Col, Tourtelotte, on the staff of the general of the army, received a letter from Gen. Sherman this morning written at one of the stopping places in the Yellowstone park. The general spoke of the beautiful scenery of the park, and said that the members of the party were enjoying the trip to the fullest extent. The accident to Chiet Justice Waite, he sald, océhrrea when they were going upahill A saddle slipped back and the horse Tegan acting badly and succeeded in throwing the chief justice. He was shocked considerably, but the members of the party, and the judge him: self, thought that the injuries sustained were not serious enough to prevent his continuing the trip. Judge Walte decided to return east, however, in order to allay the apprehension of the members of his family, who would robably be alarmed by exaggerated’ reports of the accident. The party expected to reach Missoula, Montana, on the 27th inst ywhere they would strike the Northern Pacific Miss Lincoln Catches a Shark. ‘From the New York Press, to-day.

There wasro change noticeable in the telecra- phe situation here this morning. The corre- spondents of southern papers filtng matter by the Western Union last night complained that they could not get theirspeclals through. WHAT MANAGER WHITNEY SAYS, “Our own troubie to-day,” said Manager Whit- ney this morning, “is that we have lost some wires in the south. ‘The southern service 1s almost com- pletely stopped.” “By the strikers?” asked a STAR reporter, “No,” said Mr. Whitney. “We have plenty of men at work. The wires have been blown down by the storm, but,” added Mr. Whitney, laughin; “I don’t like to say storm. Our men here are re freshed by the cool weather, and are working all right. We got off ::llour matter last night, I think, except a few specials for New Orleans, which were left over.” ‘TUB STAR reporter mentioned the report that the operators now at Wk would go out of the office to-day or to-morrow, In accordance with their agreement with the strikers, “I don’t think they have any such agreement.” said Mr. Whitney. “The men talk fairly an frankly ‘with me, and I do not think they leave their desks without giving notice. AML of course they do not conceal their sympathy with thetr brother operators. I sympathize with them too, and would like to see them at work again.” SEVEN MORE WASHINGTON OPERATORS TO GO OUT. A member of the brotherhood stated this after- noon that the brotherhood had no reason to ex- pect that anything would occur to-day, except the fact that the officers of the Western Union com- Pany were congregating In New York. “You can say that unless some concillatory action Is taken by the executive committee of the Western Unton company to-day, seven of the best operators now at work in the Western Unlon ofice in this city wiil go out. ‘They have signed a paper to that effect.” SIGNAL SERVICE OPERATORS NOT TO HELP THE EMBAR- RASSED COMPA Amember of the brotherhood called on Acting Chief Signal OMcer Mills to-day in reference to the rumor that the operators of the signal service had been ordered by Gen. Hazen to assist the Western Union telegraph and perform the work of the striking operators. Col. Mills dented the rumor entirely, »nd states that no such action had een taken by the chief signiloficer; that it was not the province of the enlisted operators in the signal corps to assist the W. U. T., and declared that they would not be ordered to do so. THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE OPERATORS atthe National hotel presented a lively appear- ance this morning. “The boys would Ike to hove the strike last another week,” sald one of the operators, “so that we can have more fun. We are ready to hold out six months.” ‘This morning Information came from the Balt!- More brotherhood that two “sc froin Baltiinore to this city, and describing them g0 that they could be easily Mentined by the Wash- ington strikers. The skirmishing committee at the depots were at once notified. In due course of thine the two young gentlemen reported as “scabs” stepped off a train at the Balthnore and Potomac depot, and the skirmish line at once went Into action. THE SKIRMISHERS AND THE “‘SCABS.” “Let usreason together,” sald the skirmishers to Une “scabs.” So they reasoned, and the reason- ing of the strikers prevailed. The captives were taken to headquarters in triumph, and the goat Was brought out for the purpose of initiating them into the exalted and mysterious order of tele- graphers. Then one of the visitors was recoznized and the joke leaked out. These Uvo supp seabs were two reputable members of the brother- hood sent over here forthe purpose of tstinz the Vigilance and capacity of the brothers 1n Weshing- ton. In such pleasantness the brothers puss away thelr idie hours, NO VIOLENCE. Master Workman Shelbly sald to a reporter this morning that the brotherhood deprecated any ylolence whatever. They depended entirely upon the honor of the men and the effect of reasonlog. . TALK OF BRIBERY. There was considerable discussion among mem- bers of the brotherhood to-day over statements coming from New York and Philadelphia that the Western Union company were offering bribes to men to seecde from the brotherhood. These state- ments were to the effect that offers of greatly ad- vanced salary were made, With guarantees th: the offer Was accepted th a his position for a term of ye. couple! with the condition that if they were not accepted the operator would never be given em- ployment in any oflice Mm the country. ‘The oper- ators here consider that the notice posted up in the Western Unton office offering extra pay is equivatent to a bribe. THE FAILURE TO FORWARD GOVERNMENT DIS- PATCHES. One of the brotherhood stated to-Jay that there Was no doubt that procecdings would b2 at once instituted by the Attorney General against the Western Union telegraph company, for fallure to forward government dispatches, and also. for breach of its contract, were It not for the fact that Attorney General Brewster 15 one of the leading counsel for that company. TIRED OUT, BUT WELL FED. “T felt pretty tired this morning,” remarked an operator Who stayed In, toa Srar reporter, “but when I had to repeat twenty out of twenty-five messages I had Just sent, because of the mistak of the man at the other end, I thought that tt wi too much of agood thing. Aman told me that the other night it took him three hours to pump. three hundred words into a man at Cincinnati. “iiow long do you work now?” asked the re- porter. “I work all day and then every other nizht. 1 could not stand it to work every night, and am Ured outas it is.” “How much do you get for extra work?” con- tinue: the reporter. “I get a dollar an hour,” was the reply. “Then we have a daisy luneh sérved in the office. You ought to see the spread,” ahd the operator smacked his lips as he fingered his key. INDIAN BUREAU DISPATCHES SENT BY MAIL. “received a dispatch to-day from Fort Peel Montana,” said an Indian bureau official, “which had been mailed on the 16th inst. The system adopted since the strike by the company seems to be to concentrate all their men in the large places and mail the dispatches from the small places. For instance, we get dispatches right throuzh from San Francisco without delay; but from any point along the line the dispatches come by mail. Iam waiting to see,” he continued, “if they will send ina bill for the Fort Peck dispatch. They won't get acentit they do.” THE MEETING OF THE BROTHERHOOD LAST NIGHT. An open meeting of the Brotherhood of Tele- graphers was held at the National hotel last even- ing. Representatives from Typographi:al Union, No. 101, and other trades unions were present and pronilsea substantial aid, The members of the rotherhood were addressed by John Tyler, jr., s0n Of ex-President Tyler, who eulogized the con: duct of the strikers. A’ committee of three was appointed to ascertain from Chief Signal Oficer azen whether he had ordered or contemplated ordering any United States signal service opera tors to take the place of striking poten raph opera- tors, After the adoption of the resolution an operator in the signal office came in and sald that he would submit to incarceration at Fort Whipple before entering the office of the Western Union at this juncture. He Delleved that that was the Such offers were sentiment of a majority of the signal service men. During the evening a telegram was received from Master Workman Jobn bell, of New York, saying: “All congregating here.’ Probably bé some important developments next forty-eight hours.” KEY NOTES ‘The friends of young DeWees, who left the Bankers and Merchants’ office, corner of 7th and F streets, Monday, to work for the Western Union, Geny the assertion that 4 committee of the broth- erhood waited upon him and that he gave solemn assurances that he would not go to work In the Place of cet the strikers. “DeWees, who is a lad of Mitten, is now at work in. the Western Union office. His father sald toa Star reporter to-day, that he had been emp! by the Bankers and Merchants’ company, who were standing by the atrikers, for $12 a mouth, and had to work thirteen hours a day, The Western Union had offered him much better pay. Telegrams received from Philadelphia at the headquarters this morning reported that tne Tanks of the strikers there were strengthening. Mr. Bob Downing and Miss Davis, of this city, have volunteered their service to assist at the benefit at Ford’s Opera House in Baltimore Friday night, the proceeds: of W are to to the Brotherhood of Telegraphers. They will rendcr the balcony scene from -'Romeo and Juliet.” A dispatch received here this morning stated that the Brotherhood of Telegraphers in Chicago had notified the various railroads, centering there peer they did not stop * sferring: ona te i members of the The Hil Investigation. TESTIMONY WANTED FROM QUINCY, MASS. Before the Hill investigating committee this morning Mr. Coleman read an affidavit reciting the frauds alleged to have been committed in con- nectioa with th? stone dressing contracts, and setting forth that testimoay essential to the Prosecution could be obtained from persons rest- ding at Quincy, Mass., where some of the work was don. Mr. Totten held that Mr. Coleman was not en- titled to the testimony he desire1, It was not re- Duttal, but only cumulative proof. Mr. ‘Coleman maintiined that the testimony Was important primarily, ana proper to be given. ‘The committee reserved its decision upon the question. IN REGARD TO THE CHICAGO WITNESSES, the chairman said that Mr. Walbridge was now on his way here, and the collector expected to secure the attendance of King and Woodman. Mr. Coleman asked that King and Woodman be authorized by telegraph to inspect the heating ap- paratus in the Chicago building. Mr. Totten said that Mr. Coleman did not appear to know what his witnesses would swear to. He objected to tis del .y; It threatened to stretch out the procezdings till the crack of doom. Mr, Coleman disclaimed any intention of delay- ing the proceedings. MR. HILL ON THE STAND AGAIN. Mr. Hill was then placed upon the stand, to tes- tity in answer tothe chargesof fraud in furnishing elevators. He said that a committee of experts appointed by the Secretary of the Tresury to se- lect elevators for the Chicago building had report- ed in favor of the Hale apparatus, The report was Tead In ev.dence. Mr. Hill Said that the subsequent awards of cun- tracts for elavators had been based upon that Fe- ort Pte Mr. Coleman the witness sald that he knew the report applied only to the elevators for the Chieago bullilag. The only advertisements after that report were for steam or freight eleva- tors, and not for hydraulic passenger elevators, Clreular letters may have been issued instead of adverlisements, but competition was had. Un- derstocd that Ouls & Co. and Hale & Co. were Separate firms, but used the same patents. Ous & Co. supplying the east and Hule & Co. the west. Regarded an elevator as a machine requiring such skill and science tn its construction that It did not fall within the statute prescribing advertse- ments for proposals. Mr. Coleman read Mr. Hill's endorsement upon a Proposal by OUs & Co. for supplying elevators, stating that he had compared the prices with the Prices given by other nrms. The witness sald that he had not Invited com- pies vy other firms, but nad their price lists in nis office.

Dauphin, in behalf of the Loutstana, Lottery company, entered sult yesterday through his attorneys, C. W. Moulton and Jeff Chandler, against Postmaster General Gesham, claiming damages in the sum of $100,090. The Dill begins with the decliration that the plaintiff is engaged in lawful business in New Orleans, and never has participated in any scheme for obtatning money through the mails, or otherwise, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses. He ‘recites that Nov. 18th, 1879, the then Postmaster General issued an order reciting that the compl.1nant was engived in conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails by means of fal: and fraudulent pretenses, and dirvcting the postn.ster at the city of New Orleans not to pay to complain- ant any postal money order drawn in ils favor, and further directing him to return. all registered letters directed to the complainant to the po=t- master at the office at which they were originally malled with the word “fraudulent” written or stamped on such letters. ‘the bill then recounts the uearing had before Postmaster General Key, and the issuing of an order Feb. 27, 1680, Suspending the execution of the previous order, until pending questions should have wen deter mined by the Supreme Court of the United States, Mr. Key stuting in this order of suspension that he was satisfied from the evidence submitted that the complainant was engaged in a fraudulent scheme. ‘The subsequent rullng of Postmaster General Howe, after the apneal to the Supreme Court was dismissed, virtually holding that the Postmaster Geperal had not the authority to make the orJer against the complainant unless satistac- tory evidence of fraud was produced, is quoted. On the 9th of July, 1883, it 1s alleged, Postinaster General Gresham, wituout hearing any evitence, made an order restoring Postmaster General K-5’3 order of November 13, 1879, to fuli force and effect, making it binding upon the postmasters at Now Orleans and New York. Th complalnant charges that the order was willfully, maliciously and op- pressively made, and that ietters of large value to the complainant are withheld from him and-r the terms of this order, and that he has been unable to procure the payment of money orders.

Special Dispatch to Tue Evexrxa Stan. LYNCHBURG,VA., July 25.—In respect of numbers the state convention which met here to-day ts a tremendous gathering. The cry of “anything to beat Mahone” has proved a most potential one, and fully five hundred delegates and alter- nates have responded tothe call to arms. The hotels have not accommodations for the vast crow’ and the private houses of prominent demo- crats have been forced to open their doors. There have been several queer developments already, some of which are of unusual political significance. The primary objects of assembling the conven- tion, as set forth in the call of the committee, were simply to effect a reorganization of the party, by Which was merely meaut a change In the personnel of tie committees, &c., and a re- union with the democratic readjuster or rather With those of democratic antecedents, who had been led away from the old party organization by Gen. Mahone. But about the time the convention Was ordered a violent contention sprang up in the | clty of Richmond between the governor and his Teadjuster supporters on the one hand and the democratle press and their partisans on the other, growing out of the appotatment of two colored then on the school boar! for that city, ‘The board consists of seven members, but the appointment Of these two negroes was ‘bitterly denounced by the Dispatch and State newspapers a8 an insult to the entire white population of the city. excitement, accompanted by a very bitter feeling, was the result.

Indeed, some 0: leaders here, in the hope it 1s supposed of detach ing him from Mahone, have proposed an exclusive colored manazement Of all the colored schools of the state. Tie plan, If adopied, would not only create a large number of colored teachers and trustees, but turn out of office many white per- sons. Surely, the political world moves, and often in a very surprising way. THE CONVENTION OPENED. The convention met at noon. All the big guns of the democratic party were in attendance. ~The Teadjusters present were few in number, thouch several of them are of considerable prominence. ‘The temporary chairmen, Corbin Reynolds, was two years ago state treasurer of the reaijusters, He resigned this postiton and aiterwards became friendio with the democracy. ‘There are no st of ary serious failing to pleces of the democra portion of the readjuster party.

Henry Ward Beecher in this elty the occasion to deliver a pleasantly- turned sermon, combating the views of the great Brooklyn divine: ‘To-day's peners publish a breczy and brotherly letter from Brother Beecher to Brother Kennard.
