False Charges Against the InternA,
ftOnai Rifle T0AmR.

aADuht hlHo L0AulAs
New York, October 6.-Genersl dis.
gust has been excited hereabouts by the
publication of a statement that 500 2
was paid for the appearance of the
American rife team is Gilmors's Gar
den on the occasion Of the receut pres
entation Of the centennial trophy and
other prizes to the victorious marksmeu.
Major General Dakin, who was captain
of the team, ~idiguantly denies the
charge, and declared every one of the
American team would testify to the
falsehood Of toe statement, and that any
man who said he received a dollar from
the management of Gilmore's Garden
was a fraud, The American team asked
for no money, got none and authorized
nobody to collect any. Mr.. .Brucs,
who in the international match made
2l9 points out Of a possible 225, refuted
the a~ccusatioa in a card. Il now turns
out that the money was paid, not to the
team, but for and in behalf Of the Ma.
tional Rife Association. A high officer
of that organization says that on two
occasions before the association had
made arrangements with the proprietors
Of Gilmore'R Garden, BY which a ann
wal to be paid the association last year,
the share of receipts received By the
association was $500. 1t was the plan
of the National Rife Association, and
the team. had nothing to do with it.
An arrangement was made for half the
net receipts. 1t was not considered Just
right that the riff, association, which
had paid the mems expenses, should
contribute largely t swelling the treas.
ury OF Gilmore's Garden aud receive no
benefit, when they we're needing funds,
alter the presentation dinner was given
to the two teams at D~elmonico's. This
cost $500, aud was paid for out of
the Garden receipts. 0n the following
day the excursion up the Hudson to
West Point and back cost about $500
more. This was considered a better
arrangement thar going about begging
private c%itizens to contribute for the en-.
tertainment Of the guests of the Nation

Pashs's latest dispatch it seems that the
Russians have withdrawn from the right

their entire arm at 0~ktschakalll on
Ksrstschat, fifteen miles northeast of
Kars. This is undoubtedly the greatest
and most critical affair Of the war in
Asia Minor. The object Of the Russian
attack is 10 cut Muhktar OF from Kars

him up there. If it fails the second
Russian campaign in Asia will be over.
The army OF ~Czarowitoh, IN Bulgaria,

Migrants.

The vagrsnt population Of Naples are
called the lszzsroni. As . rule they
have no dwelling houses, but sleep
every night in summer under porticoss
piaxxas. or any shelter they can find;
and in the winter or rainy time OF the
year. which lasts several weeks. the
rain falls in torrents. they resort TO
the caverns under Cape di Monte, where
they sleep in crowds like sheep in q
penfold. Those of them who have wives
aud children reside 10 the suburb of
Naples in huts, or in caverns, or cham
bsrs dug out of the mountains. Some
gain livelihood by fishing, others by
carrying burdens to and from the ship
ping; many walk about the streets
ready to run on errands, or to per-
form any labor in their power
for . very small recompense. As they
do not meet with constant employment
their wages are not sufficient for their
maintenance; but the deficiency is, in
. degree. supplied by the soup and
bread which Is distributed at the doors
Of the converts. Although there is 20
much poverty among the lower people.
there is . great appearance Of wealth
smoLg some Of the great. The Nea-
pOlitsn nobility are excessively fond Of
show and slender. This appears in the
briliancy Of their equipages, the num-
Der OF their attendants, the richness Of
their dress. and the grandeur of thsse
titles. Expense and extravagsucc are
Id the extreme.
