"DIsUNITED PRESS"
Leading New York Papers Join
ing the Old Reliable,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The Wash
ington News prints the following edi-
torial:
The United Press is losing ground
constantly, however hard it may protest
to the contrary. The latest detection in
its ranks, or the latest of which we have
happened to hear of, is also very i'm
portant detection.
1t is the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser, the Oldest daily newspaper in
that city, which, together with its Junior
adjunct, the Morning Advertiser, has
now abandoned the United Press and
Joined the Associated Press. 1t has
taken this action for a good and
sufficient reason, namely: That it
was dissatisfied with the Unit
ed Press news service, aud pre-
ferred the very superior service
this it has conceded With the thoughts
and followed the example of dozens of
influential papers all over the country
which have made the same change re.
Gently. 1t has been the policy of the
United Press to maintain that the Sc
ceSsions from that organization were
unimpOrtant in character, and that in the
East especially the Associated Press
has no f0Othold and could get none.
With almost all the papers of SU.Paul,
Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City,
Denver. and dozen of lhe Western cit
les abandoning the United Press for the
Associated Press, and several OF the
leading Chicago papers following suit,
the Western press is coming over to the
Associated Press almost as a unit,
and with two New York papers
already joining that organization and
other very influential papers OF the
metropolis preparing to do so, it would
seem that the days of this particular
United Press "blutf" were about num-
bered. The United Press, at this rate,
will soon have 20 be rechriStened the

Democratic Conference.

" WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The latest
talk Oh the Democratic side of the SEN
ate is to the effect that the caucus here
tofore discussed will take the shape OF
a conference for the exchange of
views, but not for action that will be
binding upon those present. The call
has been signed by majority of
the Democratic senators, but by
none of the Republicans. For this rea-
son it is considered that a caucus, ii
called, would be of no consequence in
determining the line of action of the
party. Some of the leading Democrats
on both sides of the question were this
afternoon i'll conference on the subject.
and Mr.. German will doubtless be guild
ed by their advice in his action upon
the request.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The remain

to postpone consideration of the bank

Mr.. Geary then called up the New

The Unreliable Sun.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The New
York Sun Of this morning contained a
list purpcrting to give the position of
the members of the United States SEN
ate on the silver bill. In this Senator
BrIce Dem, Ohio is classified as among
the unreliable repealers." Mr. Brice
was in New York today, and when this
classification was brought to his notice
he telegraphed his private seer etary in
this city to correct the mistake. The
telegram said: MY position has never
been doubtful. l have always been for
unconditional repeal, and l have not
seen any compromise which l thought
strong. 1t could have been ascertained
easily. The classification is careless at
the least, and ought not to be repeated"
