The End Of the Rifle Confess

Tee British team shot remarkably well
hut the Americans shot Lestle better, and
continue TO maintain their supremacy as the
champion shots of the world. 1t is stated
that great interest was felt in England in the
result of the match, and that the money, to
The extent Of - 800 requisite TO pay the ex-
penses of the British team here, was raised
by a subscription headed by the Prince OF
Wales. The test has been one of weapons
also, as well as skill in Workmanship. Tha
English have held very consciously to the
idea OF the superiority OF their muzzle loading
rifle over the American breech- loader main
tanning that the muzZle- loader is truer, and
more easily kept clean than the breech-
loader. They have also rather favored the
prone position dying upon the breas) as
better one than the American position OF
sring lying on the back. Several OF the
British team, including the captain, Sir
Henry HalfOrd, have, however, adopted the
American position, and in view of the re-
suit OF the present match IL woull not be
strange If John Bull should also conclude
that our breecb-lOaders are the most effective
arm; especially as the American supremacy
in the contest was marked at the long range,
where according 10 the English theory, the
muzzle-loaders should be the most su-
periOr in accuracy. IL Is similar
case TO that Of the victory OF the yact [
America over the English yachts, by which
John Bull was taught that the American
sail us fat a a board, would hold the wind
better than the bellying sails used by the
English yachtmen. Nothing but the fact
that the America walked right away" from
their crack yachts before their eyes, would
probably have convinced them that they
could be taught anything in maritime mat
tiers. II would seem that the repeated lessen
OF the supremacy OF the American riiemen
would perhaps cause our cousins across the
water TO overhaul their theory about the su-
periOrity of the English rife.
In the respect OF manliness of bearing, and
good temper under all circumstances, the
British, as represented by their rifle-team,
have nothing to learn from US or from any
people under the sun. The British visitors
have won golden opinions from all in this
country, and everybody, while glad that
they did not quite win, are pleased that they
came so near il.

According TO the New York Sun there is a
w all street sensation over the purchase of
the First National Bank, of that city, by
Jay Cooke & Co. The principal operator in
the purchase IS said TO be III. g. Fahnestock
formerly of this city, and who is said to
nave made great deal of money, notwith-
standing the troubles OF the firm OF Jaw
Cooke Il Co, with which he was connected.
he is described now as a very bold operator,
and as shrewder man than jay Gould.
The cause OF the sensation in Wall street
over the capture OF the First National Bank
by Jay Cooke 3 Co. is said TO be because IL
practically makes that firm members of the
syndicate.

THE CHIPPEwA RATTLE.
A Postponement Of the Issue

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The members
of the Mississippi River Logging company
and the Beef Slough Lumber company
called at the department of Justice
to-day in company with Senator
Windom, to see what could be done In
the way of killing Gov. Pounds order for
the prosecution of the loose-log nuisance In
the Chippewa river. They made very
full statement of their side of the case to
Atty. Gen. Devens the interview lasting
over an hour. The talking was done
principally by Senator Window, and Mr..
Weyerhauser, of Rock Island. Gen.
Devens gave the party additional as
surances to those received by Judge
Humphrey and Col. Ingraham, OF the
Dells company, namely, that no prosecu-
ton should be commenced against the
parties running logs in the Chippewa
during the present spring run. The
former assurance by Gen. Devens was that
no indictments or applications for con-
demnations Of distractions should lie
until the LIST of May. This would fail to
let out good many operators who are late
in getting their logs afloat. The log running
season does not extend much beyond June
lst. The present state of the case is not
Objectionable to either side, and amounts
simply to continuation OF the fight until
after the logging season.
EAmong the Mississippi river ope-
rators directly interested in this
booming legal scramble are Hill,
Lemar u Co., and Sehuelenberg,
Breckler 4 Co., st. Louis; Musser & Co.,
and Herschey Lumber company, Musca,
tine; John L. Davies, Davenport; Weyer-
hauser d Denkman. Rock Island; Keator
q Sons, and Dimock, Gould & CO.,

From the DIrOR SIM

Mr.. J. B. .Danforth, Jr,, editor of THE
Rock ISLAND ARGUS, is now turning the
efforts of his gifted pen to the newspaper
history Of Rock Island county, which is,
the date of the history remembered, con-
tingent 60 saying of the Upper Mississippi.
1t brings out many interesting facts and
throws powerful side light upon the
character aud customs of the early settlers
Of the west To collect material for such
a sketch must have involved arduous
labor, and it will be of inealcuable value
as a record FOR the future. Unfortunately
there appears to be no such thing as public
gratitude, and usually that which is per-
formed for public good, is thankless labor,
Mr.. Danforths effort can find no sufficient
reward from his own people, it must come
to him from a feeling of satisfaction,
arising from an inner consciousness where
duty, and far more than public duty, is
performed.

President Weyerhauser and Mr.. Lamb
left Washington for home tonight. Mr..
Young leaves for New York tomorrow and
will strike Clinton by northern route.
Morton & Youmans will stay here some
days yet. and will probably, before leaving,
file with the department of justice legal
argument, to be prepared by Senator
Window, in favor of multiplying the whole
proceedings instituted by Pound and Judge
Dixon. They have represented TO Gen.
Devens that it is simply a move to run
them out of the Chippewa river; also that
the running of loose logs improves the
navigation of the river by driving out or
smoothing down the distractions, and that
they have vested rights under the state
legislation of 1872 of which the national
government cannot deprive them.

The United States Official Postal
Guide for April is the first number issued
under the new administration, and con-
tains the. names of the new officials, and
somo important acts with reference to
postal matters passed by the last congress.
1t appears that In the early hours Of
March clause was inserted in one of the
bills which partially restores the Thanking
privilege, and the postmaster general has
accordingly issued special circular re-
specting it. This number, which has
400 pages, also contains two alphabetical
lists of all the post Offices in the United
States lone of them arranged alphabet
cally by states for special convenience), a
list of money order offices, full directions
about money orders and registered letters,
rates of domestic and foreign postage,
hours of arrival and closing of mails in
the principal cities, days of sailing of
foreign mail steamers, and salaries of post,
masters in the first, second, and third
class post-ofhces. Not the least valuable
and important contents of the Guide,
each quarter, are the rulings of the post
office department on doubtful or disputed
points which it regularly gives. There
number, relating to such matters as cut
aud mutilated postage-stamps, the discre.
ton Of a postmaster in the delivery of let
tiers, partial and insufficient prepayment
OF postage. postage on exchanges,
cromOs, catalogues, Photographic views,
etc, etc. Among other interesting facts
we learn that postal cards which fail to
find the rarty addressed are not returned
to the dead letter Office, but are burned BY
pOstmasters; also that honey, sugar, and
glass are unavailable Married women,
and aliens who intend to become citizens
are eligible to be postmasters. The Gqtid
is published quarterly by H. o. Hough'or
q Co., Boston, and is the only one author
lied and Endorsed by the post-ofice de
partment. Price, so cents a number
