MUNSEY AND THE MESSAGE.
How the New Editor Kept Faith with
the Government.

New York Commercial.
1t is customary for the President to give
advance copies Of his message to the rep
sensitive news-gathering associations be-
fore it is delivered 10 Congress, in order
that they, in turn, may transmit il TO the
newspapers all over the country that take
their service. 1t is put in type usually a
day before it is to be released. Five min
utes after the release flashes over the
wires the enterprising evening newspapers
are on the street with the message in full.
All of which is by way of explanation for
those unsophisticated in newspaper meth
DDS hat the following story, which has
gained credence on Park Row about Mr..
Frank a. Munsey's experience with Presi-
dent RoOsevelt's message, may be intelli-
gible. Mr.. Munsey has made a great sue
cess of his magazines. and his friends hope
that he may duplicate it in his newspapers
and in his grocery stores. Mr.. Munsey's
New York purchase, the Daily News, has
grieved him deeply and because it sadly
bungled the Presidents message he an
nounced editorially the day following that
IL was on that special occasion the worst
paper published in New York" This is the
rumored story of how it happened:
Mr.. Munsey received the Presidents mes
CdSC III tie Jay DtlOIe II WAS 10 De re-
leased with the usual strict injunctions to
secrecy. He was deeply touched by this
distinguished mark of confidence in his
honor and, after carefully surveying the
office to max sure that no prying eyes
were searching for his secret, he put the
message in his inside pocket, buttoned his
coat, and slyly withdrew from the shop.
Mr.. Munsey frequently tapped his pocket
where the precious document was that
night. He MAJ have put it under his pill
low when he retired. Rumor does not go
into these details. He knew that some
time after noon there would come over
the wires from Washington permission to
share this document with as many people
as chose to buy his paper. He came to
the office TO await it. The release found
him sitting at his desk, calmly. with the
message still in his inside pocket. Mr..
Munsey lost no time in handing it over to
his composing room with the results that
might have been anticipated, and before
the copy had been cut up into takes the
other evening newspapers were on the
street with the message in full. If the
story Is true-and it comes from the News
Office-it reflects much credit on Mr.. Mum
sey's conscientious determination not to
betray the administrations confidence in
him. If Mr.. Munsey keeps faith as we'll
with his customers, none of the patrons of
his grocery stores can ever justly complain
of sanded' sugar or short weights.

Due to Speculation in Copper.

BOSTON, Dec. 21.-CreditOrs of the firm
of Wainwright Bros. & Co, the brokerage
firm which recently assigned. learned to-
day from the report of a committee that
the firm has unsecured liabilities of about
S144.GO0 and assets of between $4,000 and
$4,000. The report said that there was a
great amount of speculation in Anal
gamated Copper. The books show that
IA. $40 shares eff this company were bought
and that $1.24S.397 was paid for them.
These shares were sold for 81, 204, 925. Mr..

also lost $4,000 on his personal account.
The committee stated that there is at least

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The fall of cable COM
panles, which commenced with the an
nouneement of the success of Marconi's ex-
pertinent in having signals transmitted
across the ocean by his wireless system Of
biography, has been continuous through
out the week. Since Dec. IA Anglo-Ameri-
can preferreds have dropped seven points
and ordinary shares nave dropped four
points, while Eastern Telegraph was a
close second with a fall of five and a half
points. Quite apart from the speculative
bear movement there has beer a real sell

American Company to Marconi's expert
ments appears to have increased the ap-
prehension of the shareholders of cable
companies as to the probability of serious
competition i'm the near future.

TREATY AND CANAL.
FOrcefuI Comment on Mr.. BaiIey's
Futile Objections.

Atlanta Journal CDem.)
Every objection that was urged, or even
suggested, at the last session Of the Sen
ate against the Hay-Pauncefote treaty then
under consideration has been met fully by
the terms of the new treaty.
1t is passing strange how anybody could
oppose the new treaty from an American
standpoint. for it comedies everything that
our government asked or in reason could
have expected.
The only wonder is that Great Britain is
not only willing to throw away the advan-
tages she had under the CIayton-Bulwer
treaty, but surrenders every right relative
to the construction of an isthmian canal
that she has acquired since that agreement
was signed. And yet We find some senator's
endeavoring to foment opposition to the
treaty on Pretexts that are worse than
trivial.
These agitators display a spirit that
would make it impossible for us to agree
with Great Britain upon the abrOgatiOn of
the ClaytOn-BulWer treaty, and even upon
any friendly arrangement for the construc-
ton of a ship canal by either the Mica
raguan or Panama canal. The most active
of these obstructionists is Senator Bailey,
of Texas, who has a decided fondness for
carrying a chip on his shoulder. Mr.. Bailey
is a bright young man with gifts of ora
tory, but he is cOnspicuOusly deficient i'm
what a distinguished Georgian used to call
Judgment with an accent on the last
syllable. He sees in the present Hay-Paun-
cefOte treaty what few other American
statesmen have had the sense or patriotism
TO detect, a surrender to Great Britain.
1t is so impossible to argue such a prom
CsitiOn seriously that we cannot resist the
conviction that the handsome senator from
Texas is playing TO the galleries i'm a
manner that is unworthy even of a sem
atOr with decided jingOistic proclivities.
He said that the treaty takes Great
Britain into partnership with the United
States, but gives nothing that could be
called evidence of such a wicked deed.
The plain terms of the treaty provide that
all concessions, treaties or deals regard
ing the construction, ownership and con-
troll of a transisthmian canal to be made
with Nicaragua and Costa Rico or Colom-
bia shall be exclusively the business of
the United States; that the United States
shall have exclusive rights to survey and
select the route; to plan, construct and
own the canal; to fOrtify and operate IL:
to guarantee it against attack or disturb
ance.
Where Great Britain comes i'm we are
not able to see, but MI. Bailey does. or
thinks he does, and in consequence is in a
bad state of mind.
But the treaty will be ratified. the canal
will be constructed and the perfervid SEN
atOr from Texas may eventually cool off.
At any rate We hope so.
