American Team Seems Likely to
Beat the Briti&1lers.
NEW YORK, March 10.-For the fourth
time in the history of chess. players OF
this country contested match on the
board against the best representative
players of Great Britain. The contest, as
were the three previous ones, is being
PLAYED for a magnificent trophy. present.
ed BY Sir George Newres, president of
the British Chess club, London. The first
match, in 1896. was won by the Americans,
but the second and third matches, played
In 1897 and 1898, were won by the Britt
ishcrs.
The contest begun today is all the more
important because another victory for the
Britishers will win for them the trophy.
Many metropolitan experts were present
in the assembly room Of the Brooklyn
Academy of Music, where this end Of the
match was played. under the auspices Of
the Brooklyn Chess club.
At the adjournment of today's play it
was plain to be seen that the chances for
the Americans to win the contest and the
trophy are very bright, and ony a miracle
seems to be able to save the Britishers
from disaster.

BERLIN, March 10-The Reichsanzel~
ger publishes series of official dis"
patches from Samoa. Herr Rose, the
German consul, in his report of the oc-
currences prior to Jan. 4, dated Jan. 70
says the decision Of Chief Justice Cham
bers in favor Of Malictoa Tanus was
bound to have a supplying effect, mas
much as in written statement dated
Oct. 5, 1895, Mr.. Chambers declared there
was no ground for contestinS Mataata s
assumption of the sovereignty if he was
legally elected king.
During the course Of the discussion,
prior to the outbreak, concerning the
measures to be adopted to assure public
security, Mr. 4.ase, the British consul
and Capt. Sturde of lie British cruiser
Porpose are reported as intimatins their
intention of forcibly putting down any
advance of the Mataafas and to protect
the Tanusites. While the German only
announced such similar measures as were
prompted by the necessity to protect the

that if car No. so which
caused the death of the two fremen on
Lake avenue some months ago had
been in the hands of an experienced
motorman the accident never would
have happened, as it was purely cul-
pable negligence on the company's
part to have such an inexperienced
man operating a car. The boys have
realized for some months that there
was trouble ahead for them. New
rules, (which were almost impossible to

men would be discharged while with
the cheaper paid and non-llnion en-
rloyes no attempt would be made to

reasons advanced by the men for the
action of the company and the situa-
ton in a nutshell is that the COM
pany is determined to ulstroy the UNI
ion at all hazards and when that is
accomplished they can without fear of
IA general strike reduce the wages, in
flict more arbitrary rules and compel
the employees to work longer hours.
There is always a surplus of an infer

rank the company will supply the
places of the men who have operated
their ears for years, who have families
here and who in all fairness are en-
titled to the positions SO long as their
work is properly performed.

not of that class that will go off on a

be the fight Of every respectable citi-
zen Of the community and that the
management will be shown up in the

managers Of the Duluth Street Rail-
way company think they can throw
dust in the eyes of the people, impose
upon the rights of its employees, put
their murderous cars in the hands or
inexperienced men to ply through the
streets of this city endangering the

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Secretary
Alger has been arranging; to complete the
list of appointments of second lieutenant
il the regular army authorized by the
army reorganization bill, but 50 far he
has not been successful. The allotment of
the places among the states according to
the representation in congress has in a
measure simpliied the problem Of making
these appointments, though in some
cases it has led to some bite" fighting
among the members of the state de:eSa-
tions and where delegations fail to agree
the selection of appointments is made di-
rectly at the White house or the war
department.
About so names now on the list are re-
rarded at this time as bepg permanently
placed and there is hope that the work Of
selection will be completed tonight,
though the publication of the names of
the lucky ones may be withheld until the
president returns from the south.
