DCS MOINES , March 19. ( Specfal Tele
gram. ) It U practically certain that the
[ board of control bill will be reached for dis
cussion Tuesday morning In the house. The
lower assembly today adjourned until Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. At that tlmo
the bill will probably bo read and amend
ments offered , The house committee will
report the senate bill nvltha few amend
ments , but It Is believed the bill will pass
the lower chamber by Thursday or Friday
at the outside. The clause legislating the
( present superintendents and wardens Into
office for another four years promises to bo
one bf the sticking points , although It Is be
, lieved by the committed leaders that opposi
tion to this provision will bo defeated. On
another point , lion ever , the senate Is more
likely to bo reversed. There Is a growing
fiollng In the house that It should have a
voice In the confirmation of the board. A
vigorous protest will be made for an amend
ment covering this point. The 'house com
mittee , amor. ? other amendment ! ) , will re
port one providing supervision of the finan
cial management of three educational Instltu-
tlonfl which are exempt from the Interference
of the board In their general conduct. It la
understood they arc disposed to accepttho
amendment without protest. Of direction
nrr\ \ dispatch , In Ita consideration , however ,
the bill Is practically assured. The house
has grown Impatient with the long delay In
the senate and will crowd It to Its earliest
possible passage. The friends of the bill are
backed by a good working majority and un
reasonable delay will not 'be ' tolerated.
The executive council has'completed Its
bearings on the railroad assessment and Mill
next week fix the valuations of the various
lliioa. The Milwaukee , Rock Island and
Hturllngton have been making a vigorous
light on tlio Northwestern , which Is work
ing against an Increase of Its assessment.
They protest that their earnings show a de
crease , whllo those of Hie Northwestern
liave Increased during the last year. Judge
'
'Ilubbard , representing the Northwestern , to
day accused the other roadJ of making false
returns of their cainlngs. The result was a
Bomowhat heated Interchange of
compll-
I . snents between himself atiJ Carroll Wright ,
.representing the Rock Island. If the assess ,
mciit of the other roads Is decreased that of
'tho ' 'Northwestern ' Is certain to bo raised ,
and hence the strife.
The house committee on Judiciary today
reported favorably Senator Bolter's bill es
tablishing the center of the Missouri river as
the western limit of the state's Jurisdiction.
The measure , which has already passed the
senate , has therefore a very fair chance of
getting through the loner cliamber.

Colonel J. H. Pratt of this city returned
homo yesterday fl4r7fi trip of twclvo diya
In Cuba. Ho was accompanied by his daugh.
ter , Miss Pratt , and xrfrlng much of the tlmo
was asclatcd with Scnalor Proctor of Ver
mont , to whom the Pratta are distantly re
lated. At Havani they stopped at the same
hotel with Captain Slgsbco and Consul Ge'n-
oral Lee.
It Is the opinion of Colonel Pratt that the
Malho was blown Up from the1 outside , but
not by a torpedo. Ho does not ) believe It to
hnvo been possible for otto torpedo to blow
up an Imracfiro ship like the Maine Into such
an unrecognizable mass as ho saw In the
harbor of Havana. He says It Is the opinion
of the American ofilplals with whom ho waa
thrown Into contact that the Maine- was
.blown up by , followers of Weylcr , who ex
ploded , a mlnn that had 'been planted by
Wcyjes In tha harbor , Colonel Pratt tells n
sud story of the 'suffering at Matauzas ,
gullc" < ho visited. Ho says lie never saw
such : suffering in fils life before nnd was so
thoroughly slckonccj by the sight of It that
he , could not go to other points thit were
on the party's Itinerary. He endorses Sen
ator Proctor's report nnd believes tint the
American government should at once do
something toward gl\lng the Cubans Ihoir

NEW YORK. Much 19. The International

the United I States , which began jestcrday ,
vas , won by the Uritbhors ty 54 to 4',4 ramcs.
Last year the Americans wcro defeated by
their opponents by exactly 'the same figures ,
while In the first nutcb , played two years
ego , the Americans were victorious by 4Vi
to 3 gamcj.
Following are the details
of play on all the
board :
I'llMbury played n '

, who declined to accept the

which
Deemed to bo of
great ndvnntnsi\
\
However
, the advantage seemed not etrontf
enough to win , and ! although
PIINbury
wac-
rlflcet hit pn\n to
get nn attack , howas
finally ; obliged to accept a draw.
Show niter's play against Burn .
.was also
played a quecn'tt gambit declined and wns
masterly ! throughout , bis brllll.int sicrlllce
being iv piece of work tahlch rjnvo the Ken-
tucklun the victory.
The Bo'-tonlnn , Berry , selected n qinen'a
ambit opening against Caro. Although It
looked for a time as If the latter li.id the
better position , Barry , by a very Ingenious
and clever i play , brought about thu defeat
of hLs celebrated adversary.
A very Interesting jr.une was played on the
fourth board between
Atkins anil
Hym < \
The New Jersey champion selected n
From dofcn&o und B.IVP Atkins an oppor
limit : to make a brilliant .sacrifice of a
piece Then , however , Hyme < r came up to
the dccnslon by a most wondeiful defensive
tnctle , nnd secured n draw.
Not too much praise can be bestowed upon
Holg , who conducted1 n liny Lopez against
Belllngham. The Staten IMander excelled
botli In aggressive nnd defensive move
nicnt ; and by .sheer hard , work he adminis
tcred defeat to Ms rival.
Di-Imar was out of form in his contest.

A long I drawn out game endued between
Biiii '
and LOCOC'A This was an oven con
test throughout. From beginning to end
neither side was able ito claim any dis

nnd so only a draw was the legitimate re
suit. Young , who conducted a French defense
against Jacksonanil _ Itoblnson. who played

Galbraltli : , who had to contend with a
queen's i > a.Aii opening of Trenchard , were

WATCHED IN LONDON.
LONDON , March 19. The closing hero of
the play In the International cable rhesa
match was watched with tlio greatest Inter
est and the result was greeted with heartiest
cheers for the 'American team.
Sir George Nownes , president ot the Brit
ish Chess club , said : "It was a most de
lightful match and passed off without a
hitch of any Kind , just as might be expected
between such sportsmanlike opponents. The
next time I will give a cup twice the size. "
Though the match Is considered won , the
games between Plllsbury nnd Blackburn , and
Locock ami Balrd , attracted the groitest at
tention. Blackburn slid :
"Tho last ten hours of my game have been
a draw , of course. Plllsbury sacrificed li'o
game In the Interest of the maSth. Had the
matter gene to Lasker ho could not have
decided except In favor of n draw. "
Other experts are of the opinion that had
the game been finished Plllsbury would have
won. The Locock-Balrd game was consid
ered a draw with "Locock In the better posi
tion.
tion.The
The attendance nt the close exceeded that
of yesterday's play. The match paid for
Itself , showing the Increased Interest felt In
the competition yearly.
