NAVAL TARGET PRACTICE.
Extraordinary Night Shooting by the
!. Big Ships

Remarkable results have already been
obtained In the naval target practice now
going on in Menemsha Blight The vessels
of the North Atlantic Squadron in last
springs target practice broke all the
worlds records for rapidity and accuracy
of fire, both with big and little guns But
that was daylight work under favorable
conditions for good shooting. The big ships
are now doing some extraordinary night
shooting. The experience of the Russo
Japanese war has convinced the general
board that in the future the great naval
battles may be fought at night, and it is
certain that most of the torpedo work will
be done IN the hours OF darkness. Hence
1t Is believed to be essential to develop
the gun pointers in night work, and al
ready surprising results have been obtain
Eed in the practice in the Blight
Using her S-ineh guns, one of the battle
ships made the remarkable score of eight
hits out of nine shots at night. The target,
distant about a mile, was illuminated by a
searchlight, and the gnnners used spe-
cial night sight. What is more remarkable
is that the ship from which this shooting
was done was forging ahead in the open
sea at ten knots. The result Of the target
practice so far is regarded as highly salts

ATTITUDE OF CHINA.
St. Petersburg is Looking for Import
ant Developments.

\
ST. PETERSBURG. September 17.-Im-
portant development regarding China's at
titude toward the belligerents is anticipated
here in well-informed quarters. There are
rumors of closer relations between China
and Japan. OF the possibility of the Japa-
nese turning over Port Arthur, when cap
tured, to China, of their restoring Man
churia to the Chinese, etc. Although these
reports are not confirmed they lead to quite
general belief that some sort of ne
gotiations are going on behind the scenes,
of which the outside world has little cogniz-
ance. The Russ says 1t believes the Japa-
nese successes are emboldening the Chinese
government more and more and that they
are prompting such diplomatic steps as
China never dreamed of before. Since the
Japanese occupation of Newchang and d.
rect contact between the Chinese and Jap
anese they have seemed to quickly reach
an understanding the occupation of neu-
trail territory evoking no protest.
The Russ expects the war to take on a
phase, as Chinese neutrality vanlshes,
which the powers In their agreement to
preserve Chinas neutrality cannot ignore.
Moreover. the Russ believes the situation

they were not compelled to make contribu-

tribution made by them was a voluntary
act. The democratic congressional commit
tee has obtained copy Of Judge Spence's s
