and 1t can be said with safety that nothing short of SO per cent. will be considered and any shooting below that will hardly attract notice. The diff culty Is that there has been no practice outside the organizations of the 1st regiment and 1t is feared that 1t is go- ing to be very difficult for any of the others to make the record. and even if they should happen to there will be grave doubt about their being able to hold up In the national shoot and it is especially desired that the Alabama team should make at least a passable record st Sea Girt. Captain Mickle will be sadly handicapped if he goes to the national match with men with out the necessary record that can be depended on and next in importance with men who know the rules of the shoot and who will be able 70 comply with all the requirements. With the new law and increased appropriation it Is hoped that before another year rolls round that Alabama will have rifle ranges easily accessible to all the or ganizations and that the men can per- feet themselves in small arms firing if they desire, and will take the time to do #.
 Many of Colonel Bricken's staff officers are experienced and tried men, AAA dAA OA blAC LII dHCllOS or the SGTNlCS and his commissary Captain J. Hunt Taylor, has had much valuable expert ence. as he went with the Provisional Regiment to Manassas and was closely identified with the caring for and feed ing of the men during that season of most active an strenuous service. His experience there will come in well now and will not fail to have its effect in the management at this years camp. With his father. Captain Frank G. Taylor. who is noted for his good bus mess qualities and for looking after details, there can be nothing but suc- cess in the management of the sec ond's affairs. Colonel Bricken has been peculiarly fortunate in the selection of his helpers. and his Adtutant. Cap tain w W. Brame, has done most ex- cellent service in that most difficult and important of all positions.

RATE REGULATION IN FRANCE

The condition OF railway Regulation
in France are entirely different from
those encountered in Great Britain.
The English railroads, like those in
the United States, are owned by pri-
vate corporations. The gOvrnment Of
neither country has responsibility for
its railroads, and IS only indirectly af-
fected byany general movement in rail-
way revenues Regulation in Great
Britain and the United States can,
therefore, proceed without reference to
the public revenus-
In France, however, conditions are
different While the government

has complete control over all rates,
yet, because it has assumed response
bility for the fixed charges Of all
French railroad companies, the gov
eminent is compelled to have in mind
the effect OF any general measure OF
rate adjustment upon the finances Of
the railroads concerned. The French
are the most logical people in the
world. and this national habit OF mind
nowhere appears more clearly than
in their relations with their railroad
companies. The government asserts
full control over every rate. no appeal
being permitted from its decision, and
although the ultimate authority over
the conduct OF their business does not
rest with the stockholders. yet their
interests are fully protected by the
guarantee OF the dividends by the
state. At the present time the
amount Of these governmental ad-
vances is &14.OOO.OOO, and as high as
S2O,OOO,OOO has been required in one
year to meet deficiencies in railway
revenue It is hardly necessary to say
that with this responsibility always
before him, the minister OF public
works pursues a cautious policy in his
exercise OF the rate making power
As far as the practical working OF
the system is concerned. 1t appears to
be satisfactory. The French people
are used to regulation No serious
friction has developed between the
railroads and the government. and

govern the approval Of a change In

LOCOMOTIVE EXPORTS TO CHINA
AND JAPAN.

The industrial awakening Of the
countries Of the far east, in particular
China and Japan, is indicated in the
increase Of exports Of locomotives to
those countries from the United tSates

show a large percentage Of gain in the
shipments to China, though the total
value is not large, being. for the ten
months ending with October, &166, O75,

TWO FRONTIER INCIDENTS.

Days Recalled When There Was
Something Doing in Dodge.
Judge Edward FentOn COlbOrn, now
Of salt Lake, but an OId-time Kansan,
tells this one on Bat MastersOn:
In early days at Dodge City Bat was
something Of a practical joker as well
as a gun player. An old character,
such as may be seen hanging about
saloons, sat one day in a chair in
the Last Chance leaning against the
wall He was a great fellow to brag
about how brave he was and that he
had many nOtChes to his credit cut in
his gUnstOck.
MastersOn wanted to try the nerve
OF the old fellow, so he placed a can
non freCracker under his chair. light
ed the fuse and then, to attract the
lOafer's attention, handed him a new
gun to look at The firecracker went
of with a bang that shook the walls.
The old fellow leaped into the air like
a winged Indian, and, throwing the
gun to the floor, made for the door,
yelling: I'm killed! I'm killed.
This is another Of Judge COlborn's
stories:
When Dodge City was way out
west, and hardly a night passed but
that someone was killed, two desper-
ate men met at a bar. They had had
some trouble before, and no further
words were necessary. The thing in
those days was to shoot on sight
One OF the men pulled his gun and
fired, but his aim was bad, and the
bullet struck the other man in one Of
his legs The man who had received
the wound made better work-of it and
put a bullet through his enemy's
breast. He staggered, MORALLY
wounded, and cried out:
You have killed me-
Quick the answer came back from
the one who was shot in the leg:
You haven't got any the best Of
me, you cur. I'm killed, tOof''
But he still Hves-Denver News.

COAL HEARING REPORT
NOT FOR THIS CONGRESS
Interstate Commerce Commission Not
Prepared to Comply With Senator
Tillman's Request.

The Interstate Commerce Commission,
which returned this morning after its
weeks investigation at Philadelphia, in
to the bituminous coal situation IN the
West Virginia and western PennsyI-

Congress, as requested by Senator TIL
man. at this session in regard to this
phase Of the general coal and oil busI-
ness.
The report was particularly desired for
the influence II might have son railroad
rate legislation. Now that the big fight
on that is over in the Senate. Il IS
believed that Senator TIlman will not
press for an immediate report by the
commission.
The commission is now in position
to submit a report as ID the mutual
ownership of stocks among the rail-
roads. But this feature is rather un-
important as compared with the graft
of officials Of railroads in coal com
panies. It is understood that the Bal
timore and Ohio officials are to be
recalled to the stand shortly, 10 answer
some very important questions suggest
