IT REACHES MAINE.

The telegraphers' strike reached Au-
gusta at SIS last evening, when press
operators in many of the cities of New
England left their keys, including the
substitute operator at Augusta and the
regular operator at Waterville. The
rest of the papers on the line running
from Boston to st. John, n. b., We're
served by non-union operators, and
they remained by their keys. The SER
vice in Augusta was restored at 1
o'clock this morning.
With the opening of The Associated
Press wire at o'clock there were many
indications that the service would not
be continued throughout the night. In
addition to the pronounced rumors of
the previous dGy, and certain state
nents in the afternoon papers, the i'm
preston was strengthened. 1t was some
time before the first dispatch was sent
out from Boston, and this, as is usu-
ally the case, contained the bulletins
Of the baseball games.
Then came a break, during which the
operators held an animated conversa-
ton over the wire. Once, shortly after
i 6 o'clock, the two Maine union opera
| tors had about decided to quit, when
the matter was reopened and was left
with a union sending operator in Bo5-
| tor, who expressed a Willingness to re-
main on the wire until 10 o'clock. AT
that time, the other operators were
| told, a non-union man would commence
sending, and 1t was then that the union
operators We're to leave.
| The news from other ccnters, how
ever, proved to be disquieting, and af-
ter several more messages had been
taken, there was another break. during
which it was agreed to walk out earlier
| than the time at first decided upon.
The union operators on the Boston-St.
John wire all left their keys at exactly
Sc +. M.
The operators who went out at the
same time were those stationed at Low
ell, Lawrence, Concord. Fall River.
Providence. AS stated above the only
Maine cities affected at that time were
| Watcrville and Augusta.
As soon as it was ledrned in the Bos-
| ton Office of The Associated Press that
| the strike was to be carried into effect
on the New England press wires. the
machinery of this great news gathering
Organization was at once put in motion
to supply the news in slightly alb
brcviated form to the papers thus left
without the service.
The Portland office of The Associated
Press was communicated with, and just
before 10 o'clock the Journal began to
receive it's Associated Press news by
| telephone, the service continuing up ID
! the usual hour this morning.

ing twitted by both sides of the cham

Mr.. Gaines had read excerpts from the

of paw in the Fifty-third congress and
the part Mr. Mahon had played at that

$1,000 due him and that Speaker Crisp
had given him an order on the ser.
