says: The archbishop of Canterbury told
the Canterbury diocesan conference re-
Gently that it might become his duty in
September or October next to take adj
vantage Of the formal invitation he had
received to attend great gathering of
the Episcopal Church in the United States.
The suggestion that he should attend
seemed at first to him to be out of the
question. having regard for his duties, but
the consensus of testimony, lay and cleri-
cal. as to the good which an official visit
of this character might do forced him not
to put the plan aside.

A dispatch from st. Louis says: Gen.
Cronje, the Boer leader and hero Of the
South African war. has romance which
has been progressing at the Boer camp at
the fair for two weeks. The famous gen.
eral is soon to be married to Mrs. Johanna
Steetzel, the widow of one of the generals
war companions. She is also at the fair
The romance of this sixty-eight-year- old
lover has been of only two weeks duration
but it has now progressed so far that he
makes regular calls every evening and es-
corts Mrs. Steetzel to the rehearsal of the
representation of the Boer war at the ex-
position.
Although Gen. Cronje had fought side by
side with Mrs. SteetzePs husband on the
battlefield and saw him fall in battle, he
did not know the wife until they met at the
fair. The general has been widower since
last November.

ment There Is, however, the possibilit,
that the different parts of the rifles may
not be properly fitted. Therefore oui
rifiemen prefer to buy the arms from Mar.
tin and other expert shots. simply because
the experts have the parts properly fitted.
Not only that. but all the component part.
OF these rifles are stamped by the British
government viewers mark. which in it,
self is sufficient proof that the rifles are
according to regulations
THE rules governing the Palma contest
last year were those enacted by the Amer
leans themselves before the contests orig
mated in 1901. This being so. il seems pc
culiar that they should deliberately break
their own rules. 1t must have been a pre-
meditated action on their part. for they
doubtless left America with the intention
OF using the special rifles.
Difference Between the Barrels.
The difference between the two barrels
is that those used last year by the Ameri-
cans had twist in the rifiing of s inches.
as compared with a twist of 10 inches.
THE latter twist is that adopted by the
United States government The using of "A
twist of inches was a private enterprise
on the part of the team or those RESPONSE
bic for it. The material difference is In the
spin of the bullet. BY having the shorter
twist greater revolution is secured, the
bullets maintaining thereby truer axis.
1t is necessary, however, to have special
cartridge made. with a slightly higher
charge. to maintain the same propulsion.
The bullet having the extra revolution to
make would spend some of it's speed This
is corrected by using a higher explosive.
The British team, | admt-in fact. IL is
admitted generally-knew of the special
ammunition being used. but not for the
purpose ii was intended. 1T was mutually
understood that both sides should use am
munition of a special make. The special
barrels used by the Americans, esti-
mate. made difference Of 30 points at
least in their score. AS for the statement
of the officials of the American team that
the British team knew they were using the
shorter twist. it is absurd. for the captain
of the British team would not have allow
ed his men to compete under such circum-
stances.
Il know all the members of the AmeSican
team and most of the officials and I can
say that they are the best of good fellows.
I have ever found them so. But. really
they ought not to keep the trophy. ! do
not say that the National Rifle Association
of Great Britain would accept IL back-I
am speaking unofficially-but it is not nice
to have irritation exist, and as / feel there
has been n mistake somewhere the Ameri-
cans ought to adopt the course | suggest
Everything possible should be done to
maintain friendly feeling between the
two countries. for out of little things great
things often arise
Considering Return of Trophy.
A meeting of the executive committee of
the National Rifle Associa ton of America
will be held at the Arlington Hotel this
city. late this afternoon. to consider a sug-
gestion that the Palma trophy be returned
to the National Rife Association of Great
Britain.
