The Western Union Boasts and Brags as Usual, but the Boys Remain as Firm as a Rock, EVERYTHING CLEAR AT CHICAGO. Crroaco, July of the Western Union company in this city is cleared up to all leading points but Winnepeg, to which the wires are down. All main wires in the board of trade are manned to- He also re- ports that the day main operating room of the comy now getting full rest. The wires on the Northwestern road were cut again last night, but were speedily repaired. Offi- cials of the Baltimore & Ohio company have been negotiating with the strikers the past two days, but as the latter de- mand recognition of the Brotherhood as a preliminary to a settlement, no conclu- sion has been reached. EOKERT'S ASSERTIONS. Acting President Eckert, of New York, at 11 o'clock this forenonn, sent a tele- gram which reads as follows “‘The action of the Western Union Telegraph company, as defined in previ- ous communications, will not be changed by any adtion taken by other companics. The condition of our lines and service is most gratifying, and warrants the belief that within a day or two the general re- strictions upon ptance of messages may be discontinued.” THE OPERATORS held a secret meeting at Uhlich's hall, at 10 o'clock, with the object, it was whis- pered, of discussing some information that had come to hand from_Pittsburg, A member of the Brotherhood exhibited to his fellow stribers, previous to the meeting, an unoflicial letter he received this morning from a friend in St. James Mich., saying that $1,000 could be eui‘lf raised in the writer's division of the Mil- waukee & St. Paul railroad alone, should the Chicago men need assistance, and that more would be forthcoming from other divisions. Mr. McCulloch, manager of the B. & O., declined to give any information as to the probable action of the compan further than that the Brotherhood woul not be recognized as a body. If the men negotiated individually they would prob- ably be well received, butso far as he knew no signs of yielding to the men’s demands had been manifested by the director: THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK. New York, July 26.—By a majority of persons the surrender of the Ameri- can Rapid Telegraph company to the de- mands of the strikers is regarded as a certain indication that the strike is near- ing the end. Tt is rumored that the Bal- timore & Ohio company would be next to give in, and that negotiations are now pending looking towards consolidation with, thy, A merican Rapid comvany, thua forming u combination against the West- 1t was stated this morningat the oftice of the Baltimore' & Ohio com- pany that it was the intention of the com- pany to remain firm. At the office of the American Rapid company 166 op- erators were on duty to-day, including the 116 men that went out on the day of the strike; 900 out of town offices were opened and 400 operators in all had re- turned to the employ of the company. Thirty-eight branch offices in this city were also reopened and a large amount of business reported to have been han- dled. The Western Union still remain firm, however. ThEY GOT THE BOUNCE. WasniNeron, July 26.—The seven Western Union operators, not members Telegraphers’ Brotherhood, who last week signed an agreement to strike by a certain time if no on should be taken by the Western Union managers looking to a compromise of the question at issue be- tween the compuny and strikers, were discharged to-day by Superintendent Juellin, The superintendent d here last night with four men, one print- ing, and three moreoperators to take the places of the seven named. Although those discharged are first class men and constitute a majority of those who re- mained at their desks when the strike began.' TALL OUT. Norwich, Conn., July 26.—The entire force of telegraph operators except the ‘manager struck this morning. THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK. New Yorxk, July 26.—A large force of operators on duty yesterday returned to- day and the reports of managers of the operating Tooms showed business was being handled promptly. Press Agent Somerverville said llho action of the Rapid would have no effect on the policy of the Western Union, There seems to have been a little improvement on the exchanges this morning and little com- plaints were made anywhere, except at the cotton and produce exchanges. At the latter place nine operators were at work. The postal telegraph company has put in two Chicugo wires, which have been quadruplexed. Nooperators of the Westorn Union company are at the cot- ton exchange and messages have to be sent to th 1 office for transmission. At the stock exchange nine Western Union operators were at work and it was reported direct wires to Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore were entirely o v A DR A A the transinission of messages to those points, The Mutual Union and Balti- more & Ohio offices are closed, but the merchants aud ban were doing @ large business, apparently. THE BOUNCED OFERATORS, Wasuiyaroy, D, C., July 26.—The discharged operators say Superintendent Zenblin this morning appealed to each of tho seven men inuividually, and endeay- ored to induce them to withdraw their names from the agreement above referred to. He informed them he was instructed to discharge them unless they consented to withdraw. Each man replied that he would keep his pledge to his fellows. The hour at which the agreement was to be éarried into effect was 12 o'clock. A few minutes before noon, the seven men congregated in an outer room of the oper- ating room, where, after a few words more from the superintendent, they were informed that they were discharged. They all went to the headquarters of the Brotherhood, where they met with an 0 26.—Superintendent Clowry this morning reported all business ®Inight the Western Union ma enthusinstic reception, and a meoting was held, it is supposed, for the purpose of initiating the new men. In response to an_inquiry from the Associated Press office as to the condition in which the exodus has left the Washington office, Superintendent Zenblin made the follow- ing reply in writing: ‘With exactly the same number, ten who arrived from Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Chester lnst night, and with four more en route, we now have the office fully equipped.” CLEVELAND KICKING, CLeverasn, July 26.—The board of trade to-day adopted resolutions protest- ing against Fartlior dontinaanse o the present state of affairs n teleg causing stagnation to business. call on the Western Union to the defect.

The play is Boucicault’s ‘‘Long Strike,” with several strikers in the cast. The Knights of Labor subscribed $1,000 worth of tickets. It is reported this evening that over 83,000 are sold.

H., July 26.—The 35th joint ballot for United States senator to- ay was without result. A majarity of the republican members of the legislature held a conference this morning to con- sider the senatorial question. Several members took the ground that the strug- glo was an injury to the party, but Gen. Marston felt convinced the struggle would prove healthful to the party, and some good republican would soon be elected. Speaker Eaatman was satisfied a caucus could not be held, as it would require o two-third vote to nominate a candidate. Gen. Stevens, of Nashua, said the caucus was a thing of the past in New Hampshire, and he was willing to go before the people of the state on that i L it veaiibaties i sglias THE TEWKSBURRY BUSINESS.

A number of Conkling's political friends were preparing to re- ceive him and a reporter for the news- papers was in readiness to inflict inter- views upon him, but he gave them the slip by having the private carin which he was traveling switched off upon a side track before reaching the depot, and tak- en on by the outgoing train, He ex- ressed regret at disappointing his friends, {:ut asserted his rights as a private citi- zen. A The Fate ot Webb. N1acana Fauis, July 26.—There are some who believe Capt. Webb succeeded in his foolish undertaking and that he is concealing himself to fan the flame of ex- citement, when he will make his appear- ance and a fresh trip.

Morgan established headquarters on Green river and began a partisan war- faro. Early in 1862 he ‘wad 'promoted to the rank of colonel, his Sommand having increased to a regiment. The confederate forces fell back from Bowling Green to Murfreesboro, their retraat being covered by Mo ’s and Forrest's cavalry. On l\{nmh 5, 1862, Morgan madoe a_success- ful raid in the rear of the federal forces, and four days later he captured a train of cars at Gallatin and destroyed several miles of railway track.
