minute statement of what has appeared in
the other journals of New YORK, of their
circulation and their condition. Besides,
everything in the American press that
would interest him is forwarded by mail
and carefully read. The gentlemen who
control the HeyML! in New York, who are
known as the 'Coa,neil'' nd who compose
those III charge of the foreign news and
editorial departments. understand by long
experience what Mr.. Bennett would or
would not do, and they govern. not accord
ing to their own predictions, but accorsi-
ing to his orders telegraphed In advance
or b. their belief AS to what he would dU
if Inc were in New York. If they are in
doubt they telegraph for instructions to Mr..
Bennett, if he has not already taken the
summary of news and sent instructions to
the Office. The appointment Of reporter
or the transfer of a gentleman from the
telegraph desk to the news desk all
comes from him directly.
Mr.. Bennett began his journalistic career
with great ideas as to the future of the
press. 1t is the fashion among the jour-
mails to talk about his prOfigate squander-
ing of his fathers inheritance, but those
who. should have perfect knowledge say
that there can be no more unjust criticism
upon Mr.. Bennett than his reputation Of
being AN Incorporate man. This is a matter
that should he spoken of frankly. MIR. Ben
nett has been called an Incorporate man
because he can't drink. In that respect he
is like Edwin Booth. General Grant and
Stonewall Jackson. One glass Of wine af-
fects him at once, and when taken he be-
comes matter Of club talk, although kc
doesn't drink in u year as much us the
men who criticise him do in week So
far from his being u drinking man. his
singular temperament is such tit liquor
produces in him q mania, and, having too
much sense to yield to the temptation. he
resists it.
MIR. Bennett is fond of the sea. He has
in his veins the blood of the Vikings. He
owns one Ut the finest yachts in the world,
the Namouna. which means, believe. a
Persian fairy. He generally takes cruise
in the fall, spending the winter months in
tropical warm climates sometimes crossing
the ocean to Newport, and sometimes sail.

and most extended trips was taken from
Nice, and MIR. John Russell Young, who

Mr.. Benefits seafacins life. "We start.

Benefits; an English officer, colonel OF

the White squadron from Nice to Pezzia.

other stay of few hours we crossed the
Mediterranean to Suez, and through the
canal from Suez the party went to Chirt
to see Stanley; remained there three OF
four days. Stanley looked older, but We
all had good time with him. Mr.. Ben
