READY FOR INTERNATIONAL CHESS
Congressman Will Begin Working
the Wires This Afternoon.

=. WASHINGTON, May e39.-Some time was
spent today by Manager Maren, OF the West
ern Union Telegraph company, in perfecting
arrangements for the transmission and re-
ceipt of messages to and from the London Of
fee in connection with the international chess
game between the picked teams Of the house
of representatives and the British house of
commons which will begin tomorrow at
o'clock Washington time The telegraph in
struments have been put into the room oc-
cupied by the house committee on commerce,
which Is sufficiently commodious to COM
fortably accommodate the players, the tele-
graph officials and the few other persons who
will be admitted. The Office was in direct
communication with Hearts Content, Nova
Scotia the American terminus of the At
lantic cable and the messages exchanged to-
day were handled with an expedition that
gave assurance Of being able to transmit
the announcements Of the moves at both ends
of the line with sufficient celerity to keep
the game moving according to the schedule
time The messages exchanged today related
to securing a mutual understanding OF the
form in which announcements were to be
made 1t was agreed that the five boards
should be designated by numbers, No. 1, NO
2, etc., and that the moves should be specl-
fled by the numerical designative adjectives
as first, second etc. Some Of the members
of the house, who will represent the Ameri-
can end Of the contest, were also at the
capitol, keeping an eye on the telegrapnlc
preparations and experimenting briefly on
operations. While they are generally hope
full of the outcome, they realize that their
British antagonists enjoy some advantages
over them from greater practice as we'll

Genins followed with q. grounder dan

right side for safe one. It went foul
far enough afterwards for Frank to
score before Parrot got the ball into
play again. Keener gave the locals a

lively in the second, but Holhngsworth

In the fifth the locals had chance
to tie, Butler dropping Hollingsworth's s
fly. but Holly wanted to get to second
on 1t, and went out.
In Columbus half, McGill struck out
two more, Fisher tanning as though the
ball was actually invisible.
In the sixth the locals took the lead,
temporarily, good singles by Nyce and
George, Glasscock's sacrifice and Par
rott's rare homer beyond the right foul
flag giving Keener a touch of high
life which was short, but not saccha-
rine. Hulen varied his order of strike
outs by waiting out four bad ones, but
was prettily caught trying to steal sec
ond. The next two went into the air
and out. With two out in the seventh.
Mcbride hit good one to right, and
went to second on balk by Keener,
but Nyce's hard hit went into Frank S
hands, and the decks were cleared for
the cataclysm already narrated. The

The Navy of Japan.

The naval programme Of Japan has received
lately some notifications. The four first-class
cruisers will be Of $500 tons each, instad of
$500, as first contemplated. Between this
present time and 1905 Japan proposes to have
the following war feet
Six ironclads, 1rst-class battle ships, from
1850 to 1920 tons; one ironclad Of second
class, and 1885 tons; six protected cruisers Of
$500 tons each: seven secondLclass cruisers OF
more than 1000 tons; six third-class cruisers
Of 5000 tons; twelve cruisers Of the fourth
class and over 1,500 tons; three torpedo gun
boats Of 1200 tons; twelve torpedo catchers
115 torpedo boats, and Is gunboats. etc.
One of the frst-ciass cruisers will be built
in Japan; one ircnclad is already building in
England; one flrst-class cruiser has been or
dered in France, and another in Germany
Two second-class cruisers are building in
America.
This programme has ben laid out with a
view to the opening of the Russian Trans
Siberian railroad and to the Russian naval
construction now proceeding.-New York Sun.

The Loire No Longer Navigab1e.

In this country canals have been KILLED off
by the completion Of railroads. But in
Europe the latter are actually destroying
great rivers. The Loire, which was formerly
the biggest and most important river in
France has been neglected to such degree
that 1t has practically ceased to exist as far
as navigation is concerned. In 1855 no less
than 10000 vessels Of one kind and another
passed up and down the Loire. four fleets OF
steamboats, running between Orleans and
Nantes alone. Today there are not 100 boats
left on the river, and these are only able
to navigate small stretches Of the stream
in spring and winter. sandbars forming in
superable obstacles at every point, while in
summer the Loire almost entirely disappears
in dozen small rivulets, barely foot deep,
which meander along the huge sandy bed
of this once noble stream that has now
succumbed to neglect. Meanwhile Germany
has during the last two decades spent close
upon $10O 900, 900 in dredging and improving
the Rhine the Elbe and the Vistula. This
fact has lately been brought home to the
French legislature, which is expected to take
early action with regard to the restoration Of
the banks of the Loire. and its conversion
once more into navigable stream and into
an artery of commerce.-New York Tribune.

AM Inrentous Reouest.

Speaking at a dinner. the lord mayor Of
London, the Rts Hon. George Faudel Phillips,
said that eff the Mansion house were as large
as Salisbury plain, with 5000 acres added, :"
he WOULD still be unable to grant a tenth
Of the requests for seats in it from which to
view the jubilee procession. AS illustrating
the queer nature Of some Of the applications
he had received the lord mayor read let
ter which ran as follows: ri desire to win
the affections of young lady Of good birth
and admirable education, and If l could find
two seats, for her and her sister, 1 think l
could bring my desires to successful issue
am not in a position to pay for the seats,
so perhaps you will give me three If you
desire an interview 1 could convince you
that 1 am an ambitious man with a laudable
object in view" The lord mayor had the
grace to admit that inability to send the
tickets had been source of sorrow to him,
but he betrayed an underlying lack of SYM
pathy with the anXiouT lover by limiting
that possibly the refusal was an indirect ia
vor to the young lady, in that it might be
the means Of saving her from marriage with
young man confessedly without money
enough to support her.-New York Times.

The Decay Of Animal Matter.

great many proofs, now more or less ia
miliar to most peoplel, show quite clearly that
the decay Of animal or vegetable matter Is
not simple chemical change, inevitable in
the nature of things, but violent interfer-
ence with the natural course on the part of
hostile organisms. The bacteria which pro-
duce decomposition are very minute plants,
which grow, like mushrooms or molds, upon
organic matter, and which reproduce their
like with incredible rapidity. Tyndall showed
long ago that the spores of these plants
exist in myriads in the air, floating every
where around us, that they occupy all cram
nies and empty places on the surface Of the
earth, and that they swarm In their millions
in ali ponds and puddles. An easy way Of
proving that these spores alone and that
the plant colonies which spring from them,
are the cause Of putrefaction may be obtained

for the league laurels in minimum number OF
opponents hits.


One Of the prettiest plays made in the field
yet was Glasscock's capture of Keeners foul
fly away up at the high side OF the eyoo
path. The veteran reached TOR 1t with nis
big glove, caught It, but II bounded out, ana
as it came down again hs took 1t In the
other hand. Considering the climbing OF the
hill, while watching the ball, and all the
circumstance 1t was q distinctly brilliant
performance.
Moorhead will give trial to Joe Phyle, q
brother Of the st. Paul twirler.
For three or four innings 1t looked as
though Glasscock and Spies would put out all
the DISCOVERIES. AS it was each got a third
Of the chances.
Nyce played a very creditable game at third
yesterday, and was several times rewarded
by enthusiastic applause. His tantrum at
the plate, however when strike was called
on him. which he thought bad, did not help
matters any.
Willie McGills curves were exceedingly
elusive until the fatal seventh, when he
seemed to let down all at once.
Present indications are that the team will
take to the road about as it stands, with
Preston and the pitchers to go IN IN an emer-
gency
The club will be gone throughout june
The ball hit by Genins in the seventh in
ming would have been nuts for fast feeder
like Hartman. Nyce merely put out his hand
and stopped its force, but failed to get 1t
to first, and more in charity than anything
else it Is scored hit instead of an error.
The report OF the ball games by the Mime
apolis papers may be styled the highest type
of degenerated lterature.-The Union.
The locals tackle Indianapolis first on the
trip.
Had McGills legs been longer the Colum-
bus score would have been shorter.
The catch Of Glasscock at the right bleacher
was bird and mistake.
Barring the seventh inning, the game was
one Of the prettiest seen here this season.
The Apostles made both Of their errors In
the fatal seventh.
Keener is easy. The locals should have
hit him safely much oftener than they did.
They hit the ball to all parts of the field,
but generally so high that the felders had
ample time to get under 1t.

In many Of the great cities of Europe, when
ever a great festival Is about to take place
all the questionable and suspicious characters
are urged by the police to take Few days
airing in the country, and to disappear for a
time from their accustomed haunts. This is
found preferable to putting them under lock
and key. In st. Petersburg and Moscow and
in Vienna those who do not leave of their own
accord on being thus pressed are shipped of
by the police in special train, and Japan has
