TO PREVENT INTERRUPTION.
Railway Photographers Send Man to
Prevent Pulling of Plugs.


Portland, Aug. 2l.-Local features Of
the telegraphers' strike yesterday were
the sending of A. o. Sinks, executive
member of the Oreder of Railway
Telegraphers, out ON the Southern Pa
cifc lines in Oregon to stop the pulling
OF plugs and other interruption Of serv-
ice by railway telegraphere; the deser-
ton of Mrs. L. /. Dolphin from the
strikers and her return to work at the
Postal Office, and the partial reorganiza-
ton of the messenger force:at the West
ern Union Office.
Despite these circumstances, striking
operators formerly employed by both
companies are standing firm and make
the statement that they are more con-
fident of winning now than at any time
since they walked out. 1t is said the
strikebreakers are being worn out by
the long Strain and that the companies
are unable to get any competent opera
tors whatever.
Brokers offices were silent yesterday,
not telegraph key clicking in either
the offices Of Overlook II Cooke in the
Couch building, or Downing & Hopkins
in the Chamber of Commerce. Wire
trouble south of Ashland is aecribed rs
the reason for the failure OF the former
company to receive quotations, while
the latter is said to have refused the
fragmentary service offered, the firm
declining to carry on operations in the
present demoralized condition of the
stock maket without complete informa-
ton of conditions in Chicago and Wall
street. Yesterday was the first day for
years that Portland people who dabbled
In stocks could not learn the state Of
the market.

Boise--Work has been commenced on
the grade for the main line of the Short
Line into Boise, and 1t will be built
from Mora, station IA miles east of
Nampa, instead of Orchard, as general
ly expected. The teams and grading
outfit unioaded at Mora made two car
loads. 1t Is eaid the Mora survey is
the only one ever approved by the off
'cials, who found 1t would save in mile
age and grade over the one surveyed
from Orchard. The Orchard route has
been abandoned altogether. A. l..
Throop, OF Nampa, is in charge OF the
construction work ON the cutoff.

for getting new railroad from that
direction are apparently better now

HAS BROTHER
FIGHTING IN
HONDURAS
PHILIP J, THOMPSON HAS A
MENT OF HONDURAS.

The Associated Press cablegrams
yesterday told of an uprising in Hon
| duras, Central America. That this
was expected by the government for
some time is the statement OF Philip j.
| Thompson who is at present in this
| city, having returned recently from
Honduras Mr. Thompson is thorough
| ly cOnversant with the political condi-
! tons in that country as he has a broth
er there who stands high in the gov
eminent
Il was not at all surprised to hear
of the outbreak there" said Mr..
Thompson last evening. I knew two
| months ago when I wan there that
there was trouble in the air. The gov
eminent knew that a revolution was
on the point of breaking out but did
not feel alarmed as they had consider
able money in the treasury and that is
what always wins in those Central Am
erican fights.
"NIy brother told me that a revolu-
ton would strike there sooner or later
and that he expected it about Christ
mas. An English syndicate wished to
get hold of about 10000 acres OF land
in the interior and they were making it
their business to stir up the trbuble,
But they will be fooled for the govern
ment learned of their plans and were
prepared.
my brother holds a position which
in the states would be called general
utility man. He is confidential secre-
tary to the President. His business is
to keep that fellow out of international
controversy. A part of the time he is
carrying on a warfare against yellow
fever and the next minute he is doing
detective work to learn of the plans of
revolutionlsts. I visited him but the
life was too strenuous so got out. l
have no doubt whatever but that the
revolution will soon end and that the
government will be victorious"
