'ASSOCIATED PRESS Samethiog of the History of the Great Kews Gatherer. ITS WIRES CIRCLE THE GLOBE. How It Became Heir to Boch VastFacil- itiea-Ths Various OrgmiiatioEs Verged Into This Grand Whole. Tho oivani.alion of newspapers which, under the titlo of the Asso ciated Press, now gathers and transmits the news ot the world to its thousands of members, Is the greatest enterprise of this kind in the world. hen those who must be termed its founders were com bining for the purpose of gathering news, there was nothing like it in European journalism, all news other than local and domestic then obtained by foreign journals being furnished by great shipping, in surance and financial organiza tions, such as the world-renowned "Lloyds," of Great Britain. It was before the days ef the tele graph that a few of the New York papers combined to send out re porters in specially chartered fast sail boats to meet incoming Euro pean ships, obtain the foreign papers and gather the news from officials and passengers, with which they hurried back to the city, long in advance of the vessels and had the news in print before they had anchored and often before they were in port. After a time the Philadelphia papers, yeani ng for the same news, secured an in terest in the scheme and the same matter was sent them by a fast overland carrier service as soon as the New York news boats reached the wharf, so that Philadelphia got the news a day or two earlter than before. This" w as the limited and cheap beginning of the build ing up of a system of newsgathei ing and dispensing which to-day reaches, with its myriad wire and cable feeders, to every centre of jKipulation and industry in the world following alike the mis sionary, the explorer and the soldier, giving us each day a com plete summary of the happenings in political, commercial, industrial, military, naval, religious and scientific divisions of society of every great country on the globe. Naturally the name which was given the organization was the New York Associated Tress and with the advent oi the telegraph it became great, but ii was rather exclusive and the Ponton news papers found it m-cessarv to organize a New England Associated Press to secure the news .! tiiat section. Later, when the papers of Cincinnati, Chicago, St. I.ouis. Louisville and Milwaukee U-gan to feel prosperity anil ambition, the Western Associated Press was organized. It liecame the largest in membership and ventually forced an entercliange of news from the New ork organization. There was also a Southern Associated Press, but it was never very strong or important. The Pacific Coast had no news organization until wires were strung across the continent, when the an tranciseo Can and bulle tin and the Sacramento Cnion organized a news service which was for a lorn: time ably managed by J. W. Simontou, deceased. It secured its nevts from the New York and the Western organiza tions, paying an immense price for service that was irregular and in efficient until the railroads crossed the continent and perfected the tel egraphic facilities Manager Si monton died at his post in New York and soon thereafter the Cali fornia organization was swallowed by its eastern brethren. Its old members are now out of the Asso ciated Press, but the Chronicle, Examiner and Alta are members and the Pacific Coast branch of this organization is a largn affiir, supplying the leading daily papers throughout California with news. The Western Associated Press had much trouble for a long time with the New York association, but finally made arrangements for an interchange of news. As the country grew the advisability of a consolidation of the - always clashing interests became apparent and Wm. Henry .Smith, manager of the Western organization, began laboring for such a result. He met with no encouragement in New York and finally decided to force the issue. To this end he hus banded the revenues of the associ ation carefully and accumulated a surplus fund of about half a mil lion dollars. He then made ar rangements for an independent service in the cast, and when all was ready, notified the New York Associated Press that on a certain day, a fortnight later, the Western Associated Press would discon tinue the interchange of news with the New lork organization. No attention was paid to this notice until a few davs before it took effect, when the New York manage ment telegraphed him asking for a little more time in order to ar range for a western news service. Manager Smith refused this and as there waB no alternative but con solidation, the New Yorkers sub mitted and the present Associated Press became heir to all the vast news gathering facilities of the tw o great organizations, with Wm. Henry . Smith as general manager uu uisunuaittn iu ins iura. The Associated Press ia closely allied with the Reuter, Havas and Wolf news bureaus of Europe, and is thus enabled to cover the news of the world daily, its cable and wire connections ilenetrating every part of the glole where any news of interest can lie found.
