NAVAL MEN IN DOUBT.
They Are Not Sure That the Teresa
Is MT Cat Island.


Norfolk, Va. Nov 10.-Naval men dis
agree as to the probability of the vessel
reported ashore off Cat Island being the
Teresa. The Vulcan's officers were dis
posed to doubt it. The Teresa, they say,
has according to the description cabled
from Nassau, lost her deckhouse. received
a coat of black paint and an extra mast
since they left her plunging and rolling
in the terrible gale in which she was
abandoned.
Capt. Lecato, of the Merritt Wrecking
Company, who was one of the last to
leave the Teresa, says that the only
chances that the stranded vessel may be
the Spaniard is that the cabled descrip-
ton is inaccurate. Naval officers and Of
ficials of the wrecking concern say that
the declshouse could easily have been
washed away. but how the Teresa sprout-
ed mast and got paint is past finding
out.
The Merritt wrecking organization will
not dispatch their steamer Merritt, now
in this harbor. until they are advised by
Lieut. Hobson from Nassau that the Cat
Island derelict is really the Teresa.

A MoR1BuND NEWS TRUST.
Being the story of How the Associ'

nted Press Paid an Old Score.
New York. Nov. 1O.-The Sun tomorrow
will say:
length and breadth of the land as the
Associated Press. demonstrated on Tues
day with even more than usual fullness
its incapacity as a news-gathering organi-
zation. All that is needed TO show the
truth of that statement Is a comparison
of Wednesdays edition of the Herald,
the Tribune, the Evening Post, or any OF
this city with the edition of the Sun,
which collects the news of the world
itself and is dependent on no trust or
organization to aid it.
'.The Associated Press has had it in
for President Mckinley and his Admins
tration ever since the President called 1t
to account for the rank lies 1t concocted
and spread broadcast to damage the coun-
try during the war with Spain. In Tues
days election ii saw an opportunity to
get square. 1t wanted to see the Presi-
dent and the Administration repudiated
by the election of a hostile Congress. and
when 1t failed as news association in
gathering the returns of the Congress
sional election throughout the country.
deliberately and maIiciously spread the
story that Congress was Democratic, that
the Democrats had actually elected more
of their candidates than the Republicans
and that the success of the Populists in
their districts gave majority of more
| than twenty in the next House. This
wish, of course. was father to the lie.
! The Associated Press sent this story
| to every paper in the country that de
| pends on it for the news. The principa
newspapers in this city that depend on tn,
trust for the news they print are tht
| Herald the Tribune. the World. this
Times and the Journal. In all of thes'
papers the Associated Press lie about tn,
| composition of the next Congress wa:
printed with more or less definiteness.
THE all important question in Tues
days election was the composition O
the next Congress. The Sun, as It doe:
in every election. provided for the col
! lection of the news in every Congressiona
district in the country so that as usual
| the moment the result was known. th'
| news was in the Sun office, and when III,
first edition of the Sun went to Press OF
| Wednesday morning II contained tn
news that the Republican party would
have a majority in the next House owe
the Democrats. the free silverites and tn
Populists combined. The more complete
returns of Wednesday showed the alb
solute accuracy of the Sun figures.
The Associated Press was so please,
with its success in having its lie swallow
ed by all dependencies that 1t stuck Il
that lie all day on Wednesday, and tn
Evening Post, which also depends who'll!
on the trust for its news, continued II
its last edition on Wednesday to reiter
ate the lie that there was an antf-Admin
istration majority of nineteen in tn
House.
Not only did the Sun get the figure
accurately on Tuesday night, but it go
them early; so early that the newspaper
that depended on the Sun for their elec
tion returns made monkeys of their com
petitors.'

The assassin of the Austrian Empress de-

Whatever else may be said about Tues
days election in New York, II occurs to
us that the people of this community have
little to find fault with. For the first time
in the history of the country voteless
citizen OF the District has been picked up
by a great State and elected its governor.
In the happy future we shall all take a
personal and neighborly interest in Col.
Roosevelt's operations to destroy his
friend Platt and to secure the next Re-
publican Presidential nomination.

Confusing.

One trouble about scanning the election returns
too closely for the moral involved is the risk
of getting mixed in ones conclusions Thus, in
Pennsylvania the Administration has been sus.
tanned, but so have the Congressmen who op.
posed the Administration at the opening of the
war. In Illinois the expansion policy has been
approved. and likewise the Tanner policy CT
shutting out laborers of adjoining States as
aliens; and in New York Algerism has received
a verdict of condonation, while the author Of
the round robin has been given the chief
preferment in the State. Truly politics works
wonders!

Postmaster General Smith, acting upon
the advice of Gen. Brooke, commanding
the American forces in Porto Rico, has
decided to allow newspaper publishers in
that island the same privileges as re-
CARDS mailing and postage upon their

Porto Rican publishers will, therefore,
send their papers through the mails in
