GOOD SPRING SHOOTING
Ducks and snips A#ording the Gunner,
Good Sport.
Points About PROPER Decoys - Con-
signment OF Quhils for Breeding
PurpOses-Jack Rabbits.

Early spring shooting at ducks and snlpe
is fairly good this season, and on the
marshes and low-lying meadows in this
latitude the snipe are to be found in re-
muneratfve numbers and fine condition. A
good many have been killed on Mayhem S
meadows and all along Northwest branch.
While out after snipe Thursday, above Ben
ming bridge, Mr.. Lemuel Ready killed three
ducks. One was a high diver and one a
white water witch, but Mr.. Ready could
not fix the variety of the other. He cut
off its head and saved it, however, and
upon showing 1t to his brother-in-law,
Uncle Billy" Wagner, the latter promptly
pronounced it a female canvasback. This
is the first recorded kill of a canvasback
above Benning bridge in twenty years.
Mr. Wagner received note Saturday
from Mr.. William w. Boarman, the we'll
known lawyer, who is an experienced
sportsman, that will be doubtless found
valuable by those going duck hunting. Mr..
Boarman wrote as follows:
Marshall and myself killed twenty-three
blackheads at Colonel Walters Wednesday.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE.
Work of Installing Underground
system on Suburban Road.

Good progress is being made in the work
of putting in the underground electric sys-
tenn on the City and Suburban street rail-
road, formerly the lexington. The line is
an extensive one, stretching from 18th and
G streets out through lexington on the
northeast, and to 18th street on the east.
Practically the entire route has been COM
pleted, with the exception of the section
between 9TH and 18th streets on G and the
portions requiring special work. 1t is ex-
pected there will be some delay in finishing
the section in lexington, owing to the fact
that it was impossible to order the special
ironwork at as early date as was the
case with that needed for the balance OF
the road.
At the last session of Congress a change
was made in the route in lexington and
also the requirement was made that the
underground system should be used instead
of the overhead through most of that sub
division. 1t takes time to get from the
iron mills the material used at the cross
ings, and it will be the delay in having
these orders filled that will prevent the on
Grafton of the road by the new system at
as early date as otherwise might have
been possible.
1t is thought likely. however, that the
new equipment of the road will be ready
for service by the 1st of May. Railroad
men are interested in watching the pro-
gress of the work, especially at the cross
lngs. To the professional eye the de-
tails seem to be exactly similar to those
winch have become familiar in this city,
the two principal street car lines having
so recently substituted the existing motive
power for the old system. However, there
are some changes, especially in the char
acter OF the iron work at the crossings
Since the installation of the system on
the other two roads. the iron men have
designed what is regarded as an improve
ment in the method formerly in use of Sis
tanning the weight of the passing trains
over the opening caused by the crossing of
the slots of the intersecting roads. With
out going into details, it may be said that
the new device gives greater solidity and
strength than the old method
In addition to these improvement il Is
stated that the iron work that is being nut
down on the City and Suburban road is the
heaviest now in use in the city The rails
weigh ninety-three pounds and are sixty
feet long. Soma slight changes are also
noticeable in the form of the yokes

and are stored in the car house at the head
OF New York avenue. In many RESPECTS

Word has bes rssaAived at the State De-
partment Of the arrest in Prague, Austria,
Of an allegednanarehist, who has been
masquerading as acSlonel of the volunteer
army OF the UnitedHStates. He was very
indignant over his arrest, and declared that
he was Anton Moresz. a naturalized Amer-
can citizen and an officer of the American
army. He claimed to be colonel of the Sd
California Volunteer Infantry, and that he
had served with distinction in the Spanish
war. His suspicious conduct led to his ap-
prehension by the Austrian authorities. His
case was investigated. by United States Con-
sui Donzelman.. who. ascertained that he
was travelling under false coiors, and that,
instead of being Ant6sA Moresz, he was really
an anarchist named 'fowczyniski. The au-

character and will put him. on trial for

In order to prevent the spread of small

with Col. John V. Hoff, chief surgeon of

entire population of the island. Col. Hoff
has made a report to the surgeon general
as to- his plan of operations, In which he
says:

1t is estimated that the execution of the
plans will involve an expenditure of about

rectors. inspectors and employees. who are
paid from the military funds. The addition
