MILLIONS DIE BY BUBONIC
draining Makes Sharpshooters,
Handful of Whom Could Fight
Army Camp Perry Puts Skill
to Very Severe Test.
CAMP PERRT. Port Clinton. O.. Aug.
17. (Staff Correspondence.) One thousand
of America's best riflemen are under can
vas on the south shore of Lake Bile' for
participation in the National rifle tourna
ments, which are now being got under
way. From Florida to Maine and from
Oregon to New Mexico men who can
drive a bullet straight have made the pil
grimage to Camp Perry to try for a Na
tional trophy or a medal of honor. Teams
from the regular Army, Marine Corps,
NavyVand United States training schools
and from nearly every state in the Union
are here to enter the struggle for suprem
acy. The competition will be watched with
interest, not only in the United States,
but abroad. The value of the present-day
soldier is determined by his ability to
shoot straight. The flshting ability of
Uncle Sam's regular and volunteer forces
may therefore be largely judged by the
marksmanship displayed during the tour
nament. Government Foots Bills.
The tournaments are fostered by the
Government, which foots most of the
bills. The various competitions are
planned and conducted by the National
Board for the Promotion of Rifle Prac
tice. The benefits extend not only to
those that are actively engaged on the
range, but to the thousands of guards
men and regulars throughout the coun
try, who try to win places on the, vari
ous teams. It is a movement to develop
a nation of sharpshooters and since one
sharpshooter Is worth from five to ten
ordinary shots in actual service, the value
of the training Is obvious, tacperts ae
clare that the 1000 riflemen In camp here
could be pitted against a brigade success
fully.
During the five years that the National
shoots have been held interest In marks
manship has spread rapidly. The first
tournament at Sea Ulrt, A. J., attracted
comparatively few teams. The second
year brought a marked Increase of at
tendance, and this year the majority of
the state guards are represented. Sev
eral civilian shooting organizations are
also on hand.
Wind Tests Men's Skill.
The Camp Perry range is in many re
spects ideal for the National tournaments.
It hugs the south shore of Lake Brie,
several miles west from Sandusky, O., and
the targets are so arranged as to give the
marksmen a northern light all day. The
wind, which seems perennial, makes it
necessary for marksmen to use their Judg
ment in rating it. The sharpshooter who
has found himself able to score a bullseye
every shot in calm weather is apt to find
himself ridiculously low in his first few
tryouts here. With a 6 o'clock wind one
instant and the indicator at 8 o'clock one
second later, the successful marksman
must keep his wits about him every in
stant that he is on the line.
This difficult condition Is regarded as al
together desirable in official circles,' in
asmuch as it throws the competitors on
their resources and increases their utility
for active service where all manner of
conditions might have to be contended
with. The man who can clip a hole in an
eight-Inch bullseye at from 500 to 1000
yards during a gale can be depended upon
to perforate the head of a foe under most
any conditions. And It is for just such
unhappy work that the marksman is
trained, for so long as the world is tena
cious of its barbarian Instincts and insists
upon breeding wars now and then it is
well to be prepared. There is no better
course of training for soldiers than to
teach them to shoot.
Oregon Team at Practice.
Oregon's Infantry team, one of the first
to get on the ground, is ready, aiier sev
eral days of preliminary work on the
range, to enter the National competitions.
The men have become adjusted to the
conditions obtaining on the Ouio range.
In this they have had to overcome con
siderable difficulty In mastering changes
of wind velocity. The breezes work 24
hours a day and change in velocity pos
sibly a dozen times an hour. To learn
the trick of cheating the T.ind in firing
Is no trifling feat. Thus far the Ore
gonians have piled up good scores on
long and short distant ranges as well as
In slow and rapid tiring. There is every
indication that the team will give an ex
cellent account of itself.
At Sea Girt last year the Oregon
marksmen finished ahead of 23 competing
rule teams of the 42 entered in the Na
tional competition. The state has an
even stronger team this year and is confi
dent of making an even better showing.
First place, of course, is not even
thought of, although Oregon Intends to
finish ahead of say oo of the 45 teams
entered. Adjutant-General VV. E. Finzer
is in command of the team, with jTirst
lieutenant G. EL Houch as coach. Thus
far the team has confined .ls preliminary
work to skirmish runs, making a team
average of 70 out of a possible 100.
The Washington team is camped a
short distance from ti.o Oregon camp,
and the Montana delegation is near at
hand. A Caiuornia team is expected
shortly. The states that already have
their teams in the field are New Tork,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Delaware,
Maryland. North Carolina, Georgia, New
Hampshire, Vermont. Massachusetts, Il
linois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Arkan
sas, Colorado and Oklahoma. Additions
to the list are being made dally. The reg
ular service teams are all nere and In
clude representations from the cavalry.
Infantry, navy, marine corps. West .oint
and Annapolis.
Sounds Like Ileal Battle.
From now until well along Into Septem
ber the Camp Perry range will be a
battlefield, so far as sounds ' are con
cerned. From the opening of the range
at 7 A. M. until nearly dark an Incessant
rifle fire is being Kept up. Bvery shot
fired costs an average of four cents and
a fraction, so that tne cost to the Gov
ernment runs into thousands of dollars
per day for ammunition alone. The men
engaged In the shoot receive regular
army pay, which falls far short of meet
ing their expenses, so that it is neces
sary for tne riflemen to make consider
able sacrifice in attending the tourna
ment. The rifle matches of the National Rifle
Association and of the Ohio Rifle Asso
ciation are being held in conjunction with
the National tournament, which opens
August 28. The Oregon team will be
among the competitors in ine National

Plague's Ravages In India Call
Forth Message From King.
LONDON. Aug. 19. (Special Cable Dis
patch to the New York Sun.) The bu
bonic plague in Indiai statistics of which
have from time to time been printed by
the Sun. has reached such a pitch that
although the most 'extreme efforts have
been made to cope with the disease. King
Edward has written to the Viceroy a let
ter which is made public today. It says:
'My Dear Viceroy: I have followed with
anxious Interest the later course of that
epidemic by which India for 11 years past
has been so sorely afflicted. The welfare
of my Indian subjects must ever be to
me an object of high concern, and I am
deeply moved when I think of the misery
that has been borne with such silent pa
tience in all those stricken homes.
"I am well aware how unremitting have
been the efforts of your excellency's pre
decessors and yourself to make out the
causes of the pestilence and mitigate its
effects.
"It is my earnest hope and prayer that
the further measures now being prepared
by your excellency in consultation with
zealous and able officers may be crowned
with merciful success. I desire that you
communicate this expression of my heart
felt sympathy to my Indian subjects. Be
lieve me, sincerely yours.
"EDWARD R. I."
The figures of the plague mortality, as
given in the latest blue book, are appall
ing. From 52,800 deaths In 1900. the
deaths had grown in 1904 to 1.143,900. In
1905 there was a decrease to 1.069.100, but
the present year, it is feared, will show
record proportions. In the first three
and a half months of 1907 there were
495,000 deaths recorded. The total re
corded deaths from 1SS9 to 1905 were
4,177,200.
UNITE FOR LABOR PEACE
Van Cleave Starts Movement to Com
bine All Employers.
Is'BW TORK. Aug. 19. Delegates from
various manufacturing and employers'
associations met here today and dis
cussed the proposition to form a National
federation which shall have for its pur
pose the furtherance of peace in the In
dustrial world by combining the efforts of
all the employing Interests. The meeting,
which was held behind closed doors, at
the Waldorf-Astoria, was presided over
by James W. Van Cleave, of St. Louis,
president of the National Association of
Manufacturers. After a general discus
sion of the proposition. It was decided to
adjourn In order to permit the delegates
to return to their homes and consult with
the organizations which they represent
regarding the projected National federa
tion.
The meeting today was called by the
National Association of Manufacturers,
which met here last May. Mr. Van
Cleave said today's meeting was called
to form an organization which would en
deavor to "institute an educational cam
paign, which would endeavor to promote
industrial peace and mutual goodwill be
tween employers and employed."
He said that the organization did not
propose to crush labor unions. Officers
of the National Association of Manufac
turers hope to Induce the new federation
to incorporate the platform of the manu
facturers' association, which, in part,
stands for the open shop, no limitation
of output, no boycott and no sympathetic
trlkes.
HARRIMAN FOOLS NEWPORT
Lets Steward Take High Dive So
ciety-Wants to See.
NEWPORT, Aug. 16. All Newport, or
at least the curious part of it, sat
up until 6 o'clock this morning on the
strength of a statement that Edward H.
Harriman was going to do a high dive
for his nerves from the main truck of his
yacht, the Sultana, which arrivea yester
day. At 6 o'clock this morning rowboats,
launches with muffled engines, and all
kinds of spyglasses were out.
Suddenly there was a splash and the
boats began circling about a figure in
the water.
"Where is Mr. Harriman?" shouted a
man with a megaphone.
"He's not aboard, sir," came back In
a gurgling answer.
"And who are you?" Insisted the mega
phone man.
"I'm the steward, sir," the answer
came straight and true; 'but I'm a goner,
if you people don't get back and give me
a chance to get on deck again.
Mr. Harriman Is just now In California,
but Newport doesn't mln cat; it saw
a Bteward take an early morning plunge.

broad and National lines, lire
tion Congress has long been a forestry
congress, because of the close connec
tion which exists between the preser
vation of the forests and the use of
water so conserved for Irrigation. It
is now recognized that there is a com

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23. Errors
on the part of the trial court are as
signed as reasons by the Supreme
Court for reversing the Judgment which
