interests will have to hustle to prevent
interference with the Chinese exclusion
act when Congress meets.
There Is movement among certain
commercial elements IN the North and
South that Is gradually forming itself
into a demand for Congressional quali-
fication OF the present exclusion laws.
The South Is thoroughly frightened at
the threat Of boycott on American goods
by the Chinese. as the greater part OF
the shipments to China are cotton. There
Is also decided feeling OF sympathy for
the so-called student and merchant
classes Of Chinese among Northern repre-
sentatives who reflect the belief OF their
constituents that China Is being harshly
dealt with by the United States.
1t was learned to-day that special re-
ports on the subject have been ordered
by the Treasury Department The Gov
ernment has taken the matter seriously
enough to make 1t the subject Of special
study.
Secretary Metcalf Of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor has made re-
quest upon the State Department. with
which it has complied. that the Mexican
Government be asked TO assist the Ameri-
can immigration inspectors on the Texas
border In their efforts to prevent the
wholesale smuggling Of Chinese across
from Mexico into the United States. The
Secretary bases his request upon a report
from 7. F. Schmucher, inspector in
charge at El Paso, Tex. This shows that
in Juarez. Mexico, across the river from
FL Paso, there are three Chinese firms

the new Erie Railway postal car at Jer-

fort and safety. 1t. goes somewhat be-
yond the exacting specifications of the
Government as to railway postal cars.
alike as to strength, utility and comfort.
These improvements have met with the
approval of the postal officials here and

The exterior of the car is entirely of
steel. Its interior fittings, sorting tables.
letter racks and all other necessary
woodwork are of fire. prooofed wood. 1t

Spread.
Special Dispatch to The can

FOLSOM. n. NJ. May 23-John Nc
Minaman, ranchman living near VAL
ley, n. NJ, was struck by lightning and
knocked senseless last evening and was
not able to see to-day. He was standing
in the door of his house when the bolt
struck and was waiting for Rolla New
kirk, boy, to hand him an oil coat for
use in the storm. A half-witted fellow
who had been stopping at the ranch was
behind McMinaman.
Seeing the flash, followed by the fall
of the ranchman, young Newkirk be-
lieved the demented fellow had shot the
rancher. Newkirk tore through a screen
door and ran. In the darkness he ran
into a barbed wire fence, which threw
him back. the barbs tearing his clothing
The scared boy plunged into the fence
again, going through it. He saw the dim
outlines of a tall cactus, which he mis-
took for the demented man, and ran two
miles to the Hardesly ranch, where he
reported the supposed murder.
Hardesly seized a rifle, told the boy
to alarm the neighbors and hastened to
the McMinaman ranch. Learning the
facts, and that the rancher had been
stunned only, he started back home
to head off the neighbors hasten
ing to the scene. He was mis-
taken for the supposed murderer, am
bushed and ordered to throw up his
hands He had no trouble in establishing
his identity and narrowly escaped being
shot.
McMinaman and the boy, who was
prostrated by his scare, are recovering.

POSITION IN RIFLE SHOOTING
By Waiter g. Hudson. M D.. President of the
Manhattan Rife and Revolver Association.

distribute the agony as one rifieman
expressed il, by applying the butt to
2 au1ereEt part at each shot This
leads TO irregular shooting. With the
-SO-calibers the recoil is not severe
enough to cause trouble of this kind,
and the Tif1eman should be careful to
mold the weapon exactly alike for eacn
shot.
The great point in acquiring a per
feet prone position is to find one that
IS low and comfortable, so that one
does not have to shift about continu-
ally. Other details which conduce TO
comfort are the finding OF a soft spot
on which to rest the elbows, avoiding
any slippery material like a rubber
blanket. A very little slip of the ell
bow is sufficient TO score a. clean miss.
Equally to be avoided as elbow rests
are the rough rope mats in use on some
ranges-the elbows viii get sore enough
at first without raspipg them on a
rough surface Then, again. much un-
necessary reaching and moving about
can be avoided if the rifieman viii, be-
fore lying down, 50 dispose of his out
fit that everything is within easy reach.
Try to find an arrangement that is con-
Venient, and then always follow it syS-
tematically.
The various back positions are per-
mitted at ranges of 500 yards and over.
They are undoubtedly the steadiest of
all. and most of the lOng-range match
rifles are shot in that way. The Krag
can also be shot in this way. but is
used with military sights-the rear
sight is too far away from the eye for
comfort. With target sights it is all
right. A particularly comfortable and
steady position for. the military rifle
is that known as the Texas grip. The
old .45-caliber Springfield is well adapt
ed TO this position, and in it can be
manipulated with an astonishing de-
gree Of accuracy and rapidity- The
Krag, however. does not fit the Texas
grip position so well. Its bolt handle is
in the way. and it does not seem to
shoot as accurately this way as it does
in the prone position, probably because
of interference with the flip of the bar
rel. Nevertheless, some rifiemen use
this position by preference even with
the Krag. Besides being steadier 1t
brings the left arm into such a position
that il acts as pillow for the heao,
relieving all strain upon the muscles or
the neck so noticeable in the long
range back position. 1t also causes the
sling strap to take up all the recoil,
transferring it to the thigh, where re-
coil is unnOticeabie,
In searching for comfortable back
position, it is well to acquire the habit
of keeping ones toes well out OF the
line of fire. 1t may sound absurd, but
is nevertheless fact, that several rife
men have managed to shoot off one
or more toes from failure to observe
this precaution, and with the shorter
weapons now in general use such accl-
dents are more likely to happen
