When they arrived there, at about
10 o'clock at night they found
their house and barn in ruins. They
professed establishment, but the haste they
were in TO collect the insurance money
81 GGO-of the Readington Mutual Fire In
surance Company, aroused the suspicion of
the officers OF the Company, and the matter
was given into the hands of detective. A
few days ago the latter discovered that
10 ge amount of furniture and other goods
for which the Sullivans claimed compensa-
tion as having been burned was concealed
in the woods on their farm. Upon this evil
dence they were arrested, and arraigned be-
fore Boundbrook Justice of the Peace.
They then confessed that they had set fire TO
their buildings for the purpose of obtaining
the insurance money, being ignorant of the
fact that that would go to the holder of
mortgage of 81 800 on the property. They
said that before leaving home to go to Bound.
brook they arranged lighted candles in such
a way that after burning for some time they
would set fire to both the house and the barn.
