The Origin or Chess.
Detroit Frss Pres,.J

The origin of chess Is shrouded In mystery.
There Is but little doubt, however, that its
birthplace was in India. aud that IL Is an Off
spring Of game called cbaturanga, which Is
mentioned in Oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era From India
chess spread into Persia aud thence into A rabia.
and ultimately the Arabs took it into Spain
and the rest of Western Europe The game
was in all probability invented for the purpose
OF illustrating the art Of war.
The Arab legend upon this point is that Il
was devised for the instruction Of q young
despot by his father. learned Brahmin, TO
teach him that a King, notwithstanding HIS
power, was dependent for his safety upon his
subjects. The Greek historians credit the in
vention Of the game 70 Palamedes, who. they
claim, devised IL 10 beguie the tedium Of the

BRIG. GEN. KAUTZ.
A New General Named Yesterday to Sue
ceed Gen. John Gibbon.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Col. Augustus
Valentin Kautz, eighth infantry, was yes
terday appointed brigidier general in place
of General John Gibbon, who retired at
noon at the age of "a years. Gen
eral Kautz is at present president of the
small arms board which meets in New
York.
Gen. Kautz is a native of Germany and
entered the volunteer service as a private
in Co. e, 1st Ohio infantry, June s, 1916.
Two years later he was appointed cadet
in West Point academy, where he gradual
ed, and in '52 he was commissioned sec
ond lieutenant 4th infantry in the per-
manent service. Ten years later found
him colonel of the I'd Ohio volunteer in
fantry, and when he was mustered out OF
the volunteer service, January Is, 1866,
he was soon after appointed lieutenant
colonel of the 34th infantry. In 1869 he
was transferred to the 18th infantry, and
in IA became colonel of the 9Th infantry.
Gen. Kautz was lately stationed in the
department of the Platte and he it was
upon whom Gen. Brook made such hard
fight which recently resulted in no little
scandal in that department.

A Fresh Complication.

WASHINGTON, April 21.- A singular
fact in connection with the Italian matter,
which entirely escaped attention up to the
present time, is that one of the leading
Italians lynched in New Orleans was actu-
ally at the time of his death recognized
consul at that port of foreign government
not that of Italy. Jose Macheca, the
alleged head of the Malta, and most pro-
minent of the victims of the mob, still
stands on the records of the state depart
ment as duly accredited and recognized
consul of Bolivia in New Orleans. He
was q wealthy merchant. His firm of
Macheca Bros. still continue the agency
of one of the most important steamship
lines touching at New Orleans and trading
with South America ports, and ii was
probably from this connection that Ma
checa came to be appointed consul for
Bolivia. The hard fact remains that he
was such consul at the time of his un.
authorized execution. 1t is now in order
for Bolivia to ask for an explanation.
