ENTHUSIASM IN ENGLAND.

LONDON, March 1t-Great enthusiasm
prevailed in the Pillar Hall OF the Can
non-Street Hotel to-day, when, shortly
after the beginning Of play in the in
ternational chess match, the first victory
fell TO England. Ii is generally conceded
that the game was well won. Mr.. Il. Nj.
Jackson. the winner OF the game. Is still
a young man. A few years ago he made
his first public appearance in the oxford
University eight and he has since
won the championship Of the St
Georges Chess Club. The playing
between Pillsbury and Blackburn
was followed with keen interest, and
at 4:30 y. NJ. it was thought that
Pillsbury would draw. About the came
time Bird succumbed 10 a pretty combi-
nation by Burille, who thereby won the
first game for America, leaving the match
at an interesting stage.
The Britishers took their defeat In a
spOrtsmanlike manner, and Sir George
Newens. Bart, said TO those faithful ones
around him that he would send the
trophy to America. and that he and the
British players would try their very best
10 bring the place back to England next
year.

TREACHEROUS SPAN,ARDS.
"A Story of Maceo's Killing Not Creditable
to the Enemy.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Dec ia let
ter has been received by G. NJ. de
Huan, head of the Cuban junta in this
city, giving detailed account of the
assassination Of General Maceo and his
entire staff, with the exception of DR..
Zertucha, who was Maceos physician
The letter came from reliable source
In Havana, but the correspondents
name was not made public
The Marquis Of Ahumada sent a let
ter to General Maceo inviting him to a
conference. Maceo, who was the soul
OF honor, never for a moment thought
that treachery was intended, especially
as the Invitation came from such a
prominent Spaniard as the Marquis of
Ahumada. He Immediately returned
an answer, saying that he would be
glad to meet the Spanish general.
Accompanied by his staff, he went
to the rendezvous, little dreaming of
the awful fate that was in store for
him.
Found Himself in I, Trap.
On arriving at the .trocha the Spanish
soldiers, acting under orders, actually
saluted the rebel chieftain as he passed,
but when he reached the rendezvous
Maceo was surprised 10 see, instead of
the Marquis Of Ahumada, a large body
Of Spanish soldiers, who seemed to
come from every side.
The actions of the troops were so sus-
picious that Maceo felt that he had
been cruelty trapped, and his suspicious
der came from mounted officer.
whose name it was subsequently,
learned was Major Cirujeda, who
dashed up to the gallant Cuban leader
as he stood at bays surrounded by his
staff and demanded an unconditional
surrender
"Never! p was the reply.
Hardly had the words been uttered
when volley after volley was poured
into the little band of patriots, who.
although hemmad in on all sides and
outnumbered almost 100 to /, stuck
spurs to their horses, and with cries of
SCUBA ibre !" rode gallantly to their
death.
MaceO Slain at the First Fire.
the first fire with a bullet through his
head, breaking his jaw. Another bull
let hit him in the abdomen. Both shots
were fatal.
Young Francisco Gomez, son of the
Cuban commaDder.in.chief, was the
next to fall, and in few moments
bloody corpses, all shot almost beyond
was the Spanish fire, were all that re-
manned of the gallant Cubans who had
trusted to Spanish honor.
Only one member Of the staff escaped,
and that was DR.. Zertucha.
The corpses were buried on the field,
and every precaution was taken to keep
the details of the horrible butchery from
being made public.
1t is the opinion of many that this
dreadful assassination of Maceo will do
more to force prompt action on the part
| of the United States in regard to Cuba
than anything :. else tina, could have
happened.

THE Congressional convention al
Larned last week was one of those
bowling affairs where men go to COM
bine business with pleasure. The op-
position if there was any failed to raise
its voice even to a whisper and there was
not the friction of even friendly dis
cussiOn on any question. Simpson was
nominated by reclamation and as soon
as word could be transmitted to the de.
mocratic convention, which was in ses-
sion. and as soon as it was announced
they also nominated him and then
marched in a body over to the populist
convention. Chairman Kies of the
populist convention then gave way and
Charlie Bucher of Newton, chairman
of the democratic convention, took
charge and they enjoyed very warm
and enthusiastic love feast. jerry
made rousing speech and was followed
by Claud Duval who pledged him his
support.
Mr. Simpson never entered a cam
paign under so favorable circumstances
before. The detection in his own
party amounts to nothing, the demo-
Gratis are more united than ever, and
he has the pledges of hundreds Of free
silver republicans, for they say this
district is big enongh to berepresented.
The resolutions declared strongly
that the monetary question should be
the prominent issue in this campaign
and that until that is settled all other
issues should be subservient.

sERRYsIMPsoN,s NOMINATION.

Hon. Jerry Simpson is again can
didate for Congress from the Seventh
district Of Kansas. His nomination by
both the populists and the democratic
conventions is II recognition of his
worth and service.
Mr.. Simpson is much more of man
than many people think. In fact, those
who have read only the eXtrayagant
stories about BIN are always surprised
on meeting him to find him a thorough
man of the world.
Mr.. Simpson is really very different
man from what the fasteners have
painted him. While he is man of the
people, thinking as they think, and liy-
ing as they live, he has unusual shrewd-
ness, and by his self.Cducation, he has
stored away far more knowledge than
the average congressman.
His career in the House of Represen'
tatives has been a very good one. His
Improvement has been steady and since
the first weeks no member who knows
his business has undertaken any liber-
ties with Mr.. Simpson. Some misguided
men have attempted it once, but they
found il was more satisfactory to serve
their country in other ways than stlrr-
ing up the famous Kansan.
Aside from his ability to take care OF
himself, Mr.. Simpson has earned the ad-
miration Of those who know him by his
broad and accurate views on public
questions. 1t is even said to his credit
that of all the speeches made while the
tariff bill was before the House, Mr.
Simpsons was the best. Such Il man
is too valuable to be passed over by his
constituents, and Kansas, as we'll as
Mr.. Simpson, is to be congratulated on
the nomination which practically in
sures the return of Mr.. Simpson to Con
gress from the Seventh dlstrict.-Kan

IT SEEMS assured that another dem
ocratic national ticket is to be put out.
The convention is called for Indianap-
oils early in September. The effect of
this is somewhat doubtful. Henry
Clewes and the Wall Street brok-
ers are jubilant over it, and it is
now our opinion that it is to be used to
their advantage. The leaders Of the
gold democrats, while pretending to
support Bryan or the nominees of the
indianapolis convention, will vote for
Mckinley, and use the gold democratic
ticket only to catch the vote of such
old time eastern democrats who favor
gold, but who would vote for silver
rather than support republican. In
this way they hope to keep this class
of which there are many in the eastern
States, away from Bryan.
