CREEDMOOR.
First Day of the Interna tional
Contest.
The American and English Teams Are
Far Ahead of Last Years Score.
The British Team Behind at Each Of the
Ranges.

Creedmoor, Sept. 13.--At IL O'Clock
the signal gun announced the time for
the opening of the International match
between the British and American
teams. The Americans Immediately
left their quarters for the firing point,
and were soon followed by the British
team. The Americans won the choice
for targets and selected X and W, leav-
ing 1 and x for their opponents. To-
morrow these positions will be reversed.
There were at least two thousand
spectators present at the opening of the
match, and this number was constantly
increased by the rapidly arriving pri-
vate coaches and crowded public hacks.
The sky was very much overcast but
experts agreed that the conditions
taken altogether were favorable for
high scores. There was scarcely q
breath of wind stirring, and such little
puffs as occasionally played with the
many-colored streamers that fioated
over the tents blew across the range
from left to right.
There was no open betting on the
ground, but the general sentiment ia
vored the Americans, although the
British team had many hopeful ad-
mirers on the scene. One private wa
ger was made of 5000 to $50 in favor
of the Americans.
A Atelephone connects the targets with
the firing points. Ropes stretched from
stakes enclose the teams with their
respective firing points. Along the
line behind the firing points are large
blackboards for recording the score.
N. P. Stanton, of the National Rifle
Association, formally opened the match
with short speech, and the warning
of guns over the hum of voices was fol-
lowed by a moment of breathless ST.
lence. The sharp crack of rifle then
rang out, and Gen. Dakin had fired his
first and the opening shot of the great
International match. He made good
centre, scoring A; Jackson followed,
making bull's-eye, counting five, at
which there was buzz of admiration;
Hyde followed with a centre, and Allen
with an inner, scoring3.
Rigby opened for the British team
and made bull's-eye, and was followed
by Halford, who scored good centre.
Humphrey, of the British team, made
the first miss of the match.
The Americans shoot in business
like manner, and there is very little
talking among them save in the direc-
tion of coachers. They lie down and
fire quickly. The British change their
positions often and are a long time in
sighting the targets. They do not load
as fast as the home team. On the
American side Of the range the crack
of the rifle was almost incessant, one
shot following another as if from re-
volver. The British were more delibe-
rate, but their care did not bring them
as much success as the rapid firing of
the Americans.
The following figures show the totals
of the members Of the British and
American teams at the three ranges
800, 900 and 1000 yards:

DEFINITE information as to the fate
Of men reported lost on what are known
as the Staked Plains has been received.
The New York Tribune publishes a
letter from Lieutenant Charles L.
Cooper relating the adventures of the
thirty-one men reported killed by
Indians. They were four days with
out water, and four men and twenty
seven horses died from thirst. The
officers finally reached Double Lake,
where they found six men of their
command. These started with filled
canteens to bring up the famishing
men, and all alive at that time were
brought in. The story of the suf-
ierings and rescue of the men forms
thrilling chapter in the history of
border warfare.

Washington, Sept. ia letter from

and the attack made upon the county
jail by a mob. The judge cautioned
the grand jury that for the honor of the
county and the state, they must inves-
tigate thoroughly all the circumstances
and perform their duties conscien-
tiously, impartially and fearlessly.

THERE is q sudden revival of the old
rumor that Indian Commissioner Smith
is to be retired from that bureau, and
sent abroad in the consular service. 1t
will be remembered that some time
since the president appointed North
Carolina man to succeed Smith, but
Secretary Schurz made objection and
the appointment was never confirmed
BY the Interior Department. The pres
ent rumor states that Schurz himself
will appoint the new commissioner,
and that he viii ignore the presidents
pledge to the Carolinian, giving the
Office to General Francis A. Walker,
formerly census commissioner.

Col. THOMAS A. SCOTT, of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, has made
wholesale discharge of engineers,
hremen and brakemen employed on the
Tyrone Division, for participating in
the late strike. The action created
much excitement in all the departments
Of the road, and, as further and more
extensive discharges are threatened
upon all lines Of the road, it is feared
that some of the employees will rebel
against the movement. This action of
Scott is in direct violation of all his
promises.

The President Visits the Sick Statesman.
Richmond, Ind, Sept. 4.-Upon the
arrival Of the Presidential party this
morning they were driven to the resi-
dence of Ex-Gov. Burbank, where
Senator Morton is lying i'll. The Pres

order of the physician no one was
present at the interview, which only
lasted few minutes. The President
was deeply affected upon beholding the
condition of the Senator. He found
him, however, much better than he
expected, and DIR. Thompson says the
improvement in the Senator's condi-
tion has been very marked for two
days. 10
Gen. Butler, in passing through
Richmond, en- route to Chicago, stopped
over for a few minutes to call upon
Senator Morton.
There was no public reception of the
President at Richmond, although thou
sands of people had gathered along the
streets and followed him to the depot
as he was returning to the train.
The Presidential party returned to
Dayton at II O'Clock, where the Presi-
dent was joined by Mrs. Hayes, and
Immediately left for Fremont to be

what possible reason can be
shown for it in the public ser

but solely for the reason that he
is avowedly in the interest of

to the Territory. The importance of this
enterprise to the Territory can not be over

are familiar with the history which he pre-
cisely recites. such questions as the fol
lowing constantly present themselves:
Will an extension Of ten years more to

Should, however, the Compa-
ny refuse to prosecute the work
under those conditions, the land
grant shall be transferred to the
Territory, or to some other Com
pany which will complete the
work. And 1 feel assured that
with the land grant as an aid,
there is sufficient ability and en-
terprise within our own Terrific
ry to construct the road within
any reasonable time which may
be prescribed by Congress.
This very important subject
is submitted to your considera-
ton, with the suggestion that
Congress be memorialized, and
the delegate from the Territory
be instructed, in relation thereto.
