FOR A LEGISLATIVE CHESS
MATCH.

The object OF Congress Is generally
assumed to be to enact laws for the
benefit of the people. Just at present,
however, the all-absorbing topic of dis
cussion about the House of Representa-
tives IS the proposed cable chess match
between our congressman and the
British M. P.'s. Those representatives
in Washington who are chess enthu-
siasts can seem to talk of nothing else
but The possibilities Of the contest be-
tween English and American legisla-
tive intelligence and the others not
interested in the game have as much
to say in ridicule of the perspective
challenge IL is interesting, under the
circumstances, to know who we have in
Congress qualified to take part in such
a scientific match.
The proposition came by mail TO
Speaker Reed, but not being an expert
at chess, he turned it over to Mr..
Pearson, OF North Carolina. The latter
made a canvass OF the members and,
at meeting OF enthusiasts which re-
suited, a committee was appointed
composed OF the following men, who
were instructed to reply to the infor
NAL challenge and arrange the details
OF the proposed contest: Congressman
Richmond Pearson, of Ashville, N. c.;
General Joe Wheeler, of Alabama;
General David b. Henderson, of Iowa;
Judge De Almond, OF Missouri; Rich
ard C. Shannon, of New York; Robert
G. Cousins. of Iowa; and Claude Swan
son, Of Virginia. Mr.. Pearson was
nominated and elected as chairman
and opened communications at once
with J. Hennicker Heaton, who is act
ing as the manager for the British
team. Several letters have passed be-
tween the two men. AS soon as the for
NAL challenge is received 1t Will be eX-
amined by the Americans, and II found
to be satisfactory cablegram will b'
sent to the Englishman, giving a nou
fication OF the acceptance of the terms
of the match and stating at what tim'
the games are to begin.
It is expected that Congressman
Pearson will captain our team. Th'
Americans will be at great disadvan
tage in selecting their team, as so many
members of the House are new men
and II is therefore difficult to find on
who are most expert in the game.
The best players are believed to b.
Pearson, Of North Carolina; Shannon
and Foote, of New York; De Armon
and Bodine, of Missouri; Wheeler, o
Alabama; Henderson and Cousins, o
Iowa; Beach, of Ohio; Suaforth, @
Colorado: Handy, of Delaware, an
Parker. Of New Jersey. It is possibl
that young Pillsbury, of Brooklyn, on
of our professional experts, will be en-
gagged by Chairman Pearson to coacl
the American team.

Some elaborate experiments just
completed by Germany to ascertain the
best colors for warships have led to
the conviction that olive green, which
is favored by the United States navy
in time of war, is the best, because il
renders ships least visible to an enemy
Il is true that dark brown has great
advantages by day. but there is nc
doubt that olive green is the hardest &c
make out at night. During the rebel
lion of the Brazilian feet under Admi.
raj Mello in 1894, the loyal ships were
painted olive green, which enabled th'
torpedo boats to approach the rebe
flagship Aquidaban within 400 yard
undetected and destroy her.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS

According to the most recent govern
ment reports the farming outlook is
not very encouraging. In some parts
OF the country it looks bad. The eli

Bureau for March, 1897, says that
farming operations have been retard
ed by wet weather in the states of tn
central valleys and the season is some
what backward generally"
Winter wheat is reported winter
killed to some extent in Missouri, Iowa
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, but it
condition is not discouraging in Ohio
and is generally promising in Kansas
Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Sprins
wheat is doing well in Kansas, anC
Iowa is preparing to increase her acre
age in this cereal. The chief feature O
last months weather was the yer!

valleys, the northern parts of the Gul
States, the lake region, the northern
Rocky Mountain slope and the create
portion of the Pacific coast. We hop
