WITH THE TRAP SHOOTERS.

New York, June l2.-Over 100 expert
trap shooters from all over the United
States, were on hand this morning when
the Interstate associations first grand
American handicap target tournament
was begun at Interstate park, Queens,
Long Island.
Eighty per cent Of these took part in
the ten sweepstake events which made up
the programme. The others reserved
themselves for the preliminary handicap
which is to take place tomorrow.
On Thursday, the grand American
handicap at targets will be shot out and
from present indications about six
score shooters will try conclusions in
this big event.
The weather conditions today were
most favorable and the scores as a rule
were above the average.
Manufacturers agents and paid repre-
sentatives win not be allowed to qualify
for any Of the money prizes. They only
shot today for targets and this arrange
ment induced great many amateurs to
enter the several contests with the re-
suit that those scoring as good as Sc per
cent won money.
Nearly 10, Ill targets were shot at today
and the shooters made excellent time,
there being not a moments delay at any
Of the sets of traps.
All those who took part In the ten
events shot at 175 targets each. None
Of them succeeded In getting a clean
score, the best aggregate being made by
X. 0. Heikes of Dayton, Ohio, who broke
1877 out of It's. John S. Fam ing, form
Ierly Of San Francisco, came next with
166, and another Dayton man, Il. ID.
Rike, was close up with 1865.

ALL EFFORTS HAVE FAILED.

The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch dated June
10th, says:
News from Pekin. dated June 18th.
says that the boxers were then killing
hundreds of native Christians and the
servants of foreigners"
The same correspondent, in a dispatch
dated yesterday, says.
"A Chinese report states that Admiral
Seymour is lighting with the Chinese reg
ulars and that the foreign forces nave
seized the Taku forts"
Another dispatch from Hong Kong,
dated Saturday, says:
The air is full of sinister rumors with
regard to the progress of affairs in the
capitol, but it is extremely difficult to
obtain confirmation of any of the stories
afoat. The position of the foreign en-
voys is believed to be desperate. The
authorities here are understood to have
received information that one of tbs
foreign ministers and a legation secre-
tary nave been murdered In the midst
of these rumors an extraordinary amount
of excitement has been caused by the sud
den dispatch under sealed orders of II.
M. S. Undaunted, without awaiting her
full supply of stores. The Rosario is also
under orders to prepare for an immediate
start"
The following summary of the situation
was telegraphed to the Daily News from
Shanghai last evening:
THE situation is critical and without
parallel since the Indian mutiny. At the
Yang Use ports there is a grave feeling
of unrest among the natives AS yet
there has been no outbreak; but placards
have been posted in Kin Kiang, Ugas
Skin and WI HUI calling on the people to
kill and burn A body of rioters, 5000
strong, are at Kwei Hsien in the p~refec-
ture of Canton, and troops have gone to
suppress them.
THE powers u~nprepared, are helpless
to prevent disaster; but. barring trifing
local friction, they are working amic-
ably"
LONDON, Tune 1S.-The morning papers
generally consider the situation in China
more serious than ever, but they have so
thoroughly exhausted their superlatives
that there is not much left to be said.
They advise that some of the rumors be
treated with caution.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-THE con.
troversy between the st. Louis Tran
sit Company and its striking employees
has developed into a struggle between
capital and labor along the lines of a
boycott
President Gompers of theAmerican
Federation of Labor has declared
that he will do all in his power to
bring the influence of the whole body
of organized labor in America to bear
upon the local situation in an effort
to win the strike for the union. Mr..
Gompers urges the strikers to be law
abiding. but advises them to make
the operation Of the cars as expensive
as possible by refusing to patronize
them. The boycott to be declared,
strike leaders say, will apply not only
to the st. Louis Transit Company, but
to every business man. every assoeia-
ton, and in fact, any corporation or
individual favoring it in any way.

THE NATIONAL R
Elected Its Entire Ticket in the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS From All Parts

Order

HAVANA, June 17.-General Alejan-
dro Rodriguez, Nationalist, was yes
terday elected mayor Of Havana. poll
ing 1903 votes against 1924 cast for
Senior Estrada Mora, Independent.
The total vote fell about 4,500 below
the registration.
The Nationalist party elected it's en-
tire ticket-eighteen councilmen, the
treasurer, one correctional judge and
the municipal judges. The other cor
reetional judgeship fell to an Independ-
ent candidate, as did also the fourth
municipal judgeship. OF the six other
councilmen, four are Republicans and
two Nationalist, who ran independ-
emily.
Reports from every part of the ISL
and go to show that perfect order pre-
vailed at the polls. Not a shot was
fired nor was there any sign of dis
turDance anywhere.
To an American observer of the cleo
ton it seemed as if the people regard
ed the whole matter with absolute in
difference. There was no even a crowd
in waiting to hear the result declared.
Not q cheer was raised, nor were there
any Of the ordinary indications Of cleo
ton excitement, although a demonstra-
ton in honor of the successful can
didate will take place tonight
The victory of the Nationalist Is
chiefly due to the fact that they were
first in the field and had the benefit
of a well-disciplined organization.
Another fact demonstrated by the
election is the inability OF Republican
leaders, headed by Juan Gualberto Co
mez and Domingo Mendez Capote, with
their organ, La Discussion, TO cut an
important figure in the politics OF Ha-
vana. The Republican leaders have
failed all along the line to justify their
numerous pretentions-

Virginia and Pennsylvania for the ar

that the attempt to arrest him will be
made in Philadelphia. A number of
persons in this State have written to
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, urg-

by Governor Mount in the event Taylor
is arrested. Governor Taylor's friends
say they have assurances from lead

him somewhat on this subject but Mr..
Hanna expresses confidence that no
concession will be made.
