Now York aad the HeraId-Thc Worlds Gem
tre and che Ceatre or tho Worlds News.
Yesterday morning the HERALD published
an interesting special Geographic report from
Yokohama, Japan, by way Of San Francisco,
and our readers who had witnessed on the
previous evening the wonderful performances
Of the Japanese imperial troupe Of jugglers, at
the Academy Of Music, read over their break
fast coffee the account of events, diplomatic,
far away home Of that remarkable race. The
news thus gathered by the enterprise of the
HERALD, through its special correspondents on
the other side Of the Pacific Ocean, embraced
the movements Of the foreign Ministers accre-
dited to the Court Of Japan from the United
States, France, England and Holland the con-
duct Of the Tycoon the position and destina-
ton Of the vessels Of the American squadron !;
reports Of rumored murders of Americans on
the Island Of Formosa, and of disastrous fire
at Yokohama, in which an American missionary
was sufferer, with other interesting domestic
and commercial intelligence.
We draw attention to this Japan report only
to illustrate our assertion that, a. New York IL
to be IN future the centre OF the commerce OF
the whole world, so the HERAID is destined,
before many years, TO be the centre of the
news Of the whole world Our famous Bismarck
special telegram from Berlin, when resent
over the Atlantic cable, first informed the
startled people Of Europe Of the imminent
danger of European war; Before long this
will be a common occurrence. Speculative
neWs associations have proved total failure.
The Associated Press of New York, although
before, is and always has been comparatively
worthless II seldom obtains an item Of news
ofreal importance, and has no means Of getting
at any Of the great political movements and
the grave and secret matters pertaining TO
foreign governments. Reuters News Agency
pany, ia Paris, are equally Ineffective
They are mere mechanical instruments for the
collection and transmission Of the public
movements and known events Of the day. But
the HERALD news is Of very different char
acter AT . vast expense, and through careful
6uu AoUVILOuo ool0CsiOH VI CUIIoSpOuucuS, VIC
have secured the means Of obtaining reliable,
momentous and original news from all foreign
courts and countries, which we can publish
without any tear of censorship and with entire
independence Of its political effect. Every
thing in our columns will be found at first
hand, whether 1t be Q meteoric shower, horse
race, . disclosure Of Bismarck's policy, .
kings speech, the settlement of British reform,
the result Of . peace conference, the fall

from Japan. Our papsr presents in. its
eolamps day after day special kilograms
from st. Petersburg, or London, or Paris,
or Constantinople, or Japan. or Brazil, or
the BritisA Honduras, and sometimes from al
at once. 1t 10 for these reasons that ell The
civilized people Of tho earth, bound together
as they will be by telegraphic cables and
wires running through every ocean and over
every continent before many years pass away,
will. lock daily to the. HERALD's columns for
