THIRTEENTH YEAR. THE BUCKING BROTHERHOOD. Complete Details of the Telegraphers Strike Thronghont the Conntry. The Company's Side ot the Struggle ‘Weli Ventilated—The Force of “Plugs” Quite Numerous. AT NEW YORK. Niw York, July 10— At precisely 12 o'clock, Washington time, several hun dred operators in the Western Union telegraph room, laid down their utensils and started for the hall Supt. Hum- stone, who was present, said the number to leave was about what had been ex- pected, from the reports made to the company. In the operating room were stationed several policemen, and these together with the officials who were prosent asked the strikers tomove out as rapidly sible and to leave the buildin, tors who remained at their keys little work at first and were interested spectators. Long lines of operators were soon filing down [btairs, their faces depicting various = emotions. The majority were hilarious, but there were not wanting those whose fea- tures bore traces of uncertainty and fears for the future. Many were thoughtful and evidently appreciated that the strike might mean long weeks of idleness with scanty salary. The general feeling was one of confidence, however, and a deter- mination to win was the watchword. As soon as the advance guard of strikers reached the basement hundreds of curious people who were there and in the street about the building sent up a shout, thus spreading the news. In a few minutes more bulletin boards pasted the facts,and the long contomplated strike had begun and was fully known at the mnews centers. There was no disturbance on the assoeiated pross wires, which tap Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia with their tributary territory, those wires being manned by associated Press telegraphers, who have made no demand, and have no grievances, The general sentiment of the operators and officials was that the news of the country would be taken care of, the operators having only the kindest feelings toward the press. THE GREAT STRIKE. Cuicaco, July 19.—At 12 o'clock, Washington time, the main body of the army of operators in the Western Union offi in this city went out on their The scene in the operator's room as a memorable one. There had been a feeling of neavous excitement for 24 hours, and it had been wrought up to a high pitch by the almost absolute certain- ty that woik would cease at 11 o'clock to-day. Promptly at the stroke of the clock, keys were closed, and half sent messages were left uncompleted. It is | estimated that more than 100 operator went out, and in the number 15 or 20 feniale operators. There was somecheer- ing as they filed out, but there was noth- ing boisterous, and there was some fa- st auliar liand shaking with the chief opera- tors who had remained loyal to the com-~ pany. OUTSIDE THE' BUILDING and in front of the chamber of commerce which stands opposite the Western Union building, a great crowd had gathered to witness the departure of the operators from the building and there was some cheering as_the head of the column of strikers made its appearance, but it soon melted away as the operators at once marched from the scene to the.headquar- ters of the union to deliberate. When the operating room-had been cleared it was found that forty operators were still at their desks, exclusive of twenty-one chief operators and officials. THE FULL EFFECT OF THE § cannot be stated at this meeting, as there is a natural confusion, anticipated by the officials, growing out of the largeexodus, but it is expected the oftice will be in fair working condition by nightfall, The Wheatstone system of the company is in full operation by which all New York business can be taken care of, = Colonel Clowry has received advices to the effect that Omaha, St. Louis and Cincinnati offices are in fair shape and will be able to work along with their reduced forces. Shortly the strikers had left the building “opera- tors from the outside began to make their appearance in the operating room and were given places, The officials now confidently assert thut with the force now at their command and with the certain prospect of new men public business can be handled without serious friction. AT CINCINNATI, Cixcrnnari, July 19, —The telegraph- r's strike in the main office, of the W. U, Co. occurred at eloven-thirty o'clock. At that hour the local chief of the Brother- hood gave the signal, three raps, on hi desk. The signal was obeyed by all members of the Brotherhood rising and going immediately out.

The same haj x,mnml at the main office of the Mutual { nion, On 'Change no messages were received or sent by either of the three companies having offices there. At the Western Union office a guard was im- mediately placed to prevent all outsiders entering the operating rooms, All opera- tors about the ofice were sent to duty up stairs, Notice had been previously given to all operators not members of the Brotherhood to come in case of a strike. A number of responses hav already, and a force of over w. . tors are now on duty. Superinveu Miller says this is the only office in his district seriously crippled; that but one man struck at t‘ulumLus. while at Day- ton, Springfield and other points they have a full working force. THE SIGNAL IN NEW YORK. New York, July 1 The Telegram says: The signal to strike was a whistle which was blown by Frank R. Phillips, of the cable department, at 12:10. The minute it was blown the operators roso in their seats and cheered. Dispatches had meanwlile been sent to offices in the principal cities to be ready for the signal. The final message was, ‘“‘We are going.” Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore soon replied, “All right; we are going with you,” Circuits were npum-n%. Out of 473 operators m the New York office men and men remained when the whistle was blown. The force was soon increased by arrivals of male and female opers who had been previously se cured by the company for the emergenc PRESS COMMENTS, The Evening Post says of the strike: ““Whatever the means at the company’s disposal may be to tide over this crisis without very serious injury to the intor- osts of the public, there is a_strong im- pression abroad that the strike ought to have been prevented and the position of that it might have been.” The Commercial says: “There is no safety, no protection, while the principle of trade unionism prevails. Tho duty of the company is therefore plain, ~No man or weman who is connected with one of these associations should be given work.” The Mail and Express, arguing for the company, says: *‘Operators will have a chance to sce how strictly and sternly public opinion will hold them responsible for being to blame for the stoppage of telegraphic facilities that are the life of business and journalism.” THE PLAN AT PITTSBURG, Prrvseura, July 19.—The telegraphers strike was inaugurated at 11:47 this morning. At that hour, at a given sig- nal,every member of the brotherhood quit work, and coming out of several ofti- ces formed a procession and marched to headquarters, where a meeting was held. A canvass of the offices a few minutes later found three men at work in the Western Union, three men in the Balti- more & Ohio, one in the American Rapid, and none in the Mutual Union.

There was no special mani- festation of feeling on the part of the operators as they filed out of the office. THE STRIKE AT WASHINGTON, WasHINGTON, July 19.—Tt is rumored here that the report that Genervl Grant dropped dead on the street in New Yorl was the signal agreed upon, to communi- cate to operatorsto strike, it being well understocd the public at large, as well as the operators, might be relicd npon to spread that story rapidly. An active of- ficer of the Brotherhood is authority for the statement that no strike is to be a prehended from operators on working wires leased by brokers, newspapers or private individuals, where such oper tors are employed and paid by lessees,un- less an attempt is made by the W. U, Co. to utilize these operators in handling matter not connected with the business of such private firms. At one p. m., ten men of the day force in the Washington oftice had stopped work, nine were in the oftice, but the manager was not sure all would remain. Nearly all members of the night fo.ce are congregated on the sidewalk at or near the oftice. Members of the Brotherhood connected with the Balti- more & Ohio company are all out.

Hollman, of Indiana, JoelMcDonald s o good chance. Joln Pafiner, of 11 linois would be a capital candidate. Wm English, of Indiana, has not the slightest chance. Randall would do well. Patti- son is out of the race. I don’t know that Cloveland is thinking of the presidency. On the republican side, Arthur might be able to carry the united delegation from New York. Cornell would like to, but he can't. Do not think Conkling will help Arthur. Conkllng's attitude is to be that abstention. Blaine is out of the ques- tion."” “On what issues will the fight be?” “To put the republicans out, and the ropublicans will fight to keep themselves . “But the tariff " “‘Nonsence. The tariff has just gone into operation, and no party will know enough of its effects or affairs to warrant its influences with it; it is a party meas- ure pro or con, As for Tilden, I know that under no circumstances would he ac- cept a nomination for president.” r. Reid said he had not found his presidential preference yet. All look with interest to the October elections in Ohio. The candidate who cannot make his party strong in that state has a large obstacle to overcome at the outset. I don’t think Hoadley will be elected; if he he does not, his boom will be ended. At present Randall seems to be in the van of the democratic candidates. As for Ar- thur, he stands better before the country rx’-dny than ever before during his official ife. Hastings said Arthur is making no ef- fort. He needs to make none. Events are shaping things for him. Cornell is & dead dog. He has a few friends but no patronage. Has had his day. They are out, Blaine is out, Sherman is out, Conk- ling is out and means to keep out. Arthur ms to have a walkover. Joe McDonald will be the strongest on the democratic side. Hendricks can’t control Indiana. As for Tilden, his declaration isa part of the game; the old Seymour dodge over again. Dana is fooled when ho says Tilden is out, and he is just the kind of a man to be fooled by old Tilden, He can be qlnyed on very easily 1 have known Tilden as man and boy these fifty years. Bless “c‘fi heart! I remember him when he Ped od grated turnips for horse rad- igh! What! yes, sir; exactly that. It is just fifty years ago when I was a lfi in an Albany stove, Tilden's father a kind of patent herb store in Lebanon, on Broadway, just below State street. Job Gould had a store and Erastus Corn- ing's place was directly opposite, and the lm{n used to point out Sam Tilden as the fellow who sold grated turnips for horse- radish, and he has been in the same busi- ness ever since. e ——— THE IOWA CAMPAIGN. The Joint Discussion of the Candi- dates for Goveruor. Des Motes, July 19.—Since arrange- ments have been made for a joint discus- sion between the republican and demo- cratic candidates for governor, General Weaver, the greenback candidate, has asked to be admitted to the debate. Chairman Dorman, of the republican state central committee, in answering the greenback chairman and declining the re- quest, says it is very plain to every one that the real contest is between the re- publican and democratic parties. The time necessarily occupied by the candi- dates of these two porties, in anything like a full ~ discussion of the many issues involved, will render these mectings inevitably long. The questions at issue between the re- publicanand democratic parties are broad, and in some cases squarely antagonistic. No such variances exist between the Imrtiu‘ you and I represent. The green- back question appears to have been prac- tically settled by the people themselves. Upon the saloon question, which so many regard as the viu‘i issue of the campaign, which they are ready and anxious to have fully discussed, your party has ar- raigned itself on therepublicanside of the issue. 1 thereforoe very respectfully and courteously decline your proposition. —— New Hampshire Senatorship.
