WONDERFUL TELEGRAPHY.
An Expert Talks of the Recent Interna-
tional Cable Chess Match.

An Expert Talks of the Recent Interna-
tionai Cable Chess Match.
II think the public has not thor.
oughly appreciated the fact that the
Geographic work done in connection
with the recent international chess con-
test between members of congress and
the British parliament was in a num-
Der OF respects the most remarkable feat
of skill ever accomplished in the history
OF telegrahing, said Mr.. M. Marean.
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph company
1t took on an average only ! 3 Sec
onds to transmit the moves between
Washington and London. During the
two days OF the game not single tele-
graphic mistake was made, and the
overland and cable service was without
other than momentary interruption
The line ran from Washington to Heart s
Content, Nova Scotia over the Western
Union system. thence by the Western
Union and Anglo American Cable COM
pany to Valencia, Ireland, thence to the
house of parliament.
Six operators were engaged in the
work, one at each end of the three
lines. When preparation was being
made for the match, twas questioned
whether moves could be telegraphed as
rapidly as is per hour. The service
given demonstrated that there might
have been 100 moves an hour, so far as
their transmission over the ocean was
concerned. OF course authorizations were
used, and no time was lost in sending
either addresses or signatures. WASH

HOW RULERS ARE PAID,
The Car the Richest and King George
the Poorest Sovereign.

the Poorest Sovereign.
King George of Greece, who recently Of
fercd to forogo II portion of his income, is
perhaps the poorest of monarchs. From
his own subjects he receives $780, 900 a
year, and England, France and Russia
together guarantee him an additional $780,
600. The sultan is far better off. He
draws 81, coo, 900 year from the treasury,
and has in addition a large personal rev.
enue. 1t is calculated that he spends at
least 0,000,0 600 annually. His house
hold, which consists of some 5000 per-
sons, must certainly he heavy drain even
upon $40, 900, 900 year. The cars actual
civil list does not exceed So, 000 900 year,
but his private fortune is ut least four
times that amount and he may at will
draw upon the whole resources of Russia.
The German emperor's private fortune
is by no means great, and his subjects al
low him something under S5,0OO,00 a
year. The Austrian emperor Is much
wealthier, both as regards private resources
and state revenue. Italy can afford to pay
her king only $500, 600 year. Fortunate
ly for him, King Humbert has an enormous
private fortune. The king of Portugal is
only passing rich on $3.50, 900 year. The
mikado's civil list amounts to rather less
than $4,000, 900 a year; but, taking Japa-
nese prices into consideration, his income
is equal to quite four times that amount
in Europe. The French president receives
about the same amount as the king of
Portugal, while the president of the great
est republic in the world has to be salts
fed with $50, 000 Even this would seem
magnificent to the chief of the Swiss leg
islature. His modest income is So, 500.
