Why They Did Not Accent.

NEW YORK, June l.-General vingate,
President Of the National Ride Astocia-
tion, was asked this morning why the
British Rife Association did not accept
the American Associations challenge to
shoot a military rife match.
"The reason they did not" said the
General, "I learned from Commissary
Oliver, of the Twenty-third regiment,
who took personal letter from me to
Sir John Halpin. That gentleman said
it was due TO the extremely hard times
there; and the political struggle now
going on takes away all interest IN the
match, and would make 1t too hazardous
a risk to undertake"
This makes the third refusal on the
part of the British rifcmen to accept the
American challenge TO shoot since the
last meeting.

CHICAGO, June 4.-The Canadian steam
barge Nipigon arrived here yesterday in a
sinking condition, and under circum.

crew were completely worn out by excess

ready to give up the fight to keep the yes

stone at Vert island, Lake Superior.
While proceeding toward Sault St Marie

she began toleak. Captain Conlon, wish
ing to get to Chicago with all possible
haste, did not stop at Mackinaw or She.
boygan, as the law requires, 10 report the
entrance of his vessel into American
waters. He says he did not want to risk
the chance of delay, however slight,
because his vessel was In altogether too
bad plight, and the lives of his crew
might have been endangered.
The law says that foreign vessel
about TO enter American waters must re-
port the fact to the collector OF the first
United States port on her route and ob.
tain from him permission to continue the
trlp. The penalty for violation of the
statute Is nothing less than forfeiture Of
the vessel and cargo. Yesterday the cap.
tain called upon Collector Seeberger, TO
whom he related the story of his vessels
condition, and the necessity of reaching
Chicago or some other port where there
Is dry dock without delay. Under Col
lector Sceberger's advice Captain Conlan
prepared a statement Of the facts and for.
warded it to the Treasury Department.
Until Collector Seeberger hears from

AN lMPASSABlE BARRIER.
Tactics of strikers Wives and Children In
Chicago to Prevent the Movement OF
Trains.


Trains.
CHICAGO, June 5.-At ten O'Clock yes
terday morning an engine Of the r. T. road
was sent to Cummings to attempt to move
the four cars loaded with rails made by
new men. The removal was prevented by
the wives and families of former employees,
assembled around the terminus of the
railroad tracks. When the engine ap'
preached there was a rush to where the
loaded cars were standing. Mothers
grouped their little ones along the
track some distance ahead of the first
freight car, and packed them according
TO age along the rails, the youngest to-
ward the approaching engine, the moth
ers and grown-up daughters taking the
rear. The engineer seeing the living,
breathing obstacle on the track, reversed
and returned to South Chicago.
Then the women dispersed, and on
their return icered and abused the rep
rescntatiyes OF the company at the nall
works gate, calling them most oppro-
brious names, the police by their pres
ence only preventing the inIcuon OF
violence by the iniuriated women.
At two o'clock, when the engine ap-
peared again, fully two thousand women
and children were thron2ng the tracks,
and apparently as determined as before.
Sixty police from Hyde Park had come
| down in the meantime. The women,
| feeling sure they would not be dubbed,
refused 10 move, or moved very slowly
when told to do so, and closed up again
on the tracks, unless absolutely held back
| By the officers. For some time great ex-
element prevailed. The police finally
succeeded 10 getting the women away
from the tracks without resorting to
harsh measures, but the attempt to move
the cars was abandoned. More OF the
same kind of trouble is expected to-day
