 Photographers W0ges-Dr. Green Gives
 Facts and Figures to the Senate Com-
 mIttee.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-At the afternoon session of the Senate subcommittee on edu- cation and labor Dr. Norvin Green testified that the expense of running the Western Union Telegraph company was about eleven million dollars year. Dividends were paid on eighty million dollars of stock. The last dividend was at the rate of per cent. per annum. A majority of the operators in the employ of the company had risen from mes- senger boys and the average wages paid to operators in all the offices controlled by the Western Union were $64.90 a month. The average rate paid to operators in London was $28, 61 per month and the highest wages paid to the best operators were one hundred pounds year. After many years of service their wages were raised to 413O per year. Many girl operators in London only received eight shillings week. In answer to ques- tion by Senator Blair, Dr. Green said he be- lieyed that the average operators in America were far superior to the English operators. that they do more work and do it better Dr. Green said that when he heard that the operators had struck he felt that they had to beat the strike at any cost. If they had net they could not tell where it would have stopped. In his opinion the cause of the strike was an account of an opinion formed byt the men that there was only limited number of operators and that they could do just they wanted. A general reduction of from to 25 per cent. took place after the panic in 1873, but in many cases had been raised again. The agreement that operators now had to make was that they would not belong to any organization that claimed to control the rate of wages that they should work for. The first agreement had been done away with.

CAMP ALLISON,
 Yellowstone Canon, Aug. 25,
 Via. Livingston. M. T., Aug. 30.
 Leaving the Yellowstone lake at 6:25 this morning tho Presidents party journeyed eighteen miles over 8 splendid trail to this point. The road was equal to any turnpike in the States and on the way the party halted at the wonderful Mud Geysers. One of them is known as ''the Editors Hate" and one as the Devils Caldron." As the party looked into the first and listened to the rushing and roar of the seething water and mud that eter- naIly bubbles but finds no outlet, it was gen. eralIy remarked that the place was properly named. The canon of the Yellowstone, on which we are now camping, surpasses description in grandeur. The two falls between which we have pitched our camp are equal in sublimity and beauty to any upon the continent. Leaping and rush. ing between precipices of red and yellow rock, the Yellowstone river seems to tear its way through solid mountains, leaving in it's pathway forms of uncouth and awful mai esty seen nowhere else. Mingled with these scenes of nature we here find also the inevitable tourists male and female, each of whom is anxious to see not only the canon but thesspresident, and it is wickedly sug- gested by some that the eyes of these lovers

Joslyn, an honored citizen, shot and killed Etta Buckingham, lady of pleasing address but whose reputation was not of the best. Joslyn's wife died about five years ago and for the past year he has paid considerable at- tention to Miss Buckingham. Of late he be- came exceedingly jealous of her and has treated her badly. At the hour mentioned Joslyn made his way to the girls room in the hotel taking of his boots the better to make his way silently along the halls. He was de- nied admission to her room, when he quickly forcsd the door in, scufae ensued and he drew his revolver and shot her twice, the second ball piercing her heart and she fell dead. He stopped for minute over her prostrate form and then evidently realizing the work he had done placed the revolver to his own head and sent ball through his brain, falling dead beside his victim.
