AMERICAN SHOTS
 MIN PALMA TROPHY
Conditions Ideal for the Great
 International Match
VICTORY IS CELEBRATED
Duke of Cambridge Prssldss at Ban- ouet and Toasts to she American Marksmen Are Proposed-Trophy
 Has an Interesting History.

Bisley, Eng, July 1.-The annual con- test of the International Rife associa- tion opened here today with the great in- ternational team match for the Palma trophy. The weather conditions were fla vorable though the heat was terrific The shooting at 800 yards resulted as follows:
 United Kingdom, 554 America, 55i Norway. AT; France. Al; Australia, 5ls
 The above scores were out of possible six hundred.
 The individual American scores at 800 yards were:
 Private George Cook, n; Sergeant J. H. Keough. 7s; Corporal c. E. Winter, 57; Corporal W B. Short. s9; lieutenant K. K. " Casey, 60; Sergeant George Doyle. 66; Lieutenant Thomas Holeomb. IT.. 66; Lieutenant A. E. Wells. G. Private Cook, with "A, tied Martin of the British team for the best score at this range.
 When the shooting in the second stage commenced the Americans soon overhaul ed and passed their British competitors In the first twenty shots the United King dom dropped IS points against 8, dropped by the Americans. As the shooting pro- gressed the keen interest in the contest was shown by the number of spectators continually arriving. The warmness of the atmosphere made the shooting ideal. The 5 breeze was blowing at the average veloc- ity of six miles.
 Victory Celebrated.
 The victory of the American rifiemen was celebrated tonight at the Trocadero. Among those present were the members of the contesting teams and a number of distinguished British officers. The Duke of Cambridge, president of the rifle association, presided, and he and Capt. Merrilon, of the French team congratu- lated the Americans on their success
 Major Fremantle, captain of the British team, proposed the health of the winners, saying that the best team had won. Col. Leslie c. Bruce. captain of the American team, responded. He said that todays match was in every respect one of the greatest on record. International con tests in rifle shooting reached their zenith about the centennial year in America, and resulted in the raising of a subscrip- tion of $500, which was made the Palma trophy. Its inscription and dedication reads:
 "From the United States of America to the riflemen of the world"
 About the Palma Trophy.
 The trophy was shot for the same year by Scottish, Irish, English and Canadian teams and over these the American team was victorious. The following year Sir Henry Halford and his English team challenged and came over for 1t. but again the Americans proved victorious
 After that a contest for the trophy did not take place for years
 No foreign country cared to challenge and the trophy at last reached Govern ors Island, where 1t rested for nearly

Dun's Weekly RaYieW Of Trade.

New York, January 2.-R. G. Dun
& Cos Weekly Review Of Trade to-.
morrow will say:
Despite the interruption Of hoii-
day, taking of inventories and other
disturbing elements incidental to the
closing of the old year, the past week
has been far from dull. Consumers
were not perceptibly lessening pur-
cbases, while the approach Of higher
freight rates accelerated the shipment
of goods. Transporting facilities con-
tinue utterly inadequate, the pressing
need for fuel diverting rolling stock
from other classes of freight. New
wage scales have become effective,
largely enhancing the purchasing pow
er of the people. The new year opens
with every prospect of exceptional
activity in all branches Of business.
Railway earnings thus far available for
December show gain of TT per cent
over 1901, and l.9 per cent over 1900,
while for the full year there are in
creases of Al and 165 per cent, re-
spectfully, Notwithstanding the heavy
loss of coal traffic.
The question of higher freight rates
complicates the situation regarding
iron and steel, but new orders are con-
stantly coming forward and the activ-
ity of plants would equal capacity were
it not for the fuel shortage. Quota
tions of all products in this industry
are fully maintained, with tendency
toward higher prices, because of
freights and fuel. Textile mills are
busy with only a hand to-mopth de-
mand for cotton goods, but export
buying for China continues large.
Farm products weakened as visible
supplies increased, and reports from
the West indicate that much more
grain is offered for shipment than the
railroads will accept.

MODERN LANGUAGES.
ignorance i; Of Them a Source Of
Danger to the Nation.

An anonymous author of volume of
interesting essays, lately published
under. the title of Musings Without
Method, makes rather slashing at
tack upon the cult Of modern Ian
guages. 1t was Lord Rosebery who
irritiated this gentleman's mind and
induced him to pen the essay. Lord
.Rosebery said at Glasgow that the
average Englishman's ignorance of
French and German is "a source Of
real danger to the nation.'' The
essayisJ juggles with the phrase and
rather peryersely insists upon under
standing it in it's most literal sense.
Of course, Lord Rosebery did not mean
that the acquisition of foreign Ian
guages by his countrymen would be in
itself a national safeguard against
either commercial or political peril.
What he did mean, and what is true,
is this: That the English systematic
ally isolate themselves from intellectual
contact with the two great continental
nations. They are not throughly in
formed of what their foreign COM
petitors are doing; they feel sort of
ur willingness to recognize the practical
achievements Of foreigners, and there
fore in almost all departments Of men
tai activity, from phiIology to
chemistry, Englishmen are in danger
Of falling behind. Now one thing
which powerfully tends to perpetuate
this isolation is. an ignorance Of foreign
Languages, which acts as a sort of veil
tc shat out the light which comes to
him who has easy access to the record
ed thought Of his contemporaries.
J To know another language than ones
own perceptibly enlarges ones intel
lectual horizon and quickens ones
sympathetic capacity. The English
man who knows French and German
must inevitably come to know some-
thing of the peoples who speak these
languages. He must enter, if ever so
little, into their mental processes. He
must see things, to some extent, from
their point of view. In the end, BY
learning French, he will become, in
ispite of himself, just the least bit of a
Frenchman. In learning German he
will half unconsciously put himself
into the attitude of q German. In
deed, the saying of a very famous
statesman contained much truth in
it's seeming exaggeration when he de-
clared: :" / am as many times man
according as am a master of many
languages. - Therefore when Lord
Rosebery uttered his dictum at Glas-
gov there was a good deal Of rather
profound philosophy conveyed in it.
It was not the value of modern lang
uages as an accomplishment or their
utilitarian value in the world Of CON-
merce that he had first of all in view.
1t was rather the fact that knowledge
of them unlocks the mind that would
otherwise be obstinately closed to many
stimulating influences, and confers in
Consequence not only suppleness, but
strength. New York Commercial Ad-
