tives and House of Commons
to Contend.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The ar
rangements for the match games of
chess between five selected individual
players between the House of Represen-
tativeS and a like number from the Brit
ish House of Commons are practically
completed. The game will be begun at
p. M, Washington time and o'clock

hours, fifteen moves to the hour. If
not completed in the aggregate time,
the game will be finished on June LIST.
A single consultation game, in which all
the members of both teams may con-
suit as to the moves, will be played on
a date to be fixed by the Englishmen.
Two wires between Washington and
York Will be given up to the games,
and it is expected that not more than
three minutes will be consumed in
transmitting the several moves be-
tween London and Washington. The
American players will draw lots for
their British competitors and their
places at the tables The Washington
end of the game will be played in the
House Foreign Affairs Committee room.
The members of the House have been
coached by W. Pillsbury of Brooklyn.

tournament at Hastings, England who
has played against all comerS for the
past week at the Metropolitan Club in
this city and who has won every game
except a draw with the Austrian Min
lister.
There will be five players on each
side. Although the players on behalf
of the House of Representatives have
not been officially announced, it is un-
derstood that four of them have been
selected Messrs. Pearson of North Car
olina, DeGraffenreid of Texas, Bodne
Of Missouri and Handy of Delaware
So far as this side has been advised
officially, Messrs. Plunkett, Heaton and
Strauss will be three of the five in the
English team.
The House players will move their
men in the House Committee of For
eign Affairs, the English players in one
of the lObbies of Parliament House.
The messages will be sent over the
wires of the Western Union Telegraph

SPANISH CABINET.
Its Position the Theme of Anxious
Discussion on All Sides.

MADRID, May 23-The position of
the Cabinet is the theme of most anx-
ious discussion on all sides. Some of
the Government organs think the Min
istry should meet the Cortes tomorrow
and endeavOr TO secure the adoption of
such bills as are pressing, and then sus-
pend the session as soon as possible.
Others think a change of policy ex-
pedient. and, in fact, inevitable.
All admit the difficulty of appointing
a colorless Ministry to carry on the busi-
ness of the country.
The Cabinet sat in council this even
ing until s o'clock, and 1t was decided
to appear before the Cortes tomorrow
and give explanations Of the Tetuan-
Comas incident on Friday last, even if
the Liberals should absent themselves.
A special committee Of the Chamber
of Deputies Will be instructed to con-
slider the budget bill.
The record-union., 1897-05-24

WASHINGTON, May 23.-On Tues
day next, ten weeks and day after the
beginning of the session, the Senate will
take up the tariff bill for the passage
of which the session was especially
called. The bill was to have been called
up on Monday but the death of Sena-
tor Earle of South Carolina will render
necessary an adjournment for day.
Senator Aldrich will call up the bill,
move its consideration and make a
speech in it's support. The Democratic
amendment striking out the internal
revenue features of the bill will be in
troduced by Senator Vest After this,
the course Of procedure is somewhat in
definite. The Democrats are not clear
as to whether they will permit the i'm
mediate taking up of the schedules, or
will demand an opportunity to make set
speeches bearing upon the general pol
icy of the bill The prevailing opinion
among the Democratic leaders is
against the policy of general speeches
at the beginning of the discussion, but
they will not attempt to restrain indi-
yidual Senators who may wish to be
heard. There are some Democratic
Senators who are disposed to discuss
the general features of the bill and who
incline to an opinion that the best time
for such speeches will be while the de-
bate on the bill is young.
Senator Vest does not expect to
make speech in presenting the motion
to strike out the revenue features, but
the motion may lead to immediate de-
bate and in case exception is taken to
it, the Missouri Senator will be heard
from. The Silver Republicans and
Populists will seek opportunity during
the pendency of the bill to present
some remarks of a political nature and
some of them may be heard during the
week. The general sentiment among
straight Republicans is adverse to the
encouragement Of any general discuss
ion of the bill, or to long speeches on
the schedules, but no party policy has
yet been decided upon. A caucus has
been called for this purpose to be held
Monday afternoon.
There will undoubtedly be strong OPP
position to some of the schedules on the
part of the Republican Senators and

Protect the system From Malaria.

1t is possible to do this even in regions
of country where miasma is most rife
and where the periodic fevers which it
causes assume their most formidable
types. The immense popularity of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is very largely
attributable to the fact of it's efficacy as a
remedy for chillS and fever, bilious remit
tents, and as a preventive of the various
forms of malarial disease In those por-
tions of the West and South where COM
plants of this nature prevail. and in the
tropics, it is particularly esteemed for the
protective influence which il eXerts: and it
has been very widely adopted as a substi-
tute for the dangerous and comparatively
inefficient alkaloid, Sulphate of quinne

The record-union., 1897-05-24

amendments will be firmly pressed.
Some Of these amendments will be Of
fered to the chemical schedule, the first
Of the list and they will probably be
reached during the present week. Other
features Of the bill which Republican
Senators will attack are those affecting
sugar and wool duties and taking hides
from the free list Senator Pettigrew's S
amendment against trusts is certain to
prove fruitful of general debate when
reached.
Senator Aldrich says he will not
speak to exceed one hour in one time
on Tuesday. He will give for the first
time the estimate Of the Republican
members of the Finance Committee of
amount of revenue the bill will pro-
duce and will explain the committees
plan of action, giving the reasons for
some of the more important amend
nlents made. His statement is antic-
ipated with much interest. In reply to
question, Mr.. Aldrich, who will have
charge of the bill on behalf of the Re-
publican side of the Senate said to-day
that when the bill was once taken up
he would oppose consideration Of all
other business, except conferences, un-
til it shall be finally disposed of.
The conference report on the sundry
civil appropriation bill, probably will
be considered some time during the
week. The conference committee has
practically agreed upon a compromise
of the forestry reservation provision
which they hope will prove satisfactory
to all parties but whether it will or
Will not can only be determined when
the report is presented to Congress.
The Morgan resolution recognizing
the belligerency of the Cuban insur-
gents, which passed the Senate on
Thursday, will not be acted upon by
the House this week. That is the decis-
ion of the Republican leaders. They
have decided to block the resolution un-
til the plans of the President, which are
now maturing, are formulated.
There will doubtless be a demand on
the part of the minority for immediate
action, but they are powerless to Sc
cure consideration unless the Rules
Committee will report a special order.
This, the Rules Committee, will not do
The majority will antagonize any at
tempt to force consideration with
motion to adjourn until Thursday. On
Thursday, the conference report of the
Indian or sundry civil bill may be
ready. If one or the other is not ready
the House will adjourn until the fol-
lowing Monday.
