TELEGRAPH TROUBLES.
Operators Think They See a Chance TO
Strike Successfully.

New YORK, Dec. l3.
The World says, touching the alleged die
satisfaction among the Western Union opera
tives: The termination of the pool between
the Postal Telegraph and the Bankers (
Merchants Telegraph Co. has put u new
phaze on the supposed impending telegraph
strike. 1--WE are so per cent. better of today
than we were yesterday" remarked an oper-
ator yesterday, land we could now afford to
strike. The prospect was pretty bad before,
because winter 10 not good time for us to
try to force the Western Union into doing
what is fair by US. They might have been
able to keep US on if we struck if it hadn't
been for the breaking up of the pool between
the Bankers & Merchants and Postal COM
panies. Now there will be plenty of work
because there will be two offices where there
there was only one before. good many
operators have been out of work but they can
now step into places. The Western Union
will lose many of their best men who are not
willing to work for the wages the company
pays since special work has been taken Off
In this connection it may be stated that it
Is reported that an investigation will be asked
by Congress into the reduction In rates de-
manded for telegraphing to Sandy Hook
Instead of the news of the arrival of an ocean
steamer being bulle med at the postoffice
Immediately on receipt of the information,
it is claimed that it is kept back until the
steamer is or at past quarantine. People
who are awaiting the arrival of friends are
compelled to telegraph to Sandy Hook to
gain definite information coming on the
steamers. Although the telegraph line is
less than 20 miles long, the price of a mes
sage is 81.

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
Arguments in Favor of Making 1t Brach
OF the Civil Service.

WASHINGTON Dec. IS.
A letter written by Gen. Hazen by Gen.
c. 0. Comstock secretary of committee of
the National Academy of Science, embody-
ing an argument against the transfer of the
weather service from the military to the
civil branch of the government, WAS for
warded to the joint committee of the House,
which is considering the organization Of sew
eral scientific bureaus of the government, and
is furnished for publication. He says;
II have the honor to express my decided
opinion, based upon long observation and
careful study, that no other than a military
organization can serve that unbroken series
of bureas, and the report, which alone give the
highest value to forecasts of the weather
and other branches of our meteorological
work, and such is the testimony of all foreign
meteorological authorities whose opinions
have learned
Gen. Hazen says the saving in money can
only be effected by completing the present
partial organization of the corps. The sig.
nal corps has head and feet, the former with
the rank of brigadier general and the latter of
second lieutenant, but the intermediate grades
constitute the unfinished part.
These grades now filled by temporary de-
tails from the line of the army, and before
the officers detailed are fully familiar with
their duties as signal officers, their colonels
keep calling for them to go back into their
regiments, which calls finally prevail. Thus,
when they become useful, they are lost to
the service. The need of the service make
il imperative that the intermediate grades OF
field officers, captains and first lieutenants,
may be now made not only on the score of
efficiency, hut of economy. Economy many
times greater than the additional cost for
salaries can be effected by completed organi-
zation. / have no doubt but that had / had
an organized corps with officers of my own
whose points | fully knew, the disaster that
overlook the Greedy relief expedition of 1888
would not have occurred. The want of such
a corps is felt every day. l don't think,
Gen. Hazen concludes, "the signal service
should be related in any way to the othel
scientific branches of the public service, ex
cept in smity and corteous cooperation wher
opportunities occur.

FROM WASHINGTON.
FORY.EIGHTH CONGRESS.
Proceedings in the HOuse-Suspension
of the Rules for the Immediate Dis
posal of Selected Measures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA.
In the House OF Representatives tomorrow,
after the usual call for the introduction of
bills. il will be in order for the committee to
move TO suspend the rules for the immediate
passage of selected bills or the adoption of
resolutions Zone measure from each commit
tee) or for the naming of special days on
which specified measures reported from the
committees may be considered. The com
mittee on banking and currency is first on
the list and will ask the House TO set apart
a special day for the discussion of the Nc
Pherson funding bill and the Dingley bill,
which provides for the investment of bank
note redemption fund in government bonds.
Other committees will move to suspend the
rules as follows:
On coinage, weights and measures, to pass
Representative Lacey's bill prohibiting the
issue of treasury notes of lower denomina-
ton than s., and providing for the issue of
$40, 81 and So silver certificates,
The committee on commerce. to pass Rep
resentative Hablitzelps bill to promote the
efficiency of the revenue merine service.
On agriculture. to pass the bill making the
commissioner of agriculture cabinet officer.
The House committee on appropriations
intends TO report both the District of Colum-
bia and consular and diplomatic appropria-
ton bills. During the present week the
former will probably be reported, so that it
may be cvlled up for action Tuesday after
noon. The inter State commerce bill will be
called up for continued discussion when no
appropriation bill is before the House. Mr..
Reagan hopes to secure an action on 1t by the
close of Thursdays session.
When this bill shall have been disposed of
the friends of the Mexican pension bill will
endeavor to secure an action on that measure.
They will be antagonized, however, by the
friends of the educational bill and by those
of the bill authorizing the construction of
national library building. The bill for the
admission of Dakota is unfinished business,
and its consideration will continue after the
morning hour until it is disposed of.
The first of the especial orders on the cal
endar in the Senate is the bill to establish
commission to regulate inter-Stats commerce.
Should this measure come up it is likely to
consume the remainder of the week. 1t is
however, that Senator Blair will
antagonize with one of his 'labor" bills now
on the calender. Probably a resolution Of
adjournment for holiday recess be passed
during the week. 1t is said that the ways
and means committee will report in favor of
adjournment on Tuesday, the 23d inst There
i'd, however, strong sentiment in favor of
adjourning.next Friday or Saturday.
