Prosecute Companies.

NEW YORK. Aug 15.-At the gen.
eral offices of both of the big telegraph
companies 1t was said today that every
hour was bringing them nearer to nor
NAL traffic conditions. Business was
moving to all parts of the country over
clear wires, and no difficulty was ex-
perienced in handling everything
offered.
1.-THE strike is over" declared Robert
G. Clowry, president and general man.
ager of the Western Union. I'VE are
having applications from the strikers
today, but we are turning them down.
We are filled up and cannot place
them''
President Clowry also said there was
no trouble over the question of rail-
road wires and none was anticipated.
Attorney General Jackson arrived in
New York today, and this afternoon
will meet a committee of the Teleg-
raphers' Union, who will present their
contention that the two telegraph COM
panies have forfeited their charters in
this State by failing to maintain the
required efficiency Of service. Mr..
Jackson declined to express himself
concerning the matter.
The local officers of the union still
express confidence in the outcome, and
dispute the companys claim that busi-
ness is being handled satisfactorily.
They say they are receiving constant
additions to their ranks, and deny that
any union men have applied for rein
statement to either the Western Union
or the Postal.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The Postal and
Western Union Telegraph Companies
today reopened their offices on the
Board of Trade. The operators were
comparatively few in number. and the
amount of business transacted was less
than normal. Both companies declared,
however, that they would be able to
improve conditions later in the day.
and to increase still further their facil-
tiles tomorrow.
1t was declared last night that strikes
would be called today in all brokerage
houses, but up to noon no walkouts
were reported Many of the leading
houses have signed the union scale. The
attempts at arbitration by Commits
sioner NELL and other outside parties
have, up to the present time, borne
no fruit whatever.

OFFERS OF PEACE
BEING RENDERED
Chief Collins Would be Handy
Man For Friend
So Far He Remains Obdurate, But
His Followers Are Urged To
BE Good.
WHAT THE FAITHFUL WANT

Already there are indications that
offers of amity are moving from the
Harrison camp TO the city hall In
surgents. and particularly to Chief OF
Police Collins, The latter so far has
manifested no symptoms of relent-
ing, but it is intimated that friends
of his have been approached with a
suggestion that they sound him and
ascertain how best he may be APP
peased.
Some mighty unpleasant things
were said about Chief Collins by the
county ring during the campaign,
and Chief Collins has his friends. as
everybody knows So long as Chief
Collins remains obdurate and cold
toward the head of the city ticket,
his friends will take their cue to
knife it. That is where the politics of
the situation enters.
The ring has made an the capital
they could by abusing Chief Collins.
Now, an effort viii be made to win
him over to support the ticket, or at
least give the tip for his friends and
the police to work for it. He could
hardly be expected to take off his
coat and work for the ticket person
ally. after all that has been said IN
der the circumstances it is freely ru-
mored that the breach will be healed
and Chief Collins will retain his po-
sition at the head of the police force
under the Harrison administration, If
there ever is one.
On the other hand. 1t is freely de-
.clared by people high in the councils
OF the Harrison faction. as it is now
known. that the water will be made
politically so hot for Chief Collins
that he win jump out before the
election. In case he does throw up his
position. it is said City Clerk Henry
Bailey, one OF the most popular Dem
ocrats in the city, will be made chief
OF police.
Mr.. Bailey's name Is also associat-
ed with the position of marketmaster
next December, when Bells term ex-
pires. The next marketmaster will be
a Democrat in all probability The
term begins January / when Baileys
term as city clerk expires.
Stewart Dicks friends are coach
ing him for license inspector or
weighmaster.
