THE ANTI-IMPERIALISTS,
Discussion of Recent Elections at the
Meeting Last Night.

At a meeting of the executive committee
of the Anti-Imperialist League held last
evening, the recent elections formed the
principal topic of discussion. There were
present Gen. William Birney, president of
the league, and Messrs. Charles James,
Patrick O'Ferrall, p. r. Moran, Franklin
H. Mackey and DIR. VIM. A. Croffut The
members rejoiced over what they termed
anti-inIperialist victories in MARYLAND Ne
braska and Ohio, 1t being stated that in the
latter state the Nash vote was $4,000 less
than the total polled by Mclean and Jones'
and the result must be taken as a protest
against Imperialism II was admitted how
ever. that the issues in Ohio were not en-
tirely on the question of expansion. 1t was
suggested that the states mentioned be

In discussing the Massachusetts election,
1t was declared that the republican major
ity should not be considered as a vote for
the administra tion because the state plat
form had been trimmed down so as to
make it acceptable to Mr.. Boutelle, Mr.
Hoar and othe-s.
The coming of Senior Regidor, the Filipino
emissary, was mentioned, and one of the
members suggested that a dinner be ten
dered the representative of Agunaldo saw
ing that he himself felt like doing so if the
league should not. The matter was not
discussed and no action was taken. A pc
tition to Congress, calling upon that body
to bring about an immediate cessation of
hostiliries in the Philippine Islands, and to
announce to the people thereof, with
promptitude. that ii is not the purpose of
the United States to interfere with their
aspira tions for independence, or subject
them to the authority of this country, was
presented and signed by all present
The petition calls for further statement
that the purpose of this country is only to
aid the people of the Philippines in setting
up an independent government of their
own choice and to protect them against
hostile interference, and assist them with
the military and naval forces of the United
States so far may be required in the
maintenance of order and security until
such government shall have been estab-
lished. DIR. Croffut has taken up the work
of receiving signatures to this document.

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

1t is definitely decided that the date OF
Mr. Pillsbury's visit to this city will be
next Monday November H. The order OF
exercises for the afternoon will be bind

ton will be the event of the evening. COM

with him. All interested in chess will be
welcome at the club rooms on these occa-
sions. and those who desire to enter the
lists can do so the same terms as MEM
beers. As Mr.. Pillsbury is the undIsputed
master in the American chess field. his
visits are always events attracting those
interested in the game. followed by sea-
sons of renewed activity in its circles
Saturday night was one Of activity with
the players in the championship tourney
Woodward finished his ostponed game
with Bow kin and won. Tharp lost his
game with Smith by thinking an unsup-
ported pawn was good meat, but the next
move penned and finally won the bishop.
He played d strong uphill game TO get at
least the draw, but did not succeed. Har-
risS against Lyman, as in his game with
SOurnin, the week previous, made good
start, but was finally outgeneraled and
lost. Adair won from Woodward in good
style SUurnin and Walker played a very
fine game Walker opened by offering the
queens gambit with all the variations of
which he is familiar, but the defense was
so we'll timed that he got out with a good
game In the middle and ending, each at
times attained the attack. but the proper
move was always forthcoming and a draw
resulted In the club tourney. Mr.. Rafter
and DR. Warren opened the ball and played
a very even game until at a late stage in
the ending Rafter made an oversight and
lost on the move. Tuesday night S. B.
Smith won from Tucker after long-con-
tinued contest.
Thursday night an additional game was
played in the championship tourney, Mr..

The Providence Bulletin gives an ex-
tended account of Pilsbury's blindfoId
performance IN that city on October 30
from which the following extracts are
taken: Those who saw his exhibition
pronounced il marvellous Practically he
did three things at once From start TO
carry in his mind all the details of a du-
phcate whist game and eight games of
chess, and to win a ma jOrity of them at
mat w hat d strain this is for one mind
To know the countless details he must
carry in his mind. for hours.at a time de-
tals II would tax mathematician to
enumerate. 1t is said he has in his
memory. at one and the same time every
one OF the complicated moves in each game
In an exhibition like this, when he PLAYED
eight men. In proof of this he called every
move made in one game. How did he do
1t? He said IT was memory, a knowledge
his mind on one thing at time. He dis
avowed the popular idea, that in each in
stance he projected a mental picture of the
board on his mind. At O'Clock in the
morning, after nine hours of this kind of
exercise, he seemed quite fresh and said he
was not a bit tired.
Mr. Pillsbury is about twenty-six wears
OF age He was born in Somervile, Mass
He was the youngest-looking man present
His face would attract notice in any COM
pany. The features are clean-cut and the
passes much time indoors. The first i'm
preston is that he has a long narrow
head. but this impression wears away
when the height of the skull above the
ear is noted and the full development in
the back Is observed"
