closed and before Mr. Teed announces his verdict
It might be stated that all the problems entered for
competition unless considered unworthy OF puoIica-

those which on examination prove to be totally I'M
sound.
The Tribune readers are therefore Invited to
scrutinize these problems carefully, as they might
find some serious faults overlooked by the judge In
his first review OF the problems. and any reader
who likes to take the trouble OF Analysing the
problems with a view Of presenting such review
to the Judge need only forward all he has to say
on the subject and care will be taken to hand 1t
to the Judge.
The Unexpectedly large MI ,ber OF entries is
gratifying. as 1t proves that widespread interect Is
taken In the chess column. which, the correspond
shows, Is being read all over the country from
Maine to the Golden Gate. AS 1t is intended to
publish two problems weekly until all worthy can

will have three-movers to work upon for the

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT
The caucus Last night was the one
topic Of discussion in political circles
today. Perkins friends claim that the
question is settled, while Frank Stone,
for De Young, laughs at the idea and
insists that he can name enough votes
to nominate De Young, but he refuses
to make public his plans or the names
Of his henchmen. Nothing Of import
ance will transpire in the matter until
the return OF the members on Monday.

enough Democratic votes pledged to his
man to nominate in event of dead
lock. He, with Senator Perkins and his
secretary. left for San Francisco tonight,

SANTA ANA, Jan. 1.-THE Republic
ans in this county are considerably
agitated over the action of Representa-

lican caucus at Sacramento yesterday.
The Orange County Herald, the lead.
ing Republican paper in this county, in
referring to this matter will say:
1--WE confess, without being familiar
with the circumstances which prompted
it, that the sudden departure of Nc
Kelvey from the caucus at so critical q
moment is great disappointment tc
the Republicans here. The people OF
Orange county certainly expect him to
vote and work for George G. Perkins fol
United States senator in all gatherings
where he can possibly do so, and will
not accept any timely attack of the
'mulligrubs' as an excuse for not per.
forming his duty"
The following dispatch was sent from
here to McKelvey today:
Charles 8. McKelvey, Sacramento, CAL:
The citizens OF Orange county desire
to know how to construe your action in
refusing to join the caucus with friende

ST. JOINS, N. F., Jan. 1.-THE gov
eminent has begun an investigation
against the correspondents OF the lead
ing American newspapers, who are &C
cused OF sending abroad reports OF the
colony's financial straits. The govern
ment ia acting on an absolute law oil
newspaper libel, unused in England for
70 years, and is trying to compel the
telegraph companies to reveal the names
OF correspondents and the contents OF
the dispatches.
An operator of the Anglo-Americsn
Telegraph company was summoned be-
fore Magistrate Prowse and the names
Of the correspondents and their papers
were demanded. The operator refused
first to give them, but when a warrant
was issued for his commitment he con.
fessed. His lawyer had been refused
admittance. and he was helpless.
Today the general superintendent OF
the company was subpenaed and or~
dered to produce his books and papers.
He went to the magistrates court, but
refused to produce the booke, contending
that only a supreme judge has the au-
thority to compel him TODD so.
Local newspapers tell the government
that it had far better devote it's energies
to formulating measures for the relief Of
the destitute than prosecuting men on
whose efforts they will mainly have to
rely for stimulating outside assistance.
