In Chic or New York for instance, an evening newspaper carries the American news only up to the hour of its issue, whereas here in Seattle thesevening dispatches cover the news of three hours after, and from European capitals of six hours later. This is all owing to the difference in three hours’ time between Seattle and New York, and six hours between Seattle and London. Happenings in London up until mid- night are reported in The Star in its afternoon edition six hours previous. Baseball games of the American and Na tional leagues played along the Atlantic coast appear in our early edition each i ‘This difference in time is of decided advantage to the afternoon newspapers of Seattle and the Pacific coast. As a result of this great difference in time there is therefore nothing fresh left for the morning papers of Seattle, pub- lished next morning, except possibly the night crimes, which they might as well leave unrecorded.
