Paris, March 16.— A general strike o f the telegraphers o f the postoffice de partment was declared tonight, follo w ing a m eeting o f the general associa tion o f post telegraph employes, at which 5,000 were present. A resolu tion to strike was voted without a sin g le dissenting voice and orders were issued fo r the withdrawal o f all oper ators employed in the department. The resolution says the strike is or dered as a protest against the arbitra ry administration, and that the decision was precipitated by an insult addressed by M. Simyan, under secrtA afyo f posis and telegraph, to the association offi cials. The governm ent put forth every e ffo rt to pres« rve international com munication, but the central telegraph station waB demoralized today and practically out o f communication. The Bourse station, however, was almost normal and there was not much inter ference w ith the telephone service. M. Palaud, secretary o f the E lectric ians’ union, who had openly threatened to call out the electricians, made no move to do so. Both telegraphic and telephonic com munication w ith London was greatly interrupted, not so much on account o f the strike, however, but because o f a fierce storm which prevailed during the night. Some o f the London corre spondents are sending their dispatches by way o f N ew York, to which both land lines o f the cable remain open. It took 33,000,000,000 cubic feet of gas to light New York during the last twelve months to say nothing o f elec tricity. kerosene, and candles.

Honolulu, March 16.— W ith engines running at full speed, and assisted by the winches and propellers o f the ves sel they sought to aid, the British cruiser Cambrian, the lighthouse tend er Kukui and the tugs Iroquois and In trepid strained for three hours this morning in the effo rt to drag the stranded transport Logan off the re ef on which she had driven 25 fe e t o f her bow w hile maneuvering to enter her slip last Saturday night. Several hawsers were snapped by the strain put upon them, but when the position o f the troopship was ascer tained by measurement it was found that she had been moved only six feet, and the attem pt to refloat her was abandoned until high tide comes again tonight. Many shipping men b elieve that it w ill be necessary to lighten the Logan o f her cargo before she can be freed from the reef. I f the effo rt in which the Cambrian and the three tugs join at high tide proves fruitless, it is probable that the work o f hoisting out cargo w ill be begun tomorrow morning. F A IR .
