RIFLE SHOOTING.

The National Association Issue Call for
an International Match at Creedmoor.
New YORK, April AT meeting, to-day, of
the National Rifle association, the following
resolutions were adopted:
RESOLVED, That for the purpose of developing
public interest in rifle shooting with military
weapons, an international rifle match be an
nounced to take place at the annual prize
meeting of this association, to be held at
Creedmoor in September next, to be open to all
teams from each of the States of the Union
the provinces of Canada, the kingdom of Great
Britain, and from all other countries; each
country having national guard or military or
ganization distinct from it's regular army, to
be entitled to send q separate team to represent
each.
The other resolutions looked to the appoint
ment of q committee to decide upon the con-
ditions of the match, and to confer with
foreign rihemen and those of other States. A
resolution was also adopted that the annual
convention of ridemen be held at Creedmoor,
Friday, May Oath, for the purpose of organize
ton. The secretary was directed to notify all

FOREIGN GRAIN MARKErs.
Russia and America in Active Competition
but Prices Slightly Advanced by the War
News.
LONDON. April 1.-THE Mark Lane Express
says reports concerning the wheat plant from
all parts of the kingdom continue satisfactory.
The country trade is steady but not active.
The provincial markets are scantily supplied
with home grown grain. Imports of foreign
wheat into London have been liberal. The
pressure to sell American wheat brought about
slight reduction in the value of this class Of
grain. Russia is anxious to dispose
of her produce, ~and with her and
| America competing it is difficult
to see whence the trade is to derive strength to
| enable prices to hold up. India may be disre-
garded for q time, as she cannot ship much
wheat until the new crop is gathered but Ger
many has been steadily exporting to this coun-
! try.
Politics have once more monopolized the en-.
tire attention of trade. With fair arrivals al
posts of call, floating cargo trade for wheat il
| firm, and, owing to the more unsettled state 81
political matters, prices have advanced two o,
three shillings per quarter. The continental
demand continues. Maize improved nine pence
to shilling per quarter. Barley ruled firm
| at sixpence per quarter advance.

CHICAGO, April 2, Midnight.-At this hour
few wards have sent in full returns, but from
what is received, it Is evident that the council
will lose some of its best members, and their
places be supplied with less creditable selec-
tions. Out of eighteen wards, fifteen have
been heard from, with sufficient
completeness to base an opinion upon these.
1t seems that nine Democrats, five Republicans
and one communist have been elected. From
the towns the returns are even less decisive.
It is, however. pretty certain the Republicans
have elected their ticket in the south town and
the prospects favor Republican victory in the
north town, while the west town is in doubt
erably disappointed at the result of the cleo
ton of the council.

A vExED QUESTION.

The firemen OF the Sixth District come up
anon with new propositions to enable them to
establish complete fire alarm system in
their part Of the city. All the propositions
however, have the same defect. In their
operation they involve q preference Of pay
nlent in their favor over the other creditors Of
the city, which Mayor Pilsbury again
says cannot be admitted. In every case
the terms Of the Sixth District fire depart
ment have been exceedingly liberal, and
the rights Of the citizens Of this populo1s and
extensive district are recognized but nnfor-
tunately no plan has yet been proposed that
will not involve the city in litigation should the
authorities attempt to (practicalyl pay the
fire department Of the district in cash for
months during which their proportion Of the
taxes have not come in at the City Hall. We
have been led to refer to this subject owing to
the statement In one OF our city papers to the
effect that the amounts due to The Sixth Dis
tTict fire department have the character Of o
preference claim. which is apt to mislead the
firemen and the inhabitants of the district
mentioned.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
A MIXED UP AFFAIR.

Administrator McCaffrey proposes TO make
demand upon the purchasers of the Canal
Street, Lake and Park railroad. in order TINT
Bienville and Custo1nlouss streets. along
which the road is laid. shall be put In trave,l-
ling order. In constructing the railroad the
original company has cut up portions of the
streets named, and has left them in an almost
impossible condition. There seems to have
been great neglect on the part of the city au-
thsaities at tho time in making the company
comply with their contract to replace the
streets IN travelling order. and this is what
Mr. MeCaf7rey is endeavoring to remedy.
We understand, however, that he will find
serious difficulties in the way Of accomplish
Ing the good he is aiming at. 1t Is true that
the original company were, by the terms OF
their charter, in duty bound to replace the
streets along which their tracks were to be
iaid In the same order in which they found
them. But the company has gone into bank
rt1ptcy, the road has been sold to other per-
sent owners are bound for the obligations OF
the original company in SO far as replacing
the streets in an available condition.
Mayor Pilsbury is unable TO determine the
question, and in order TO secure the city
against the otherwise inevitable expense Of
repairing Bienville and Customhous streets,
he will take steps to intervene In the bank
ruptcy suit with claim against the original
railroad company. The purchase price Of the
States court, will probably have to be Sc.
anestered to this effect. The prospects are
that it will be O much mixed up affair, and il
the city ever gets o cent for the repairing ol
the streets referred to 1t ought to be GOnsid-
cred in very good luck.

SILVER.
senator Matthews en- the Effort to Make
n Compromise silver Dollar.
[Cipoinnati Oazette.l


WASHINGTON, Jan. Stanley Matthews,
referring to the proposed effort to make q
compromises on the silver bill by uniting ON @
silver dollar of 420 grains, says ri am most
certain that the amendment reported from the
COMMITTEES on Finance. giving the govern
ment the benefit of the coinage, together with
the limitation of monthly coinage to not more
than "a 600 nor less than $4,000, 900 will be
adopted. As to compromise being made on
lar. that is scarcely possible. Pro-
positions to uni te on silver dol
lar OF 420 grains have been made.
Those who are opposed to remoneti-
zation, seeing that the passage of the silver
bill is inevitable, have shown o willingness to
unite on q silver dollar which shall contain
enough grains OF silver to make 1t an eguiva-
lent for gold. None of them have specified
the exact number of grains they desire to
compose the compromise dollar. Mr.. Blaines
bill is d public proposition OF the kind last
mentioned Mr.. Blaine is opposed to the crea-
tion of any silver dollar which discriminates
in the slightest between the bond-owner and
the government, In this respect agree per-
fectly with Mr.. Blaine. Like other gentlemen
in public life who have a future before them,
suppose Mr.. Blaine looks forward to the effect
of this silver Legislation on his party
"An immense majority Of voters have sig
nified their desire for the reconciliation Of
silver. To thwart the will Of these voters
would create a tremendous opposition toward
the party which robbed them of their desires.
Should a veto defeat the silver bill, the Demo-
cratic party in the West, South and South
west with possibly the exception Of New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey, would go into
the next presidential campaign with political
capital of the defeat of the popular voice, and
would march to victory with an overwhelm-
ing maiOrity.'

though stating that he was in that city, do
not assert that any one has seen him, and oil
reference to his presence is Of the most in

the dash made by Sheriff Houston on the

right direction, and was warm upon the trail

at the Rgolets, and left only short time be-
fore the sheriff reached that point, Wells
