Blackburne Congratulated for Defeat
ing Pillsbury.

LONDON, March 14-At the international
chess match to-day the attendance was far
larger than yesterday The hall was crowded
with experts and amateurs, who watched
closely for the announcement of results. The
first victory, that Of Jackson over Baird. was
loudly cheered, but the triumph of Black
burne over Pillsbury was the most popular
feature CT the day. There was general cheer
ing and clapping of hands when this was
bulletined. Newnes, the well-known chess
player, quickly grasped Blackburne's hand
at the conclusion of the game and congratu-
lated him on the result. Others present who
joined in the congratulations were Guns
burg and Atherley-Jones. member of Parlia-
ment for Durham. Atherley-Jones was ac-
companied by his wife. who was an inter-
ested spectator. A number Of other ladies
from different parts Of England who are

TO HEAD OFF GERMANY.
Another Reason Given for the Sudden
Advance ON DOngOla.

Advance ON DOngOla.
NEW YORK, March ia special to the
World from London says: The advance on
Dongola and against Khalifa's dervishes has
taken most people in Great Britain COM
pletely by surprise. On the same day that
the Cairo correspondent Of the Times made
public this sudden move OF the Egyptian
government, Lord Cromer's report was sent
to Parliament. in which he declared that the
dervishes were maintaining a strictly de-
fensive position.
The British Ministry pending Mr.. Cham
berlain's promised statement Monday night.
allows two quite plausible explanations to be
semi-officially announced. One is that the
success of the Abyssinian Negus will most
likely encourage his neighbor the Khalifa,
to a descent on Egypt, and that 1t is best to
strike before he is prepared to do so. The
other Is that England is disposed to do Italy
a friendly turn by diverting the dervishes
from their threatened union with Menelek
There is another and very startling ex-
planation, which comes to me from a source
at least in a position to be we'll informed,
which 1 quote with much reserve, but of
which several unusual recent events give re-
markable confirmation. This is that German
intrigues against Great Britain in the Soudar
have been brought to the knowledge Of the
Ministry. and that it has determined to in
augurate an instant and effectual estcppel on
the Kaiser's hostile plsns.
Everywhere it has be en- the subject of gen.
eral comment that Sir William Harcourt,
the Liberal leader in the Commons, has
given. contrary TO the general Liberal policy,
his support to the new and great naval
scheme OF the opposition. A picture Of the
proposed new feet published In one Of the IL
- l.
II seems really that of a great nations en-
tire navy, and not merely that of an addi-
ton to the present equipment. The story as
it reaches me is that Sir William was ready
to oppose the enormous expediture necessary
for all this, and had announced his intention
to his followers, when representations were
made to him by Ministers of such peril to
the empire from Germany that he unexpect-
edly and altogether withdrew his opposition.
He has since, il my Information is correct,
guardedly communicated his information to
some of his colleagues. His reported counsel
is that Ito effectively obstruct the new naval
scheme might bring the country within risk
of a great catastrophe and he has clearly
indicated that the Kaisers comprehensive
plans in Africa form = sufficient basis for
ministerial measures against them.
OF course. recent reports from Berlin of
the Kaiser's hope to build great navy in
spite Of the opposition Of the Reichstag.
his known colonial aspirations and his
overt hatred and jealousy OF England. lend
further credence to the above report 1t is
even more certain that II the danger out
lined Is made oflcially known to the Brit
ish people the outburst OF feeling for war
with Germany will be Tar more intense than
that after williams telegram to Dom Paul.

The reign of Queen Victoria, which
now has been longer than that of any
other sovereign of Great Britain and its
dependencies, spans by far the most in
teresting period of the same duration in
the history of humanity. Its striking
events include most of those which
have substantially revolutionized the
business and social life of the civilized
world. It should be a matter of pride
to those concerned that by far the
greater number of discoveries and adj
vances that have contributed toward
this result have been the work of rep
resentatives of the two great English
speaking nations-Great Britain and
the United States. While claiming cred
it for showing the world the way to
greatness under a republican form of
government, we of the model republic
may rightfully regard Victoria as the
model constitutional monarch.

Natural Wadding.

A Penobscot County man tells an
amusing boyish experience in the Lew
iston Journal. He and young friend
went cunning one fine fall day. They
had old-fashioned, muzzle-loading guns,
and wadding was a necessary part of
the outfit.
We came across a big hornets nest
like climbed up and pulled it down for
wadding. We talked about the merits
of different kinds of wadding, and de-
cided that hornets nests, material
provided by nature, was the best. We
concluded to lay in good stock Of it,
and began to break it up.
From the inside of the nest we shook
out quantity of the biggest hornets /
ever saw, the ferocious kind that have
black bands around long brown body;
but they were stiff, as if frozen, and
we didn't mind them at all. We turn
ed them all out, and sat down to rest
and make our new wadding into nice
little rolls.
We sat talking in merry good humor
for while, when all Of a sudden Fred
screamed like wild Indian and jump
ed as much as three feet from the
ground. He gave another yell and,
striking to right and left on his thighs,
started on a wild run for home.
It was the hornets. He had CHANGED

fell, and they warmed up from contact
