High Colorado Authorities Disagree Ovef
an Interesting Question.
After the meeting Of the Colorado
Academy of Science at which Presl-
dent Regis Chauvenet, of the Schooi
of Mines, delivered an address there
was an argument about snakes. IL
was continued in a desultory way at
the State Capitol by Curator VIII =.
Ferril. of the Historical Society. and
Captain Cecil Deane, of the War Reno
Department, the men who started 1t az
the meeting on the day previous.
Curator Ferril claims that he has
proved that & rattlesnake, when pur-

he ran across a rattlesnake wnlcn

4 GREAT NEWSPAPER BEAT.

How the Correspondents of New York
Paper ScOoped the English Dailies.
One of the best illustrations of per-
sistency in news gathering was that
afforded by David Graham Phillips
when he secured an exclusive account
of the sinking of II. NJ. S. Victoria by
her fellow Eattleship. the Camp erdown,
in the Mediterranean, says Allen San.
gree in Every body's Magazine PhillipA
was London correspondent when dis
patch arrived telling of the most de-
plorahle tragedy that ever happened to
an English man -oi-wHr in times of
peace, and he expected that he London
papers would have q full account, from
which he could get story for his own
parer. All they printed, however, vas
the care announcement of the disaster,
and Phillips then endeavored to find a
correspondent somewhere near where
the British squadron had been
manmuvring who would furnish him
with the details.
ITS useless to try,'' the English
editors informed him. "1bere's no
correspondent in the vicinity. and even
IL there were, he could mot help US, be.
cause the nearest cable station is sc
miles away. Better wait till the For
eign Office gives it to u.s. But
Phillips was not willing to wait. He
reused the cable managers to activity,
and gained their permission to wire q
cable operator on the Barbary coast,
| whose station was nearest the scene oil
disaster, and ask him for news. But
the operator replied that he had none.
Two days had now passed, and Londor
papers were still without any supple
ment to the original brief message
New York was querying madly, SC
Phillips again wired the operator, anc
offered him el00 to visit the squadron
and send story. But the reply can't
back: "Send money first; have none tt
hire boat The cable management
now fairly ieered at the American, AND
assured him he was making o fool o
himself. 1.-The operator is a foreigner, I
they said Probably he cannot read OF
write English, and you won't be able t,
make out the message il he ever doe
send one. -
On the third day, there being still
no news, Phillips found a bank tina
would send cable draft to this out. of
the-way spot, and Oh the fourth do,
there arrived column storr, giving al
account Of the Victoria's disaster, tina
was remarkable for Its accuracy an,
graphic description, even though badl,
spelled. When published in the CORE
spondent's New York paper the sam
day, and cabled back to London, th
narrative was condemned as flake. ;
Not until shown the original dispatcl
