Left the United prcss-Thc Greatest
Nows Organization In tho World.
II CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Thc annual meet
ing OF tho Associated Press was held Mt
tho Auditorium recital hall in this city
to-day. Tho occasion was notable in
this, that it served TO call together for
tho frat time in the American news
paper history the representative OF
nearly every leading newspaper in tho
United States in national assembly. At
the preceding meeting Of tho Associated
Press in October, 1898, tho decision was
reached TO mako tho organization ma
tional in its scope, obliterating Soc
tional lines. Aa a consequence OF the
accession OF the leading newspapers OF
the east, which had formerly been
allied with tho New York Associated
Press or with tho United Press, and
which had several their relations with
those organizations 10 join the Asso-
! ciaied Press, tho session to-day became
= entirely national IN scope.
