Gun Practice More Real.

by tho valuable result believed to havo
boon obtained by Uio British admiralty
in tho spectaoular sinking of the old

iuu ui iiiuir ruuuiii minting in x uiiiniu,
in which ho reilited various observa
tions ho had mado during his recently
completed trip abroad:
"Tho ono thing that impressed mo
whllo in I;.urope was tho fact that we
Americans do not fully realizo the
greatness of our own land, and its op
portunities, and the greati ess and op
portunilios of our own people as conv
pared with our brethon Jn Europe. Tho
opportunity for tho average man is so
much greater that wo can hardly con
ceive the difference. In Europe a man.
is born in a clas from whero he cannot
encapo, and ho accordingly fits himielf
for that dense. There is stratification
after (Gratification, and it is practically
impossible for an individual to pass
from class to class; and think that the
frebdom of tho American people is one
or the greatest things which we have
here.
"In Italy tho poverty and distress
wero very interesting, although it ex
cited the greatest pity. It seemed as
if there were no end of beggars. They
begged in almost every way imagina
ble. Whole families could be eeen
begging together by means of musical
instruments. In ono case I noticed a
woman holding an umbrella upside
down to catch the coppers, while the
father played the guitar, and the child
ren each 'played some soit of musical
instrument, and all wero begging. Sev
eral husky looking fellows dived into
the eea to got coppers worth about a
half cent, and begged the peoplo to
throw the coppers in. It seemed as if
one-half of the population lived off the
ether half.
"I was very much interested in the
horses. The average horse in Paris for
the heavy draft work ia a very good an
imal indeed. There were great num
bers of magnificent stallions that would
have sold in this market for from two
thousand to three thousand dollars,
and they were all of a very high type.
One thing that impreseed me both in
London and Paris was that the average
coach horse was a much larger fellow
than we have been accustomed to see
for that work. I think that we people
here in America should look toward
breeding a larger animal that we have
in the past, and unless we watch our
selves, we will be inclined to breed
down. In Naples there were -many cab
horses, and about ninety per cent of the
cab horses driven were stallions. Ono
thing that waB very interesting to me
was that they do not use the bit. They
use an instrument that fits over the
nose, and above the nostril is apiece
which extends out about three inches,
and when pulling a horse to stop, they
pull on the nose.
"In going up the Tiber river north
df Rome, almost every wagon that I
met was being dr iwn by oxen, either
by tandem, or with a yoke. The oxen
were all very strong fellows, quite
large, well built, and had huge horns
rising above their heads. There did
not seem to be the beef type of cattle,
nor was there any milk type. I sup
pose their cows, were, of course, used
for milking purposes, but they were
not apparently bred to either type, but
rather to the ox type.
"The poorer class of Italians do not
know what it is to have meat in any
quantity. The average man is.too poor
to be able to buy beef, aa they would
have to pay not less than twenty-two
cents a pound for it. Kids are used for
flesh there a great deal. The swine
there were very large, and rather more
of the type of the bacon hoc; than like
our Berkshires or Poland Chinas. They
use goats' milk a great deal, and es
pecially in Naples. In the morning
you would see women and men driving
goats around from place to place, as
the customer has the privilege of hav
ing the operation of milking performed
in his presence. The goat selected is
milked, and in many cases you will see
a goat being taken up in an elevator, or
up a stairway, wherever Uie customer
may be, and then milked in his pias
ence. "In Italy the tillage is of a very in
tensified kind. There, many of tho
Italians have their own vegetable gar
den, and raise their own vegetables.
Hore wo pay twelve or fifteen cents a
head for cauliflower, and in Italy you
can buy a dozen heads of cauliflower
for six cents, and that will make it
cleat why tho Italian is able to live on
a vegetable diet bo well. The peoplv
train their vineyards upon trees, and
in many cases there is hardly any top
to the trees, as they had been cut dewn
to stumps for the vines to climb on. I
did not get a docont apple to eat until
I was on board tho Bhip, and had Eorae
Oregon apples served .to mo."

Heney Proves Inaction of Hall In
Certain Cases.
SENATOR KNEW FILINGS ILLEGAL
Burke and Goslin Indicted, by District
Attorney on Perjury Charge,
But Never Prosecuted.
Portland, Jan. 28. Senator Fulton
waa again dragged into tho conspiracy
case of John H. Hall and Edwin Maya
yesterday by Special Prosecutor Heney.
By tho testimony of W. E. Burke and
William G. Goslin, former agents for
A. B. Hammond, timberland specu
lator, and at one time president of the.
ABtorla & Columbia River railroad, it
was shown that late in 1899 and during
1900 Fulton appeared as attorney for
Buike and Goslin and two others, who
had been indicted by Hall on a charge
of conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment by perjury.
Burke and Goslin testified that in
September, 1899, they induced 20 tran
sient male residents of the North End
to file ..on as many timberland claims
for a consideration of $2 each for their
services, with Uie express understand
ing that the claims so filed on thould
bo held for a time and relinquished,

tives of Hammond, procured lieu land
scrip to cover the land included in the

RAILROADS ASK FOR TIME.
Want to Test Law Against Owning of
Coal Mines.
Washington, Jan. 21. The operating
vice presidents of many of the large
railroads of the country were received
by President Roosevelt yesterday and
presented a request that in execution
what is known as the comity amend
ment of the railroad rate law bill one
case be brought against the roads by
the government, this case to be finally
disposed of by the Supreme court of the
United States. This, if agreed to by
the government, would mean that the
railroads owning coal producing lands
would not sell them by May next, as
reqnired by law, but could operate
them as heretofore until the disposal of
the test cases. The law in question is
regarded by Uie roads as unconstitu
tional.
The president referred the railroad
men to the Interstate Commerce com
mission, whpre it is understood Uie
question will be fully discussed and a
report made to the president as to the
lewal possibility of carrying out the
suggestion made.
