THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1897-24 PAGES. A UNIQU Coming International Chess Match Between Legislators. COMPOSITION OF THE TEAMS Sees E CONTES ———— House of Commons Against House of Representatives. <= SKETCHES OF PARTICIPANTS ‘The cabie chess match between the Brit- ish house of commons and the American House of Representatives will be played Monday and Tuesday between 2 and 7 p.m. Representative Handy. fm the room of the House committee cn foreign affairs. Since the return of Repre- sentative Richmond Pearson to the city the arrangements have been pushed, and are now in a nearly perfect condition. Consid- erable difficulty was experienced in select- ing the American team, owing to the fact that so little was known at the outset as to who played chess. The relative strength Representative Bodine. of those who did was also unknown and had to be determined by tests. For the past two weeks the members have been playing together, and as a result the fol- lowing have been chosen to represent the House of Representatives, viz: Messrs. Pearson of North Carolina, Shaf- roth of Colorado, Bodine of Missouri, Handy of Delaware and Plowman of Alabama. There are two other representatives, Messrs. R. C. Shannon and R. C. De Graf- fenreid, who are little, if any, inferior to those mentioned. Mr. Shannon has shown great interest in the match, and has done @s much for its success, perhaps, as any other member. Every other member would have been pleased to see him on the team. ‘When, however, Mr. Plowman defeated him in a series of games Mr. Shannon insisted that the gentleman from Alabama play on the team, Mr. De Graffenreid having in the meantime withdrawn. Mr. Shannon will act as captain of the American team, a position which he is well fitted to fill. As captain he will see that all the arrangements are carried out. He will be called upon to designate who shall play at the various tables. This is no easy matter to decide, as there has been so lit- tie shown in the play ef the five chosen. The practice in matches of this character is to put the strongest players at the top. The British team has had the advantage ef years of practice, and the strongest £. W. Wilson. team has undoubtedly been chosen from a large number of chess players in the house ‘ommors, and it would not be surprising it of won the match. The American has been hastily chosen, but will no make a good fight for supremacy. ‘The British Team. Vir. Arthur Strauss will play board No. 1. . therefore, supposed to be the strong- player on the British team, though is said to be little difference in the th of the players. A sample of his will be found below, being a game by him in a recent practice match the newspaper correspondents. Mr. ss is a metal merchant of London, and He represents Cam- pwall division. "a Curzon Plunkett. who will y at board No. 2, is the youngest mem- Tr of the British team, being forty-three years of age. He is the son of a baron, end his mother was the daughter of a beron. He represents Dublin county, south tor. Americans will be especially interested in Mr. John Howard Parnell, both because he lived in Alabama for a number, of years end because he is an clder brother of the Iste Chertes Stewart Parnell, leader of the ris home rule party. His mother is aiso Delia Tabor, daughter of Commodore Chas. Siuart of the United States navy. Mr. Parnell ts fifty-four years of age, and is the ol¢est man on the English team. His playing strength ts fairly well known here, @s he wes at one time a visitor at the Brooklyn Chess Club, where he played off- hand games with several of the players. If he showed his average strength at that time, it is believed one on the American team will be able to worry him. A sample of his style of play will be found below. Mr. Liewellyn Archer Atherly-Jones ts a é lawyer, a queen’s counsel, and the son of a lawyer. He is also author of “The Miner’s Manual.” He is forty-eight years of age and represents Durham, northwest. He has pla: at one of eight boards con- tested by Mr. Blackburne, blindfolded, and lost to the master. Mr. Frederick William Wilson of Nor- John Howard Parnell. folk, middle, is a journalist, and is also a justice of the peace. In 1804 he was prcsi- dent of the Newspaper Society of the United Kingdom. He is fifty-three years of age and is the author of “Our National bt? The American Team. Richmond Pearson of Asheville, N. C., has been chairman of the congressional committee of arrangements. He is one of the strongest players on the American team. He was born at Richmond Hill, N. C., January 26, 1852, and ts consequently forty-five years of age. He is a graduate Representative Shafroth. of Princeton, is a member of the bar of North Carolina, and is now serving his second term in Congress. John F. Shafroth of Denver, Col., will undoubtedly occupy a board near the head of the list. He is not well informed on the openings, but after the initial stages are Representative Pearson. past he can he counted on to make a cred- itable showing. He is a very careful player and full of resources. Mr. Shafroth is a lawyer, and has practiced in Denver since 1879. He was born in Fayette, Mo., June 9, 1854, and is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Michigan. This is his second term in Congress. Robert N. Bodine of Paris, Mo., is the oldest member on either team, being fifty- Representative Plowman. nine years of age. He is one of the stead- jest players on the American team, and shows considerable familiarity with the openings. He is a graduate of the Mis- souri University and is a practicing law- yer. He is serving his first term in Con- zress. The youngest member on either team is Levin Irving Handy of Newark, Del., who was born at Berlin, Md., December 24, Horace Curzon Plunkett, M.. P. 1861. Mr. Handy fs an editorial writer and popular lecturer. He is quite proficient as a chess player, and if he should be at his Dest it will be difficult to defeat him. Thomas Scales Plowman of Talladega, Ala., has so much improved in his play the last two weeks that it is difficult to tell just where he stands compared with the rest of the players. He defeated two or three of them the fore part of the week, until Wednesday Mr. Handy, who had pre- viously lost to him, defeated him in two games. Mr. Plowman was mayor of his home place three times, and has been presi- dent of a bank for a number of years. He is fifty-four years of age. The average age of the respective teams 1s about the same, viz, between forty-nine and fifty years. ft is understood that one of the members of parliament has offered a handsome chess board, to be presented to the victors, and that the London Times has also offered to contribute a suitable trophy, which shall be held by the winner of the present match, subject to challenge by the loser. ‘Thus it may be that this is but the first of a series of cable matches between teams of the two legislative bodies mentioned. ‘The Austrian minister will act as referee at the A: end of the match. — Digging a posthole near his house, a Utah man last month found what proves to be an extremely valuable mine.

Differcnces of Opinion. There are evidently wide differences be- tween the two bocies. The virtual leader in tae Serate is Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island. He has had much experience in revenue legislation, and hi decided opin- ions. He clings to them with tenacity, and his hoid can be shaken only by the action of the Senate itself. What the Sonate may do with tae bill is of course problematical. It may rend the action of its finance com- mittee. It may make radical changes in the proposed amendments. The sugar schedule wiil undoubtedly lead to a bitter fight, equaling in intensity the tight over free hides and wool. Sectional fe2lings are already aroused, and may pr2dominate. It seems almost certain that the west will be arrayed against the east. Each will look for allies, and they are to be found only in the south. The debate in the Senate promises to be a cCntest of extraordisary interest. There will be flashes of populistic lighining and rever- berations of democratic thunder. The dis- cussion might well recall the days of Doug- las, Sumner, Toombs, Ben Wade and Fes- senden. There is fully as much ability and eloquence in the Senate today as in those troublous days. Sectionalism may not be so rampant, but it lies at the root of the con- tention, and will undoubtedly inspire much of the ciscursion. S-nators Hcar and Lodge are the equal of Sumner and Wilson. For- aker will undoubtedly flourish his fiery falchion and Tillman poise his pitchfork anew. Ailen of Nebraska will use congreve rockcis, and Vest shower the Senate with Greek fire.

Julius Caesar Burrows will undoubtedly be in the front lMne wielding the broad- sword of Kalamazoo, while Turple of In- diana uses his rapier of sarcasm in thrust and parry with the exquisite grace of an intellectual maitre d’armes. The leonine mane of Mason of Illinois is sure to be conspicuous. And Krute Nelson, the Vik- ing of Minnesota, may possibly create dis- may among his associates by hurling anew the javelin of free trade. Stewart of Ne- vada threatens to wave aloft the gonfalon of free silver, adding confusion to the con- test, wiile Gorman of Maryland and Dan- fel of Virginia, with others, will serve the demccratic guns with precision and regularity. The country may manifest an Interes: In the debate, but it will be far more interested in the result. It has well been said that what is fun for the Sen- ate is death to business. The members of the House of Representa- tives all have an active interest in the fate of the bill in the Senate. They re- celve in every mail protests from manu- facturers importers, and business generally, ageinst the action of the finance committee on certain schedules. - The rep- resentatives, however, are powerless. Even when the bill comes back to the House they will probably have no opportunity to offer amendments to it. They had no such opportunity when the Dingley bill origi- nally passed the House. and they will cer- tainly have rone after the bill reaches the stage of conference.

A hearing was given to all interests, and the bill was carefull not conscientiously, prepared by the rej lican majority of the committee. The ous schedules were referred to subcom- mittees, under the general supervision of the chairman of the ways and means, and their product was mortised in the bill. In the Senate it was different. Messrs. Ald- rich, Allison and Platt of Connecticut had charge of the measure. They gave no hearings, but appeared to have devoted their time and attention to the reconcilia- tion of conflicting interests. How well they have succeeded will be shown by the action of the Senate. Each committee spun its share of the web, and the spin- ning was done, not at the Capitol, but in the private parlors of well-known hotels. One thing is certain—the House will not knuckle under as it did in the Fifty-third Congress. It is in arms and will assert ite ccnstitutional rights. It cannot be threat- ened nor cajoled into a concurrence witlt the amendments proposed by the Senate finance committee. Its feeling is shown in the remark of a well-known republican statesman, who openly declares that the bill as amended by the Senate committee destroys more industries than it protects. On the other hand, the Senate very likely regards the prompt action of the House on the bill as an effort to ng er hsp nm the more augus' Z ‘WGhe feeling may be intensified by the oc- casional appearance of Speaker Reed in the Senate chamber. The settees are more comfortable there than those in the House, although the debates are hardly as enter- taining. Stolid and unemotional, Mr. Reed occasionally occupies a sett Ustening mechanically to the interminable flow of words. A man with a metallic tympanum would display far more interest. His warm- est friend ts Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa- chusetts, who always gives him a hearty greeting. The Retroactive Clause. The real secret of the action of the House was the desire to put the bill througa Con- gress with such rapidity as to save the rev- enue that might be lost by excessive im- portation. The retroactive clause was @ second thought. The inaction of the Sen¢ ete was apparently foreseen, and an at- tempt to discount it made. Everybody to- day agrees that the retroactive clause will fail. The Senate will never concur in such action. Indeed, the general is that the Supreme Court would declare it uncon- stitutional.
