New YORK, Oct 20.-The tilt in which
the Associated fress and Western Union
telegraph company are at present engaged
may develop facts of decided interest, not
only TO the journalistic world, but to the
general public as well The affair had
its beginning in the Assoc ated Press
failing to pay its monthly rentals to the
telegraph company. That was last June,
and the bills have been rolling up ever
since. the matter eliminating in certain de-
crees last night by the Western Union cut
ting of the wires leased 10 the Associated
Press. This step was taken only after the
executive committee of the Associated Press
had held a meeting and the matter had been
fully considered. The wires leased by the
New York Associated Press were rs fol-
lows: Two day and night wires between
Washington and New York, a day and
night wire between Washington, Mem
ph!S and New Orleans: Il night
wire from Washington to Richmond
and Norfolk, and night wire
between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. In
addition TO these, the New York Associated
Western association, known rs the general
Western wire and running from New York
to Chicago by way of Cincinnati and Pitts
burg This, with the others, was also cut
of, and the association, during last
night and to-day was compelled to send and
wires of the company.
This morning the sun and Tribune with
drew from the old association and formed
a new one under the name of the National
press association, with Charles A. Dana
as president and William La an as vice
president, the two papers TO collect the
news for themselves, and also to sell it to
any customers who may care to buy.
In speaking of the causes which had
brought about this interesting condition OF
affairs, The Western Union people SAID that
the joint executive committee with whom
they had been dealing told them that their
power had been uSurped by other mem berS
of the association, and that they were there
fore unable TO make any further contracts
with the telegraph company.
The new National associated press has
secured contract with the Western Union
company and will begin business tonight
with that company. IL IS uncertain
whether the remaining members OF the old
Associated Press, the wires of which
We're cut out by the Western Union last
night, and that are now using the postal
wires. can renew the contract with the
Western Union company.
The Uuitei Press has Cancelled its con
tract with the old New York Associated
Press and has made similar contract with
the new National Press.
AT 3 o'clock this afternoon William Henry
Smith, general manager of the Associated
Press. issued the following bulletin: The
differences between the New York Assoc-
ated Press and the Western Union tele-
graph company have been adjusted and the
