President Expresses BIS Qualification
over the Remarkable Progress
Among Enlisted Men.

Washtngton.-In a letter to Acting
Secretary Oliver, President Roosevelt
has expressed his graft hcation over the
remarkable progress in marksman-
ship by the enlisted men OF the army.
Before the Spanish war the American
private soldier was admittedly the best
shot in the world The addition OF a
large number of volunteers had the eff
feet OF greatly reducing the average,
but since the reorganization following
the war every effort has been made to
stimulate interest in Workmanship.
and the result Is that to-day the aver
age is probably higher than it was at
the beginning Of the war.
The figures laid before the president
which ELECTED bis approval showed
that in 1903 there were in the whole
army IS expert riaemen, $40 sharp
shooters and 500 marksmen. as the va
rHous grades are known technically.
In the following year these had in-
creased to 264 expert rifemen, 1,4s9
sharpshooters and 2,4s4 marksmen.
Last year the record stood 500 expert
rifiemen,. 1871 sharpshooters and
s,436 marksmen.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.That the hpn-
or OF the United states Is of more

States Circuit Court here yesterday,
in the habeas corpus proceedings TN

Browne. Browne was formerly en-
Eployed In the customs service in this
city, and was extradited in Canada
and taken to Sing Sing prison to begin
a two.year termSf for conspiracy to de-
fraud the government.

federal authorities in extradittng
Browne for one otfense and incarcer.
atfng him in prison for another as a
trick beneath the dignity of the gov.

When the transport Buford was re-
turning to the Naval wharf yesterday
afternoon from the abortive attempt to
get the transport Sheridan started for
the Coast she nearly ran down the tug
Fearless as the latter was coming off
the marine railway. There were four
vessels in the mix-up and the escape
was narrow one. The Fearless was
backing off the way, the tug Intrepid
assisting, and the two swung across the
channel just as the Buford steamed In
past the lighthouse. Then, to make
matters worse, the tug Slocum backed
out OF the slip from the Navy wharf
| and blocked the rest of the channel
toward which the Buford was swinging
| to avoid the Fearless. The engines OF
the transport were reversed to full
speed astern, this throwing the stern tc
| port and pointing her bows TO take the
Fearless amidshlps. When the Buford
| stopped coming she was less than siS
