Theft of Sheep.
Col P. H. TT. Massey tells OF this
battle which he witnessed IN the
course of his explorations in Aslatlc

an attempted theft of sheep. He says:
Some fiocks were being driven off
across the Sipkanli Kurds' border
when the usual alarm signals, shots
fired and smoke fires kindled at all
the villages around, brought clouds
of horsemen galloping wildly across
in that direction. This did not look
very reassuring in the middle of so
wild country, where human life IS
never worth that of a good sheep, but
we soon perceived, by the yelling
Kurds with grinning faces who dashed
past us, that to us no harm was in
tended.

triumphantly brought back, together
with the bodies of a few dead Kurds

Roosevelt,s Denver Speech.

The few members of congress in Washington are not agitated by Presi- dent Roosevelt's Denver speech, pro- nouncedly positive as it was for rail- way rate legislation. It is by no means the first time the President has been emphatic In this direction. Moth ing. 1t is pointed out, could have been clearer and stronger than his posi- tion when he sent his message on the subject to the last session of the last congress. That congress did nothing. except for the house to pass a mean ingless compromise bill which the sem ate, through it's committee on inter state commerce, sitting ostensibly to give hearings on the question, has treated with utter contumely. Sena- tors Elkins and Kean. managers of the hearings, have succeeded in arraying a powerful lot of testimony either tending to confuse the minds of the public in a pretended effort at educa- tion.
 Democrats here are more than ever convinced that the Republicans intend that nothing shall be done, President Roosevelt to the contrary notwith- standing. They will be stronger nu- merically in both branches of the fifty ninth congress than for many years. the extension of the civil service has greatly curtailed the persuasive force over congress of federal patronage fin executive hands, President Roosevelt has declared he will not again be a candidate for President, the stand patters" have gained new blood, poodle and courage; the Democrats are fewer than ever, and apparently as divided as ever; the country is fairly prosperous and the seasons arc propitious.

National Guard Rifle Practice.


 It appears from inquiries received by the National Board for the Promo tion of Rifle Practice that 1t Is not generally understood by members of the National Guard desiring to take part in the National Shoot at Sea Girt in August, that provision Is made for their expenses while in their camp Of instruction. Under the provisions of Section IA of the Dick militia bill passed in 1903, teams can assemble at their home station, in camp of instruc- tion and all expenses of the camp, to- gether with transportation. subsistence and pay can be drawn for through the War Department.
 Subsistence at Sea Girt can be ob- tained for at the rate of S1 per day, but as the War Department only all lows twenty cents per day for enlisted men 1t will be necessary for states sending teams to provide for the ad- ditional eighty cents. This can be readily done, as every state has funds to its credit on the books of the War Department. New Jersey will furnish tents and cots free It is the desire of the Secretary of War and all officers under him, together with national guard officers. that the States devote more attention to- rifle and revolver practice, and less to maneuvering and expensive camps. sham battles etc.
 In Ohio General Dick has issued an order in which it is plainly stated that every member of the Ohio National Guard who goes into the camp of in- struction must be prepared to make some kind of record as shot, and that every member who does not per- feet himself in some degree as 8 marksman will be promptly mustered out of the service. Ohio is determined to devote very little time to dress pa rades and other show" items of camp life. but give the closest attention in shooting. In this Ohio is to be con- graduated.
 Gen. Harries and Maj. Bell of the District of Columbia National Guard have determined that every man in the guard shall be able to hit the mark and that better instruction may be giv- en, the guard will be sent by batallions to the range, instead of having a gen. eral camp All the States are becom- ing interested, and 1t Is only a question of time when the National Guard will be largely composed of sharpshooters. The interest has extended to civilians, and many new rifle clubs have lately been organized and most of them will send teams to Sea Girt.

Tobacco Trust Investigation.

Notwithstanding all the display of activity by the tobacco trust busters of the government which is now in os- tensible evidence through agents and secret service men working up testi- mony, it is plain to one who goes about the Department of Justice, that the authorities realize that they have no small task ahead of them. The first move for resistance against the expressions of the trust began in the Kentucky-Tennessee tobacco district and the government has extended the investigation to include tho methods of the trust in dealing with jobbers and shoppers in some of the large eastern cities. In Kentucky and Ten nessee, where the growers are most af- fected, it is said there will be the greatest difficulty in arriving at so- lution of the trouble. This is the dark tobacco region, a large part of whose product is bought by the Italian gov ernment. The foreigners deal with the trusts whose agents are sent into the tobacco district with instructions to buy at a certain price. The opin- ion has been recently expressed here that Investigations at any point in the tobacco district where only the agents operate can accomplish nothing ex- cept to learn from the growers what they sell for and from agents what they give for tobacco. The real root of the investigation of the injustice to the tobacco farmer Is said to lie in the kind of contract the trust people make with the foreigners and the develop ment of any difference between the price they instruct their agents to pay for the leaf, along with the es- sential development of wherein any op- eration along these lines constitutes violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
