replied to Mr. Goodsell, pointing out that his
Argument, so far as the Associated Press was
concerned, is that the latter has an excellent
and perfected organization, which is valuable
as aflanchise-that its competitors admit their
inability to create or accumulate a similar
property, and that therefore Congress ought TO
intervene to reduce the Associated Press to the
level or its rival. He also called attention to
the fact that Mr.. GOOdselrs statement showed
the matter In controversy TO be a business fight
between rival private business organizations,
with which Congress has nothing whatever 10
DO, and that said statement amply continued
the Associated Press declaration that all
the determinations made by the Western
Union Telegraph Company are allowed
to the competitors OF the Associated Press,
and that there. are no determinations
newspapers were not missionary enterprises.
but were published for profit; and that news
paper publishers could not be expected to give
to their competitors the use OF their own facili-
ties for doing business with success. He denied
that the Associated Press monopoly" was
aestricton upon the di5Iusioa Of knowledge
their own newspaperS-anda all the people could
thus obtain the news. All that they declined
to do was to give these reports for publication
in other newspapers not in their connection
ana there was no power in Congress 20 say
that producer of news reports or of any
thing else shall not sell his products and de-
instead OF indirectly through other dealers
Reply ing TO the statement that the Associated
Press had cut the Washington Post off from its
reports In an improper manner, and that II had
demanded the dismissal OF Mr.. Buell. from that
oi1iCe, Mr. SimontOn said that the Post had
been cut of because, after months Of eX-
postuiation. it persisted in violating a gen.
eral regulation OF the Associated Press
against the service Of their reports to parties
who encourage their competitors by receiving
and using such competitors news. The rule
permits the use OF all speeches. but not the re-
ports OF a rural asS0ciatiOn-tlIe theory of the
Associated Press being that the members Of a
cooperative organization should work together
for the common interest and against the COM
mon competitor. lie denied that lie hal ever
demanded MI BuellS dismissal. and challenged
product ion oI any letter OF his making any such
demand. There was another reason which the
proprietor of the Post had in fact himself given
totally different reason for the severance Of
Mr.. BueiiS connection.

AMERICAN CLOCKS FOR CHINA.-Mr Hender-
son, consul at Annoy, in a dispatch to the De-
partment OF State, expresses the opinion that
good market for clocks and watches may be
found in China. Wealthy Chinese will pay hil b
prices for ornamental clocks, but the cieaper
the article the better its chances of success:
provided the clock always has a striking ap-
paratus. Chinese cheap labor can hardly
compete with the superior TASTE Skill and ma
chinery OF the Americans. To successfully in
troduce clocks and watches into China how
ever, needs stores and agents in the principal
ports. The chief competition will come from
at very low price. The protection OF patents
availS nothing in China. With the usual energy
and tact OF American manufacturers, the corSul
believes large trade in clocks and watches
may be built up in China. Clocks of native
manufacture are OF the rudest, toughest k'nd
and very badtlme keepers.
