aged.
The expected strike among the Western
Union telegraph operators began vester- ,
day at 12 m.. Washington time, when the j
operators in all the lending cities ,
abandoned their keys, and quietly left the
offices. The signal trom the Executive
Committee of the Brotherhood in session
in New York was received shortly before
noon in Savannah, and at 12 o’clock the
eight operators employed In the Western |
Union office arose from their tables and j
walked quietly out of the building, |
leaving Manager Dillon and the clerks
alone with the work.
Mr. Dillon at once secured the services
of Mr. Henry Griffith. Superintendent
of the Telephone Exchange, who was
formerly manager of the Western Union
office, and the work was continued with ,
as little delav as i*ossible. j
“We are going to do the best we can.
said the manager to a Morning News ,
reporter last night. "And it is a question
of which can hol'd out the longer.”
“How do you look upon the movement?”
inquired the r<q*>rter.
“I consider it a verv unwise move on
the part of he operators,” was the reply;
“and it is ini|>ossible to tell where
it will end. The men em
ployed in this office were
paid from $6O to $9O per month,
and were receiving extra pay for work
done outside of regular hours. Some
were making at least $4O a month in this
wav. Of course the strike was not a lo
cal' conception. The operators in the
office were all members of the Brother
hood, and tie ing ordered to strike, there
was no alternative.”
“Do vou look for a eompromise?”
“I had hojied that some arrangement
would lie made, and that the matter would
lie quickly settled and without delay, hut
it seems otherwise. There is nothing that
I can see at present that indicates a set
tlement of the difficulty unless the com
pany accede to the demands of the
strikers.”
“Do vou think this probable?”
“Hardly so. If the company make the
concessions asked for il would virtually
place them in the power of the operators,
and this, under the circumstances, would
l>e an unwise move. It is impossible to
predict what the outcome will lie.”
Alluding to the difficulty encountered
in securing extra operators Mr. Dillon
stated that with the assistance at his
command fully one-half of the regular
work thus tar had been performed.
Considerable delay had been ex
perienced, but every ettort had
been made to make the service as prompt
as possible. The scarcity of competent
operators rendered it almost impossible to
get assistance from the city. The ojiera
tors in the railroad offices are nearly all
members of the Brotherhood and pledged
not to interfere with the movement, and,
altogether, the matter looks dubious. An
assistant is. however, expected from the
country this morning and the work will
Is- carried on until either a compromise is
effected or some new arrangement is de
termined upon.
The demand which the company re
fused to accede to. and which was the
cause of the strike, was formulated by
the Executive Committee of the Brother
hood of Telegraphers in session in New
York last week. This committee was
api>ointed at a convention of the craft
held in February last, and it was em
powered to present a lull of grievances to
the Western Union and other telegraphic
and railroad companies, and to accept
their terms if satisfactory, or to reject
them and order a general strike if that
course should seem best.
The Brotherhood of Telegraphers of the
United States and Canada was organized
two years ago at Pittsburg. The organi
zation lias branches in almost every city
and town in the United States anil
Canada. It numbers over two-thirds of
all the telegraphers in the country, and
includes in its ranks women operators,
line men. battery men and clerks.
The committee waited upon General
Manager Eckert of the Western Union
Monday noon and handed him a written
document, already published in the
telegraphic columns of the Nkws.
which comprised the demands which
they had decided to make for more
pav and less work. Their appeal closed
with the request that an early reply he
made to their demands.
The feeling among the operators is
that a compromise will be reached. The
men in Savannah are in constant commu
nication with the eonunittee of the
Brotherhood by telegraphic cipher, and
wili await orders that may be promulga
t“d.
In conversation last night one of the
operators said to a News reporter:
“We do not believe that the strike will
continue long, but a compromise will be
agreed upon.' Upon what basis we are
not advised. We can get all the money
we need from the Brotherhood, which is a
branch of the Knights of Labor with a
special deposit of SIOO,OOO for this pur
lose.”
“We believe that the refusal of the Ex
ecutive Board of the company to accede
to our demands is for the purpose of test
ing the strength of the Brotherhood. The
Western I'nion has contemplated the im
liortatioii of operators from Great Britain,
but the English Brotherhood holds them
pledged. The only way out of the matter
is either to arrange * a compromise or
accede to the demands of the committee.
It is not probable that a full concession
will Ik* made, and a compromise seems to
!>e the natural result.”
“What is the nature of the Brother
hood?"
“It’is simply a branch of the Knights
of Lalior order. We have a membership
of from 12,000 to 13.000 operators in the
country, with a local organization in
every city. We are under orders from the
Executive Committee in New York.”
At a late hour last night there were no
new developments. The strikers were
still out, although frequent cypher dis
patches were transmitted to them. The
office is still operated by Manager Dillon
and Superintendent Griffith, and the oper
ators will await orders from the commit
tee to-day. The Associated Press rejxjrt
was received with little delay.
It was ascertained from conversation
with a number of Savannah merchants
that the strike did not eause much em
barrassment during the day. Messrs.
Herman & Kayton, wholesale provision
dealers, said that the telegrams in which
they felt the most interest came before'
the’ strike was inaugurated, and hence
they were not aWare that the movement
had affected their business in any way,
unless some unexpected and important
dispatch had been sent them which
failed to come through. At the Board of
Trade the naval stores telegram from
Wilmington failed to make its appear
ance in the afternoon, and its non-arrival
caused some inconvenience, but as far as
could Ik* ascertained there was no loss
occasioned any one interested in the busi
ness. In answer to interrogatories, the
opinion was expressed that if the strike
continued a few days some embarrass
ment would follow. " Mr. Stillwell, repre
senting Messrs. I*. C. Bacon & Cos., the
well known manufacturers and dealers
in lumber, said that it was fortunate that
the strike did not take place during
a busy season.’ Now the business
in lumtier is quite dull, and no
serious inconvenience will tie experi
enced. He said that many orders
in lumber are closed by telegraph, and,
therefore, if the trade were active the
strike might lead to a great deal of trou
ble.
The dealers in grain said that they had
received all their important telegrams
and hail not felt the effects of the strike.
Messrs. M. Ferst A Cos., wholesale
grocers, said that the strike hail not
caused them inconvenience, but if con
tinued would lie a great annoyance not
only to themselves but to some of their
customers. “Suppose,” said one of the
firm, “that a number of customers
should order to-morrow a certain
quantity of any one line of goods to be
delivered on a certain day, and the orders
stiould exhaust our supply. If the Phila
delphia, New York or Baltimore steamer
were alout to sail from either of those
ports, we would not be sure that our tele
gram to anv large house in those cities
would lie delivered in time to have our
order tilled and the goods shipped by the
steamer, esjieoiallv when the telegraph
company notifies us that our order tele
gram “will be received subject only to
delay in transmission.”
The strike is also calculated to affect
buyers of exchange, because the absence
of the usual telegraphic facilities keeps
us in the dark. The would be buyers of
goods w ill feel it more than the sellers,
for the present at least.
A well-known broker in groceries said
that he had found no difficulty in having
his messages sent, but that he could not
get a reply either trom Cincinnati, Chi
cago, etc.
The sellers and buyers of cotton agreed
in stating that very little is being done in
cotton at this time, anil hence the strike
could not seriouslv affect them. If, said
they, the operators had made this move
in October, or during the busier season, the
effect would have been disastrous to a large
number of dealers in the staple. They also
expressed the opinion that the telegraph
company should have regarded the re
served rights of the public, who consider
the company in the light of a common car
rier, which under its charter is obligated to
receive and transmit messages within a
reasonable time. Whatever delays may oc
cur the telegraph company, not the public,
is resjionsible for. It could have acceded,
for the time being at least, to the demands
Weather
of the operators, and then, from time to
time, have supplied their places by other
men. and the business
countrv would not ha\e been imperilled.
The following is some of the .gossip in
Washington a day or two before the strike
occurred. It apjieared in a special to the
New York Evening Post: .
“Word has l>een received here that it is
the purpose of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to accede to the de
mands at once, hoping, in the event of
resistance on the part of the 4V estern
Union, to derive very considerable ad
vantage from new business, which will
come to it when it is known that its lines
are in working order. The M estern
Union managers have been examin
ing the situation to see how large a
reserve force can lie found to do needed
business. They find a very considerable
number of telegraph operators in the city,
not membere ot the Brotherhood and not
actively engaged in telegraphing, who, in
an emergency, can be relied on. Some of
the wires of the stock brokers are man
aged by operatois who do not belong to
the Brotherhood. A piece of gossip conies
iiere from New York that Jay Gould and |
those most interested in Western Union ;
have not been correctly informed
as to the membershship of the i
Brotherhood, and were surprised to hear
that 13,000 persons might join the strike, ,
instead of 2.000, as it was reported to |
them would be the case.
“The understanding here is that the tele
graph operators will tender their resigna
tions to-dav, to take effect to-morrow at
11 o'clock, and that every man belonging
to the Brotherhood will then leave his
key, unless the demands of the Brother
hood Committee should be complied with.
The formality of resigning instead of
striking is said to be due to the fact that
it is contrary to the rules of the Brother
hood to strike. This fact cannot be with
out its significance, as some of the opera
tors claim that they were misled in join
ing this Brotherhood, it having been rep
resented to them that it was entirely a j
benevolent organization, not having any
power to order strikes.
“The managers of the companies in
Washington have made a very thorough
canvass of every man, so far as it was
possible to do so'in view of the oath-bound
secrecy of the Brotherhood, and have
ascertained that there are from ten to
fifteen men in the Western Union Com
pany who can be relied upon.
“Operators of the Baltimore and Ohio
Company say that they have intimations
that the company will accede to their
demands to-day, and will make extensive
preparations for doing an enlarged busi
ness. They say that the poles of the
proposed new Line between Baltimore anil
New York are all set, and that nine new
wires can be strung as fast as a man can
walk, and that the company expects to
secure a large amount of business by
making an early and friendly arrange
ment with the operators.
“A dispatch received from Chicago says
that there is a probability that but ten
men out ot the three hundred operators
there can be relied upon to work in the
event of a strike. Committees of the
Brotherhood here spent yesterday in going
about the departments and banking
houses, where a good many telegraphers
and ex-telegraphers are employed, en
deavoring to induce them to agree not to
work any of the instruments in event
of a strike. These efforts in many eases
were successful. Most of the ex-operators
who hold government positions and who
are in private employment assured the
committee that under no circumstances
would they work against the Brotherhood.
The only exceptions were the operators of
some stock wires who draw double sala
ries, one from the company and the other
from the hankers, and who are not mem
l>ers of the Brotherhood. These operators
gave the committee assurance that they
would not work for any of the corpora
tions, hut would stick eiosely to their own
private wires, and would not send cor
poration messages. It is said to be the
purjiose of the linemen to cut the cables
if necessary which carry the wires North
and South."
THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Dixies Down the Oglethorpe* to
the Tune of Sixteen to Nine.
A fair crowd assembled at the Base Ball
Park yesterday afternoon to witness the
ninth game for the championship of the
state Association between the Dixies and
Oglethorpes. The game was called at 4
o’clock with the Dixies at the bat. The
Oglethorpes led oft' with four scores and
kept the lead up to the lucky seventh in
ning, when the Dixies struck out and
changed the entire business. In this in
ning Brown, of the Oglethorpes, was dis
abled, and Barrett, change pitcher, was
substituted in his place.
The game throughout was fairly played.
In the seventh inning Brigham made an
excellent catch from first base, and in the
ninth inning Dodd made a fine running
lly catch in the left field, turning a com
plete somersault and coining up with
the ball in his hand.
The last half of the ninth inning was
not played, the Oglethorpes refusing
to take the field, as they claimed under
the rules of the National Association,
hence all bets on the Dixies doubling the
score were declared off.
Up to the close of the sixth inning the
friends of the blues backed them heavily.
At the beginning of the seventh, however,
things took a different turn, ami the Dixies
wound-up with a big run. The following
is the score:

The National Game in Augusta.
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday, in
reviewing the history of the national sport
in that city, says: “Base ball lias become
more popular in Augusta this season than
it has ever been before. Several fine clubs
have been organized,and all are playing for
the championship of Augusta. So far, the
Browns are in the lead, and they are very
likely to stay there. None of the other
clubs, however, will hardly even claim
superiority over the Brown's, which has,
probablv, the best material of any
club iii the State. There is one
thing, however, in which the Browns
are very backward, and that is in practic
ing. Except in case of a match game all
the members are never at the grounds for
practice at a given time. This is not as
it should be. and the Browns can never
expect to achieve any great victory un
less they practice regularly. We will
venture to say it is not so with the Dixies,
of Savannah. It is said that at the given
times for practice with this club, which
are several days of the week, every mem
ber appears punctually, and the club
goes through with a practice which is
nearly as beneficial as a regular match
game'. If the Browns will only keep the
old adage of ‘Practice makes perfect’
before them, and follow its teachings, it
will, probably, in time, become not only
the champion club of Georgia, but, proba
bly, of a much larger area.”

One of the most popular medicines now
before the American public is Hop Bit

take it with good effect. It builds them

THE BAY FERTILIZER BILL.
What a Dealer Has to About It.
Editor Morning yews: We notice in
vmir issue of yesterday your corre
spondent “Chatham” gives the text of the
substitute for the “Ray fertilizer bill.”
This is a savage bill on the fertilizer trade,
and should it pass few dealers will dare
to sell their goods on credit. This bill
opens the door to and invites endless liti
gation. The farmers, in the main, may
be honest, but there are thousands who
buy fertilizers on credit that would take
shelter under such a law to get rid of pay
ing for their guano. The result will be
that the dealers will sell for cash in hand,
which may be best in the end, but will in
the meantime be very hard on many
farmers who cannot pay cash.
The inspection laws are of no use if this
bill becomes a law .and should be repealed.
We regard the inspection law as adminis
tered a' great fraud upon the public. It
does not protect either dealer or consum
er. The framers of it. no doubt, intended
it to protect both, but the law is defective.
No inspector can so execute it as to do
full justice to all. How do the inspectors
inspect guano? A cargo arrives in bulk,
and is put in store; the inspector is noti
fied, and takes a sample of, say, 500 tons;
collects $250, and delivers 5,000 tags to the
dealer to be attached one to each bag
when it is sold. He has to trust
to the dealers' integrity to put
into the bags the same article
that has been inspected. How
easy it would be for the dealer to put up
worthless material in bags and use these
tags! Then why make the farmer pay 50
cents i>er ton. thus adding to the price,
when he is not in the least protected by
said inspection. Suppose* the fertilizer is
in bags, the inspector takes samples, say
from every tenth bag. How easy it would
be for a dishonest dealer to empty the
bags and mix their contents
with worthless stuff and re
sack it and sell the mixture with the in
spector's badge of inspection. We say
that the law is defective and cannot be
executed. Repeal it and pass anew one
that w ill protect both at a very small
cost. We would suggest the passage of
a law such as exists in North Carolina,
requiring each dealer to pay a mod
erate license tax, say from S3OO
to SSOO. for each brand sold; require
the dealer to print on each bag a
guaranteed analysis of his goods, and
attach a tag, if you please, saying tax
paid. Then make it the duty of the Com
missioner of Agriculture to appoint say
two insjiectors for the Statej whose duty
it is to go over the State without notice
during the selling season and take
samples from stock found in the country
in the hands of dealers as well as con
sumers, and forward same to the chemist
for examination, and if they are found not
to be as represented, then condemn the
stock and make the seller liable for a
misdemeanor, and punish him according
' Such a law would protect both dealer
and consumer, for no dealer would dare
sell an article not fairly represented
when he was liable to be picked up at
any moment, and the cost to the public
would not be five cents a ton, as it would
not require an army of inspectors or the
printing of millions of tags that are now
absolutely worthless. We want a string
gent inspection law that will protect both
dealer and farmer at the least possible
cost to the consumer, for he undoubtedly
has it to pay. Sucn a law as we sug
gest, with ’a license tax of S3OO
for each brand sold, would enable the
State to pay two inspectors of unim
peachable character liberal salaries and
the State Chemist $5,000 a year. It would
reduce the number of brands sold in the
State so that the chemist could carefully
examine every brand sold. Under the
present law the chemist gets $3,000, and
there are over 350 different brands sold in
the State. No chemist can analyze
such a number of brands and do
full justice to the public. With
an army of assistants he might
possibly go through the work, but even
then there would he no certainty in the
results, for he has only about 120 days to
do the work in. With the law, we sug
gest the number of brands would be
greatly reduced, which would enable the
chemist to do his full duty to the subject,
which, under the present law, he |cannot
do, no matter how faithful he may be, for
no chemist can properly examine in one
season 350 samples and do his duty to the
planter. Several samples of the same
brand should be examined at different
limes during the season. The past sea
son 959 inspections were made and only
448 analyses reported.
There is line dealer that sells in Georgia
1!> brands, all about the same goods, or
said to be so. He would reduce his num
ber of brands to two or three under the
law we have suggested. We give these
scattering suggestions for what they are
worth. Dkalkk.
HORSFORD’S ACID PHPOSHATE,

attendant upon alcoholism.”
You Look Real Nice, Young Man!
Your garments cover you with the
graceful stamp of an excellent tailor, or
else you’ve been wise enough to cull from
Mitchell’s select stock a “fit” that was
never surpassed.
Mitchell, y-ou know, was formerly at
24 Whitaker street, but found his quarters
cramped, wanted room to stretch his arms
when he felt like yawning, so to speak, so
he is now installed in his handsome and
roomy premises, 159 Broughton street.
Plenty of good clothing on hand, and it
must be sold, and will he sold. Ask any
merchant tailor in Savannah as to the
character of Mitchell’s clothing. Themis
room for all. Clothes that wont’t fit
will be made to tit, at Mitchell's expense,
too. Solid and bona fide inducements
offered to mechanics, railroad men, steam
boat men, and the public generally.
Mitchell’s suits speak for themselves.
Don’t forget the number, 159 Broughton
street. Simon Mitchell.
Traveler’s Trunks.
At Louis Stern’s, southeast corner of
Broughton and Barnard, consisting of
ladies’ Saratoga trunks and fine satchels,
gents’ traveling trunks and satchels, who
is ottering them without regard to price.
Also gents’ hand-sewed boots and shoes of
strap and Oxford ties. Prince Alberts and
low buttons, ladies’ opera slippers, New
port ties and low button shoes, all are
being offered without reserve, and
parties will find it to their advantage
to examine these goods before going else
where. They must be sold regardless of
value, as Mr. Stern is compelled to vacate
the premises he now occupies very short
ly.— Adi\

National Prize Drill.
Editor Morning yews: Where are your
subscription soliciting committees?” sev
eral of our prominent business men have
said to me. “W e noticed in a late issue
of the News a list of the names of the
committees and their respective districts.
From that list we are well aware which
committee should wait on us, but up to
the present time none of them have ap
proached us on the subject. While the
matter was being agitated, of course we
expected to be called upon, and conse
quently consulted with our partners as
to the amount of stock we should sub
scribe. This matter having been arranged,
we have ever since held ourselves in
readiness to respond when the opportunity
was presented.” All of the committee are
active business men, and do not have
much leisure time; but it seems to me
that if each committee would thoroughly
organize, and then put in just one
hour each day, much could thus be
accomplished. If such a course
were adopted, I would be willing
to guarantee the $12,000 yet remaining to
be subscribed. Tlie committees have
every reason to lie encouraged, for in the
many enterprises originating in Savan
nah none have had more friends or a
warmer hold on the people than this na
tional prize drill. Then may your com
mittees be patriotic enough to devote
to this enterprise sufficient of their
time to enable them to raise the amount
still deficient at once. Three hundred of
it can be secured by calling on one who
has been Overlooked.
Public Road to Bruton Hill.
Editor Morning News: Whenever the
County Commissioners afford me an op
portunity to show them the State's title
to many public roads in and around Sa
vannah, I will show that the public have
road rights through the lands of Dr. J. J.
Waring, Col. John Screven and Dr. Law
ton (one of the County Commissioners),
and that our property need not be taxed
to pay for court expenses in cases of
Waring vs. Screven, or Lawton, or any
body else, since the State's title cannot be
set aside by any of these gentlemen.
For years past, as a public officer, I
have sought to secure public rights as the
best way to improve the public welfare;
but when some of the “authorities above
us” find that the public rights cover some
thing which they supposed was their own
absolutely and with the power of keeping
out all their neighbors, it takes a long
time to gbt a hearing, and a longer time
to obtain public rights. Respectfully
yours, L. A. Falligant,
Secretary of the Board of Public Itoad
Commissioners.
