Fullerton, 18th District On Saturday
evening last Mr.. r. Howard Mccormick, of
Mark Alexanders Range" was given a sur
prise by his many friends, the occasion being
his birthday. Mr.. Mccormick was asked to
take walk, late in the evening, by several of
the fair sex, and was kept out until conve-
nient hour On his return home he found
jolly party of young folks awaiting him in the
parlor. It is useless to say he was not sur
prised, as he had been kept in ignorance of the
fact, and it was not until Mr.. Harry S. Alt, of
Towson, presented him with very handsome
silk umbrella, in. behalf of the young folks of
Gatchs Church, that his speech returned.
The evening was spent most delightfully."- in
music, games, strolls, etc. At late hour re-
freshments were served. Among those present
were Misses Evalena Oyeman Beulah Lee,

FIGHTS AT NEW-CHWANG.
CAUSES OF THE TROUBLE BETWEEN
AMERICANS AND RUSSIANS.

Pekins, Jan. S.-While the actual casualties
during 'ac fighting at New-Chwang between
American sailors belonging to the United States
gunboat Nicksburg which is wintering there,
and Russian soldiers attached to the garrison
Of that port trifing up to date the matter
has resulted in unpIeasanty strained relations
between the American, Russian and British au-
thorities there. The Washington and st. Peters
burg governments are now endeavorng to ar
range matters that there may be no further
friction the subject.
The trouble began in the action of some sail
ors belonging to the British sloop of war Al
gerine, also in winter quarters at New-Chwang.
in carrying ashore six rifles for in theatri-
cal performance. The Russian administrator
sent force of men 10 arrest the British sailors.
The Russians. however. by mistake broke into
a reading room " here a party of the Vicksburg' g
men We're seated. and tried to arrest them. The
Americans resisted, using chairs in so doing.
but they were overpowered after a sharp fight.
and handed over 10 the United States Consul.
who sent them on board the Vicksburg. The
bad feeling which arose from this incident re-
suited in several fights when American and Brit
ish sailors met Russian soldiers and the latter,
not being accustomed to fist fights. were usually
badly worsted This state Of affairs eliminated
on New Years Day in a more serious ARRAY.
and the Russian Minister here. NJ. Paul Lessar.
complained TO the United States Minister at this
capital. Edwin H Conger, that two members
of the Vicksburgs had fired revolver at
unoffendng Russian soldier. wounding him in
the arm.
The relations between the American and Brit
fish consus and naval commanders and the Rus
sian Administrator at New -Chwang are strained,
which makes a friendly settlement of the affair
difficult. The administrator attempted to en-
force a social code which the foreign officials
refused TO recognize, and consequently their re-
lations have been limited to strictly official in
terviews. which have not been amiable. consist
ing mostly in protests against the action of the
administrator and protests of the administrator
against the conduct of the sailors.
The memorandum presented by the Russian
Minister the United States Minister here re-
lates 10 various alleged assaults committed by
Americans. On occasion, it is said, three
sailors attacked a sentry, and owe their lives
TO the sentry's forbearanCe in not exercising his
right TO shoot The administrator demanded
that the United States Consul try the offenders,
but the commander of the Nicksburg Z. b.
Barry, wrote curt refusal.
Mr.. Conger is enGeaVoring TO restore friendly
relations at New -Chwang. He is urging the
United States Consul there, Henry B. Miller, TO
cooperate with the Russian authorities in sup
pressing and furnishing violence. The steps
taken, however. seriously handicapped by
the action of the Russians who refuse to allow
foreigners the telegraph line.
The foreigners at New-Chwang attribute the
trouble largely TO lack of tact upon the part OF
the administrator.

THE SLAUGHTER OF PIGEONS.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ONCE INTRODUCED
BILL TO PREVENT THE PRACTICE

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ONCE INTRODUCED
BILL TO PREVENT THE PRACTICE.
President Roosevelt is generally recognized as n
thorough sportsman. yet the President when an
Assembiyman, in 1892 introduced a bill at Albany
prohibiting live bird shooting matches. President
Roosevelt is enthusiastic hunter and has spent
more or less time in the woods and fields in quest
OF wild game In the last few years. Like many
other real sportsmen however. he does not believe
In the butchery of domestic fowls simply for the
sake of making a record, or still worse, for a
gamble
In practically all OF the live bird tournaments
held In this district money prizes distributed
among the winners, and the heavier the sweep
stakes the more important the match is considered.
The bill trying TO put a stop to pigeon slaughter
introduced by Mr. Roosevelt like its predecessors,
was ruthessly killed in committee.
The shooting Of live pigeons thrown from a trap
is still licensed by the Legislature of the State.
II in 1874 that the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals interfered prevent n live
pigeon tournament from being held at Coney Island.
The court decided at that time that the shooting
OF live pigeons thrown from traps was within the
statute against cruelty. 1t was in 1875 that the
clubs which had encouraged this sort OF slaughter
secured the passage of the law permitting such al
legged sport.
The bill introduced at Albany by Senator Slater
ought and probably will receive the moral sup
OF most of the true sportsmen in the country.
not TO speak OF the approval OF the better class
