TH YE:& THIRTEEN * THE TELEGRAPHERS. A trike Tnminent, Unless The Men- orial is Favorably Answered, The Same will Probably Occur at Noon To-day. The Telegraphers' Demands, New York, July 17—The Herald edi torially says of the threatened strike of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, that though their petition is spectful terms, it leaves the impr of asking too much. It requests that a day’s work be made 8 instead of 9 hours and a night's work 7 instead of 8 hours « reduction of one-ninth in one case and | one-cighth in the other. At the same | time it wants all wages increased 15 per | cent., irrespective of the age, the station or the position of the ope besides | couched in re- | jon | extra compensationfor work, | The real effect of these demands will | be best illustrated by the ex-| ample of the day ope say 875 per month, or, o nine hours tc ay and six days waek, about 36 cents per hour od rate the monthly wages will | ay work of eight hours | be $86. al increase more than 27 per cent. regard to th ‘Wheatstone operators an increase of per cent. is demanded for them. On the whole it may be doubted whether the operators have presented a strong case. That evils exist cannot be questioned, but they will not be remedied by the course taken. The executive committee of the Western Union Telegraph company will maet to-morrow, and the petition of the operators will then be brought for their consideration. One of the officers of the company said to-day it was impos- sible to say what action wonld be taken, The general opinion was that the demand was excessive and unreasonable. No ac- tion has yet been' taken by the Mutual Union, American, Rapid, or Baltimore & Ohio companies, The newspapers are giving considerable space to the threat- ened telegraph trouble both in the nature of interviews and editorial comments. The Commercial Advertizer says: The last development of the telegraph trouble is that speculators in Wall street are offering money to the operators to strike. This 18 the last phase of the war | on the telegraph companies, but the pub- lication of the names of the unscrupulous persons who are urging on the struggle that would produce incalculable loss to the country may not be so pleasant to | them as beating Western Union stock down would. These people tread om dangerous ground when they make this attempt. The Herald says: On the whole it may be doubted whether the operators have presented a strong case. That evils exist cannot be questioned; but they will not be remedied by the course taken. New York. July 17,—The members or the Bruthériood of 'telegruphers us- | sert to-night that unless the Western Union replies favorably before noon to- morrow to the memorial presented to General Manager Eckert yesterday, the executive committee will order a strike at 12 o'clock slmr&), New York time. Every member of the brotherhood in the country will stop work and quietly aban- -don his post. Telegraph officials do not seem to be worried about the matter. Strike Decided Upon. Cnicaco, July 17.—The telephone ~company ofticials to-day sent for the fore- ‘man of their gangs of repairers and linc- men and asked what men they wanted. The foreman in reply referred them to the executive committee of the Tele- graphers’ Brotherhood. The officials re- fused to recognize that committoe, and it is stated that at a subsequent meeting it was decided to strike at nine o’clock to-morrow morning. — Bold Robbery.

PRIEND, July 17.The condi- tion of crops of all kinds has been favor- ablo.

Nimiaska Crry, July 12.—The pros- t for corn at present bids fair to ex- coed the crop of last scason, The pros— pect for winter fruit is good. W. 8. GoLprx. T0WA, Conura, Ta., July 16.~The corn ero] in this vicinity has_ improved very much past ten days, and bids fair to per cent of a crop; wheat about cont; oats about 80 per cent; rye about 60 por cent; barley about 60 per cent. A. W. CuLvER. Euutorr, Ta., July The weather since my last report has been very favor- able for corn, Frequent showersand hot sun is bringing it out fast. Small grain looks well, but will be a light crop. j‘. C. Ecker. Reen’s Mius, Ta., July 16.—Our corn has come out good in the last week, some of it thin on the ground, and if nothing happens it will make half a crop. Wheat, onts and rye never looked better than it does now, but there is not enough sown this year. Potatoes are tolerably good this year, but not as good as last. Jas. Harris, P. M. TirtoN, Ia., July 14.—The weather is very sultry and it rains about every day. On'the 11th of July we had an awful hailstorm, coming from the northwest and going to the southeast, and it cut corn, onts, rye, grass and potatoes to the ground. It extended about two miles in width, Outside of the hailstorm the crops look as promising as 1 have ever seen them. The farmers are trying to [make hay, but on account of the wet | weather they cannot do wuch. Rye cut- ting has commenced, The farmers think that this harvest will be diflicult to save grain on account of the heavy rains. Stock is daing splendid. Bees are doing well this summer and are making a large amount of surplus honey, D.J Sroun. Siver Crry, lowa, July 17.—Corn has made rapid growth and now bids fair to make more than an average yield.

Rye was never known to be so heavy as this year. Farmers complain that the rye is too heavy to cut with a machine. Yours truly, A, M. Crospy, Untonsuren, Towa, July 16.—The prospect for wheat is good if it continues dry weather. Ryeis No. 1. Oats has a rank growth of straw and promises well if they do not fall with heavy wind and rain. - Corn is growing finely, has a good color, and is not far behind (in s last year, theugh generally quite weedy, NG (i, SRy (12 feelingsome better than they did three or four wecks ago.
