LONDON, June 1.-(New York World Ca
biegram- Special Telegram)-The scandalous
statement was current in the lobby of the
House Of Commons this afternoon, before the
resumption Of the parliamentary chess tour
nament, that there was reason to suspect the
American team had the benefit of profess
sional advice. At that time 1t was feared
the English team would be beaten. The
specific assertion was made that the move by
which MIR. Bodine beat Mr.. Strauss was too
brilliant for any but professional player.
/ Instituted inquiries and obtained the view
OF the professional chess reporter who was
recording the match. He said Mr.. Strauss
lost his game through mscalculation and that
there was nothing in the play OF the Amer
lean team beyond that OF first rate amateurs
Mr.. Strauss himself expressed the same opin-
ion acknowledging he had been defeated per-
fectly fairly. There was not the slightest
discoverabe foundation for the story preva-
lent in the lobby, which apparently origl-
mated in sheer prejudice.
Great excitement prevailed when late to-
night the curious situation existed by which
the honor of the British House OF Commons

John H. Parnell He Is VIGOROUSLY a slow
player and IL was feared at one time he
would not finish his match tonight. Arthur
Balfour came up and was patient observer
OF the game for considerable time with his
brother, the Irish secretary. The former was
much amused at Mr.. Shafroth's bimetallic
greeting, expressing the opinion that 1t was
very smart Just before midnight word
was brought to the lobby that Parneil nau
resigned. so honors in the tournament were
divided, whereat the English members eX-
pressed modified satisfaction, their hopes OF
victory having been raised earlier in the
night by too sanguine reports from the chess
room.
The contest Is regarded as a decided sue
cess, and will probably become an annual fix
ture; In fact the suggestion is mooted to-
night that another competition should be ar
ranged this session so that the trophy pro-
vided by Mr.. Walter of the Times should be
won BALLARD SMITH

PECULIAR PoIsoNS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
ease and death Called by scientists Ptom-
anes). are usually the result of imperfect
digestion of food; the result of indigestion
or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments (the first process Of decay.
poisoning the blood making it thin, weak.
and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning
the brain, causing headaches and pain in
the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart. causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys. caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this Is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss OF appe-
tite and flesh, but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.

the best start in life Is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly
because they lack the proper quality OF
digestive acids 0atic and hydrochoric) and

remedy IN all cases OF digestion Is to take
after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
