The Local Clubs Proposition for an

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. S-Some one
in the East has started the report that
the international chess tournament an
nounced for this city, Feb. "a has no back
ing, and casting doubt even on the exist
ence of a local chess club. Some of the
New York papers have taken up the story
and are discredting the tournament with
chess players in that part of the country.
New York men tried to raise 5000 for
prizes and failed. Master chess players
from over the ocean were induced to come
to New York, and were not notified that
only about one thousand dollars would be
awarded. The tournament has just closed.
With characteristic New York narrow con-
ceit 1t is said that no other place could
hold tournament H11 such has, as New York York
has felt called upon to issue an address,
which is as follows:

to prepare resolutions On the death of w.
p. Gallup reported memorial, which was
read and adopted. The report of the law
committee on public parks was also heard
by the board. After investigation the COM
mittee finds that the Indebtedness of the
city is now within 100000 of the constitu-
tional limit of it's indebtedness, including
the $500 600 in bonds issued to aid the Belt
railway. In the opinion of the committee
the Belt railway funds are part of the in
debtedness of the city. This fact practically
settles the question of the city's issuing
bonds for the purpose of building parks,
although the committee hopes TO soon ar
rive at a feasible plan by which the enter
prise can be carried out
This committee also reported that the re-
