the Two Countries.
TO PROMOTE THEIR INTERESTS
The Chinese Commissary Very Low and

Want of Food.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia telegram
was received at the Japanese legation
this afternoon that an important treaty
had been negotiated between Corea and
japan, which authoritatively defines
the relations of the two countries
toward China. The object of the treaty
is stated in the preamble to be mutual
desire on the part of the emperor OF
japan and the king of Corea to def
nitely fix and determine the attitude OF
each country toward the other with a
view 10 clearly calculating the existing
relations between Japan and Corea
which have been created by the request
which the Corean government has
made 10 the japanese government to
compel the Chinese 10 evacuate Corea.
To secure concerted action for the more
effective accomplishment OF this OBJECT,
the treaty of alliance between the two
countries was signed at Seoul, August
26, by Otori, envoy of Japan, and the
Corean minister of foreign affairs. The
treaty consists of three articles.
Article defines the object of the al
lance to be the strengthening and per-
petuating of the independence of Corea
as an autonomous state, and the pro-
motion of the mutual interest of Japan
and Corea by compelling the Chinese
forces to withdraw from Corea, and by
obliging China to abandon her claim
of right to dominate the affairs of the
country. Article 2 binds the japanese
government to carry on warlike oper-
atoms against China, both offensive
and defensive, and tile Corean govern
ment is bound by the article to afford
the Japanese forces every possible
facility in their movements and TO fur
nish them with supplies Of provisions
at fair remuneration, so far as such
supplies may be needed. BY article 8,
it is provided the treaty shall terminate
as soon as peace shall have been con

dressed to the collector of customs at !
New York, that the reciprocity" con-
dition attached by the new tariff bill

Secretary Carlisle, in letter today
addressed to Senator Catfrey of Louisi-

Ehe Case Has Been Recalled anu VIII
Continue Until Next Week.
SAN Francisco, Cal, Sept. 1.-THE
fate of Antonio Ezeta and three
others, San Salvador refugees, will not
be decided, ia all probability, until
some time next week. Their cases
were recalled in the United States dis
trict court. Judge Morrow had sus-
tanned formal demurrer to defend
ants plea of lack of Jurisdiction. Ar
gument was begun by counsel fer the
government of San Salvador. 1t is not
probable the case Will be submitted be-
fore next week.
General Ezeta proves to have fas-
cinating influence over sentimental
women of a certain class. For several
days past he has been deluded with
tender mIssives and flowers which
have been sent to his hotel by these
admirers. To all appearances these
fiattering attentions have been un-
noticed. The great legal battle, which
means to him life or death, claims his
whole attention. General Ezeta has
received a remittance of $4,000 from
his brother Carlos, the deposed presi-
dent, and is now able to provide for all
wants. He confidently expects to be
released, and his friends openly assert
that within six months ne will be at
the head of another revolution against
the existing government of San Sal

As a result food is becoming very

The Game of Chess.

The origin and history of the game of
chess is involved in much obscurity. Some.
authors say that it was invented during
the siege of Troy to relieve the tediousness
thus imposed upon the Grecian chiefs.
Others refer the invention to the Egyp-
tians and cite a sculpture Of the time of
the building of the Pyramids, where lion
and unicorn are depicted as being deep
in the mysteries of the game. The Chinese
claim the game as one of their inventions,
and SO do several other countries and ma
tions. among them the Ceylonese. They
say that while Ravan, a king of Ceylon,
was undergoing a siege, Seffa, Hindoo
mathematician, invented the game for the
amusement of his royal master, who was
thus enabled to mimic the movements of
his enemies on the tiny battlefield before
him.
Although we can find no definite trace of
the game in England prior to it's introduc-
tion blythe French in the Eleventh cen,
tury, it Is known to have been the court
game all over continental Europe at least.
500 years before. Alphonso, king of Cas-
tile. and Pope Innocent III, both wrote
works on the game, and the second book
printed in the English language was ''The
Game and Playe of the Cheese" Sac
cheiri, Jesuit of Turin, called the ''Chess
Bishop" could play with three different
opponents without seeing one of the
boards, and talk with the company during

,a,,artrv That Made a Fuss.

Whether gallantry is at all times good
thing to display in public is question that
was debated mentally by car full of people
in Broadway Friday night. The car was
bound down town, and at Fourteenth
street it was comfortably filled. 1t was
nearly II o'clock, and the outpouring
crowd from the Star theater supplied
enough more passengers to pack the car
from door to door, Three or four men
were seated. and half a dozen women, all
young, vivacious and apparently robust,
were standing. Everybody was good ma
tured. and as the car bowled along there
was not the slightest manifestation OF dis
comfort. But there was one very gallant
young man who could not let well enough
alone. He was packed snugly between two
women, whose skirts almost concealed the
lower portion of his body.
By frantic efforts he extrlcated himself,
and with polite bow rendered his seat to
a young woman who was contentedly con-
versing with some friends who were also
stantling. She glanced at the vacated
seat, saw about two inches OF space, and
smilingly shook her head. But the gallant
young man insisted, and, in an effort to
make another bow, knocked stout woman
with a bundle off her balance. The woman
fell into the lap of an old gentleman and
the bundle landed among the feathers and
ribbons of a ''love of bonnet" at the
other end of the car
The startled old gentlemen, in trying to
assist the stout woman to her feet, lost his
silk hat. which, in it's downward course,
swept a pair of opera glasses from the lap
of the woman who sat next to him. Mean
while the gallant young man was trying to
apologize to the stout woman. He STUN
bled over the feet of one passenger,
knocked woman's hat awry, and by the
sudden stopping of the car involuntarily
embraced the maiden to whom he had Of
fered his seat There were muttered signs
of discomfort, and the embarrassed gallant
would have left the car but for the masses
of humanity packed between him and the
doors. He therefore swung disconsolately
from strap, humping against this one
and that, and listening to such feminine
CALCULATIONS as "WelL l never!" 'For
goodness sake!" Graciousv' etc. And the
young woman did not take his seat.-New
York Times.
