WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Near this city to-

quently been utilized as targets in trap
shooting, and that they served the purpose
excellently. The experiment tomorrow,
however, will be the first in this section.
In speaking of the matter gentleman who
has shot them in trap shooting said: "The
English sparrow makes an excellent substi-
tute for both the live and clay pigeon in
every respect. He is very active, rapid
flyer, and invariably flies away from the
shooter. In the latter respect he differs
widely from the domestic pigeon, which
very often flies toward the shooter. Another
very strong reason for the substitution of
the English sparrow as target is that he is
small, thereby insuring better marksnan-
ship in the end. AS the bird is a regular
nuisance, his destruction would really be in
the nature of a lasting benefit to the coun-'

LONDON, Feb. PA movement is on
foot among shipping men which will prob
ably have hi ghly important results. A COM
mittee of the Shipping Federation, which
aims to break up the Seamen's and other
allied unions, is on the point of completing
a gigantic, long-proiected scheme for the
absorption of all the industries connected
with shipping The committees oyertures
have met with marked success.
They have found that numerous employers
of labor in different branches of the ship
ping industry are anxious to be rid of the
pretty irlsome condition, owing to which
they find themselves greatly under the
mems thumbs. Tynside and Wesrside ship
pers are chafing under the Continual strikes
going on among the workmen they employ,
on account of which in many cases they
have been obliged to refuse long contracts
for fear thev would be forced to break them.
These apprehensive shipbuilders are giving
the committee their fullest support.
1t is tacitly understood that when the de-
tails of the desired cooperation are finally
settled, the Shipping Federation will throw
of the mask and declare war which shall
decide the question of supremacy between
the unions and the employers Nearly all
the employing firms engaged in the Thames
shipping trade have applied for admittance
to the organization, while the Federation's y

about Pfefer's case, and said he was no
longer taking any interest in the active af-
fairs of the team. He thinks the Chicago

far as condition goes goes: He will weigh about l54 or
