THE CONCORD AFFAIR.
1t h Believed Commodore Craig VIII Get
 His Men Back or Have Blood.

His Men Back or Have Blood.
 wAsHrNGToS, Feb 5-The report of the capture of some of the officers of the gunboat Concord by Chinese at Chin- kiang. growing out of the accidental kill ing of ChinaInan, has not been officially confirmed, but gives rise t0 grave concern at the navy department
 It is felt at the state department that the officers of the Concord showed very bad judgment in indulGing their desire for sport whi' c the country is SO disturbed and the natj' eS arc so len;ous of the pres ence of fo'U. ac9s. 1t is not believed. how ever. that ib" arty is in great danger if the comman,,er of tEe Concord shows pru- denco in dta. az tn the case
 A prCmirctt naval officer said, "Com- mander Graf. will not reru:t until he has recovered h.s mln, and Ee will have them Or blood if know him, and do
 NEw ToRk, Feb. 5.-Commander Jo- Eeph E. Craig, in command Of the Con- cord at Chin kianG. China, is regarded by navy officials as the right man in the right place. There is Q chance of international difficulties. owing to the seizure by mob of party Ot American officers who acci- dentally killed a Chipnman while hunting near Chin kiang.
 At the navy yard there are two widely different opinions Some believe that the Cinnamon, in their present state Of excite mont and chagrin at continuous defeats, would deal cruelty with any foreigner in their hands. especially if he had killed . native even by accident. Others think the dread uf foreign warships is great enough to protect the Concord's officers from violence.
 Lieutenant Babcock said in regard to this: The reople about Chin-Kiang live largely in hoats. They swarm about the river banks. There is plenty of Eoud shoot ing. and the chances of accident arc many. It Is not difficult to raise q mob D a very short time in China. These Ch,2ese arc IS cruel as wild beasts but Just ,::-- afraid of 0 gun. Since the French sailed intoa Chi nese harbor with Celestial pirates dan gling at the yardarms the natives have been scared by the very sight of foreign man of war
 II do not feel that tho Concord s officers are in any al danger. for the life of a Chinaman is held cheap, and the grief of his bereaved rcla, ives can easily be assuag- ed by the payment of little money. A hundred dollars is fortune for them The killing of Chinese by foreign sports | men is nOt an unusual occurrence. Of | course such incidents cause a stir, Eut all the revenge wanted is money from the un- | fortunate shooter

THE MONUMENT. hidden by jun gle of weeds The scene of the famous battle Is four miles below New Orleans and is beneath the level of the MiEsiG- sippi. which is only prevented from in- undating it by the great levee near by. Street cars run to within M miles of the spot, and the patriotic tourist muSt then push on through boss and Eu0 puddles the remainder of the distance to the dilapidated monument.
 The memorable spot is so overgrown with weeds and has about it such an air of neglect that it seems forgotten by all the world. About ton years ago the monument was struck by lightning and its marble top knocked off The brick foundation is now moldering away. and between the bricks luxuriant weeds are growing. The anniversary of the battle is celebrated every year by the people of New Orleans and by Andrew Jackson clubs all over the country. and it seems unfortunate that some of the surplus patriotism is not devoted to keeping the Chalmette monument ill repair. The subject has been brought to tho atten- tion of the Daughters of the Revolution, who will endeavor to have the monu- ment placed ill better condition.
 Near at hand is the Chalmette na- tional cemetery, where l2, J21 graves of soldiers mark "the bivouac of the dead" Nearly 1000 are the graves of the gallant British soldiers who were moved down ill p minutes by the hail of death from Jackson's batteries and Tennessee sharpshooters. The others are soldiers who fell in the war of the re- ! bellion.

THE EXPLOSION AT BUTTE.

The explosion at Butte, Mon, with . terrible loss of life. would not have hap pened if ths law against storing powder in a warehouse had not been violated. Syracuse Post
 Tho frightful accident a: Butte, Mon, by which nearly the entire fire department of the city was annihilated, Is without precedent. yet 1t affords only an extreme illustration of perils which are daily faced by hremen. Boston Journal
 Tho explosion which killed nearly the whole fire department of Butte, Mon., was the result of violating a city ordi- nance for the sake of business conven- fence. It may not be impsrtinsnt or uss- less to inquire how many business men in other cities are violating siMilar srai- nAAsss.-Nsw Ysrk Woria.

one of the cracks and has won more sweepstakes and cups than half dozen of them together. His form has gone of somewhat during the last year, owing probably to the cares and anxietics en- tailed by the settlement of his fathers estate.
 When ready for business, he leans for ward somewhat toward the traps, his left arm extended straight, his right elbow even with the ear Unlike all the other cracks, Fred Hocy shuts his left eye as he sights, the others shooting with both eyes open. He hasn't the samo command of timo ns George Work, nor is he so quick with his first barrel, but his aim is aston ishingly rapid and unerring and his nerve usually steady to the end. His hest score is 97 out of a possible 100, made at tho Westminster club in tho famous four handed match, when Hoey and Thompson shot against Work and Macalester. He neither drinks nor smokes and uses a hammCrlcss gun.
 Another great amateur shot is George Work, who dCYOtcS most of his time to the joys of pigeon shooting, and whoso score of 9s killed out of n possible 100, made at Carteret against Captain Brewer, the pro fessional, is tho amateur record to date George Work is tho only son of Mir. Frank Work and has been devoted to athletic sports ever since he was big enough to hold up his hands He is fine sparrCr, a thor oughgoing yachtsman and in his day one of the best stecplcchaso riders in tho coun. try, says the New York Herald. It is only within three years that ho has devoted much time to pigeon shooting, although he has always been fine pigeon shot. He is now 35 years old, feet II inches tall, weight about 175 pounds, of perfectly pro portioned physique, a smooth face, clearly cut features, a moderate smoker, but total abstainer from spirits.
 He is called the Beau Brummel of the traps, because he usually shoots in his ov- eryday clothes, which are marvcls of the tailcr's art. Of late he has been changing his coat for norfolk jacket, as worn in the accompanying picture Works great strength lies in his ability to change his time according to wind and the quality of his birds. He has at least three distinct times, which he uses at will. When shoot ing his fastest, ho is quicker with his first than any other man in the country. His attitude Is the perfection of ease and grace, his feet rathcr close. body erect, his loft

He Is Slight and Boyish In Appearance

 Killed Ninety-eiGht Pigeons Out of One
 I-undrcd, Which Is the Amateur Record.
 One of the greatest amateur wing shots of America is Fred Hoey, who recently added to his fame by dividing first and second stakes in tho Prix de Diane with M. To nt Monto Carlo, the worlds great est resort for pigeon shooters. In this con test MT. Hoey met 52 of the best marks men of Europe and tied for first place, Q feat that stamps him as belonging in the very first rank of the worlds wing shots. Five years ago Fred Hoey had never had a gun in his hand except to regard 1t with curiosity. Today he is universally conced- ed to be the best sweepstake shot in tho country. He is not so reliable in n match
 Shooting pigeons came to him like a revelation. In one season he had developed form that comes to most men only after long and arduous work. He has never shot in the field, and the habits and chase of the game bird nre an unwritten book to him. He is simply pigeon shooting ma chine developed to the highest state of perfection. He is the youngest son of the late John HOey, the express magnate, is 30 years old, tall, slight and boyish in ap- pearance and is n great dandy at the traps, though lately he has taken to an elaborate cardigan jacket and slouch hat
 His career a5 a shot for the last three years is remarkable. He has beaten every
