Herald, Times and Tribune, it is under
stood, had a conference to-day, and
agreed to interchange special dispatches
and send them over the country. They
also agreed to advance 500, 900 during
the next three months toward strength
euing and developing the facilities ofthe
Association. In this conference it was

Press of the country, but to prevent the
creation of a one-man tyranny over the
news like that exercised by Renter, in
Europe.

being made with all papers that remain
true to the Associated Press. Delega-
tons are here from the West protesting
against the election Of Halstead and

ship news and abandon the collection of
general intelligence.
