The New York State Chess Association
holds it's annual meeting in August prob
ably at Saratoga, when the Ottendorfer cup
will be contended for by the cracks of the
state. At the same meeting there will be
a three-cornered fight between this and the
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, associa-
tions. Special prizes and cups figure in
what will be a chess picnic on great scale.
A correspondence game of chess between
some German residents of New York and
friends in Bremen, Germany. ended last
February in favor of New York after two
years and five months. A still longer game
was lately ended, between a citizen of New
ark, n. Y, and an Australian. As only one
move could be made at time. and it took
many letters to close the contest, five years
elapsed before the finish.
The attempt to hold the ladies' chess con-
gress in New York next fall is making some
progress, although the subscriptions neces-

The Claims of France.

AS history informs us, the claims OF
France to sovereignty over Haiti, after
Leclerc and his soldiers had been exter-
minated and Bonaparte found himself in
volved in another European war, were
sternly resisted. Even when she sent out
commissioners, during the reign of Louis
XVIII the invincible patriots could not be
coerced or foresworn, though the govern
rnent expressed itself as willing to fix the
basis of a pecuniary indemnity for the
losses which the French coionists had sus-
tanned and must continue to suffer, in con-
sequence of the separation of Haiti from
France" But when the unspeakable Des-
salines had murdered the last Frenchman in
the island, and the Haitians. claiming to
have reached at the price of their blood
and that of their forefathers, that level for
which God had created them; equal to all
men in any part of the world" they refused
to treat 1t was only Gas has been stated
when Boyer wished to obtain a standing

that they yielded. Still, it was not the peo-

France for some of her losses, and the bulk
of them have resented even the suggestion
of it ever since

othello Saturday Night.

Mr.. McVay is sparing neither ex-
pense nor pains to have everything
in readiness for the big production
of "Othello" at the Opera House
next Saturday night.
"Othello" will be the strongest
part that Mr.. McVay has yet been
seen in, during his stay 10 Honolulu,
and one that gives him more scope
for magnificent acting.
His costumes, as we'll as those OF
the supporting company, are all
rich and handsome, and the scenery
that has been painted especially for
the production is very striking.
Taken altogether "Othello" prom
ises to be the theatrical event of the
season,

Cough In Court.

Three Russian sailors from the
Imperial man-of-war now in port
plead guilty to charge of being
drunk last night The bailiff called
out their names with some difficulty
aud the clerk of the magistrate took
them down as Whoopinkoff, Rus
siancoughsky, and Crudecougheris-
ky. The Judge said that he would
impose the usual fine for drunken
ness in this instance as he under
stood that $3 would mean months
wages to the men. They were re-
primanded and returned to theii
vessel, and it is safe to predict that
their liberty will be pau.

The San Francisco Call publishes
a very absurd story in regard to the
troubles here of Allen Sherman who
is described as an Oakland attor-
new. A letter addressed TO his faith
er is published in which the young
man in virtuous Indignation denies
the charges made against him OF
being a "bilk." Siuce the letter of
the young scamp was written aud
published he has been re-srrested,
pleaded guilty to acharge Of vagran-
cy, aud shipped out Of the country.
The authorities here have been crit
icizsd for compromising felony in
allowing fellow like Sherman to
escape punishment, and they nat
urally must feel sore by seeing him
roasting" them and the Honolulu
press in California paper. Since this
matter has been brought up and
given some notoriety, we consider 1T
proper to state that the Call is mis-
taken when it says that tne COM
plainant in the charge against Sher-
man was j. w. Robertson, Chamber
lain to King Kalakaua and 10
Queen Liluokalani The gentleman
who caused the arrest Of Sherman
for gross cheat is Mr. j Weir Rob-
ertson, a we'll. known business man
in Honolulu, but at no time connec
ted with the chamberlain's office.
