THEY WAVE SECURED A SPECIAL BARREL AND SPECIAL AMMUNITION FOR THEIR OWN TEAM— T OF OTHER TEAMS. WILL DO THEIR BEST IX Carepaoon, L. L. September 2, 1891. Staff Correspondence of Th If Henry Hilton had known how much of semi-dishonesty and fine-spun chicanery his be- que: a8 going to breed, the chances are that he would never have donated for rifle com tition that magnificent work of art known as the Hilton international trophy. There was in Mr. Hilton's mind when he made the gener- ous gift referred to q broadness that the New York intellect of today fails to comprehend; a keenness that is lost sight of in a cloud of state pride—a pride that seems to lack something of upright conscientiousness. The Hilton idea was one which, if squarely carried out, would bring appliances. Capt. John 8. Shepherd, secretary of the association and a probable member of the New York team, is just as well satisfied with the situation as is Gen. Robbins. There are times when Maj. Pollard seems to be a little bit aiscouraged at having to wrestle with such big odds, but he has_ made up his mind to put up the figbt of his life on Saturday. He will lead one of the most determined teams that ever participated in a forlorn hope. Every man has resolved to do his utmost, no matter how great the handicap. Up to this time the Washington boys have had no reason for complaining of Creedmoor weatlier, but while yesterday and today have been warm and sunshiny the meteorological conditions have not becn favorable to large scores. Mirage has kept the targets dancing in a most elusive manner, and what seemed to be a certain bull’s-eye frequently turnsout to be a three or a two. This afternoon there is promise of cloudiness and possibly rain, and while moisture at Creedmoor is excessively moist “the southerners” generally get there with more celerity than when there is much dry warmth. The progress which is being made by some of the competitors may be fol- lowed. DISTRICT RIFLEMEN'S SCORES. Here are the figures: All-comers’ match, 200 and 500 yards; highest possible, 50—Lieut.

DOES your now feel stuffed . DUES jour u ull, as if there was s lump in | tion. teams to the fali meeting at Creedmoor, what « steat opportunity would then be offered for test- ing the relntive merits of the rifles in an even competition. In addition to the foreign guns American teams would contribute to the inter- esting ussortment of firearms. Michigan would bring its Sharps, New York its Kemingtons, while the District of Colmmbia, numerous states and the regular army team could show forth the excellence of the Springtield gun. The conditions would be the same f and the results of such competition would be inval- uable to this government and to the govern- ments of the various states. SHOULD BE A CHANGE OF NAME. All these advantages have, however, been lost sight of by those who control the manage- ment of such meetings as the one now in progress at this piace. The organization which started out as the National Rifle Association of merica degenerated some time ago into the tional Rifle Association of the State of New York, Limited, and now its most appropriate title would be The Ritle Association for the Encouragement of Prize Winning at Any Cost by New York Teams. All the national features which once made Creedmoor the American sharpshooters’ Mecca have vanished and today it is almost certain that New York and the Dis- trict of Columbia will be the only competi in the two big matches which are on t gram for Saturday next. Why are so mai unrepresented? Where are the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Maseachu- setts, Michigan and other expert state teams: Where is the army team, and who knows what has become of the dozen crack shots of the engineers? They bave all been here in times past, und had they been fairly treated they would be here now. No one can argue that there has been any loss of interest in rifle shooting; such a statement refutes itself. ‘Those who shot at Creedmoor six or seven years ago would gladly come again if there was any assurance that they would not be re- garded as deadly enemies to the peace and welfare of the state of New York, AN INTERESTING STOR Washingtonians would probably be consider- ably surprised if the District team declined to shoot for either the Hilton or the interstate trophies, yet the local riflemen would be more than justified in reaching such a conclusion. The probabilities of such action have been freely discussed, and while there is absolute unanimity as to the propriety of that course the weight of sentiment favors a desperate struggle with New York, unequal though the term be. And now somebody will want to know where the inequality comes in. It is interesting little story that ought to make honest citizen of the empire state feel ashamed of those of his brethren who have for ten years past plotted to secure the Hilton trophy. Last September the District and New Jersey teams competed under mos: discouraging con- ditions; #0 discouraging that New Jersey re- fused to come again. ‘Ihis year the handican is superlatively greater than ever before and the chances of New York's victory have correspond- ingly become more numerous Guard of New York is armed with a Remington fifty-caliber gun that has always been able to bold its own in competition with the Spring- field. In last year's Hilton shoot the highest score was made with a Hemington, and many of the minor prizes were captured with the aid of that same weapon, but the fact remained, nevertheless, that in’ the big event Loth Wash- ington and New Jersey, armed with Spring- fields, distanced their competitor. A SPECIAL BARREL AND SPECIAL AMMUNITION. Since that day no scheme that promisod victory but has been thoroughly discussed, and at last a decision was reached which satistied the conspirators. ‘We will have a special barrel made for the use of our team,” they said, ‘and then we will have special ammunition | made to suit the barrel. Then we are bound to win.” With this burglarious idea satisfactorily formulated they awaited the outcome of their | orders and within a little while were in _posses- | sion of a sufficient numbez of quick-twist bar. rels (such as are used in high-grade “special military” rifles) and the necessary ammuuition. Neither the gun nor the ammunition come | within the true and unperverted terms of the | Hilton competition. Even the terms set forth | by the association say: “Weapons, any military rifle which has been adopted, authorized or issued as an official arm by any state or govern- ment.” Now, this “sj barrel is not a part of the armament of any military force and has never been adopied by the state of New York, except vicariously, for this particu- lar “purpose, and in a contemptibly sur- reptitious manner. Then as to the ammuni- tion. Heretofore there have been proper re- strictions, but this year the anxious New York- ers (in whose interest this so-called National Litle Association alone moves), had the pliant | association change the terms of the match so as to admit “any ammunition.” With this sufti- cient but inequitable support the sharp prac- tice proceeded until a suitable cartridge had been manufactured and tested. The new mis- tile contsined $50 grains of lead and was pro- clied by eighty grains of powder; 10 per cent Boch more of ballot and powder than are con- tained in the Springfield cartridge. Wath this the combination was regarded as compicte and the wchemers rejoiced with exceeding great joy. They said: “We will invite teams here from all portions of the country and they will come imagining in their hearts that we will oxce more be beaten. And when they have come to make our meeting a success and are our guests we will arise and smite them, be- cause we have put up a job on them and will shoot with special guns and special ammuni- And it may come to pass that our duplicity will be discovered, but that will mat- ter not, for we shall possess the Hilton trophy t Inst and it may be ours forever.” ‘THE NON-KILITARY FEATURE.

' ¢HE DEATH OF CREEDMOOR. i One of the results of New York's action im | changing the terms to serve its own selfish pur- poses will be the demise of Creedmoor as a na- tional meeting place fortificmen. All the old teams that came here regularly every year have forsaken the place, and it is ‘safe to “say that Washington will never send another team here after this year unless there are radical changes in the management of the meeting. ‘The wool cannot be drawn over anybod) this. Abraham Lincoln once said: fool xome of the people all the time may fool all of the people ou cannot fool all of ‘hat fits this case exactly. DETERMINAT:ON OF THE DISTRICT TEAM.

Why 8 Philadelphia Woman Donned Maie Attire. When the name of John Thomas was called at the central station, Philadelphia, yesterday | morning a rather effeminate looking individual, with closely cropped gray hair and dreseed ina it of black, stood up. The voice thet an- swered. “Here, sir,” was weak and womanish, and the magistrate,being unable to hear plainly, told the prisoner to come close to the desk. ‘The walk from the dock to the witness stand was in keeping with the general appearance of the prisoner, and no surprise was expressed by the spectators when the effeminate looking in- dividual asked that the name on the docked be changed from John to Mary Thomas Policeman Lilly had arrested her at 6th and Market streets for appearing on the streets in male attire. After giving the name of Mary ‘Thomas the prisoner stuted that she was mar- ried, and that poverty had driven her to dis- card dresses for man's apparel. She has for several mornings picked up a few pennies by selling newspapers on the streets, and had at- tracted much remark by her womanish manner and walk. She is a woman of considerable re- finement, and told her story in a quiet but positive manner that convinced the magistrate of its truth. She refused to disclose her resi deuce. BLAMING THE GOVERNMENT. ‘The Dissatisfaction With the Census Finds Vent in the Canadian Parliament. In the Canadian house of commons yesterday afternoon Sir Richard Cartwright moved a resolution condemning the government based upon the unsatisfactory nature of the census returns. ‘The resolution set forth that the total population of the dominion on April 1 was 4,829,344; that the emigration was 866,171; that the total increase was 504,534; that a natural in- crease of 2'4 per cent per annum should have brought the population to 6,404,944; that 400,000 square miles of territory had been made available for settlement in the northwest dur- ing tho last ten years; that the difference be- tween the ectual and natural increase is 1,568,000: that during the past ten years tax tion has been enormously increased under the existing tariff, and that the deplorable state of affairs disclosed commands a radical change in the policy and methods of government followed by the administration. Sir Richard arraigned the government at great length, declaring that they were respon- sible for this'state of affairs. Geo. E. Foster, minister of finance, followed Sir Richard in reply. TRADES UNIONS, Discussion Before the Social Science Asso- elation at Saratoga. The time of the American Social Science As- sociation in seasion in Saratoga was yesterday taken up by the department of social economy. Interest centered in the paper read by Samue! Gompers of New York, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, on “Trades Unions, Their Achievements, Methods and Aims.” ‘Mr. Gompers said that in the organization of the trades union political issues, purely as such, find barren ground. There isa steady and growing conviction among orgarized toilers that political aims cannot settle economic demands. Mr. Gompers reviewed strikes ss 9 method of obtaining relief. He raid they | should be avoided whenever and wherever pos- sibie. Prof. Edward W. Bemis of Vanderbilt Uni- versity. Nashville, Tenn., read a paper on the “Relation of Trades Unions to Apprentices,” criticising severely their gemeral adverve action to apprentices and alluding to the great num- ber of half-skilled laborers with whom Ameri- can workshops are filled. Hie suid he saw great opportunities for future relief in the manual labor classes in the schools and the trades and mechanics’ schoois which have been established in several cities. P. J. McGuire of Philadelphia discussed the topic of “Shorter Hours of Labor” from the curtailing standpoint. The Labor Troubles in Tennessee. There was a lively scene in the lower house of the Tennessee general assembly yesterday morning over the introduction of a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of senators and representatives to investigate the condition of the penitentiary, the convict leaso system and the recent Briceville trouble. Under suspension of the rules the resolution was taken up and a hot running debate ensued, fol- lowed by the introduction of many amend- ments, ‘Mr. Taylor of Anderson advocated the reso- lution. He demanded a fair investigation of the recent troubles by the present legislature. (his body does not understand the situation at Briceville,” he said, “and I think you should have all the facts.” Assistant Labor Commissioner Alleman said members opposing the abrogation of the lease had been scouring the country for proof to sustain their view. ‘he matter was referred to the penitentiary committee. The tendency of most of the amendments wus to prevent the resolution from committing the house to oppo- sition to the abrogation of the present lease, fe ssh caida se Received Letters Like Madame Blavatsky’s. Mre. Annie Berant, referring to her assertion that she had received messages similar to those which Madame Blavatsky received, writes that she only desired to clear Madame Blavateky's memory of the charge of fraud, it having been said that Madame Blavateky herself wrote the letters which she claimed to have received. Mrs. Besant says she does not want to deal with the question of the wuthenticity of the letters. Were she to submit proofs elie would ‘only meet the fate of Madame Blavatsky and be dubbed an impostor. A Well-Known Horse Dealer Fails. Jacob Baney, a well-known horse dealer of Myerstown, Pa., has failed. Executions were issued yesterday for €34,600. Some of the ex- ecution creditors are members of his family. The liens against Baney’s property aggregate about $150,000. The outside debts not secured by lien are estimated at from 250.000 to £100,000. ‘The bulk of the consists of real estate, which is covered with liens to the full extent of its value. The estimate of all his assets has as yet not been made. WORLD'S FAIR MATTERS. The Lady Managers Meet—The Sunday Ques- tion Under Discussion. ‘The national board of lady managers of the Columbian exposition met1n Chicago yesterday morning and proceeded to the election of sec- retary asthe first business of the session. It was supposed that there would be something of astruggle to replace Miss Phoebe Couzins in that position, but, without opposition to speak of, Mrs. Susan Gale Cooke, who has been occu- pying the place since Miss Couzins was deposed, was duly chosen. Congressman W. M. Springer of Mlinois, who introduced the amendment in the world's fair bill that created the board of lady managers. was present and felicitously complicd with « re- quest from Mra. President Palmer to address the ladies. Mrs, Palmer then presented her report. She said in part: “When we adjourned a year ago we were completely under the direc- tion of the national commission. Now we are practically an independent body. Then we did not know where the money for our work was to come from. Now we have received appro- priations. We have been given complete con- trol of the woman's building and those affai which naturally come within the woman's de- partment. Salaries have been voted to our officer $5,000 per annum has been proffered jent and $3,000 to the secretary. ‘The sion shows its kindly feeling toward us by assuring us that in case Congress refuses to give us uppropriations we must not give up, but may continue asa board.” The national Columbian commission met in the city council chamber at noon. The first matter of business which came before it was the reading of a communication from the gen- eral secretary of the American Sabbath Union, asking shearing for a delegation from that body on the subject of closing the exposition on Sunday. Commissioner Mercer of Wyoming moved that the communication be laid’ on the table. ‘This called out several protests on the ground of discourtesy to the delegation of distin guished men connected with the Sabbath Union Who are in Chicago to present the memorial of the tnion and a statement from President Palmer to the effect that he had replied tc the communication to the effect that the union would undoubtedly be granted a hearing by the commission. oner Mercer's motion was voted vommissioner Massey of Delaware read from the minutee of tlc inst meeting « resolution passed by the cormission disposing of this fame question. ‘ihe resolution said in effect that a» the commsion’s powers were limited to pasting wpon the work after it had been laid out by the local directory. it could take no sction in the matter of opening or closifig of the exposition on Sunday unt the action of the directory on that question should come be- fore it for ratification. Mr. Massey, however, thought it due to the gentlemen of the Sab- bath Union to five them a bearing and that they should be advised in advance of the action already tuken by the commission. Finally, on motion of Commissioner De Young of Californin,amended by Commissioner jassey, it was voted to appoint a committee of three ‘to confer with the Sabbath union d gation and fix an hour during today’s session at which the commission woula hear their me- morial. Acommunication from the Columbian Sun- day Closing Association saying that in view of the action of the commission at its last meeting it would defer the presentation of its memorial until the matter should come before it for final decision was read and placed on file. ‘The delegation of the American Sabbath Union, headed by Col. Elliott F.Shepard of the New York Mail and Express as its president, met with the representatives of the local Bab- bath associations in the auditorium in the morning to suggest the best methods to be used in presenting its memorial for the closing ot the world’s fair on Sunday. The discussion was informal and it was finaliy decided to appoint a committee to arrange with the national com- mission for an hour at which it would receive the memorial. At the meeting of tho world’s fair national commission a report from the buildings and grounds committee estimated the expense of the Epotition up to the opening dey at €17 2 In this connection a letter was re- ceived from President Buker of the board of directors asking the commission to define its Position on the subject of an appeal to Con- gress for a £5,000,000 loan. It is proposed to offer the first receipts of the fair as security for the loan. Commissioner Harris introduced a resolution providing for a committee to ask Congress to adjust the tariff on exhibits to further relieve foreign exhibitors from onerous imports. The resolution was referred to a special committee. The London Chronicle announces that the mode! of Nelson's war ship, Victory, which has been shown at the naval exhibition, will be sent to the Columbian exposition at Chicago. ‘The Chronicie also says that the Prince of Wales has all but decided to goto Chicago and is likely to be accompanied by Emperor William of Germany. The Illustrated London News will send to the Chicago exhibition a reproduction of Shake- speare # Stratford house. ‘The Missouri world’s fair commission met in St. Louis yesterday. The most weighty ques- tions that came up for discussion and settlement were the the erection of a suitable building for Missouri and the appointment of proper com- missions for the carrying out of the cetails of the slate exhibit and also the creation of the office of executive commission. ‘These ques- = had not been settled when recess was en. —_+ee- ‘The Strike Renewed. The Lake Erie and Western strike has been renewed. On the Lafayette division traffic was again ata standstill yesterday, no trains having been moved. A few trains were tied up on the Peru division, but the majority of the freight trains were running. The Sandusky division was unsifected. The men stopped work yeu- terday becnuse the new schedule was not satis- factory to them. General Munager Bradbury expressed himself as being much surprised when the men on the Peru division went out again yesterday morning. He says the men have submitted some new demands to him that were not mentioned in the basis of settlement just fixed upon. He is also inclined to the opinion that the strike is largely one of sympa- thy for the Lafuyette division strikers, : sence S A Witness Whose Lips Were Sealed. M.S. Lonegan, who was the solicitor for the new syndicate formed to complete the Baie des Chaleurs railway and is one of the foremost di- rectors, was examined by the senate committee on railways at Ottawa yesterday touching the alleged scandal in connection with that road. Asked to say if he had paid any money to any member of the house of commons for his sup- port of this bill be at first evaded the question and then stood silent, during which it was moved that he be discharged, and the witness retired quickly without auswering question. It is commonly reported that an answer to that question would have led to the expulsion of a member of the house of commons. ———_——_+oo___.

Several American bicycle records were broken in trials at Hampdon Park, Springfield, Mass., yesterday. The track was in fine con- dition. W. F.

Senator Morrill of Vermont and Senator Mc- Pherson of New Jersey, the senatorial NEWS FROM EUROPE, The Dardaneties Question—A Royal Love Match—TIwo Emperors to Meet. A London dispatch states: A high official of the foreign office thinks it improbable that an immediate serious dispute will arise over the sultan's permitting the Moscowa to pass through the Dardanelles. Official dispatches record the fact that the Moscowa’s stoppage at the entrance to the straits was due to a breach of the regulation requiring that notice be sent to the porte and that the sultan’s firman be ob- tained before making the passage. The Russian government replied that the customary notice was unnecessary, as the only military aboard were soldiers who had been discharged, having served their time. A similar case occurred in April, when a Russian ship, under the commer- cial flag, carrying soldiersand war material, was ermitted to’ puss through the Dardanelles. ¢ British ambassador then advised the sultan that Great Britain and the other signatory powers would take united action in the event of any material change in the porte’s policy in regard to the Dardanelles. The signatory ee were cognizant of the Moscowa inci- lent, but do not consider it such a breach of the treaty of Paris as to require a formal protest. ‘THE CZAR’S IRRITATION. The czaris said to be much irritated by the Appearance of another natural son of his late natural brothers and sisters, whose existence he makes no concealment of regarding as a stigma on the imperial bouse of being himself a man of strict morality in his family relations. Tho latest applicant for recognition, therefore, although no doubt genuine, is not likely to get much for his pains. ENGLISH EMIGRANTS IX BRAZIL. The British board of trade bas issued an urgent warning to intending emigrants to beware of Brazil, as the British who have gone there aro represented to be in a desti- tute and miserable condition and generally desirous of returning home. The board of trado says that owing both to climatic and social conditions Brazil is utterly unfitted for settlement by people from countries like Engiand and emigration is sure to end in dis- appointment at the best. A MEDICAL MISSION I¥ COREA. Lilian Cooke, who holds a diploma as a doctor of medicine, has started for Corea. | She intends to establish @ medical mission for | women and children at Seoul, the capital. Corea is reported to be showing @ marked in- crease in trade and prosperity. A ROYAL LOVE MATCH. ‘The betrothal of the czarewitch to the Princess Marie of Greece will shortly be formally announced during a visit of the czarina to Athens. It is s love match, the ezarewitch adhering to his choice, despite the advocacy by the czar of his union to a Monte- negrin princess. According to Russian canon- ical law the marriage is within the prohibited degrees of kinship, but, this obstacle will prob- bly be overcome ‘by the consent of the holy and an imperial ukase, which isas power- papal bull. The czar 1s the defacto ecclesiastical as well as the lay head of the Russo-Greek church. THE FRENCH ARMY MANEUVERS. The concentration of French troops for the maneuvers in which they have been ordered to engage has been completed in a manner ich the ministry of war pronounces satis- factory. The several divisions reached their cantonments in accordance with the plans laid down, and the train service is commended as admirable. ‘The first series of the maneuvers begins tomorrow. MEETING OF THE EMPERORS. Emperor William and Chancellor von Caprivi have started for Horn tomeet Emperor Francis Joseph. Apropos of the departure of Emperor Wil- liam last night for the scene of the Austrian army maneuvers, the North German Gazette 8a ‘he emperors will again bear testimony to tho eerious import attached to the consoli- dation of the ailixnce between Austria and Ger- many. ‘The mecting ought to be welcomed as a sign of the indissoluble nature of the allianc and should reinspire the hope that peace will be maintained.” ‘OURMAN PRESS OPINIONS. The Deutsche Zeitung says: “Since the visit of the French fleet to Cronstadt the inter- national situation has been greatly modified. ‘The German emperor no longer seeks to visit the czar. Uneasinees pervades Europe. The meeting, of Emperor William and. Emperor Francis Joseph thus acquires a greater import than it would otherwise have had" a The official Abend Post sees in the presonca of Emperor Willem and the King of Saxony at the Austrian maneuvers continued proof of the firmuess and security of the dreibund and jays that the meeting ought to make peace. ITALY'S COMMERCE FALLING OFF. | The commerce of Italy for the seven months | ended July 31 shows a marked falling off as compared with the same period of last year. The imports decreased $20,800,000 in value and the exports $4,000,000. During the same period the revenue from customs fell off $4,300,000. It is rumored that the government proposes to ask at the approaching session of parliament for the abolition of the edict of Cardinal Pacca, which forbids the export of the works of the old masters. If this edict should be abolished it will at once enable Prince Borghesl to be re- lieved of his finuncial difficulties and at the same time give a chance to the United States | to become the possessor of a famous collection of tho old masters.

Lightning Strikes a Camp of Grand Army ‘Men and Sons of Veterans. During a severe rain storm at Grand Island, Neb., yesterday, where the state Grand Army and Sons of Veterans’ reunion is being held, a hghtning bolt struck the camp. Two lieuten- ants and four sergeants of cavalry troop K were seated in the first sergeant’s tent. The lightning struck the tent, scattering the splin- ters in all directions. Nine men were struck. When the alarm was given the two lieutenants and four sergeants were found lying flat in the tent with their heads buried in the debris. The guards were found lying on the ground. The doctors believe that all will recover. The tent was wrecked, and it is believed that had it not been for the metal on the pole many Prete in the surrounding tents would have i C1 : electric ud.
