General Kuropatkin is crack
marksman. When he was Minister of
War during a tour of inspection he
visited Sebastopol ar strolled with the
commandant along the boulevard,
where there was a shooting saloon.
His host invited him to contest, and
the minister accepted, each to fire ten
shots with revolver at fifteen PAGES,
the target being a piece Of white card
board about the size of a small
cigarette case. With a revolver the
general put all his ten shots into the
target, to the complete discontinue of
the other competitor and when a
similar target was put up ten PAGES
farther~off he repeated the performance
with the rifle.

GENERAL BUSINESS.
Improvement Noted During Past Week
Throughout Country.

New York. June 10.-Reports made to
the International Mercantile Agency
from special correspondents at trade
centers throughout the country indicate
some improvement in general business
during the last week. This has been
noteworthy in the South and South
west where excellent sales have brought
the volume of better distributions. Hats
and caps are active. but boots ana
shoes in certain sections have not done
as we'll as usual.
Retail trade is strong and if fall bus
mess turns out as well as advices now
indicate the total for the year to Sept.
1. will average fully as much as that
rCnorted during the corresponding pc
riod Of 1903.
Labor difficulties on the Great Lakes
appear to be nearing solution with the
prospect that most of the congestion in
traffic will be relieved within fort
night or so. The tie-up has been very
disastrous and losses sustained aggre-
gate 4 very much larger sum than was
looked for when the disturbance began.
Iron is still stagnant. most branches
Of the industry being virtually ut a
standstilI. The only exceptions are
structural materials and raw pipe,
where a large business is reported.
Half the merchant furnaces in the
Pittsturg district are likely to he out of
blast by July /. which will materially
lessen coke production.
Business throughout New England is
still depressed by unsettled conditions
i'm manufacturing due to the shutdown
of cotton mills. Wool prices are uncer-
tain.and mills run on orders only. Some
activity is reported in leather goods,
but the tendency everywhere manifest
ed is to go SLOW"

Dynamite Exploded In Attempt TO
Destroy Artificial Lake.
An attempt was made Tuesday at st.
Mary's. Ohio, by unknown persons to
blow up the gates at the head Of st.
Mary's reservoir with dynamite. The
charge was not large enough to destroy
the masonry or to displace the heavy
gates There has been much i'll feeling
among people living In the vicinity of the
reservoir owing to the widespread belief
that the banks Of the large body of water
were not safe. notwithstanding that the
state has spent large sums in the last
year to strengthen the earthworks. Had
the object Of the miscrcants been attain.
ed the town Of st. Mary's and the ada.
cent valley would have been swept by a
destructive food, causing enormous loss
OF life and property. The authorities
are hard at work to apprehcnd the perpe-
traitors Of the outrage. This reservoir
Is the largest artificial body OF water In
the world. The city Is lower than the
water. The shock in the morning was
followed by a great scare.
