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 .claimed to be well up on all business on ' hand , and that by to-morrow they ox- pro ; iaiun "subject to delay.

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 mileage of private wires so-called ie in time hummda of the Western Union Telegraph - graph conpamy , Time Baltimore & Ohio 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 nmatoriahs for putting up telegraph lines may be purchased , but the buemeas of keeping a line in order requires so much oxperimrce that it naturally drifts into time hands of time telegraph cenpauiea , who , having the men and materials on hany s make repairs more easily and econon icallY than privnto I in- dividuala , For this reason , private lines have beet by time tub. graph companies.
