port quarter nearly twelve feet long and
five feet high, caused by a collision in
midocean with the Danish steamer Hekla
the Atlantic transport line steamer Mis-
siSsippi came into port to-day. On May
q the Mississippi passed through thick fog
Shortly before p m. that day the Mis-
sissippi was steaming ahead at full speed
when suddenly her officers heard the
screeching of a whistle. Then there was a
terrific crash. The Hekla had been bearing
down on the Mississippi amidships but on
seeing the black form of the steamship
looming up ahead her captain instantly
veered her so that instead of striking tie
Mississippi amidships she crashed into her
stern. In both ships panic followed the
collision. There was large number of
women passengers on the decks of the HekIa
and their screams were heard above the
shouts of the others. The Hekla quickly
backed off She reported that her bows
were slowed in and that she would proceed
to the nearest port. Then the Hekla dis
appeared in the FOG. None OF the passen-
gers on either boat was hurt

On the Other side,

LONDON, June 1.-The scene tonight in
room No. II of the House of Commons,
where the British chess team played was a
repetition, in the main, of that of the pre-
vious night. The chief difference was in
the increasing excitement at the approach
ing termination of the contest. But the
anxiety was more felt than seen and not an
echo of it was allowed to reach the play
ers themselves. There were whispered COM
ments that Mr.. Jones was so terribly slow
in his moves that he was obliged to hasten
unduly his final plays, that Mr. Wilson
was playing a good steady game and that
in the end everything might turn Mr.
Parnell. But no hint of this sort was al
lowed to get to them. Mr. Jones, as the
end of the contest drew near, showed his
excitement; Mr.. Wilson kept himself well
under control but Mr.. Parnel wore q look
of concentrated anxiety again strkingly
recalling his famous brother in fateful mo-
nents. There was a ceaSeleSs coming and
going of members of the House, many of
them taking the humblcst parts in the pro
ceedings, and men with noble names acting
as clerks TO record the moves FOR the cable
operators. A j. Balfour, first lord of the
treasury, and leader of the Ministerialsts,
looked on.
This was too good a chance not to be
utilized by Mr.. Heaton, who has talents for
such an occasion that the late p. r Bar
mum might have envied. He promptly wired
to Washington the fact that Mr. Balfour
was present, and when this drew forth the
retort that Mr.. Shafroth, of Colorado, is
also an ardent bimetallist and felt inspired
to greater eXertionS on learning that the
distinguished leader of the House was pres
ent, there was a hearty round of laughter
Mr.. Balfour joining with evident relish
When the contests closed Mr. Parnel said
he had made bad move at the start and
had an uphill game ever afterward Mr.
Heaton said few words informally, after
which three hearty cheers were given for

CHESS MATCH A DRAW
AMERICAN NJ. C.'S AND BRITISH M.
Prs EACH WON TWO GAMES,
While the Fifth, Between Mr.. Handy
and Mr.. Wilson, Was Drawn-In-
cidents of the Contest.

WASHINGTON, June !. - The interna-
tional chess match between members of the
House of Representatives and the English
House of Commons to-day resulted in a
draw, each side having won and lost two
games and one being drawn When the
match was concluded by Mr.. Shafroth win
ming his game and tying the score hearty
cheers We're given on each side of the
water for the President and her Majesty
the Queen. The games yesterday resulting
in a winning by Mr.. Bodine for America
and a game to the credit of England, won
by Mr.. Plunkett, three games remained to
be finished to-day. Among the interested
spectators were Sir Julian Pauncefote and
many attaches of the diplomatic corps.
The games resulted in the loss of one by
Mr.. PloWman and the drawing of the game
between Mr.. Handy and Mr.. Wilson. 1t
then remained for Mr.. Shafroth to save the
day for America by winning his game, and
the deepest interest was manifested in every
move made. He started under the neces-
sity of making six moves in thirteen min
utes but soon caught up and had time to
play studiously. When the announcement
of the result of his game came the cheers
of the spectators filled the room for sew
eral minutes. The time made yesterday in
transmitting messages in regard to plays
was surpassed to-day when message was
sent from Washington over the lines of the
Western Union Telegraph Company and the
Anglo-Amercan Cable Company, move
made in London and the answer sent back
in forty seconds.
Toward the close of the game an Ameri-
can gentleman who was in the room re-
ceived the following cablegram: What's
the use of playing chess with these British
ers? Let's try them at poker" Mr.. Strauss
expressed hims9i as greatly astonished at
the strength and su5tlety of the American
playing.

Large Attendance Mt the National
Convention of "Drummers."

NASHVILLE, June l. = The National
Travellers Protective Association met in
the hall of the House of Representatives
to-day. The attendance is the largest in the
history of the organization. The proceed
ings were opened with prayer by Rev.
Alonzo Monk national chaplain, after
which addresses of welcome were delivered
by Mayor Mccarthy, Maj. M. w. Wills,
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce,
and w. r. Johnson, president of the Ten
nessee division. The responses were by
John A. Lee, national president of the asso-
citation; Joseph Wallerstein, first national
vice president, and Hon. j. NJ. Head of
Nashville. Addresses were also made by
Jerry NJ. Porter, of Kentucky; Rev. Homer
L. Wilson, of Dallas, Tex, and Charles r.
Duffin, national director, of Terre Haute,
Ind. No business was transacted by the
association, the first business session be-
ing held tomorrow morning. Tonight an
informal reception was given at headquar-
terS Tomorrow afternoon the wives and
daughters of the members of Post b, of
Nashville, will give a reception to the visit
mentS complimentary to the delegates and
their families and friends will be given dur
ing the week
Delegates continue to arrive, and the
fresh arrivals find that the choice of a
president Is now the absorbing topic with
the delegates. If President Lee would con-
sent TO another term there Is scarcely a
doubt that he would be elected without OPP
position. The most prominent candidates
in the field to succeed President Lee are
Joseph Waltenstein, first national vice pres
ident; Charles r. Button OF Terre Haute
and G. II. Wichard of st. Louis. There is
some talk, however, of a dark horse Thir-
ty-one states are already represented by
delegates out OF the tnirty-three States haV-

ABDUL HANDS, DESIRE
TURKEYS RULER THINKS THESSA-
LIZ BELONGS TO THE VICToRs,
And He Is Not Likely to Surrender the
Province Unless the Powers Force
Him-MiIes at Athens.

LONDON, June 1-Eastern affairs appear
to have reached the drifting stage. The ex-
act position as to the armistice negotiations
is not yet clear Evidently it is the object
of Turkey to create delays and TO discover
any latent weakness in the European con-
cert. During the councils of ministers at
the Yildiz Kiosk the peace conditions have
certainly been discussed, but all mention of
Thessaly is avoided. The assumption seems
to be that Thessaly belongs to Turkey by
conquest, and that there is nothing more to
be said on the subject. The powers will
have to show a united and very energetic
front before the Sultan will recede from this
position In the meantime in order to re-
move the impression that she rejects all
the peace proposals, Greece has sent an
other note to her representatives abroad,
repeating that she is prepared to acquiesce
in the decisions of the powers, but that the
payment of large indemnity is impossible.
Edhem Pasha having sent the aid-de-camp
whom the Sultan appointed to watch him
back to Constantinople under escort as d
spy the officer was forthwith promoted by
the Sultan.
A dispatch to the Times from Constanti-
nople says there is strong reason for be-
Loving that Bulgaria is eXerting intlu-
ence TO induce the Sultan to transform
Macedonia into an autonomous province I'M
der an imperial prince,
Maj Gen. Nelson A. Miles United States
army, returned to Athens to-day from
Thermopylae, the headquarters of the
Greek army, where the general met Crown
Prince Constantine and was enabled to in
spect the defenses of the Greeks.
A special dispatch from Athens announces
that the Turks have retired from the
Othrys mountains to the plains of Thessaly
owing to the difficulty or Transporting IA
tons to the troops stationed in that range.
1t is expected that representatives of the
two armies will meet Wednesday to sign
an extension of the armistice.

that if these differences can be adjusted

as there are only two schedules to be con-
