CHESS BY CABLE
The Great international Match Resulted In
Draw


Draw
New York, March 9.-The cable chess
match between the Manhattan Chess
Club of this city and the British Chess
Club resulted in draw. When play
ceased at 80 o'clock one game was
finished its result being draw, and
the other games were left in such a
doubtful state when play was stopped
that decision was considered impossi-
BILE. When Lasker was asked at London
to adjudicate upon these games he pro-
posed that the match be called draw,
as the adjudicating OF the remaining
games could not be satisfactory to either
club. The proposition was accepted and
the match declared drawn.
Hundreds of chess players from all
parts of the country were at Manhattan
Club throughout the day. The arrange
ments were excellently carried out and
the whole event went off in the best posi-
BILE and agreeable manner

MINISTER RAxsosrs ILLNESS.

1t May Result In His RcxiEning the
Mexican Mission.
1t is reported that Mr.. Ransom, U. S.
minister to Mexico, is seriously ill at his
home in North Carolina, but the report
cannot be verified at this end of the line.
Mr.. Ransom is advanced in years, and has
not been in good health for some time.
His visit to the City of Mexico was in
furious 20 his health, and the rarified at
mosphere at that capital affected his heart
SO seriously that his physician would not
allow him to remain there. He obtained
leave of absence and came home to re-
cuperate. There is considerable doubt as
to his return to Mexico, and it is almost
certain that he will be compelled to re-
linquish the mission unless his health un-
dergoes material improvement, as it is
not likely he can stand the climate of the
City of Mexico in his present enfeebled
state. His illness may prove only tenn
poiary. however, and he may soon re-
cover his health, in which event he will
undoubtedly return to his diplomatic post.
The Mexican mission has many attractions,
not the least of which is the salary at
tachment of $780, equivalent to $4,000
in Mexican silver.

THE CASE OF CHAPMAN.
1t Will Probably Not Come Up Before
Next Wednesday.

Next Wednesday,.
It is doubtful if the trial of Broker Ell
verton R. Chapman, one of the indicted
contumacious sugar trust witnesses, will
be proceeded with next Monday. The case
was set down by Judge Cole several weeks
ago for trial before him next Monday, pro-
vided, of course, District Attorney Birney
and Messrs. Shellabarger & Wilson, coun-
sci for Mr.. Chapman, were ready for trial
that day. Both Mr.. Wilson and District
Attorney Birney are engaged in the How
gate case, which Will hardly be concluded
before Tuesday afternoon Wednesday
morning, so it Is more than likely that
Judge Cole will on Monday postpone the
Chapman case until Wednesday.
Mr.. Birney stated to a Star reporter to-
day that there was not the slightest truth
in the printed statement that he had with
drawn from the Chapman case and had
placed Assistant District Attorney Hugh
r. Taggart in charge of it. In view of his
other engagements, which had occupied so
much of his time, he had requested Mr.
Taggart to assist him in the case. Assist
ant Attorney General Dickinson would
also assist him in the mana ge-
District Attorney Tracey l.. Jeffords: Upon
the conclusion of the Chapman case which
Mr.. Birney believes will be concluded with
in weeks time, he stated he would call
the case of Billy Williams, Desmond and
Auffort, charged with robbng the office of
the Washington Steamboat Company, and
after that probably, the case of Patterson,
Wells and Auffort, charged with burning
the steamer Lady of the Lake last Febru-
ary.
Those cases disposed of, Mr.. Brpey said,
he would try parties in jail awaiting trial,
hoping to conclude all of them before the
first of July, as no jury cases are expected
to be tried during July or August.

A NATIONAL LEAG UE
It Will Direct Democratic Silver
Clubs.
Result of n Conference Mt Memphis
Last Night-Plans to BE
Carried Out.

MEMPHIS, June IA meeting was, in
the Gayoso Hotel. held late last night by
q number of prominent democrats from
the various states. 1t was decided to or
ganize a National Bimetallic League, for
the purpose of giving directions to and re-
ceiving reports from all democratic BIZ
metallic leagues and clubs of the country,
and to encourage the formation of leagues
in all the counties of the various states.
Senators Harris of Tennessee, Turpie of
Indiana and Jones of Arkansas, with sew
eral others. were made a committee to ap-
point democrat from each state to form
a national executive committee to carry
out the plan of organization.
The Position of Democrats.
At the session of the silver convention
last night the letter from Senator John
T. Morgan of Alabama was presented
but not read on account of the press of
business of the convention. In it the Sena-
tor says:
I'VE invite all the friends of money that
was sound until silver was struck below
the fifth rib by jealous brother and hav-
ing survived the assassin is still sound to
come into the democratic camp and to aid
us in healing the. wounded feeling of the
able. servant of the people. 1t should be
considered just reproach to an old-fash-
ioned Jackson democrat to go outside the
silver, or ito defend our time -honored and
time-proven doctrine to these metals,
but when the President passes the thresh-
old and oversteps the line with our colors
in his hands it is our duty to follow him
and rescue them from the diShonored posi-
ton of sheltering a 'mugwump' demonstra-
ton.
More than 90 per cent of the democratic
Senators in the body when Senator Harris
and 1 entered it were II favor of the i'm
mediate and full restoration of the law of
1897, signed by Jackson. There was not
then a single gold standard democrat in
that body. There are some there now; only
few, and they are wearing silver masks
to disguise themselves, but the great body
of democrats in the Senate from that day
to this have upheld the old democratic
creed Of 1887, that gold is the only safe
and constitutional currency.
The National Zeitung of Berlin says that
replies have been received by the govern

TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS.
Secretary Olncy VIII Not Receive
Visitors on Those Days.

Secretary Olney has decided to reserve
Tuesdays and Fridays-cabinet days-en-
tirely to the consideration of official busi-
ness, and will not receive visitors on those
days, except in cases where the business
to be presented cannot be postponed. He
will endeavor, SO far as possible, to confine
the consideration of public business to the
regular hours of labor, SO as to have the
nights for rest and recreation.
The closing of his office to visitors on
cabinet days is in accordance with a rule
promulgated by President Cleveland in
April, 1893, which directed the closing of
the offices Of all the members of the cab
met on Tuesdays and Fridays, in order
Ito promote the uninterrupted and more
efficient transaction of the business of the
departments" This rule was strictly OBJ
served for short time, and of late has
been more honored in the breach in most
of the departments. This was especially
the case with the State Department, Sec
retary Gresham receiving visitors on all
days alike.
Secretary Olney thinks well of the rule,
however, and will undertake to enforce it.
He feels that he will need the few hours
preceding and following the session of the
cabinet for the dispatch of business con-
sidered thereat.

The principal objection made by the book

chance for unjust removals. The answer
made to this by the civil service commits
sioners was that the operating cause for

tical working of the Baltimore post office,
