THE AMERICAN PRESS.

ITS GREAT POWER. [By Electric Teleguaph-—Copyright) [United Press Association.] (Received 11.20 a.m.) Washington, March 10. Mr Samuel Untermeyer, examined by the Senate Committee on banking and currency, defended the Bill to regulate stock exchanges. He denied that it was intended thereby to Russianise the American press. The Bill merely empowered the Post-master-General to exclude from the mails any publication containing quotations from an improperly organised stock exchange. Mr Untermeyer declared that the power and momentum of the American press was increasing so rapidly that the danger was that the press would Russianise the people.
