The sun., 1892-08-26

TIRE SuN tried yesterday to excuse It's re-
fusal to pay over to the Tribune Fresh-Air
Fund tho $1,000 which 1t had promised under
conditions laid down by itself. Having been
convicted Of fnlsehood in It's original state
mont that two specified items OF cable news
in the World did not come by cable" and
were written in the World Office" 1t now in
vents story that OH Monday morning. Aug
g." the interview with Bismarck printed by tho
World on July IL was sent by tho World from
New York to London, with instructions to cable
1t verbatim back westward again to New York.
SO that in his desperate emergency tho scoun-
drcl Of tho World could take tho cabled sheets.
II necessary. on second visit to Mr.. Donald
Nicholson, the editor OF the Tribune. and mulct
THE Sun in $1,000"
1t adds that on the same day. Aug. g. tho in
tervicw was cabled back to tho World from
London lin apple pie order" and tho copy
was in the hands OF the World. ready for use
on Mr.. Donald Nicholson."
Apparently THE Sun did not stop to consider
how very easy 1t would be to disprove this silly
lie. There are four transatlantic cable COM
panies doing business between New York and
London. To the manager of each ofthese com.
