| Why THEY DID NOT SHOOT
NEEDED FOR MORE IMPORTANT
WORK THAN TARGET PRACTICE.
Department's Reply to Complaint Tha
. Team Was Not Sent to
Sea Girt.

According to story from New York GER
tain National Guard and retired officers
are indignant at what they term a blunder
on the part OF the War Department In fail
ing to enter an army rife team in the in
ternational shooting match at Sea Girt,
N. ]. 1t Is said that Governor Voorhees,
and several militia officers at Sea Girt have
decided to call Secretary Roots attention to
the absence Of an army rife team and ask
fo- an investigation.
The officials of the War Department say
that the only reason why an army rife
team has not been sent to Sea Girt meet
ings during the past three years was be-
cause the army has been engaged in much
more important duty during that period.
One of the officials said that 1t was singu-
lar that the people who are critieising the
the available troops in the army have been
engaged in fighting the battles Of their
country in the Philippines, Cuba and Porto
Rico since the spring of 1893. Outside OF
the few Infantry raw recruits at interior
posts the only troops In the United States
are attached to the artillery and cavalry
arms and rifle teams are not made up from
such material. Regular army officers ac-
knowledge the value of these competitive
matches, and under ordinary circumstances
would advocate the participation of a rep
resentative army team. A team made up
OF regulars won the championship just be-
other teams wouIu have been entered in
subsequent contests but for the fact that
their presence was needed In more impor-
tant duties elsewhere.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES ABROAD.

american locomotives in Europe" is the
subject Of an interesting report to the
State Department by Deputy Consul Gen.
eral Dean B. Mason at Berlin. Germany.
He says that up to the present. in spite Of
the large and continued Importation Of
American machinery, the American loco
motive. which has for many years been
largely and successfully used in Russia,
can hardly be said to have made more than
an appearance in Germany. Its use by the
Bavarian state railway authorities and the
Prussian government Is spoken Of in favor
able terms. It has been ascertained
through reliable private sources that the
results obtained In Bavaria have been high
ly satisfactory, and have dissfpated the be-
lief which has hitherto prevailed In Official
circles that American engines were not
adapted for use on German railroads.
Owing to such favorable reports 1t Is con-
sidered extremely probable that the Amer
ican type Of engine will be built by Ger
man locomotive builders within short
time.
Since the worlds fair exposition in Chi
cago in 1893 no important fact Of Ameri-
can railway development has escaped the
attention Of German railway managers.
This fact Is evidenced by the sending OF
commissions and individual engineers to
this country (the United States) and spend
construction and management OF our rail-
roads. In closing his report Consul Gen.
erai Mason says:
"It goes without saying. however. that
the principal opportunity for American
railway engines Is In countries which. un-
like Germany, France and England, have
no adequate facilities for building them at
home. Such opportunities exist most mo-
tably In Russia, Turkey and the Balkan
states. where considerable railway con-
struction Is now In progress and still more
projected. No locomotives are manufac-
tured In Turkey or the Balkan states.
where German capital Is being invested and
where important development Is to be ex-
pected within the next ten or twenty years.
"In order to sell American locomotives in
Europe 1t would seem desirable that our
leading American locomotive builders should
establish an agency at some central Ioca-
ti0n. such as Berlin or Paris, where closo
track could be kept Of the needs Of the
European market and whence representa-
tives with good technical education could
b sent to confer with representatives OF

Two of the employees Of the government

where they will take steamer for Manila.
These are Mr.. Edwin c. Jones, who is to

A. Hoggsette. They will sail from San

members Of the party to set up and begin
the operation of the plant will sail in Oc-

proofreader: Jerome Kendall. makeup; NJ.
L. Roberts. foreman press room; F. A. An
derson, pressman: Milton E. Rowzee, elec-
trotyper; w. c. Boothby, paper expert.
This entire force has been made up Of men
who are familiar with the methods of doing
business in the government printing Office
here, most Of them having been employed
In the office for many years, and all of
whom were In the Office at the time of
their appointment to their new places In
the Philippines. 1t Is thought that with
this force Of experts to oversee the work
the public printing Office In the Philip
pines will at once take very high rank
for efficiency.
Nearly the entire printing plant has now
900, and is regarded as complete an estab-
lishment Of the kind ever set up anywhere.
The fOremen Of the various departments
who have bDn detailed to go to Manila
will see that the plant Is properly in
stalled, and later in the fall corps Of
compositors will be sent there. 80 that the
entire plant will be operated by men per-
fectly familiar with like machinery in the
government printing office In this city
The government is experiencing some
difficulty in securing bookbinders to go to
the Philippines Some time ago Edward
Wagner an emplOye Of the bindery in the
government printing Office here, was Sc
lected as foreman for the proposed govern
ment Philippine bindery, and Ave other
workmen in the same bindery were offered
positions In Manila at a salary Of 81. 400 a
year each. Vest erday all Of these work.
men except Wagner declined the offer.
They gave as their reason the increased
cost Of living in the Philippines. and 1t is
understood that the matter was brought
to their attention by the mass meeting OF
teachers recently held in Manila to pro-
test against not being allowed to purchase
supplies Of the commissary department.
The men receive a salary Of 81, $50 a year
here. and they say 1t would be a financial
sacrifice to go to Manila for 81, 400. Fore
man Wagner. who will sail from San Fran
cisco the 10Th, Is to receive a salary Of
1900 year.
