No steps have been taken recently to
forward the annual tourney of the local
Chess Club, owing to the interest in a
match for the District championship. If
Mr.. Hanna's engagements leave him the
time to play match chess Capt O'Farrell,
the present holder, is willing to accommo-
date him. If Mr.. Hanna should not desire
10 play In the near future the field will
then be open to number who would like
to take a hand. Messrs. Walker. Smith,
Guthrie and Tharp. and possibly others,
are In this list. The latter, after a long
recess. is now anxious to try for the high
est local honors.
Monte Carlo proposes to duplicate its
master tournament of last year, If not to
make 1t an annual affair. The date is set
for January Is. Pillsbury's dates are ar
ranged to be on hand.

China an InexhauStfbIe Reservoir of
C0Olie Labor.
From the Philadelphia North American
In the course of an ingenious If not in
genuous argument in favor of the removal
of all restrictions to the immigration of
Chinese laborers. Yo How, the Chinese con-
sui general at San Francisco. says:
II shall concede that the Chinese do In a
sense work more cheaply than whites; that
they live more cheaply; that they send their
money out Of the country to China; that
most of them have no intention of remain
ing in the United States, that they
do not adopt American manners, but live
in colonies and not after the American
fashion"
That is an admission Of almost every
objection made by American workingrnen
to Chinese immigration. 1t is more; tt Is a
statement Of some of the chief reasons for
the anxiety of the allied trusts to prevent
re-enactment of the Geary law, which ex-
pires next May. Corporations employing
large numbers of laborers-the railroads
and the coal trust-wanr men who work
more cheaply than whites who do not live
after the American fashion, who have none
OF the aspirations of American citizens
men whose needs are few and simple and
who are content with conditions against
which white men would revolt.

cheap labor. Through the Six Chinese Conn

Held for the Grand Jury.

While Acting Sergeant Carlson and Officer
Mellen were near the National Theater
about 3 O'Clock this morning they saw a
colored man come out of side door Of the

When questioned, the man stated that the
bundle contained some food. An examina-
tfon was made. and 1t was found to contain
two bottles Of liquor, but no food. He gave
his name as John johnson and said he
bought one of the bottles In South Wash

KLONDIKE PLOT is Baked.
Alaskan Officials Foil Miners Plan to
Form Republic.

OF all the wild dreams of empire since
the days of Louis Riel that concocted by
a little band of plotters scattered along
the valley of the Yukon from the upper
lakes to Circle City is probably the most
fantastic yet recorded.
The story has been made public of the
exposure of the conspiracy at Skaguay
and of hurried measures that We're taken
by both Canadian and American officials
TO thwart the scheme of the plotters to
make of the Yukon and Northwest terri
tory a republic The organization was
formed in December, 1900, at Dawson.
Its headquarters for months last sum
mer were at Skaguay. 1t was called
the Order of the Midnight Sun. Its mem
bers, 1,300 in number, took a ha:r-rais-
ing oath to reveal none of its secrets
Death was the penalty for violation OF
this oath.
The plot might have succeeded tempo
rarily as did Riel when he invaded the
Northwest territory with a band Of hall
breeds. But the leaders Of the conspir-
acy lacked the requisite nerve. SoTae one
leaked" and the organization, it is be
iieved, will disappear quietly and COM
pletely.
1t was intended to cut the wires along
the railroad after navigation ceased on
the Yukon this winter and overpowe' the
mounted police at White Horse and
Dawson. the chief posts. There are only
235 police in the whole of the British
Yukon. The gold in the banks and in
the possession of the government was TO
be seized The leaders believed that the
United States would not allow British
troops TO enter by way Of Skaguay, on
American soil. and that they would be
unable to reach Dawson by the all-Cana-
dian route inside of six months. Mean
time the traders hoped for Intervention
by the United States or to organize an
army to resist Canadian troops.
