NEW YORK, July H.-The western Union
Telegraph company has sent out two circul
lars of arguments against the action of ths
postmaster general in fixing the rate to be
paid by the government for telegraph ser.
vice at l mill word regardless of distance.
He says:
81 have only to say that it would not re,
imburse what this company has to pay for
the clerical service in securing, countinal
checking, routing, numbering aud booking
the message before It's transmission; that it
would not reimburse what this company
has to pay for the time of any one of from
seven to eleven operators that would be en-,
gagged in the transmission of a message
from Washington to Portland, Ore; that
q message of ordinary length would not re-
imburse what we have to pay for it's delivery
by messenger after it has reached its desti!
nation, to say nothing of any part of the
cost of maintaining the lines; that the sup.
Plies, stationery, experimenting officsrs,
end other incidental expenses; and finally il
would not reimburse the cost to this conn any

Supplies for Starving Miners.


CHICAGO, July 29.-Mayor Cregier, Con-
gresham Lawler and other members of the
relief committee left here with &C, 600 tons of
provisions and supplies for the starving
lockout coal miners of Spring Valley, III.
There are about 1000 idle miners in the dis
trict, making with their families about g.
600.
The arrival of the train there was greeted
with great demonstrations of Joy and the
committee was greeted with the strains of
an improvised band. Everywhere there
were evidences of the most pinching poverty
apd restitution. Men, women and children
were most scantily clad in the cheapest of
materials and there was great dearth of
foot gear among them. Their faces bore
unmistakable evidence of hunger. These
people have been locked out nearly three
months and are absolutely on the verge of
starvation.

PRECIPITATION.
There has been a decied excess of rain
this week over the eastern half of the state,
except in the counties bordering the Mis-
SCUM river where it is slightly deficient. In
the north the excess continues west into
Rawlins. Another excess occurs in Scott,
Lane and Ness, south through Garfield,
Finney, Gray, haskell, Mead and Clark.
Some fine rains have fallen in Trego and
Cove. A deficiency occurs from Ellis

is about normal in the western portions of
Edwards and Kiowa, and eastern portion of
Ford. The heaviest rains for the week oc-

The benefit to the corn, potatoe, hay and
sorghum crops from the weather conditions

grasses third. crop of clover is being har-,
vested in localities. In the western DIVISION
in the northern and southern counties, the
crops are doing very well. In Lane and
Ness, where the hot winds of the 18th and
18th apparently injured the cane crop, the
recent rains have revived it, and it is again
growing nicely; here threshing is being vig-
orously pushed, some of the wheat in Lane
weighing as high as sixty three pounds.
