BRITISH IN THE LEAD.
Opening of che Intercollegiate Inter- national Chess Match.

Boston, March 27.The gymnasium of
 the Boston Athletic association to-day
 was alive with club members Harvard
 men and their friends to witness the
 play in the fifth annual international
 cable chess match between team of six picked from the chess clubs in con-
 nection with the Columbia, Harvard,
 Yale and Princeton universities against
 a like team, drawn from the Oxford and Cambridge universities chess clubs. Play in the contest which is to last for two days, was begun after the exchange
 of courtesies and delay caused by the
 breaking down of the wire in London.
 The toss for the move in London re-
 suited in America having the first move on the odd numbered boards while the ! Englishmen played white pieces on the even numbered boards. The players were paired as follows:
 Rice, Harvard, vs. Webb, Cambridge. Bateman, Cambridge, vs. Sewall, Co., lumbia.
 Sawin, Yale, vs. Davidson, Oxford. Roome Oxford, vs. Richardson, Princes ! ton. @
 Keeler, Columbia, vs. Bumpass, ox- ford.
 Brown, Cambridge, vs. Bridgman, Harvard.
 l American umpire at London, H. N. Pillsbury; English umpire at Boston, John F. Cook. Referee. Baron Albert de Rothschild. Vienna.
 The play in the morning session was devoid of any startling feature, the con- \ testants confining themselves to shap- ! ing their play after conventional lines. Shortly before adjournment, however, ! Sawin succeeded in winning a pawn from Davidson, thus giving his side Q | temporary advantage. The other five games stood about even.
 | In the course of the afternoon play an exceedingly complicated position | arose on the first board when Rice and Webb with their thirteenth move enter l ed on a series of exchanges The Har- yard man won two pawns at the cost \ of an attack, which, however, proved but short lived. When hostilities were suspended Rice had still a pawn to the l good while all the pieces were off the board save the two queens. The game on the second board stands slightly in favor of Bateman, while on the third board SaWin suffered defeat after twenty moves. having made an { unsound sacrifice. The fourth and fifth 1 games are about even and on the sixth board Bumpass has somewhat the ad- vantage. Thus the match looks much \ in favor of the Britishers, the actual ! score being to in their favor Play will be resumed tomorrow morning at | 10 o'clock.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION
4 TEN PER GENT. INCREASE IN
 MANY DEPARTMENTS.
Progress of the Conference Between the Representative COmmittees-HouTs of Work Yesterday and Conference Be- gins Again This Forenoon.

guns gum X Ats
 The conference regarding the new
 wage schedule begun Thursday by the | grievance committee of the trainmen of
 the New York, New Haven and Hart
 ford railroad system, and sub-commit-
 tee of the board of directors was resum- ed in the office of President John M. Hall of the railroad company at 10 | o'clock yesterday. It is announced that some progress was made Thursday toward reaching an agreement, but rep resentatives of the company, as we'll as
 of the men, say that the consideration of the details of the schedule is likely to consume much further time. Members of the committee while expressing no opinion as to the outcome of the nego- 1 tiations, have said that the company off, fcials have shown disposition to make
 concessions on some points in the pro- posed schedule, which were not satis- | factory to the committee.
 The grievance committee of the con- ductors of the system will not meet the road officials to consider the conductors proposed new schedule until after the deliberations of the trafnmen are ended. A meeting was held by the conductors committee yesterday morning, but it
 was said to be informal in it's nature. After two hours discussion the tratrl- mems conference with the directors
 committee was adjourned until o'clock.
 The session began at 2 and lasted until
 until o'clock last evening, when ad-
 journment was had until 10 this fore- noon.
 President Hall declined to say any,
 thing about the progress of affairs. It was announced yesterday afternoon that the new schedule granted the l freight handlers by the directors of the road gives them virtually a 10 per cent. | increase and nine hour day. Truck | mems pay is increased from s1.50 to ! 61.65; stevedores from $1.70 to $1.S5 and | delivery and receiving clerks from s150 to $1.65. The local freight handlers. ! numbering $50 met, asked for an ir,-
 crease of 15 per cent. and extra pay for
 overtime work. Nothing is said in the
 new schedule about overtime work, and it is expected these men will ask to
 have this matter taken up later. Gen. eral anager Chamberlain said last ever- ing thata 10 per cent. increase had been
 granted the boiler makers. freight hand
 lers, firemen, shopn1en, builders and
 nachinists. ! The, railroad telegraphers and, tele- phone operators of the system have been
 informed, 1t is said, that their new schedule will give them something like
 a 10 per cent. increase.

PLANTED EASTERN OYSTERS.
Four Carloads Placed in Waters Of
Shoalwater Bay.

Uwaco.-J. w. HOwertOn, one OF the
promoters of the Oysterville Oyster
company, has just returned from
Oysterville.. near South Bend, where
he attended the planting of the four
carloads of eastern seed oysters
which arrived from Wareham, Mass.
and New Haven, Conn.
The oysters were fifteen days on
the road and arrived in good shape
having been shipped in A. d. I. re-
frigerator cars. Included in the ship
ment were three sizes of oysters, the
seed, yearlings and two-year olds.
The two-year-o will be ready for
market next year, as it only takes
the eastern oyster three years to ma
ture.
The Oysterville Oyster company is
composed of local and Portland capt.
tai, and, although organized less than
year ago the stockholders are
well pleased with outlook Of the bust
ness for the future.
The planting of eastern oysters in
waters of ShOalwater bay is not an
experiment. Twenty seven years ago
a man by the name of Crellens plant
ed several barrels in the bay and fiji
teen years ago the state planted fiji
teen barrels as an experiment. These
oysters are now being found in many
places They are as large as mans
hand and many Of them weigh a
pound Other men have planted on
a small scale in the past and the
success of their efforts has caused
the business to grow until in the
neighborhOod Of twenty carloads have
been shipped from the east during
the past spring and planted in Shoal-
water bay.
The OystervilIe Oyster company is
one OF the most extensive oyster
companies. 1t owns $50 acres of Oys-
Ter lands and is acquiring more lands
as fast as possible. 1t spent nearly
$4,000 for the four loads of seed
shipped this spring, but will continue
to make shipments each fall and
spring from now on.
