Up to this morning the telegraph wires out of Asheville were working much better than they have been at any time during the pFesent teleg rapherss' strike. Practically all the Wescern Union wires are working and the railroad wires are much better than they have been. Considerable trouble was experienced Sunday. All wires went down after dark. Yesterday the only railroad connection was with Morris'town until late in the afternoon. It is said that four men have been arrested in Knoxville for tampering with the wires, and the railroad people are making an effort to catch others implicated. The offer of $500 reward for the detection of any person tam pering with the wires has been pub lished broadcast an. the telegraph offi cials say 'they will prosecute to the full extent those against whom they secure evidence. Officials said yesterday that the only 'trouble they were now having' was on account of the wires -and as they got sufficient force out that would stop. -Superintendent Loyall says he has had to send men back, who wrere sent here to work, as he has more than he needs. When the strike began Superintend ent Loyall issued an order to disregard all semaphore signals. If a red board was turned to stop and 'then proceed cautiously. After 35 was laidi up at Morganton Saturday, he issued anoth er order to take orders at Asheville only. Trains are here'given a schedule for both gomg and returning, and or ders to stick to that, which they must do, and no trouble will occur as long as they do that. The Asheville yards were cleared of freight Sunday night and passenger trains were on time. The strikers express themselves as feeling no uneasiness about the situa tion. A persistent rumor was heard on the streets yesterday of a possible sympathetic strike of railroad em ployes, but it could not 'be traced to any authentic source. The Murphy line remains closed to telegraphic communication, not en tirely to the dissatisfaction of the Western Union company which makes no profit from its offices there. Yes terday some joker woke up the oper ators on this line with a message ad dressed to them dated Knoxville and which began: "O. R. T. Bulletin." Upton the sending of the uniqufikfwords there was a reply from several of the "dead" offices, and they were regaled with the following: "O. R. T. Bulletin We have won a great victory. 'Salaries of operators on Murphy division will be materially increased, In towns of more than 300 iiHiuiuiu S wi.yuc ctiiuwcu IWUL. cierKs ana two operators, wna salar ies of $125 a month," etc. Atlanta, April 16. Rev. L. O. Broughtoh, the noted Baptist minister, preached a -strong sermon Sunday night in favor of the striking South ern railroad, telegraphers. He arrived in this city in the afternoon from Washington, and says the Southern railroad is in had shape, regardless of reports to the contrary. He says his purse and influence is at the disposal of the telegraphers to help them in their fight. $500 REWARD. A reward of Five Hundred Dollars is herebv offered for the arrest and con viction of any person or persons who havp or hereafter shall, wilfully and rmalliciously injure or destroy any tele- I graph wire or wiers or any telegaph fTx I tures or instruments along the linej of the Southern Railway Company.

' n Mr. Foss, of Illinois, 8peaks for the Measure, Cummins, of New York. Makes Strong Talk in Behalf of It Senate Refers Amendment to Elect Senators by Direct Vot SENATOR BUTLER URGES IMME DIATE ' CONSIDERATION URG ENCY DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED DIfaCUSSION OF ALASKAN BILL (CODE. Washington, April 16. The (house took up the naval appropriation bill immediately after It eonvened today. A difficulty arose in connection ... with the attempt to secure an agreement for closing the general debate. Mr. Foss, acting as chairman of the naval com mittee, suggested seven hours for each side. A general debate on the bill en sued. After explaining the various items in the bill Mr. Foss said: "We are building a navy for peace. We are builcing it not to provoke war but to conserve international cone iu. We are building it in order that th nations may take warning that if American honor is assailed American valor will defend it. That the nation that is armed and ready to fight is the last that is Jikely to b called on to do so. The best peace conference is a strong and effective navy." Cummings, of New York, delivered a glowing tribute, on the navy, the vic tories of which have been decisive in the war of 1S12, the Mexican war, the war of the rebellion and the Spanish American war. The people in all sec tions of the country recognized it and what was being done. Three battle snips are now in the stocks without armor. Three are au thorized with a string attached. They were not even to be contracted for unless tne armor could be produced for $410 a ton. This bill asks for more. Was the string to be attached t that? It would be like venturing a declara tion of war and refusing to provide the ammunition. Kitchin, of North Carolina, made a vigorous speech against the bill. The house joint resolution proposing an amendment to tbe constitution so as to have senators elected by the peo ple's vote was laid before the senate today, and Butler, populist, of North Carolina, urged its immediate consid eration, but after some discussion it was referred to the committee on priv ileges and elections. The urgent deficiency bill was passed and the rest of the session was spent in a discussion of the Alaskan code bill. An amendment was also "read striking from the bill the limitation that no person over fifty be eligible to appoint ment as district judge. APPALACHIAN PARK DELECATIOHrH EARD Special to the Gazette.
