FUSILADE AT THE TARGETS.
The final arrangements for the practice
were not completed until about 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon, at which time there was
a fusilade at the 200 yard targets which
had not been heard in that neighborhood
since the days of Bull Run. Each target is
series of targets, so that twenty-five or
thirty men could be engaged at one time.
The firing yesterday was only at 200,
500, and COO ranges, and, considering the
fact that the boys have done no shooting
of this kind since the last competition,
with the exception of little recently
at Marshall Hall, the results of the prac-
tice were highly satisfactory.
On Thursday and Saturday next Major
Harries will count for averages, and from
the whole record he will select the team.
On those days especially there will be some
interesting firing and close figuring

calm and bright, and no allowances had
to be made

from right to left over the field, which
taxed the good heads" of the men in
shifting and allowing for the wind gauges.
There was also a good deal of drop shots
as the evening closed in, the usual result
in the dusk.

The State Department received an ofrl-
cial report yesterday abont the tragic death
in Scotland of young Dana Davenport, Of
AnacoStja 1t was from Allen b. Morse,
the United States consul at Gla sgow who
has been criticised for his failure TO report
the matter more promptly.
Young Davenport was discovered, bleed
ing and disabled. on July 20. He died at
the Royal InfIrmatory in Glasgow the
next day, and it i 5 probable that the
local newspaper reports of his death were
not published until the 22i or 23d. Mr..
Morse's report to the department Is dated
July 26, and is as follows:

A number Ol addresses We're round upon

MISSISSIPPI IS FOR SILVER
No Man Not Welded to 1t Has Any
Show For Office.
Ex-Governor Sims Talks About the
Quadrangular Fight In His State
for the Senntorship

Governor Sims, first assistant Secretary
Of the Interior, has returned TO Washington
from Mississippi, where he went several
weeks ago to take part in the Senatorial
contest now being waged in that State
with much visOr. He espoused the sound
money side of the controversy and made
a number of speeches..
Regarding the outlook of a successor to
Senator George, who retires voluntarily
at the end OF his present term, Governor
Sims said that it was a hard matter to de-
termine who Of the four silver candidates
had the best show They were ex- Governor
Lowrey. ex-Cougressnian Hooker and Con
gresham Money and-John Allen, OF Tupelo.
Governor Stone, he said, was the only
gold candidate, and in this instance one
was just one too many as gold ma has
no show III Mississippi, the great majority
coinage Of silver
For awhile, he said; IL looked a if Rep
resentative Money would win the fight,
but things changed and John \ Hen loomed
up prominently. Ex-Goy. Lowrey was also
making au active campaign. Gen. Hooker,
however, had taken but little part in the
contest so far, haviugmade butfew speeches,
while the others had stalked considerably:
stili, there was a sentiment prevailing in
certain sections which was very favorable
To Gen. Hooker.
What the outcome would be could not
he determined until the legislature met
in January, when he thought matters would
be il tangled condition and any result
would not be surprising. There was a
slight possibility of The fight becoming 50
stubborn that Senator George might be
called upon TO settle 1be matter by permit
ting himself to become his own successor;
yet there was 10 great probability OF it.
To show the hold that silver has upon
the people Of Mississippi Gov Sims said
that persons running for all offices, no
matter how small aud inferior, such as
constable aud town marshals, are com
PEELED to declare openly that they favor
silver.
