and that the circle about Antwerp was narrowing.
 Almost without exception the eve ming papers not only in Phoenix but everywhere, print only wild rumors of the days events or else reprint what the morning papers had already printed of the events of the preced ing day. Practically every detailed story of the present war has first appeared in the morning papers.
 Readers have frequently noted the contradictory tones of The Republi- can and the Gazette dispatches. The explanation is that the Gazette's dis patches are hurried rumors while those of The Republican are as ac- curate as news agencies and expert correspondents can make them.
 A further comparison with the af- ternoon contemporary is interesting at this point in detailing to the gen. eral public the superiority of The Republican over it, both from the standpoint of telegraph received and published, and from the amount of
 
 daily distributed by The Republican. The paper that was published from this office yesterday contained ten pages, the regular Saturday paper not any larger than any issue of the week, but larger and better than the daily paper issued by the Gazette. Taking Saturday mornings Repub- vii xr,ifh hn r. urday evening Gazette-the days pa per as against the days paper-the following very interesting and con- vincing result is obtained:
 The Republican published on Sat urday morning IT inches of solid type devoted entirely to telegraphic dispatches Of this 72k inches was of the latest war news, while 44h inches was telegraphic news of other of the worlds activities. As against this the Gazette published yesterday evening 34 inches of war news, much of which repeated what The Repub lican had given in the morning, and g 3-4 inches of other worlds tele- graphic news. In other words The
 
 of three times as much of that sort of news in it's Saturday morning pa per-a smaller than ordinary dispatch service-than did the Gazette in the largest paper it gets out during the entire week.
 There are a few other facts in connection with the local and state ho fNr tn O Q superiority of The Republican and it's news service over that of the after noon paper, still taking the Saturday paper as the comparison. The Re publican yesterday morning published 57 separate items of local and state news under heads and otherwise in the ten pages, taking 298 inches of
 space to do this. AS against this the Gazette published 45 stories and items in 353 inches of the twelve
 page paper, many of the stories be- l ing incorrect and rambling rewrites 1 of the news that was contained in
 the mornings Republican, and many
 stories being the same, or similar. to I those which had been published in l this paper several days before. l By the simple process of addi- | tion it is found that The Republican published Saturday morning 41s inches of red hot news, telegraph and otherwise, in ten pages, as against 353 in the twelve page afternoon pa- per. This does not count the edi- | torial page to which The Republican devotes seven columns of real mat ter as against the poor half page o1 the afternoon paper.
 1 This morning The Republican prints
 a paper of eighteen pages. It cor l responds with the Saturday paper oi the Gazette in that it is the largest paper published in this office this week. It is as full of news and good 1 things as is every other edition o1 The Republican. it is better by mul- tiple of two than any issue of the iafternoon paper-but why say more It may be of interest to know that The Republican employs a corps oi experts in the newspaper line in tht collection and dissemination of it: Inews. The editorial department i:
