Show TmeLoneo.v "Times" as a news-pArtii news-pArtii The reader has turned to the Tan's for the latest news ol" the war. This is due to the way in which that journal makes use of the telegraph. The letters of its correspondents have been sent by telegraph iuBtead of by post, as much as a whole page being frcijuenlly filled with telegraphic dispatches. dis-patches. The cost must nave been enormous, because telegraphing from Belgrade is a very costly affair, Ol late- years, indeed, the conductors ol the leading journal have not been deterred by monetary considerations from giving the public the maximum of uews at the shortest possible interval of time. Tho change is attributable to the present manager, Mr. 'acdonald, who, whether engaged en-gaged in making improvements in the Walter presa or in supervising the concerns of his journal, has no living superior. For a considerable time after the introduction of telegraphy the other journals of London inserted quite as many dispatches as the Times. They were all procured from the agency established by Mr. Keuter, aud thy wore not always interesting interest-ing or trustworthy. Now however, how-ever, the Times is superseding the dispatches of Renter with those sent by iu own agents. A special wire from the office iu Paris to the office in Loudon brings alt the news collected col-lected throughout the continent, and wherever anything of importance is going on a long telegraphic dispatch is sure to appear in the Times. Thus it really remains the leading jourua1. While managed as it is now, there ib little fear that competition will dc- pose it from its eminence. -Boston ' Advertiser's London cor. |
