A Conference-Order FOR "a Strike of Rail-
road Operators Probable.
New York, July pa p~rotracted
interview WAS held this morning be-
tween Chairman Mitchell of the execu-
tive committee of telegraphers in the
strike, and Master Workman Camp
bell of the t%elegraphers brotherhood.
The result is not made public, but it
was limited that unless the Western

mise by Monday, the railroad opera
tors on the Wabash and other lines in
which Jay Gould is deeply interested
will be ordered on u strik.
AN APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Washington. ID. c., July 29.-A
committee of three of the brotherhood
of telegraphers waited on the presi-
dent OF the United States to-day, and
not being able to see him left his sec
rotary the following communication:
To the President of the United states.
At Il meeting of the Washington as
sembly ofthe brotherhood of telegraph
ers and knights of Labor held on the
evening of July 2S; it was resolved that
a committee of three be appointed to
wait upon your excellency and make
the following representations,
which this organization stands
prepared TO substantiate if given the
opportunity to do SO. 1t is respectful
~ represented to the executive
that AS a result of the obstinate
attitude assumed by the Western I'm
ion and Baltimore and Ohio telegraph
companies in matters pending, there
is u practical suspension of Geographic
communication, and very inn
portant interests of the government are
paralyzed. 1t is alleged by this
assembly that the telegraphic cores
pondence of the state, war, navy, in
terror, treasury and postoi1ice depart
ments have for ten days past, been
subjected to delay and garbling, grew
ing out of the inability of the corpora
tons above mentioned to properly
handle the dispatches of the national
government. 1t is further alleged
by this assembly that the necessary fa-
%cilities for the prompt and intelligent
transmission of reports and bulletins
of the signal service bureau of the
war department are withheld by the
Western Union Telegraph company.
BY such Withholding of facilities, ii
is believed by this assembly that the
agricultural and mercantile industries
are at present badly hampered, and
their future seriously threatened. All
this it is represented is in direct
violation of United States statutes.
Cholera and yellow fever threatens
the United, States, and in such juno
lures the sanitary arm of the govern
ment should, we believe, be strength
ened and not paralzed. That prompt,
accurate and cheerful support in.the
matter OF easy communication be-
tween distant points is absolutely
essential to strengthening that service,
is a truth which is passed without ar
gument. We hope and believe you
will Immediately instruct the law of
ficers of the government to officially
investigate these allegations, anu kate
such steps as may be necessary to as
sert the rights of the government in
the premises.

Alexander Lamb, n Cattle stea,er. Involun-
tarily Retires from BUSINESS.
Information from Langtry shows
that Alexander Lamb has heen shot
and killed by Deputy Sheriff Norris
of Kinney county. The details are of
a meagre character, but it appears that
Lamb was n notorious cattle
thief and had for years
pursued his nefarious avocn-
ton. A few months since he removed
TO Langtry, and Norris, having traced
him, datSrmined to effect his arrest
and bring him TO justice. Norris met
Lamb on Wednesday and told him
that he was his prisoner. Lamb re-
piled. attempting to draw his pistol,
when Norris shot him in
the leg. This somewhat star
tied Lamb, and he lowered
his pistol, but when the second de-
mand was made to surrender Lamb
failed to comply, whereon Norris shot
him through the heart, killing him
instantly. Lamb died, rs he always
declared he would, with his boots on.
Later in the day a Chinaman dug n
grave on the spot where
he died and threw i'm the re.
mains Of the defunct cattle dealer.
He had lived like u wild dog, preylng
upon others, and like "A dog he was
buried. No tears were shed over his
grave, indeed the only feeling exhibi.
ted was that of joy at Knowing that
the cattle stealer's occupation, us far as
Lamb was concerned, was gone in
deed.
