Ii HUNG CHANG CHALLENGED.
Gen. Lew Wallace Desires tn P1a!

STecial TO the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind, Aug. 27.-To
help while away the hours OF a sick chamber
Gen. Lew Wallace will head a team Of
chess players. who propose to play a chess
match by telegraph with Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang and party If the latter will
accept the challenge. The Postal Tele-
g~raph-Cable Company. through Vice .Presi-
dent Baker. very kindly says in a letter of
recent date: If 1t be settled definitely
that Earl Ii Hung Chang will accept the
invitation to play the game with General
Wallace this company will be pleased 10
tender the free use of our wires
General Wallace wants to show honor TO
the Nations guest and help TO signalize the
fact that China gave to the world. over
four thousand years ago. the royal game
OF chess. The players will use the tele-
graph (cable) chess code invented by DR..
T. f. Leech. of this city, in which a simple
dictionary word Of not over six letters will
send any move in chess and use the COM
mon English notation. The code can be
had by newspapers wishing to reproduce
the game at 81 per copy.
Hon. John Russell Young writes: II hope
to see him on Saturday and If / can do
anything towards advancing your interest
ing proposal shall not fail TO do So
If arrangements can be made for the
game it will be played in about a week.
At present General Wallace is largely &C.
cupied with a blood boil which has fastened
itself on the hamstring tendon on the inner
side of his right leg.

ANDERSON. Ind. Aug. e1.-The Phillips
Land and Gas Company OF Alexandra
passed into the hands of j. =. Goodrich as
receiver tonight. He gave a bond for
$4,000. The receivership was the result Of
a suit for $40. coo brought by Aaron Camp
field. The company bought Campfeld 5
farm from him and this was the last pay
ment due. Owing to the depression OF the
past few years and the depreciation in me
prices of real estate. il was unable 10
meet the payment. The liabilities are es-
timated as $4,000 with assets of $1,000 IN
real estate. but ii is doubtful IL this can
be realized. Coming so soon after the
Union Steel Company failure for $l.Oo0.VW
1t will have a demoraliZing effect here As

Steel Company collapse. /. +. Watts was
president of the land company.
Still further complications are threatened
in the matter of the failure of the Union
Company. 1t is claimed that the
Steel Trust made the company an offer Of
SOC 600 recently for a lease on a portion OF
its plant. This was accepted. but the
trust later backed out of the deal. 1t is
now claimed that the company. depended
on a part of this $4,000 to pay off some of
the obligations that were being pressed.
A damage suit will now be the result. as
the steel company might have STAYED on
the failure. The matter already is in the
hands of attorneys. 1t seems that the
deal was carried too far to let the trust
slide out of it so easily. The reasons given
by the trust for not carrying out the orig
inal intention was the financial depression
and the improbabilities which shrouded the
future.
