WESTERN UNION WAGES.
Rumors OF a Change in the System o
Paw,


\ new system Of paying operators is
generally understood to be contemplated
hv the Western Union Telegraph COmpa-
nv. The managers Of various offices
throughout the country have received in
structions to keep "A record of the mes
sages handled each day fer period of ten
DAYS. The new system Is understood to
he upon a commission basis, the opera
tors being paid for messages instead Of
a stated salary.
Manager Dillon, of the Savannah office,
said last night that he had received no
instructions, and knew nothing of the
matter, except that he had heard that the
managers OF one or two offices IN Tennes-
see had been ordered to keep record of
messages, but for what purpose he could
not saw. Upon being asked what he
thought would be the:eftect OF the adOp-
ton of a system Of paying per message
instead Of a salary he replied that in
some respects it would doubtless
he desirable change. 1t
probably would not be favored by the
operators. and like all radical changes
would be likely to result in good deal o I
confusion for time. 1t would naturally
stimulate the operators, and might posi-
Div result i'm some instances in a reduc-
ratOr, however, if the system was properly
regulated, would upon reasonable COM
mission basis, say of ~ cents per
message, make as much, or even more,
than upon a salary. The average opera
tor will easily handle 200 messages per
day. Upon ~ cent per message basis he
would he making SO per day, or SS1 per
month Of - days. The best operators are
n0t paid over that amount under the
present salary system, and the average
operator receives anywhere from $50 TO
SO. .'Of course" said Mr.. Dillon,
whatever ! say is without any knowl-
edge OF what is being done. / do not
know positively that any move is even be-
ing thought Of. The estimate Of y cents
per message is only to illustrate what
occurred to me would be most likely to be
accepted by the operator as a reasonable
pay
The operators do not look favorably
upon any change that Will be likely in
any way To result in reduction Of wages.
They arc opposed to a per message system
of pay, and say that If any such system
is adopted 1t will cause serious trouble.

W. sHlNGTON. December ia party Of
six Indians Of the Sac and Fox tribe,
dressed in all the saudy paraphernalis Of
the aboriginal fashion, attracted no little
attention at the Capitol. They wore blan-
kets and deliberately embroidered leggingx
They had turkey feathers In their hair,
bracele(s and ankIets OF silver; paint on
their cheeks, and one Of tl,em carried .
tOniahawk. Taken all in all they were the
finest collection OF aborigines Of
the dime novel type seen here in
= long time. They sauntered about
and became very much interested in the
historical paintings which adOrn the wallis
of the capitol rOtunds. These simple sons
Of the forest proved to bequite atfxble and
admitted that they owned farms aud titled
them. Somebody asked one OF them where

"Oh, running around with the boy"

out the water was breast high. Several
men arc reported missing and Il 10 feared
they have been drowned. An alarm was
spread to the other workings, Nos I and
2 shafts, all of wuich are connected with the
slope and all are Of lower and greater depth.
The alarm was promptly acted upon and
the w0rkmen hOisted ten at time to the

boys, all Of whom will be thrown out of
work. Yesterday afternoon the excitement
