summary Of Foreign News.

Chicago, July 24.-The English picked
rifle team beat the Americans in target
practice to-day by pretty heavy score,
the first occurrence OF the kind on record.
The cause was largely because of the dis
graceful conduct Of Farrow in refusing to
shoot until the prizes were arranged diff
ferently. The teams are very hot against
him. Rockwell displaced him, but made
only so out of probable rs in 800 yards.
Vaughn had not time to prepare his
sights properly before the shooting be-
gan. The Americans scored 500; Eng
lsh, 5O8; grand total-English, 1,647;
Americans, 1868.
A general lockout is imminent on
Wednesday ut Bolton. Ten thousand
operatives and four millions spindles are
affected. A strike is probable at Old
ham.
Servia is actually preparing to trans
port q vehicle for use in negotiating an
alliance with Bulgaria. Greece will prob
ably call out the reserves shortly.
At the house OF commons last night the
under secretary Of foreign affairs inti-
mated that thorough reform would be de-
manded by the powers from Turkey.
Lawson said he would oppose any war;
like demonstrations against Turkey, and
Labouchere protested against meddling
with the business Of others. Gladstone
applied salve to the feelings of the oppo-
sition, but made no promises rs to his
policy with Turkey. The sultan's naval
authorities declare it would be danger
GUS to try to force the Dardanelles, and
the result would be the loss of large
proportion of the vessels. New fortifica.

Some of the Doctors Predict that it will be
Failure.
New York, July 21.-It is the opinion
of some Of the medical attendants of DR..
Tanner that the faster is reaching q crisis
and that it will be found necessary to
interfere for the protection of his life.
Other physicians, to be sure, scout the
idea, and maintain that he is as we'll as
he was ten days ago, and better than he
was two weeks ago. His weight, which
was ascertained just before he started
out for his drive at 6 o'clock this eve-
ming, was found to be 1885, pounds.
This is loss of one pound in twenty-four
hours. The doctor is said by his watcher
to have rested very we'll on Tuesday
night. He awoke at o'clock and drank
five and half ounces of water before
starting out on his morning drive. He
returned to the hotel Mt o'clock and
read the morning papers. Shortly after
8 o'clock he swallowed three more ounces
of water. He then turned his attention
to his mail, which is daily
becoming more and more volumi-
nous and more idiotic. He retired
early tonight. HIS mind seems
to be perfectly clear. At times there is

hesitancy in his speech, as if the effort
of moving his pinched and drawn lips
was too great for him. The hesltancy is
not apparently in any way due to any
sluggishness Of his mental faculties. He
is, however, capricions in regard to con-
versation. A long interval Of moody 81
lence will be followed by earnest and
even rapid conversation.
Professor Frank H. Hamilton, OF the
New York academy of medicine, does not
think much of DIR. Tanners starving ex-
pertinent. He says:
"In my opinion the experiment is
worth no more than would be an expert
ment to prove that man could eat n
bushel of potatoes or drink gallon of
brandy per day and live, or that he could
swallow peck of jack-knives with i'm
punity, nor is it less reprehensible. It is
barbarous public exhibition, never in
tended to be made for purely scientific
purposes,and made apparently for the sole
purpose of proving that DIR. Hammond
had made IN incorrect statement, and to
vindicate. the character of Mollie Fan
cher, and it will do neither. twill prove
nothing except that the public can be
fascinated and attracted by cruel and
barbarous spectacle, and if Mr.. Bergh
permits it to go on without even pro-
test he ought to cease his war on vivisec-
tion.
'The truth is," continued the profess
'sor, "that too much dignity has been
given to this affair under the pretense
that it involved important questions Of
science. The success or failure Of the
experiment involves no question of sci
ence that has not been settled long ago
and Thousand times. Dogs and cats
without number have been sacrificed to
these experiments, and men have starved
themselves and been starved by the
millions, and are still starving by the
millions, and there has been no lack OF
opportunity to know how men look and
act when they are dying of starvation.
And if it is OF any Importance to know
exactly how long man may live with
out eating, DIR. Tanner does not offer to
settle it, for he does not propose to die.
And if he were sgenerous enough to do
this some day it would not settle the
question whether You or would die on
the same day or in the same length of
time, and that is all we want to know"

At the gun fire for lunch to-day the

commenced shooting at $50 o'clock,
when very light breeze was blowing.
Rockwell shoots in place of Farrow, who
has dispute about the choice of the
prize in the tie for the third series of
extra prizes. Although Hyde consented
to let him have what he wanted, he re-
fused to shoot unless Hyde gave him a
guarantee in writing that he would have
the choice. The team therefore unani-
mously excluded him.
