Nsw YoRK, June 25-The New Orleans
Picayune has abandoned the arrangements for
obtaining foreign and other news by telegraph,
so long maintained by it, and having on ap-
plication been admitted as one of the Associa-
ted Press of that city, will in future be on the
same footing with other New Orleans papers,
and participate in the arrangements of the
New York Associated Press.
On Saturday afternoon of last week the
highly important news furnished by the steamer
ADgio-Saxon was published throughout the
country by members of the Associated Press,
many hours before the steamer which brought IL
had reached Quebec-it having been telegraphed
to the agent of the Associated Press, exclu-
sively, from Farther Point, which is one hun
dred and fifty miles or more beyond that city
10 and from that point the Associated Press
have exclusive arrangements for the transmits
sion OF news by telegraph, and one would sup
pose that the news thus transmitted ought to
be exclusive; but on the occasion referred to
this was not the oase-there being good rea-
son for saying that certain other parties, who
had no right to it, got hold of the Anglo-Sax-
on's dispatch.
This fact, of course, created some surprise
among the parties who are most interested in
the matter, and led to a searching inquiry into
the mystery on the part of their agent. The re-
suit Of this inquiry is, that portion of the
news dispatch referred to was stolen off the
telegraph wires at some point east of Boston,
feat which can be easily accomplished by the
Morse wires if desired; any expert operator
on the magnetic instrument being able to read
by the clicks of that machine as easily as a
person can tell by the ear what tune an organ
is playing, and in order to hear these clicks
the operator aforesaid has only to ensconce
himself snugly in some room or ball adjacent
to the one in which one of these Morse instru-
ments is in operation, and the thing is done.
Now, among a certain clique of newsmong-
ers who have recently undertaken to supply
the newspapers with the latest news, there hap
pens to be one of those expert operators who
can thus read the Morse instrument by ear,
and as these newsmongers happen to be the
very parties who had portion of the Anglo
Saxon's news dispatched in advance of those
to whom it legitimately belonged, it would not
be very difficult matter to guess how they
came by this news.
In order to guard against any similar trick
of this kind, the agent of the Associated Press
| has intimated new measures which, when con-
| summated, will put an effectual stop to this
| mode of thieving. Other lodges however, will
undoubtedly be resorted to by the culprits for
the purpose of getting hold of the Associated
Press news, but they will be promptly circum-
vented at every point wherever their n,odus
operdndi can be detected.
In the meantime while there are two lines,
one between New York and Boston, and one
in Nova Scotia, actively cooperating with tho
newsmongers in question, the commercial pub
lie cannot be too we'll guarded.
The arrangements of the Associated Press
are that spectators and newsmongers will find
it difficult to obtain any important European
news in advance of our reports, and after a
| steamer is known to be in and her news on the
wires, the public should discard all reports
until the details are made public through the
regular channel.
