resourceful correspondent, then representing it in
London urged by cable to beat its rival by
hook crook. This easier commanded than
performed. The avenues of access to the precious
volume securely closed to him as they were
to Harrington But fragments of the revised text
collected and cabled to his paper, which
deavored to incorporate them in the King James
version, printing the whole on the same morning

When Admiral Dewey Won

SOME excellent work done by American cor
~ respondents during the Spansh-American War.
Minor scoops of almost daily occurrence after
hostilites began, while the two big events-Dewey's
wonderful victory at Manila and the crushing de-
feat of Cerveras fleet by Admiral Schley-gave
occasion for beats of prime interest and Importance.
The decisive battle in Manila Bay was fought on
May I, 1898 For weeks prior to this date specula
ton ran high to the probable result of Dewey's
expedition. The bay was strewn with mines the
Spanish forts were supposed to be well manned and
formidable, and many Europeans believed that the
Spanish ships nvincibe. Our first of
the fight came from Spanish sources On May
it admitted that Dewey had won; but direct
cable communication was cut, and the whole nation
in breathless suspense for several days. FL
nally on May the was given to the country

The history of this famous despatch is very

boat Mccullough, which arrived in the bay just
the fight was ending. The Mccullough was sent
back at with official dispatches Joseph
Stickney, The New York Herald correspondent,
was also passenger on the Mccullough. Stickney
had witnessed the fight from the bridge of the flag
ship with Admiral Dewey. and was eager to rush
the great news to his paper. When Hongkong
reached there was to the cable Office. But
to the stolid clerk, Indifferent to the fierce compe
tition among American journalists, it mattered
little which despatch was filed irst-Stickney's

official to transmit Immediately any long message
De Blowitz might desire to forward to London.
All that he now lacked for the accomplishment of
his projected coup the preamble of the treaty
This he learned in the hands of the Comte
de St. Valler He astounded that man by producing
a copy of the treaty, and ST. Vaer while refusing to
hand the preamble to De Blowitz, read it slowly
that he might exercise his wonderful memory.
On July ~, still expressing his outraged feelings
De Blowitz took the train for Brussels, with his
secretary and assistant. The treaty to be
signed on Saturday the thirteenth AS THE
Times does not publish Sunday edition. all his
work would be abortve unless the scoop appeared
that date. On the train De Blowitz dictated the
preamble to his secretary Then every precaution
against being surprised by his colleagues emissares
or suspicious diplomats was instituted. 1t was late
when the telegraph office at Brussels reached
The clerk in charge declined the message, saying
This is the Treaty of Berlin; l cannot send it.
But for his provision for such emergency, the
great scoop would have failed at that moment
De Blowitz drove to the residence of the director
general who recognized the instructions written by
the Belgian minister. and issued peremptory order
for transmission of the momentous message.
Thus the scoop of the century was saved. At the
very hour on July 10 that the treaty was signed in
Berlin telegram from London announced that
The Times had published the preamble and
sxty-four articles, with English translation ap-
pended.

There seemed to be no way

Near midnight April 10 Charles E. Harrington,

Sail on the first steamer. Get the Revised Testament.

The chief obstacle in the accomplishment of this
mission was time The date for simultaneous publ

fixed for May IL. Ocean passage was slower than

An Ungratefu1 Newspaper


CCHLEY'S victorious encounter with Cervera IS feet
- gave birth to genuine scoop, which, however.
was not duly appreciated by the newspaper that
received it. AS told by w. G. Nicholas, edit or of
Wall Street Bulls and Bears" the story of this
abortive achievement is of supreme interest to all
ambitious journalists. Evan Justice of The New
York World" Charles Edwards of The Houston
Post" and Mr. Nicholas, who was then Washington
correspondent of The Indiana polls Journal" were
proceeding to the White House together on the after
noon of that famous Fourth of July. General Miles
coming out of the door the trio marched up.
Justice, who we'll acquainted with the General,
said to his colleagues. I'll interview General Miles.
He may have some news. Wait and I'll tell you
what he says"
The World" man caught up with the General
and, after short conversation, announced:
Miles says Sch1ey has completely smashed Ger
veras fleet. The news has come through the signal
service, and they are waiting for confirmation of
the story before giving it out. He says not
to quote him as authority; for if we do he will
deny it. It's great story for the Fourth of July"
Justice rushed to the Western Union office and
wired the news to New York special edition of
The Evening World out with this mag
nifcent scoop. 1t had barely got the street,
however, when some in authority in The
World" office began to suspect that Justice had

wired back that he pledged not to reveal this,
but he would stake his reputation and his posi-
ton on the truth of the story Back went des-

any job to stake if it is not true. We insist
upon having the of your informant"

MORGAN CASE NOT ONLY ONE
Special Pension Examiner Lyon Also
Had His Salary Reduced,
Finds $1,000 Work Too Heavy for
His Age and Secures Reduction
in Pay and Labor.

The request of Dr. Joseph d. Morgan. a
S20O0 man in the medical department Of
the Pension Office. that his salary be re-
duced to $3.50 year, has brought out the
fact that his is not the only case of this
kind on record in this particular branch
of the government service. Several
months ago Capt. G. A. Lyon, a special
examiner of the Pension Office, who was
drawing 5000 a year, went before Com
missioner Of Pensions Warner and asked
for a similar favor.
Capt. Lyon has held the position many
years. and is one Of the oldest employees
in the Pension Bureau. Two-thousand-
dollar men in the government service are
usually required 10 accomplish consider
able work each day. Owing TO his ad-
vanced years Capt. Lyon found the task
rather difficult and after conferring with
his superiors and his friends in the depart
-ment he decided TO request the Commits
sioner TO put him on easier work with a
reduction of SEQ yearly in his salary The
matter was taken before Mr.. Warner
considered. and eventually Capt Lyons
unusual request was granted
Capt Lyon is still an employe of the
same department, but with the reduction
in his income he is not confronted with
such volumes of work and duties as was
the rule when he held the position of q
special examiner with a salary of S2,00,
per annum. Capt. Lyon is more thar
eighty years Of age. and one OF the most
highly respected employees Of the Office.
