MORE RIFLE SHOOTING. How the Gen. Ordway and “Evening Star” Prizes Are to be Shot For. RULES GOVERNING THE MATCR—MEDALS FOR THE MEMB"RS OF THR CAESDMOOR TEAM—PossI- BILITIES, PROBABILITIES, APPOINTMENTS AND RESIGNATIONS, How local interest in rifle shooting has taken an upward jump since the dozen victors came home from Creedmoor and how it would con- tinue to ascend if there was only a fairly big Prize list to be raidedevery fall! So far as the great mass of the District militia is concerned there are but two events on the program. Both are good, but they are not numerous enough Yosatisfy more than a few men. Tue Stan beautiful specimen of the gold- smith’s art—will make one sharpshooter happy, but he will have to shoot phenomenally to win it, so numerous are the men who can start his perspiration to running. The other prize is the battalion prizo offered by Gea. Ordway to bat- talion teams of tive. This year it 1s very handsome clock, good enough for any militia headquarters. In many cities, far smailer than this, it is customary for wealthy firms and in- dividuals to put up medals and cups for com- petition and the probabilities are that when ext season rolls arouud there will be jewelry enough on hand to give everybody more than ene opportunity. MEDALS FOR THE CREEDMOOR TEAM. A movoment is on foot to present each raem- ber of the Creedmoor team with some tangible scrap of metullic appreciation in the shape of @ medal. Maj. Brackett of the second bat- talion. Adjt. Loefiler of the first and Brigade Staff Sergt. “Gene” Corvaizier are at the bot- tom of the scheme. Tho general idea seme to be to have each member of the guard contri- bute a small sum—not to exceed 25 cents, and to be preferably 10 cents for each enlisted man. If en officer wants to give more he can do it. To this will be added the first contri- butions made voluntarily by Commissioners Douglass and fine. When a sufficient sum has been realized appropriately desgued medals will be made and presented. Some of the regi- mental, battalion and company commanders are taking hold of the mutter wish considerable energy and others will fall in line as soon ap they know what is going on. TWO BIG RIFLE COMPETITIONS, Circular No. 6 will be of interest to the rifle- men of the guard, a numerous class, constantly on the increase. The document is as follows: The following rifle matches are announced and will be shot at the rifle range at Washing- ton barracks on Wednesday, November 5. “STAR” Maton.

Alternates should be so arranged that in shooting the match there maybe in any event at least one man All competitors must appear on the day of the match in the undress uniform of the Na- tional Guard. AN IMPROVED GALLERY. The men who have been competing their Season's scores in the gallery during the past week or so have not worked under one of the disadvantages which worried many a fair shot earlier in the season. It used tv be so that the glare of white targets aud white background would frequently cause weakness in ordinarily good eyes. Now the glare is no more. ‘The targets are just as white as ever, but the back- ground has been painted a dark blue gray, Which relieves the strained optic and mukes the mark stand out more clearly than ever. Some of the companies that went to the gal- lery did not shoot. Their guns were in good order and there was a plentiful supply of am- Munition. but the commanding officers neglected to bring their season’s score cards with them, so it was not possible to distinguish those who had not completed their record from those who had. Seven battalions were given an opportunity to finish up their gallery practice, but some of them or parts of them will have to try it aguin. ‘Tonight the sixth battalion will do its shooting and on Monday night the cavalry troop and the general stat? and the field and staff officers and the non-commissioned staff of regiments will close their accounts, COME UP HIGHER. Gen. Ordway yesterday recommended that commissions be issued to accord with the fol- lowing: Third battalion—First Lieut, Henry W.

And now for an eagincer company. The fol- lowing circular, No, 7, bas been issued from headquarters and is signed by Gen. Ordway: is proposed to organize an engineer com- pany in the District National Guard. No na- tional guard in the country has such an organ- ization, but believing it tv be a branch of the fervice that will attract men of ability character, and, in event of forming a volun- teer army. one in which trained and educated men would be specially valuable, 1 have de- termined to introduce it. tue plan of organization contemplates a company of three separate platoous, each plutoou to have distincs duties and methous of instruction, but the company to be independ- ent and compleze im itself for purposes of pro- tection and csefulness, the first platoon to be the Sihting uwit of the company.

Of special importance at this this time—and the interest will not be lessened by time—are the republics which stretch southward from the land of the stars and stripes down to the peers mits of me cee PF cae iquid stores of eye-opening ma! |—not yan —in this immense and heretoforo but littie known stretch of territory have recently be- come slightly apparent, so when the national board of commissioners’ committee on organi- zation, plau and scope of the world’s fair ap- proached the subject of Central and South American exhibits they came to the conciusion that it would be a good thing to secure tho opinion of some one who was familiar with the subject. Lwiy: try they requested Mr. Will- iam E. Curtis of this city to submit « plan fora Latin-Americanexhibit. This Mr. Curtis did,and as the suggestions have been adopted by the commission they have been made public. The fact that much of the museum material col- lected will ultimately finda resting place in this city wilt not detract from local interest oer e the propositions advauced by Mr. ir “The sadcess of all such undertakings as the approaching expositiou,” says Mr. Curtis, ‘de- pends ely upon the completeness of organi- zation and the classification of exhibits. ‘ihe should be coilected in a systematic and method- ical manner, With a view to historical vequence, ethnological relations and geographical asso- ciation, aud their classification and installation should follow u similar rule. There should be a distinct and separate de- partment devoted to Spanish and Portuguese America, and within it should be represented as ucourately and a» complotoly as possible, by chronological periods aud geographical divis- ions, the development of civilization from the tims of the discovery to the present day. I would beg leave to suggest the following plan: PERIOD OF THE DISCOVERY. “First, A model of the house at Genoa in which Columbus was born, with a collection of portraits of himself, his family and as many as eee of the men who were assuciated with him and his discoveries—both his patrons and companions, “becond. An illustration of the court of Ferdinand and Isabella, with life-sized figures, Properly costumed; portraits and facsimiles of state papers relating to the first voyago and subsequent events in the life of the great dis- coverer. “Third. A perfect reproduction of the caravel in which Columbus sailed, manned by sailors in the gostume of the time, to be moored in or near the grounds of the exposition; tho caravel to be equipped as nearly as possible as it was during the voyage, with originals or tac similes of the compusscs and other nautical in- struments used by navigators of that age, maps of the world as then known, together with the actual charts used by Columbus, if those can be obtained, and if not, accurate reproductions, “Fourth, A model in relief of the West India Islands and the north coast of South America, showing the routes of the several voyages made by Columbus and the other early discoverers, with bistorical illustrations, models, relics, &c , of Americus Vespucci, Alonza Ojeda, Nunez de Balboa and others, “Fifth, Life-sized models of the natives of Amorica at the time of the discovery, with a collection of objects showing their costumes, habits, customs and manner of life. “Sixth. The last days of Columbus, illustrated with models, portraits, a collection of the originals of his papers, similes of his last will and testament, exhibits illustrating the circumstances of his death and burial, models of his coffin andtomb and the numerous mon- Peery erected to his memory in various parts of the “There are a number of priceless relicn of Columbus in existence, including twenty-nine original letters written by his hand, and by proper negotiations many of them may be obtained for the exposition; but it would be necessary to offer satisfactory guarantees for their safe keeping and return, and they would not only heve to romain in the custody of per- sons designated by their owzers, under such guard as they would require, but a fire-proof building or apartment would have to be pro- vided for them, “I submit that these relics would constitute one of the greatest attractions that could be offered, and especial efforts should be made to secure them. PERIOD OF THE CONQUEST. “First, The epoch of Cortez, illustrated by models of the ships in which he sailed, the equipment of his men, costumed figu \ow- ing their arms and armor, tical instru- ments, maps and charts showing the advance- ment in geographical knowledge. “Second. Models of the temples and palaccs of Montezuma, illustrations of the religion, customs and social cofidition of the Aztecs; their arts and industries, methods of agricul- ture, mode of life, military and political organ- ization, with costumed figures. “Third, A similar illustration of the civiliza- tion of the Incas in Peru, with models of their palaces and temples; religious emblems; cos- tumed es showing their apparel; imple- ments of household use, agriculture, war and mechanical industry; with figures showing the arms, armor &nd weapofs of Pizarro and his men; the banner of Pizarro, embroidered by Queen Isabella, now in the city hall at Caraces, “Fourth, The prehistoric civilization in Yu- catan and Central America, illustrated by models and relics from the ruins of the Tolteo cities, of which so little is known. “Very valuable and extensive collections il- lustrativo of the period of the conquest can be easily obtained in Mexico, Poru and Nicaragua, both from public museums and private col- lectora, with proper guarantees from the goy- ernment of their safe custody and return, THE OOLONIAL PERIOD. “First, Collections showing the development of the southern continents from the time of the Coa ree! to the epoch of the revolution, giving by object lessons a continuous history of the Central and South American republics aud their progress iu civilization, with portraits of their eminent men and examples of the arteand industries of the colonial period. “Second. The epoch of the revolution, illus- trated wy Portraits, historical pictures and papers, iginals or fac-similes of the docia- ions of independence of the soveral repub- lics, the weapons aud military equipments of the time, rejics of Bolivar and other great lead- ers and other collections tracing the history of the struggle that resulted in the separation of tho colonies from the crown of Spain, “Third.

The subcommittee of the House judiciary committee, to which was referred the Enloo resolution to bring before the bur of the House one of the doorkee to answer for a breach of members’ meietlage in attempting to arrest Mr. Enloe while the latter was going out of the chamber, has completed its investigation of the affair. The incident occurred about six weeks ago while a call of the House was in progress The subcommittee will report to the full committee that although the doorkeeper may havo laid his hand gently on Mr. Enloe’s shouider, yet no attempt was made to arrest or to stop him, exceps for the purpose of explain- ing to him what his (the doorkeeper's) instruc- tions were: consequently no offense was given. The subcommittee will therefore report the resolution adversel, MR. REE: S Mr. Luther B. Little is up in New Iamp- shire. Mr. Little ix one of the St. Paul Pioneer Press correspondents in this city. He writes froin the backwoods of the granite state in the following key: “Everybody in this section thinks Tom Reed has rented the Capitol building and is room- ing there, and they imagine that his head reaches way up above the top of the dome. They swear by him and insist that his count- ing of a quorum is ‘gosh durned hoss sense.’” THE LATTER DAY SAINTS, Representative Caswell yesterday reported favorably from the committee on judiciary the Senate bill to amend tke laws in reference to polygamy ang the restriction in ownership of churches to real estate above a fixed value. The bill bas particular reference to the Church of the Latter Day Saints, which became the owner of large properties beyond the limit, and whose charter was forfeited in 1887. The proceeds of the sale of the real estate were turned over to the school fupd of the state, but no provision was made for the disposition of the personal property belonging to the corporation, which Bow amounts to neurly $400,000, aud 1s awaiting the action of the court. It consists of donations from various services tothe Mormon church for the promotion of that faith, The com- mittee in a report says it cannot be denied that the purpose of the donation was illegal, and deems it wise to let the money take the same course as that derived from the sale of real estate and place it in the school fund, The committee recommends that the bill pass, McAULIFFK QUICKLY WHIPPED. Slavin Knocked Him Out in About Six Minutes, The much-talked-of fight between Frank Slavin, the Australian champion, and Joe McAuliffe, the American heavy-weight pugi- list, took place at the Ormonde Club in London at 5 o'clock this moruing and was wou by the former. At about 4 o'clock the principals entered the ring, followed by their seconds, On the cali of time both men advanced at once to the center of the ring. After some preliminary: sparring Slavin led off. Slavin ied rather low with his right. This was re- turned by one from McAuliffe with the left, which missed its mark. The American quickly followed it up with a good one from the left; then the right was busy, and in some exchanges which followed McAuliffe had decidedly the better of it, When they broke away McAuliffe landed a powerful low on his oppouent’s chest with his right, but Slavin promptly retaliated, wherenpon Mc- Auliffe came to the ground, The second round ended in another drop for McAuliffe, resulting in Slavin being declared the winner. The ht lasted six and threc-quarter minutes, cAuliffe's face showed marks of sovere pun- ishment, After McAuliffee came to the ground in the first round there was tremendous cheering in the Australian corner. Upon McAuliffe ris- ing tho two got together and McAuliffe landed a terrific blow on Slavin's face. ‘Ihe American was at once keen on the force of his man, and twice with the right hit him tremendous blows, time not being called until McAuliffe left off with a decided advantage. In the second round McAuliffe began with his right on blavin's face, then quickly got away to escape determined rush by Slavin, Right around the ring the Australian chased his man, who now began to cuta sorry figure, and when they got close enough Slavin Was more strenuots in dealing punishment with his might, After the men closed the American broke away with a lot the worst of the deal, On resuming fight Slavin saw his chance and, availing himself of it, very quickly went in to finish his already beaten mau and he soon knocked Me- Auliffe down with a clean blow and, after wait- ing for his return, recommenced most vigor- ously. It was now all over with the mission boy, as he only rose to receive terrific punish- ment and going down again as soft as possible; and his seconds, seeing that further persever- ance would be worse than useless, intimated that Slavin had most effectually defeated Mc- Auliffe. The announcement occasioned a scene of the wildest enthusiasm. ‘The winner gets cae and the Police Gazelle championship it, Se TOLSTOI TO BLAME. “Kreutzer Sonata” Causes a Breach of Promise Suit, Tolstoi's “Kreutzer Sonata” has been saddled with the responsibility for breaking up a mar- riage in Canada recently. A writ was recently issued at Toronto on behalf of Miss Florence Harrison, who claims $5,000 from Roderick McRea Mackenzie for breach of promise, Three weeks ago he came to Toronto for the purpose of making arrangements for the wedding, which was to have taken place on Saturday last, Everything went on harmoniously till Monday, the 15th, when Mackenzie packed a small and left the h Th arriage.
