offioo as moving along without any perceptible -

AT NEW YOIrK.
NEw YonK , July 20.-At 10 o'clock
this morning there wore singularly few
.evidences of a strike about the Western
Union building. There wts the usual

nothing more. None of the strikers appeared -

rect. The superintendent went on to
declare that the , company was already in
position to handle more business than
the public was handing in.
THEY WILL WIN.
r Manager McCullough , of the Baltimore
.C Ohio company , takes a more gloomy
view of the situation , and declarca that
] ifs company is practically at a standstill
in this city , St. Louis and Cincinnati. A
number of applications have been made
forsituations but the applicants , as a rule ,
1 have proved 'incompetent. Ho asserts it
as his view that the operators will win in
the pending controversy.
' A SPIRITED MEETLYG.
The striking operators held a meeting
this afternoon which was largely attended
and ihero was considerable enthusiasm.
Ninoty-four new members were initiated ,
including a number brought to the city
to take the place of those who quilted
the offices Thursday. Members of the
Brotherhood expressed bitterness at the
reports given by a portion of time press
as to the situation in other cities and
claimed that they were colored for the
benefit of the company. They further
contended that their advices from every
largo city shoved that companies were m
hard straits and were keeping up a show
( of activity , while in reality they were
badly crippled. None of the Chicago
lcatiomto
have
strikrs thus far made aPl )
return to time companies' emlloy.
At 5 o'clock this afternoon Chicago
,1 oficials of the Wcstern Union company

AFFAIRS AT CHICAGO ,
The Western Union officials to-night
report a larger , force 4n duty'hero ' than
usual. A considerable number of day
railroad operators came in during the
evening , and were put to work. Business
is pretty well clear , except to the offices
at which there is not a sufiicient receiving
force. Considerable trouble has been
experienced during the day on a number
of circuits through interruption by railroad -
road operators who sympathize with time
strikes , aid wino mmmifost their sympathy -
thy by taking time wire to call to the
operator at time Clmicago end , "Got out ,
you scab , " etc , , and by opemming time key
and breaking the circuit. One or two of

and discharged.

PRIVATE TI'1LEG1tA1'll WIRES.
Some of time rcoiiliaritlcn of Their
Groatb and Use.
Telegraphing is done at wholesale as
well as retail. Individuals , fins , anti
corporations who require largo amounts
of telegraphing , ntatagu to get' it done
either by private arrangements with the
tole nl coo ) maniea or by building their
own 1 nes. It conmomi
. is a very timing
for large corporations tobuild their own
lines bctweeim their offices turd their fac-
tories. Tley use tlmoir lines exclusively
for their own business. But by far time
greatest uuuber of what is known as private -
vato wires are really owned by
the telegraph companies an i are leased
by special coimtract.
Time lotgost private wire in use is fromm
Now York to Chicago. In the contracts
are stringeimt provisions that time wire
shall be used only for time private business -
ness of time contracting party , wider
pomalty of terninatin g time contract.
Certain ) eriods bf the day or night are
fixed during wlmich alone tie wire may
be used. Operators I are furnisho y 1 by time
tolcgriph company.
The amumal cost of leasing a private
wire is front $20 to $40 a mile. Time
variation in price arises from the fact
that in some cases the wires are quadru-
plexed , so that the slumo wire is used by
different private persems , each sending
messages at will without time knowledge
or intorferoee of time other ,
Time facilities of the large telegraph a
cola ) anies for ken in lines in good orer
have gradually concentrated timbusiness
in their hmmde so that b far time largest

Railroad company lease a numnber of private -
vate wires. In all cases time operators of
time private lines leased from the companies -
nies are umider time control of time latter ,
although paid by time lessee.
Most of time privnto pines , outside of
time press pines , are' hired by bankers amid
brokers , who require therm only a few
hours a day. At other hours Limo line become -
come a 1inblie wire , or is leased to otlmer
private persons. ome of time larger
in the west have time use of
private wires for a few lmoum's at of glmt ,
utmd thus avail themselves of time news of
the great Now York dailies Limo mo meni
it is Iublialmed. ,
It is iill1)ossible to give with accuracy
tlmo number of miles of private wires in
mite , but it is insignificant compared with
time mileage of wares operated by cutnpa
flies. An oficial in time Western Union
company said : "There are only about
17,000 rules of really private wire in time
United States. The Western Union
company operates 425,000 miles of wire ,
and other companies oporato'about 20- ,
000. ' ! 'horn are not over 000 miles of
private wire in time southern states. '
There arc three or four large eatab-
lislunenta in Now York whore all time

may be purchased , but the buemeas of
keeping a line in order requires so much
oxperimrce that it naturally drifts into
