The Presidential Party.

CAMP ROBERT LINCOLN, Wy, August
IL, via Fort Washable, August IL. -Presi-
dent Arthur's party left the fork Of the
Wild river at $3.50 this morning, followed
the tortuous wndings OF the river nearly
to Its source, then began the ascent OF
Robert Lincoln pass, used by Lieut., Gen,
Sheridan last year and named in honor OF
the Secretary Of War, The pass Is the short
est and easiest OF the routes between the
valley Of Wild river and the Snake river
valley. The party reached camp al IL
O'Clock, having Travelled about seventeen
miles. The camp Is named Robert Lin
coin, and Is situated on the crest OF the
backbone OF the Rocky mountains at an
attitude Of 5000 feet above the level OF the
sea. Within hundred yards OF the camp
are streams which flow respectively into the
Atlantic aud = acltic oceans. The President
spent part OF yesterday trout fishing and re-
turned TO camp with the heaviest catch OF
the party. The average weight OF the
trout was two pounds, Surgeon Farwood
returned to camp having shot an elk OF
enormous size and weight. The other hum
tiers brought In two antelope and good
supply OF mountain grouse and wild ducks.
Tomorrow morning the party is to begin
the descent OF Lincoln pass and will camp
in the valley Of the Gros Yentre river,
where the first view OF the grand Teton
mountains will be obtained. All the party
are in excellent health and spirits. Game
abounds, but Gen. Sheridan has given per-
emptory orders that no more shall be killed
than is absolutely necessary for the wants
OF the command.

A Contractors Estimate Of the Cost
Of Telegraph Lines
Cornell Giants to Sell Western Union
stook-Three Men Killed by an
Explosion Of Giant Powder
The Jolly Tourists
Other News.

NEW YORK, August T.-Danie Z. Rob.
eson, telegraph engineer and contractor,
was the first witness examined to-day by
the United States Subcommittee on Edu.
cation and Labor. lie said that he bad
seen McCIellan's estimate Of the cost Of the
construction OF telegraph line Of eight
wires from No York to Chicago, wherein
the latter said il could be completed for op
Grafton for the sum Of S725, $50. This, the
witness thought was about hal, the real
cost OF construction. Such line would
cost at least thousand dollars per mile.
lie was not prepared TO give detailed esti.
mate OF the cost OF construction and equip
ment, and for this reason Senator George
said he thought the opinion Of the witness
was not much value as evidence. A warm
controversy ensued between the Senator
from Mississippi and Senator B air, chair.
man, who accused his colleague Of his dis.
courtesy TO the witness in interruptng the
latter by any such expression OF opinion.
senator George replied that he proposed to
take up a. much time as be liked in ques-
tioning The witnesses, aud insisted upon the
complete statement o the cost OF each item
Of expense in the construction. The wit.
ness refused 10 answer the question any
more definitely than he had done, as he
said he thought it would be contrary to his
interest to do so.
THE COST OF RIGHTS OF WAY.
In regard to the rights OF way the witness
had known Of cases where over 81 900 had
been paid for the privilege Of erecting six
poles. This item was probably the most
important IN the cost OF construction. On
some routes the cost OF rights Of way were
much larger than on others. The most eX-
pen'iye route 10 this respect would be, he
thought, that Of line between Washington
AMI Boston, and the right OF way between
Washington and Chicago could not be ac-
quired except for large consideration,
proving that he had the right OF way pos
sesscd by the Western Union company.
Robson asserted that he would willingly
undertake 10 reproduce the entire telegraph
system Of this country for fifty million
dollars. The most valuable
rights Of way possessed BY the
Western Union were those obtained from
the railroad systems Of the country, AND
no estimate could be formed OF the cost to
the Western Union o. acquiring these ease
ment. The ordinary expense connected
with this item Is incurred in obtaining the
rights Of way through the cities. This was
usually placed under the head Of legal eI-
pen>es, for lawyers are usually employed
10 obtain privileges in these cases. The
witness had been engaged in the construc-
ton Of the Mutual Union, American Rapid
and several railroad lines.

misunderstood their necessary results. The
country was large enough and ricn enough

NV YORK, August l7.--There are
great many blank couutenances to-day at
the hotels. There is a rumor here that A.
b. Cornell is a heavy loser by Western
Union and other stocks. 1t is said that in
one Office in New York he had q, 900 shares
OF Western Union to bis account When
the worst decline took place he weakened,
and instructed his broker to offer the whole
block to Jay Gould al -. The stock was
then % to 73S without many purchasers.
Gould is said to have known that the stock
was Corneh's and declined to buy Yet
Mr.. Gould has sold 3, 600 shares to Cornell
not very long at S5S and would on these
have pocseted profit OF S67 800. Everybody
here believes that one OF the principal
causes OF the feeling against the Western
Union is 10 be found in the presence
OF man like A. b. Cornell In the
board OF directors. He is regarded as a
model fraud. While Governor Of the state
and ambitious for reelection, be posed
@ an anti. monopolist, Yet,he has been all
the time at heart in favor OF monopolies
and would be monopolist OF a most grasp
lng and insolent character II be .only had
the opportunity. The Western Union COM
pany foolishly put him on the committee to
arrangeea settlement with the operators be-
fore the strike commenced. This stamped
the committee at once as an offensive one.
1t was not forgotten that Cornell had been
one OF the most arbitrary and unyelding of
the Western Union directors when the
strike Of 1870 took place during Mr.. Will
liam Orton's absence in Europe.

THE STRIKE

turning to Work - An Official
Order.

NEW YORK, August 17.-One Of the
most prominent striking telegraph opera.
tors said to-day that the strike was practi-
caIIy at an end. He believed in the Broth
erhood and stuck by it as long as he could,
but they were beaten, and might as we'll
give up first as last. He had signed the
iron clad oath and would return to work TO-
morrow. He knew OF many operators who
would endeavor TO return at once. The
''iron clad OATH referred to compels the
telegrapher to pledge himself to withdraw
from the Brotherhood and never again to
Join similar organization.
Press Agent Somervie OF the Western
Union said that no wires were tempered
with Thursday night and all circuits are
working nicely. In addition to the
seventeen telegraphers who returned to
work Thursday ten more returned to- day,
three OF them ladies'.
