Washington, Aug. 5.-An exeprt
rifeman shooting pigeons in the read
ing room of the congressional library
was one of the sights that astonished
tourists visiting the expensively ap-
pointed building.
An hour was required to kill three
birds. In order to avoid the possibil-
ity of running decorations that cost
many thousand dollars, it was neces-
sary to wait until each pigeon alighted
at some spot where Il bullet could do
no damage This was successfully ac-
complished.
Three pigeons' entered the reading
room thru the ventilators, They liked
the place and proceeded to establish
comfortable nests. Their contin ,al
dying about the room greatly annoyed
those who came to study.
No way could be devised to remove
the birds except by shooting them with
q rife An expert was summoned and
he killed the three birds in an hour.

fighting began at daybreak of the 2Ith

commanded by Mai Gen. kond-

To this fire the Russians replied with
deliberation. The naval battery was
