It was -somewhat afles 6 o'clock before there were signs ofian American .victory. At table No. 3, when the Englishman's 24th move, Q R-K, Was received, it was seen that he had overlooked the threaten- ed mate-in three moves. Then there was @ discussion as to whether or not it was not the K's R that was intended instead of the QR, When Mr. Bodine had. made the two first moves of. the mate, Mr. Strauss resigned. The game was fairly well play- ed up to the time Mr. Strauss made his mistake on the 24th move. He had, if any- thing, an advantage by reason of his ad- vanced king’s pawn. There was loud clap- ping of hands when Mr. Strauss’ resigna- tion was received. 4 and 5 Conflicting Accounts’ Given of the Af- fair—Coroner’s Inquest to Be Held This Afternoon. Dorsey Foults, colored, who is said to be less than twerty-five years old, has served more than a score of sentences in the workhouse and jail, and one in the penitentiary, and row he is wanted by the police on a charge of murder. He killed his former, friend, a colored man namcd Charles Robinson, near 8d and Q streets northwest, yesterday afternoon by shooting him through the breast. The fatal affair occurred about 3:30 o%tlock; but the police knew nothing of it until about 4 o'clock, so that the alleged murderer bad a gcod chance to escape. He was among his own friends, when he did the killing, and none of them were in a hurry to inform on him. Even after the pclice had learned of the affair, and were ‘The storms and winds of trouble and sickness assail the mariner on life’s seas. : He must be clear-headed and strong-bod- | DISCUSSING THE GAMES ied if he would successfully combat them.

She has been known as Dorsey Foultz’s particular friend for a long time, and because of the notoriously bad repu- tation he bore, the other young colored men made no effort to rob him of her. They knew that he was a fighter, and that he did not always resort te the use of nature's weapons, for his term in the penitentiary was served for cutting another man. With these facts understood Dorsey usually had full sway where he went, and no one at- tempted to infringe upon his rights. Know- ing this, the police are satisfied that the killing was not because of jealousy. The Victim. Charles Robinson, the victim of yester- Mr. Pearson's. third move, B—B4, was not in accordance with the books, and gave his opponent an opportunity to get a strong | center. Then Mr. Pearson lost time by his queen and pawn moves. The game lasted about an hour, which did not afford time for that serious study so necessary in match games. A Friendly Game. At the conclusion of the regular game Mr. Plunkett suggested a friendiy game between the two leading players, the result not to count in the match. The propost- tion was readily accepted, and then fol- lowed another rapjd game, Mr. Pearson re- needs. Weak and nervous men and women become strong and vigorous with its use.

Mr. Handy took fifteen or twenty minutes to make his 35th move. It was thought he could win by other methods, but it is believed the move chosen will insure a victory. Mr. Handy played steadily and with much care. and thought throughout the day. At boerd No. 2, Mr. Shafroth was mak- ing a hard fight to win from his able op- ponent, Mr. Parnell. Both parties lost time by useless moves, but on the whole the game up to adjournment was quite creditable. The position at the close of the day was slightly in favor of the Amer- ican, but it will require great care to maintain it. $2.00 To i= their product and make an oe | Savectisian test, the manufacturers of U.

On resigning Mr. Pearsen sent the fol- lowing message: “Mr. Pearson resigns to Mr. Plunkett, with renewed assurances of his distinguished consideration. The reply was very prompt: “Plunkett thanks his courteous opponent, and hopes to meet him in America in the fall.” Excellent Telegraphic Facilities. The reply was received in the remark- able time’ of thirty-five seconds from the time the original message was sent, which undoubtedly breaks the records in cable communication for messages of that length.

He had never been known to commit a serious offense, but the police say his reputation was not very good. Messrs. Plowman and Atherly-Jones are playing a very interesting game. On his 22d move Mr. Plowman gave up a bishop for two pawns. He had an opportunity to regain the piece for nothing on his 28th meve, but must have overlooked it. He will undoubtedly yet recover the piece. Mr. Jones, however, has made an attack on the queen's side, which Mr. Plowman will do well to study, before pushing too vigorously on the king's side. It is hard to pick the winner in this game, as there are pitfalls on both sides. Interest in the Contests. The tables at which were seated the American players were surrounded continu- ally by groups of prominent persons who took a deep interest in the match and talk- ed with each other about the moves. It frequently became necessary to caution the spectators, so that the players should rot be disturbed. In the room of the judiciary committee were set up boards for the accommoda- tion of those not entitled to access to the room in which were the player: These boards were in charge of members of the Washington Chess Club. There was no restriction as to noise, and every one who cared to do so expressed an opinion on the merits of the poygs. A number of expert players were in the room, and the flaws were quickly ‘picked out and freely commented on. Mr, Handy’s game was closely watched It was. thought he push- ed his pawns too rapidly, and the opinion at the close seemed‘to! be that the game was going against the American by rea- son of the Britisher’s quéen's rook’s pawn.

When the matter of yesterday had been fully investigated, the police concluded that the only motive Foultz had was to avenge the sending to prison of his friend, Gabriel Walker, who had kept a “speak easy.’ Walker's “speak easy" was conducted in opposition to the licensed saloons in the neighborhood, and it is suspected that he had some silent partners in the business. But, as in the case with so many violators of law, he became -so bold that he was finally caught. Robinson was a witness against him, and when Gabriel was sent to jail Robinson was talked of as an in- former. His former friends were friends no longer and Robinson had to look for new companions. The feeling against him is said to have been very bitter, and this, it is thought, was the real cause of the homicide. Rushing the Growler. The shooting occurred near the entrance to an alley which ieads north from Q street, In the rear of the 3d street houses. There 1s also a vacant lot there, and it is not an unusual sight to see colored men stop at that point and “rush the growler” to a saloon in the neighborhood. This is what was done yesterday, and it was dur- ing the time the beer was disappearing that the shooting was done. All of the witnesses found by the police agree that there was nothing said between Foultz and his victim before the shooting, although they do not agree on other points. One version of the affair is that Foultz had sent to the saloon at 4th and Q streets and got a can of beer, and was there on the lot with Emma White when Robinson came along and was shot down. According to the statements of this witness, Foultz had drunk some of the beer from the can and had handed it over to Emma, who was partaking of the liquid when her com- panion drew his revolver and fired. An- other version given the officers is that Foultz was seated in a wagon, near the mouth of the alley, talking to another man, and the woman’ was standing on the ground. Rebinson, this report has it, was drinking beer from the can, and Foultz drew his weapon to fire. He hesitated, and the man ta whom he was talking is re- ported to have said to him, “Let him have ”* whereupon he fired the shot. is sald that Foultz then put the weapon in his pocket, and walked away, going in the direction of Florida avenue. A colored man named Allen Corbett fol- lowed him as far as the dump, on Ist street, in the county, intending to arrest him and turn him over to the police, but when Dorsey reached the dump he. reload- e@ his weapon and Corbett was frightened off.

Shilling Determised to Bring Back the Trophy—Company Will Compete With Crack Shots. In order to defend the title cf champion military company of the United States, won a year ago at Savannah, Ga., the Morton Cadets—Company B, 2d Battalion, District of Columbia National Guard—recently ac- cepted the challenge of the Belknap Rifles to compete for the championship cup in the interstate competitive drill to be held at San Antonio, Texas, July 17 to July 25, both® inclusive. With that end in view, Captain Shilling’s command wil! this even- ing begin drilling preparatory to-the big contest. The company’ will be hard at work every evening until the time for departure for Texas, with the exception of Sundays, and excepting also the ten days spent in the coming camp of the District National Guard at Fort Washington, Mary- lend. A Big Undertaking. The trip to far-away Texas will be a big undertaking for the youthful guardsmen, far more so than most people realize. The disturbing dissensicns made manifest with- in the organization last winter left the company in a somewhat ruptured condi- tien, and it Is practically the same for the beys as beginning all over again. How- ever, it is characteristic of Captain Shii- lirg to always look on the bright side of everything, and he expressed himself as ecnfident that the company would not only participate in the Texas drill, but that he will carry away from Washington the best drilled team ever urder his command, and that, furthermore, it will be awarded first place, and incidentally the Galveston semi-centennial championship cup, perhaps the St. Louls drill cup and $3,000) in cash. The Mortons will be the only company to represent Washington and the District National Guard in the San Antonio compe- tition. It was thought that the National Fencibles, upon again joining forces with the guard, would surely participate in the next big drill contest in order to retrieve lost honors, but the company having al- ready arranged several trips of some mag- nitude for the summer and fall, finds it im- possible to journey to Texas. Nearly every cne, and particularly the local guardsmen, is desirous of again having the Morions and Fencibles pitted against each other in an interstate contest; but, under the cir- ‘cumstances, all are very well satisfied with the Morton Cadets as the representatives of the military of the capital city. Confronted With a Problem. It may be well to state at the outset that the Morton Cadets, as well as every drill company that is to visit San Antonio, will be confronted by a problem hard io solve. San Antonio is the home of the Belknap Rifles, the first company to win the fa- mous Galveston cup. This Texas city dur- ing the past dozen years has been the home of half a dozen other crack com- panies, and it is stated that the large ma- jority of the male residents between the ages of twenty and thirty-five years have urdergone a thorough military training. In organizing the Belknap Rifles’ drill team for the coming competition, piain Mc- Ado had practically the whole city to pick from. He has been drilling the command every night for severai weeks past, and will continue to do so right up to the date of the contest. Furthermore, the Belknap Rifles will have no traveling to do, and it would seem that their chances for victory are very bright indeed. But Captain Shil- ling is not affected in the slightest by the situation that confrouts him. Lapsiug into slang, for the nonce, he says he expects to find the Belknaps “dead easy.”” The indications are that the San Antonio drill will be of greater magnitude than any event of a similar character since the big contest in this city in 1887. In a communi- cation to The Star, Mr. L. C. Irvine, the general manager of the Interstate Drill As- sceiation, says: “I feel sure that this wii be by far the largest camp of Instruction ever held in this country in time of peace, as we are pesitively assured of 2,000 Téxas troops apd 1,000 regulars, with 500 soldiers out- side of the state for the competitive drill alone. Many mere will come to avail them- selves of the camp of instruction. Adjutant General Mabry’s View. Adjt. Gen. Mabry of Texas, who is also the custodian of the Galveston cup, will be the commandant of the encampment at San Antonio. Gen. Mabry accepted the com- mand on condition that the additional lia- bility of adding a camp of instruction for the entire volunteer guard of Texas would be assumed by the association. He ex- plained that in doing this the association would enable him to order every company in the state into camp. This would give, in round numbers, 2,000 soldiers, about 300 cavalry and artillery, and the balance in- fantry. Gen. Mabry stated that the uniformly favorable view taken by the War Depart- ment of camps of instruction would insure hearty co-operation of the three arms of the regular service, and without doubt, adding the outside companies, there would be at least 3,000 soldiers massed, a sight probably never seen by any citizen of the south since the war. It would make the largest camp of instruction ever held in this country, and will in no way interfere with the competitive drills. On the con- trary, outfitting prizes offered by the state to its local companies would aggregaie thousands of dollars, and add to the in- terest of the event very materially. With the promise that Adjt. Gen. Mabry will order all of the state guard to San Antonio, the railroads of Texas have vol- unteered to transport to and from that city all soldiers of the volunteer service of Texas in uniform free of charge. The Thurston Rides. One of the strongest reasons why the the San Antonio competition is that they will be afforded an_ opportunity to again meet the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb. It will be remembered that at Memphis, in May, 1895, the Thurstons won the cham- pionship, finishing but a few points ahead of the Mortons in the race for the cup. In a drill known as class B, the Mortons proved themselves superior to the Thurs- tons, while the latter finished ahead of the local company in the maiden drill. Commanded by the former captain, and for the most part consisting of members of the old champion Omaha Guards, it was charged that the Thurston Rifles were merely the Omaha Guards, masquerading under a new name in order to permit of their entry in the maiden contest. The Thurston Rifles failed to appear Savannah last year, and have poe refused to surrender possession of the Gal- veston cup, otra the trophy was offi- warded to the Morton » The try, country, drills.
