INTERROGATION POINT.
Ii Hung Chang Puts in the Day Asking Qgestlors Interview With Secre-
 tary CarlisIe-The Banquet.

Washington. Sept. 4.-Li Hung Chang is making good use of his time while in Washington Before o'clock this morn ing he was on his way to visit the capi- tol. incidentally taking a glance of the outside of the interior and postoffice de- partments and the pension office.
 The capitol is undergoing renovation, but the Chinese viceroy took great in terest in all he saw and kept up fire of questions upon his official entertainers, General Ruger and John W. Foster.
 After visiting the capitol the visitor was driven direct to the Chinese lega- tion. where the time until 8 o'clock was spent in business conference, lunch and rest
 At that hour the viceroy had an en- gagement to visit the Washington mon- ument. but on the way to the monument Ex-seeretary Foster took the Chinaman to call on Secretary Carlisle This call upset the remainder of the days pro- gramme.
 The viceroy spent over an hour in a discussion of finance and the tariff with Secretary Carlisle. He was amazed and gratified with the secretary's knowledge of the Chinese system and the firm grasp and clear perception he had of subjects that had puzzled China's chief thinkers. China contemp1ates a change in her tar- if system, which is now anything but uniform. Secretary Carlisle had a copy of the present Chinese customs schedules before him and the two distinguished financiers went closely into the details of the matter. When the discussion had continued until 4:30 o'clock, the viceroy catered his carriage and drove to Sec retary Lamont's, where he left his cards,

GEORGIA LOST BY 3 POINTS.
Dolan of New York Is the Champion Ri1eman The Wimbledon Cup Match
 Will Be Shot Today.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. 4.-By three points only New York won today the presidents match, deciding the military championship of the United States. and Sergeant Dolan of the Twelfth New York .is the rifleman to whom all the credit is due. He was hard pressed for first place by Private Austin of the First infantry, Georgia Volunteers. The match was one of the most exciting that has taken place on the grounds of the New Jersey Rifle association. It was not the prize of $50 in cash that induced thirty-two of the best rifle shots in the country to enter, but the hope of winning the champion ship of the United States was what they were after. The first stage of the match was confined to the 200 and 300 yard ranges. The five having the best scores were alone qualified to enter the second stage, where the shooting was done on the 800 and 500 yard targets The sue cessful ones were Lieutenant Wilson and Private Austin of Georgia, Lieutenant Young of company A, engineers corps of the District of Columbia, and Ser geants Huddleson and Dolan of the Twelfth New York.
 Wilson made the high score of 92 points out of possible 100 on the two short ranges. This score however, did not count on the last stage. On the 300 range Wilson, Austin, Dolan and Huddle- son each made AZ out of a possible 50, while Young fell far short of eXpecta- tions with 30. This small score did not deter him from trying his luck on the longest range, although it was plain to be seen he had no chance of winning When the five men went to the butts to shoot the final round excitement was at fever heat. It was expected by the southerners that Wilson would win, as he is considered to be the best all-round shot on the ranges, but for some reason or other he shot poorly and retired with only 39, or total of S6 in the last stage. With Wilson out of it the Georgians pinned their faith and hopes on Private Allen. A "3' in his score, however, put him behind. Dolan took his time in shooting and could not be rattled. He tried to make clean score of 50, but was unsuccessful and the best he could do was 45. This put him points ahead of Austin, however, and the match was his. The following is the score of the five contestants on the several ranges:

Failure of the First National Bank of
 Helena Was Expected

Helena, Mont, Sept. 1.-The failure of the First National bank of this city was announced this morning by the posting of a notice that the bank was unable to meet withdrawals demanded of 1t. The notice was signed by B. D. Edgerton, vice president and manager, who says creditors will be paid in full. The direct ors refuse to talk and no statement of assets and liabilities has been made. It is said the failure is due to the banks inability to realize it's assets to cover de- mands of eastern creditors. The banks capital and surplus is $1 .0000 900, and it is the United States depository, with large United States funds on hand. Its officers are T. Hauser, president E. D. Edger- ton, vice president and general manager, and George Hill, assistant cashier. Its directors are among the strongest men in Helena. The failure was not a surprise to all, for it was current talk on the streets last night that it would not open today.
 The A. J. Davis estate, famous for the litigation over the millions left by Davis, owns 55 per cent of the capital, and it was claimed here last night that young Davis, whose possession of the stock was a few weeks ago allowed by the claimants after long fight was coming from Butte with the cash to tide the bank over. Davis came, but the bank did not open.

SUPPLEMENTAL POLITICAL.

 MT. Bryans Washington Date.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 1.-The democratic executive committee in session at Mis- soula and the populist convention this afternoon completed the nomination of fusion presidential and state tickets. By the terms of the agreement the demo- crats were given the congressman, and by a vote of PTS to 132 the convention de- cided to make no nomination, which is a practical indorsement of Congressman Hartman, the republican who bolted the St. Louis convention with Senator Teller. The populists were given the governor, and nominated Hon. Robert B. Smith of Helena. They were also given a Watson elector. The remainder of a full state ticket was equally divided between the two parties

First Stage
Second Stage.

DOlan was given three hearty cheers by the Twelfth boys. It was suggested that Dolan challenge the champion 700 yard shot of Europe and try to arrange match, but it is hard to tell whether or not the suggestion will be put into eff feet.
 Although Georgia would have been de- lighted to have won the presidents match, she cannot complain, as that state will carry off the bulk of the events. Capt. George T. Cam of Geor- gia is an almost certain winner of the Hayes medal, which was captured last year by Corporal George E. Cook of Washington.
 On the two long ranges this afternoon in competition for the medal Captain Cam made clean score of 70. This re- quired fourteen consecutive bulls eyes. He made two more, but these were not counted, as they were sighting shots. It is not likely that any one will equal this score. Lieutenant Wilson, also of Geor- gia, looks like lucky contestant in the all-comers military match, and he has more than a fair chance of winning the Sumner match, the prize in which is $50 presented by Lieut. Sumner Paine of the First infantry, Massa chusetts volun- teerS.
 In the Trenton interstate fair match another Georgian likely to be winner is Private c. s. Richmond of the First regiment cavalry, who has the highest

Dillon for Unity.

Dublin, Sept. 1.-The Irish National League of Great Britain held meeting here today and elected Patrick A. Me- Hugh, member of parliament for the north division of Leitram, a Dillonite, as vice chairman in place of Timothy D.. Sullivan, member of parliament for West Donegal, whom as Healyite the meet ing refused to re-elect.
 MT Dillon said he would rather lead a party of fifty, the members of which were united, than one of seventy, each one of whom was flying at the throats of his fellow members.
 The past of any one coming into the party and promising to work faithfully in accord with it would be obliterated, MT. Dillon said, but so long as he re- mained leader he should insist upon the members adhering to the old doctrine of party unity
