A Case in Point.

The special telephone service enables
full reports to be made of events occur
ring at a late hour. An incident of this
occurred in the last session-the Tillman-
McLaurin fist fight on the floor of the
Senate.
The Stars man on the Senate side had
been writing, from the press gallery, re-
port of the debate and was expecting a
sensational denouement. The hands on
the clock were creeping around to the
time, however when the paper would have
to go to press. There was just possibility
of getting the outcome of the debate. The
reporter called up the office and had the
typewriter expert at his machine, at the
other end of the phone, waiting for trou-
BILE 1t was just about ten minutes before
closing time when Mr.. Tillman sprang
across the aisle and struck his colleague,
the colloquy that preceded the bow having
occupied but few minutes. The Star had

the fight in the regular edition.
1t frequently occurs during the session
that men at the Capitol, through the special
facilities which The Star possesses at the
Capitol and in the office, are enabled to

initiates obstacles and difficulties
The Star now keeps three men at the
Capitol during the sessions of Congress.
One looks after local affairs in the SEN
ate, the other follows local affairs in the
House. the third devotes his principal at
tention to politics, but assists wherever the
need is most pressing for the moment, and
all are interchangeable on the work

House, and one direct from the Senate

A Sample of Congressional Reporting.

The character of the reporting of the pro-
ceedings was entirely different from the
methods now in use. Turning to a file of
The Star at random, is to be found in the
issue of January 6. 1865, what seems to be a
fair sample of the work of that era The
report of the proceedings of the day, up to
the time of going to press, occupied about
one-th;rd CT a column. With the careful
attention to detail, however. and to make
in The Star a report of the news of the
full twenty-four hours. there is found on
another" page a fuller summary of the
proceedings of the previous day, after The

His efforts supplemented the report of the
press association. He not only sufficed to
cover" the Capitol, but he took some of
the executive departments on the way
back and earlier in the day had handed in
some paragraphs of city news.

Washington Correspondents.

There have been many changes in the
manner, scope and extent of handling the
news of Congress within the past fifty
years. Mr.. Frank A. Richardson. in very
interesting paper which he read before the
Columbia Historical Society last winter,
had this to say about the early press gal
leries:
Il came to Washington in 1865, just be-
fore the meeting of the first session of the
Thirtyninth Congress. The Congressional
Directory for the session contained the
names of just twenty-six Washington cor
respondents. of whom 1 was one. 1 have
found authentic list of Washington cor
respondents prior to the beginning of the
civil war. but take it for granted there
could not have been nearly so many before
that period. The war; with its tremendous
opportunities for news and comment at the
capital of the country, must have drawn
such a limited number was capable of deal
ing with the vast public questions centering
here.
For decade or more after 1865 the num-
Der of Washington correspondents did not
increase materially, and those who were
here continued to retain connection with
three, four or more different newspapers. as
the case might be. Telegraphic correspond
ence, now universal was the practice in
only limited degree until the civil war

This paragraph

Star had gone to press. This paragraph
from the latter:
In the House yesterday Mr.. Cresswell of
Maryland made speech against slavery
which he characterized as an unmitigated
evil, to be tolerated for a time only. He
spoke of the good effects of the adjustment
of slavery in Maryland, which, he claimed,
was forever secure to the Union. He also
advocated the proposed constitutional
amendment abolshng slavery throughout
the country. He said the issue was be-
tween dsunion for the sake of slavery and
the abolition of slavery for the sake of
the Union"
How it Would Have Been Done Today.
That proba bly,, judging from the principal
heads of the topic referred to, was an in
teresting speech. If a speech upon as i'm
portant a subject should be made in the
House at this time, by a prominent man.
The Star would have from a column and
half to two three columns of it. The
speaker would be reported verbatim, instead
of in the third person. There would be a
description of the interest manifested by
his audience, a report of possible dramatic
incidents in the course of the speech, inter-
ruptions and applause. If another notable
speech was being delivered in the Senate at
the same time, that would receive like
treatment If simultaneously, a hearing of
citizens before the House District commit
tee on grade crossings was proceeding,
there would be a two-column report of that.
with remarks of the various speakers
quoted at length. If the Senate District
committee was holding hearing on the
water filtration project, that would be
given in detail. Moreover, the action of
half a dozen other committees in the Capt.
to on general subjects. and maybe
column and half report of a local deci-
sion in the United States Supreme Court
would be chronicled in The Star. The
greater part of this work would be done
between the hours of - noon and 2:55 pm.
That is, the news would be gathered, writ
ten, dispatched to The Star office, edited
and put into type within that time.

died at The Star Office after $40 o'clock.
Hearings before the District committees,
which sometimes are held after = O'Clock,
also reported at length in the same
way two men relieving each other at the
phone and in the committee room.
