Croox.—In conversation With a STaR reporter this morning, Secretary Lincoln took occasion to indignantly deny the story that Gen. Crook was captured by the Indians in his recent expedition into Mexico, He said, “The story 1s absolutely untrue, and 1s almost too absurd to be entertained for a moment. At the conference at the War department Gen. Crook gave a detulled and interesting account of his expedition. I was present all the time, and heard no answer to any of the many questions asked which could possibly be interpreted in tne manner reported. Besides, the details of the story Telated by Gen. Crook Were entirely inconsistent with such a thing. I think itis unfatr to Gen. Crook to circulate such slanderous stories when he 1s s0 far away as to be unable to refute them.” Secretary Lincoln further sid that Gen. Crook told them that at no time had he amy fears of treachery from the Indian scouts with him. On the conirary, they frequently stood between him and danger, although one of the head scouts was himself on an Indian ral only last year, ‘THE WEEKLY Stan for this week is now ready for mailing; price, three cents per copy.

Stntcment of Their Griev- ances, ‘This morning there had been very little change in the situation caused by the telegraphers’ ‘strike. Business looked dull about the THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO TELEGRAPH OFFICE. AStax reporter made bis way to the itttle pas- sage up stairs, where there 18 a window looking down into the operators'.room. The manager, Maj. W. H. Clarke, was there working akey. In re- sponse to acall from the reporter, he came out. “We are only taking such business as we are able to handle,” he said to the reporter. “Of course, if any person comes in witha dispatch, and ts will- ing to take the risks of delay; we take the mes- sage. It would not matter if we had fifty opcra- ors we could not han‘le much business, as the offices In other cities are closed. So far we have gotten along very well.” : “Have you had any pews from headquarters?” asked the reporter. “Not a word,” said Maj. Clarke. “There isa rumor, though, that Mr. Garrett has gone to New York toconfer with the executive committes of the brotherhood.” - “are there any members of the brotherhood left in_ your office?” “None,” sald the manager. ‘There is no one at work except myself and the chief operators. Miss Callan, who sends the U. P. A. matter, remains by perintsston of the brotherhood, under assurance from the U. P. A. that She shall receive the stand- ard salaries. Bustness men seem to sympathiz> with the strikers, and their influence may help in bringing about a compromise. Some of the brokers here yesterday, when the onler came to strike, told their operators to go and strike and they would shut up shop.” A YOUTHFUL STRIKER. “An amusing incident occurred last evening,’ continued Major Clarke. “We have a number of boys whom I have encouraged to learn telegraph- ing. They are ranked a8 messengers, and not as operators. When, at 12 clock, one of the opera- tors In a branch office left I instructed him to turn over his office to his messenger, a boy who can send and receive very well. He worked along there until about 7 o'clock when I received this message from him: ‘W. H. Clarke, Manager—I ex- pect to follow velegraphing for 4 livelihood, and dectine tO take charge Of Unis office longer. “Good ight)” jajor Clarke said the strike did not affect the Tatlroad telegraph business. Tue operators on the Baltimore and Onio railroad line are classed a3 employes of the railroad and are not in the broth- erhood. Major Clarke remained on duty at his office after midnight last night. Major Clarke has only two assistants In the operators’ rooms. They are) Messrs. Herbert and Kelser, the chief opera- ‘ors. FOURTEEN OPERATORS AT WOWK IN THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE. Upin the top story of the Corcoran building, where the Western Union operating room 1s located, there was a clatter and dash of keys this morning, though perhaps a trained ear might have detected that there werg not so many keys joining in the din as usual. “We have handled all the business we have had s9 far,” sald Mr. Mo- Teen, who fs In charge of the operating room. to a Srap reporter. “I think we have gent as much mitter as usual. We have fourteen operators at work, and that is about two-thirds of our usual force. Last night we gotoff all the press dis- patches that were filed. Of course there may be some delay in our business, a8 some of the other offices are not manned, but we have gotten along very well.” “Are the operators that remain members of the brotherhood?” asked ths reporter. “No, I think not,” said Mr. Moreen. “They had their option whether to go or stay, and chose to stay. I think the committee of strikers saw nearly every one of them last might, but they all cam> back thts morning. Some of our best men stayed with us. Nearly all of the boys and younger oper- ators struck, and also some of the best operators we had.” “Has there been any indication yet as to what ‘will be the outcome?” asked the reporter. “Not that I am aware of,” sald Mr. Moreen. “The contest will be, I think, @ Very bitter one.” “THE ONLY ONES NOT OW STRIKE.” On the avenue in front of the Bankers’ and ‘Merchants’ telegraph office was posted this morn- ing a sign saying: “This company’s operators the only ones not on strike.” When a Star reporter stepped into the office the keys were Ucking away very merrily. Mr. F. P. Cox, the manager, said ‘they anticipated no trouble, a8 the operaturs re- arded the company with & very friendly feeling. n: Duan, the local manager at Baltimore, he said, informed his men yesterday that if any of them felt bound by their oath to the brotherhood to go, they were af liberty to go and he would in- sure them their positions when they came back. Gen. Dunn also sent word to the strikers in Bal more that they could cai upon him for his check for $100. “No demands have been made by the brother- hood upon this company at all,” said Mr. Cox. “The operators are fairly paid ani their hours are good. After recelving W 'rd from General Dunn ast might that he would contribute $100 tle striking operators in Baltimore passed a resolu- ton of thanks, and also informed him that if he eded any operators to help him out they would seni men to help him without extra pay.” ‘TLE CONDITION OF AFFAIHS TO-DAY A GREAT IMPROVE MENT OVER YESTERDAY. “We got off all our business last night,” sald Mr. Whitney, the manager of the Western Union office in this city, to a Star reporter to-day. “We have fourteen operators on duty, and can handle our business in about the usual ime, The number of offices reporting 1s continually increasing. The company 1s growing stronger every hour.” ‘Then the company will not give in?” said the reporter. “No, the company will not give in. It 1s able to transact the business of the community. Of course when this strike occurred without a warn- ing, that was the company’s weakest hour, but now It 1s getting stronger and the force is con- stantly increasing. The condition of affairs to- day is a great improvement over yesterday.” ‘THE MUTUAL UNION WORKING SATIBFAOTORILY WIth ‘THE MANAGER AND ONE OPERATOR. ‘Mr.Collum,localmanager of the Mutual,tolda Sran reporter that he was working bis office with one operator to assist him. “I have been surprised ‘that we have done so well,” he said) “Our busi- ness is principally press matter and we get, off everything last night and this morning. Things are in decidedly better condition to-day than yes- terday. Nearly all of the eircults have been opened. ‘There 1s some delay, though, at repeat- Ing stations. I think that in a few days these men will be at work again and I don’t believe the com- pany will compromise with them,” ‘The only branch of tne Mutual Union in the city is that at the Arlington and the operator there, a lady, was at work to-day. THE AMERICAN RAPID COMPANY. Seven of the operatots of the American Rapid company struck yesterday, and to-day all of the branch offices were closed. At the main office the Manager stated that the line was working all night and transacting businessae usual He had one gentleman and two ladies im the office to op- erate the automatic instrument, with which the business was eg transacted, THE OPERATORS’ STATEMENT OF THEIR GRIEVANCES. The striking telegraph operators con- tend that they and thelr cause have been misrepresented by the officers of the Western Union com The members of the brotherhood ‘claim ‘that thelr organiza- Uon ts the result of and unjust treat- ment meted out to them da past ten years, and that their demands gre not uoreagonabie, in view of the rystematic redisctions that have been forced upon them at different times by the West- ern Union Telegraph which fixes the standard of wages for tive officers, seeing pi became famous (or in'amous) duction of from 6 to ‘This instrument had the ity af sliding but one false announcement of Gen, Grant’ signal to the op:rators to stl strike was prepared Wednesday nizht at the same time the letter to Gen. Eckert was drawn up. It Was communicated to the brotherhood befoze 7 O'clock yesterday morntag by means of an ordi- nary cipher, ‘The statement says that the execu tive committee have been acting within instruc- Uons, which were formulated by a convention of delegates held some months ago in a western city. It wag a part of the instructiors of the executive committee that tn case the deman ts of the broth- erbond were not conceded within forty-eight hours after presentation of the bill of grievances a strike should follow. After the strike should begin, how- -ever, the entire management of 1t was vested In the executive committee.

U. branch offices were open to- day except th? offices at the Post OMice depart- ment and the Baltimore and Potomac depot. death was a The order to ‘The Hill Investigation. THE COMMITTEE ASKED TO GO TO CHICAGO TO TAKE TESTIMONY. Before the Hill investigating committee this morning Mr. Coleman read an aMdavit, which ree cited that A. B. King, Milo Walbridge and John Woodman, all of Chicago, were important and material witnesses to the fact that the heating apparatus of the Chicago post office, furnished by Bartlett, Robbins & Co. was of poor quality and improperly constructed. It was stated that these witnesses could not be brought to Washington, and the committee was requested to adjourn to Chicago for the purpose of taking their testimony. AN EXPERT IN HEATING APPARATUS. ¥. D. Bradbury, of this city, was called by the defense as an expert in heating apparatus. He testified that tt was not feasible to require each bidder for supplying such apparatus to turnish his own specifications. Tne plans for the Phila- deiphia post office were pronounced by the wit- ness to De very easy of comprehension. 4A FAVORITE SLATE FASTENER. Mr. Coleman then proposed to show that all of the contracts for slate roofs had been accom- panted by specifications, requiring the slates to be fastened by the Farquhar patent process: tnat that patent was not the best, as Mr. Hill well knew, and that lower bids ‘proposing to use bett-F fastenings had been rejected, ‘Thus. It happene}, sald Mr. Coleman, that Farquhar had a monopsly of the business of putting on slate Too!s; for no person could use his patent without paying a royalty to him. Mr. Totten pointed out that one of the contracts called for the Farquhar patent fastener or another equal thereto, Mr. Coleman replied that it amounted to a prac- teal designation of that fastener, Mr. Totten adml'ted that up toacertatn date the contracts did call for the Farquhar fastencr, because up to that time there was no other fas: tener known to the departinont Mr. Stelnmetz (luterrupting.)—“Indeed; look at the New York post oftice.” Mr. Totten, continuing, said that when other fasteners were known to the department, the sp = eificatians had been opened to them, with a Te- quirement that they be equal to the Karquhar patent. MR. MURCH’S THREAT. During alull in the proceedings Mr. Coleman humorously remarked to Mr. Totten that he had received aletter from Mr. Murch informing him that within half an hour after Mr. Murch m@t Mr. ‘Totten the latter would have to be advertised for. A MODEL OF A SLATE ROOF was exhibi.ed to the committee with the object of showing the superiority of another fastener over the Farquhar patent. Edward Wallace, a slater, testiNed that other patents were better than the Farquhar, in cases where repairs were necessary. To Mr. Alexander “the witness sald that he had first heard of tue Jones patent (on exhibition) about two years ago. Before that tlmethe Farquhar patent was the best in use, but copper wire was equal to anything for the purpose. Mr. Stinemetz testified that Ife had in: ted the Farquhar patent fastener upon the Bo-ton post office bull ing, by direction of Mr. Mullett, tn 3873. As aresulthe had refused to use the Far- uhar patent in a report made to Mr. Mullett, Mr. Coleman then read some contracts dated in 1880, requiring slates to be fastened with Far- quhar’s fasteners, and celled attention to the fact euay ae specifications gave the address of the patentee. Mr. Totten sald that the Farquhar fastener was the only one known tothe department prior to January 31st, 1681, and contracts made after that date allowed the use of other patents. ‘MR. COLEMAN IRRITATED. Adelay in the production of Mr. Ste!nmetz’ ree Port irritated Mr. Coleman, and he charged that all of the papers c.lled for by the prosecution had been subjected to the scrutiny of the defense. He declared that the Secretary of the Treasury had. shown a lack of earnestness in not suspenling Mr. Hill from office during the progress of the investi- gation. Mr. Hill testified that the Farquhar fastener had been used by Mr. Mullett upon the Boston post office with good results, Mr. Lowe, of the architect's office, testified that it was highly advantageous to submit to bidders specifications for heating apparatus, Adjourned until to-morrow. Se Interior Department Appointments. SECRETARY TELLER AND THE NEW CIVIL SERVICE RULES, ‘The Secretary of the Interior has prepared a cir- cular, which will be issued shortly, fixing the grade for which it will be necessary to pass an ex- amination to secure a place in the civil service. The civil service rules provide for the division of the clerical force into two classes or grades—the examined and the unexamined, Where the dividing line should be drawn is left discretionary with the heads of the depart- ments. Secretary Teller told a Star reporter to- day *hat he intended to include in the examined rades all the classes down to and inclusive of ne $900 class. Under this decision no int ments can be made in the Interior ent unless through the commission,except watchmen, laborers and messengers. The statement that the Interior department intended to- open the $900 grade to appointment withou examination ts not Correct, as this would make it impossible to pro- mote deserving clerks in @hat grade. In the classification at the Interior Gopercaent under the new order, the $1,000 and grades will be Grouped together and called class A. Drowned the Potomac.
