The American FederauosM has this
tk aa article frcn Sidney J. Knt,
dp'-ty labor corasaifciocer of Ne
braska, lit riie sorae of his views
concerning the great trad union con
rres bell la England. It will be in
tereetl&r to many farmers who have
long been idrttJid with the populist
party. Mr. Kent says:
The thirty-third lirit!sh trade un
ion ccaxr has paused into history.
Thirty yesr axo it represented a very
l!zsld cctnltaeacr and a still more
Halted isf cesce. Today it represents
eotue twr ciUIors of worker and es
says to gj voice to the aspiration and
;ptals and probata of the toiler" of
the entire Unite Kingdom. It in
fluence today is Indeed far-reaching.
iany of Its demands have long since
passed Into law or become the custom
of the land.
The eight-hour day and the half
holiday on Saturday in that country
are now quite generally observed,
especially the latter, and the benefits
accruing In the municipalization of
many public utilities are no longer
questioned.
In Huddersfield. where the congress
was fcelu, we found that not only does
the city own its own water, gas and
electricity, public parks, baths, street
railways, etc., but like many other
cities In Great Britain, it Is entering
Into competition with the landlord,
and up to the present time has built
some one hundred and eighty (180)
workingmen's houses.
AH these things have been largely
brought about through the congress,
for in this body sits twelve members
of parliament, probably some sixty or
eighty members of city councils, and
almost as many Justices of the peace,
or magistrates.
The deliberations of this body are
marked by a dignity, decorum and In
telligence that cannot be surpassed by
any deliberative body that I have ever
seen. The system of public schools
Inaugurated some thirty years ago has
wrought a moet wonderful change in
the people of Great Britain. And this
is true, especially of the men and wo
men engaged In those trades that long
ago gained the shorter workday. To
this has been supplemented the ex
perience and knowledge gained in the
meeting room. In the bargaining with
the employer. In the advantage of
travel aEd interchange of views. For
the leaders of most of the organiza
tions In the congress attend the an
nual International conferences of their
respective trades which are held at
various points on the continent, prev
iously selected; so that not only ari
they conversant with the conditions
of their craft in their own country,
but in other countries as well. And so
there has grown up a body of strong,
intelligent and broad-minded men, de
void of that provincial bias that in
the past has given rise to those na
tional prejudices that have proved
such a barrier to that fraternity of
feling so essential to peace and good
will, among men and among nations.
Th? program of the congress con
sisted of reroli'tlotis submitted by the
various organizations comprising the
corgress and also or recommendations
prepared by the parliamentary com
mittee who sit in conference for six
days in advance of the opening of the
convention. The parliamentary com
mitter censists of twelve men selected
by vote of the congress. This com
mittee looks after all the legislation
pertaining to labor, prepares bills and
carries out as far as possible all the
recommendations and resolutions of
the parent body.
The meeting held at Huddersfield
this year, and of which I had the
honor of attending as one of the two
fraternal delegates representing the
American federation of labor, was
especially interesting and consisted of
resolutions pertaining to: Old age
pensions: fair wages in government
employment; workmen's compensation
for Injuries; compulsory arbitration;
mine and river regulation; co-operation
and trades unionism; postoffice
reform; civil rights In postoffice; in
spection of steam engines and boilers;
workrnea's cheap trains; amendment
to factory acts; housing of the work
ing classes and taxing of land values;
eight-hour day; child labor and La
bor Day. i
SENATORIAL VACANCY

Some time ago Senator Davis slight
ly wounded one of his toes and com
plications of all sorts resulted, among
tbtra blood-poisoning. If was an

complications disclosed by the bulle
tin issued Tuesday by the physicians
In attendance upon Senator C. K.
Davis have greatly depressed his fam
ily and friends, who hitherto have
ben hopeful of a favorable outcome of
his prolonged illnes3. His wife, his
aged parents and two sisters, who are
in constant attendance upon him, now
fully realize the probability of a fatal
result and that at no. distant time. It
is said that the senator himself is not
cognizant of the extremely serious
character of his illness, thought he, of
course t aware that he is being treat
ed for another and posribly more ser
ious ailment than that with which he
at first contended. The presence of

Senator Davi3 family fear that his
weakened system will hardly enable
him to fight the disease as he might
have done had he not been subjected
to a wearisome siege cf nine weeks.
It Is said the senator suffers but little
pain and the wounded foot Is begin
ning to hcj.1 nicely, and but few un
favorable symptoms are noted so far
as it is concerned. A statement was
made by a close friend of the family,
who raid:
"Dra. Stone and Lankester discov
ered evidences of Brlght's disease. Up
to that time no organic kidney trouble
bad been disclosed. Upon this dis
covery it was thought best to acquaint
Dr. Murphy of Chicago of the changed
conditSors. Dr. Murphy arrived and
corroborated the diagnosis. He re
gards the case now as grave, for kid
ney trouble at this stage is a serious
symptom. When Dr. Murphy was last
here he believed there was a fair
chance for recovery. Ht Is cot so san
guine now."
Will NOT ACCEPT
A New York paper sent a telegram
asking Mr. Bryan if he would be a
candidate for senator. He replied as
follows:
"Yon may say officially that under
no circumstances would I accept the
office of United States senator, even
were it tendered me. I made my fight
for the pretidency and lost. I am not
going to take other men's positions
from thera. W. J. BRYAN."

Why should any chess player object
to having published a game he lost?
The loser of the following game be
lieved he had mado no egregious blun

the mate was too fine to be hidden
from others. Hence, he sent it to the
Brooklyn Eagle; and that paper said:

TWENTIETH CENTURY TOURNA
MENT. This Is the biggest tournament by
correspondence ever begun ii thj
United States, and speaks volumes for
the officers of the Pillsbury National
Correspondence Chess association, who
engineered the affair. On October 25
the entries closed and 153 players were
notified to begin play. Under the rules
each player must take up at least four
games; hence, over 300 games by mail
are going on at this time.
The United States is divided into
eight divisions, as follows: "
Eastern N. Y., Pa., N. J., Del., Md.
and D. C.
Central 111., Mich., O., Ind. and Ky.
Midland Mo., Ia., Neb. and Kas.
New England Me., N. H., Vt., Mass..

Atlantic Va., W. Va., N. C, S. C,
Ga. and Fla.
Western Colo., Wyo., Mont., Idaho,
Utah, Ariz., Nev., Wash., Ore., Cal.,
and N. M.
In each division the players are di
vided Into sections of not more than
seven players each. It is desired that
each section contains exactly seven,
and entries will still be received to fill
vacancies In any section. The follow
ing table shows how the divisions and
sections are filled:

The chess players of the Midland di
vision are to be congratulated upon
the number of entries. The four mid
land states have more than one-eighth
of all the players engaged in the tour
nament. The three sections of our
division are as follows: '
Section 1. C. C. Hunt, N. A. Vcss,

or to fill vacancies In the Twentienth
Century tournament, may still be
made. Write to L. W. Parke, 371 For
tieth street, Chicago, about the mat

300 at least.
SAM M. LE ROY'S REMARKS.
Mr. Le Roy, edits the Enterprise,
Healdsburg, Cal., but finds time to
study chess now and then. His com
ments on the Wurzburg problem (No.
31) ought to be helpful to our students
of synthetic problems. He says:
"Your problem No. 31 by Otto Wurz
burg is solved as follows:
Key-move, Kt Kt 7.
White Black.
1. ....... K""R 7
2. R Q 3, K R 8
3. R- R a mate.
If black replies to key-move with
K R 6, then
2. XxP, K R 7
3. R R 4 mate.
We are. asked to . take white king,
rook, knight, . bishop and pawn and
black king and pawn,, and so arrange
them on the chess board that, by mak
ing the above moves solving the Wurz
burg problem, . black king will be
mated in three moves;
The first piece to place is the Kt
at K Kt 7.
Black K can move to only two places
Q R 6 and Q R 7. To do so he must
originally have been on Kt 6 or Kt 7.
He evidently cannot cross the line
homeward over black's fifth row. nor
can he crosss Q B file due to white's
pieces. He is in a corner. Of the
pieces enumerated only the rook can
successfully hold the row across the
board and as he moves from this row
to Q 3, we will put him on Q 4. Good.
Of the pieces left the K ia best cal
culated to hold the B l"le, so we place
him on the same and find he must
have help. The P and B are available.
Either will do if placed at Q 2 with K
at Q B. This position forces us to put
black K on Q Kt 6. All right.
We use the P at Q 2 as It Is less bru-r
tally bloodthirsty than the B, is fully
as effective, and with this force we can
make the moves as stated in the solu
tion and mate in three moves, but we
hate left over black P and white B.
It Is often in problems and actual
play that one's own pieces are In one's
own way. In problems particularly It
helps to mystify the one trying to
solve a hard one by so placing one of
these hindrances In the way of success.
As we have so far arranged them, and
Judging by the Kt key-move appar
ently erratic, senseless, a regular time
move it must intend to block white B
if placed at K R 8. If B be placed there
and Kt be placed most anywhere else,
than blocking, it permits of possible
stalemate. Then, too, if we put B on
K R. 8, having in view the author's
possible stalemate, it presents the only
excuse for the B's existence. Any
where else would be of no value and
less beauty, and might permit a mate
in a less number of moves. We'll
therefore leave him on K R 8.
As black is evidently compelled to
move his K it follows the black P is
blocked somewhere. There is only one
place on the board where he can be
blocked and what is on Q B 7 right
in front of white K.
Now, Mr. Editor, you say: "Let our
solvers discover why it would be an
exceedingly difficult matter to set it
u from the: printed solution and
pieces given." , t
To K Kt 7 the Kt can come from
four places on tha board, and there is
no way to discover where he came
from. He can come from either K 8,
K 6, B 5 and R 5.. It is not only ex
ceedingly difficult to guess with cer
tainty, but absolutely impossible
providing of course my solution to this
Wurzburg problem is correct.
SOLUTIONS AND SOLVERS.
Synthetic No. 10: Brother Walcott
of the Boston Post calls this problem
a "flip-flop;" that is, the position may
be transposed just turning over a flap
jack. One position is 5 R 2. 8. 3 kt
1 p 2. Kt 1 R b k B Kt 1. 3 kt 4. 6 P
K. 8. 3 Q 4. The other is 2 R 5. 8. 2 p
1 kt 3. 1 Kt B k b R 1 Kt. 4 kt 3. K P
6. 8. 4 Q 3. ,The key move Is Q R 5,
mate in two. . In the first position Q
R 5 means Q K R 5, of course; and In
the second, Q Q R 5; but the printed
solution fits either position. The
white king is not needed in giving the
mate and may stand also at K R 4,
Q R 4, K,R 6, Q R 6, Q Kt, K Kt, Q 7,
K 7, K B or Q B in the position and its
"flip-flop.! We credit eight points
for either position; sixteen for both;
and one point addition for each white
king position given.
Rev. Th. Eggen, Madison, Wis., and
Sam M. Le Roy, Healdsburg, Cal., ar
range the black knights a little dif
ferently. Mr. Eggen's position, 2 R 5.
4 K 3. 2 p 1 kt 3. 1 Kt B k b R 1 Kt,
kt 7. 3 P 4. 3 Q 4. 8. can be 'cooked" by
I. Q K 3, any; 2 QxB mate. Mr. Le
Roy avoids this "cook" by placing the
white K at K 3, with other pieces as
Mr. Eggen gives them. I cannot find a
way to set Mr. Le Roy back; so give
him credit for 8 points. Other solvers

. NOTES.
Sam M. Le Roy A "cook" is a solu
tion of a problem not anticipated or
Intended by the composed. So says
George H. Wralcott and George
knows. , f
Rev. J. A. Younkins In your posi
tion, synthetic No. 10, QxB mate does
the work. Synthetic No. 11 has a
"short mate." In other words black
may initiate a line of play against
which white can force mate in less
than the Indicated number of moves.
It Is not a two-mover, but a three-er
with a short mate.
Lee Edwards, Dun!ap, Ia., complains
that , this department is "degenerat
ing" Into problem-solving column.
Then why not furnish that game study
on the Q gambit declined, Lee? That
might save us from reaching the driv
elling stage!
Regarding the Gansser-Gorden game
(Michigan vs. Ohio) published in game
studies No. 20, October 11, Sam M. Le
Roy says:
"It strikes me the move which black
thought would be a draw was Kt K 2,
for if white moves his Q out of danger
he loses her to avoid mate in three.
This Kt move opens up a very rocky
trail, for white K's cramped, pestered
and given little resting places only at
valuable losse3. which must finally end
In defeat, while "black's position is
strong and very effective. The trou
ble began with white's 7th BxKt."
Retains all Members
President McKinley has announced
clearly and forcefully to the members
of his cabinet his desire that they
should all remain with him during
the next four years of his coming ad
ministration. His wishes were made
known in an extended speech at the
cabinet meeting in the White house
Tuesday. Responses were made by all
of the members present, and while
there were no definite pledges from
any of them that they would accept
the portfolios tendered afresh there
was, on the other hand, no definite
declination. This announcement by
the president relieves the members of
the cabinet of the customary obliga
tion of tendering their resignations at
the end of the term, unless they have
made Irrevocable decision that it will
be impossible for them to continue in
office. It also sets at rest all specula
tion and slate-making of the coun
try's prophets, for it is understood
that there is but one doubtful factor
in the homogehity of the present cab
inet. That factor is Attorney General
Griggs, as he hold3 his present posi
tion at a great financial sacrifice. Still
Mr. Griggs replied in terms of warm
appreciation of the complimentary re
marKs of the president, and voiced no
intention of retiring from his present
position. - ,
Probable Reapportionment
There probably will be considerable
increase both in the ratio and the total
number pf representatives under the
apportionment to be made by congress.
Starting with a ratio of one to every
thirty thousand inhabitants, there
were sixty-five representatives in the
first congress. The eleventh census in
1890 gave a population of 62,622,250, or
an increase of 12,500,000. The ratio
was 173,901 people to each representa
tive and the house numbered 356 mem
bers. The ratio under the new census
probably will reach 200,000. With an
increase of 13,225,464 shown by the
present census and letting majority
fractions of the apportionment, as has
been the custom, count for an addi
tional member this would make an in
crease of eighteen members in the
next house.
Reapportionment on this basi3
would cause only four states to lose
representatives. They are Maine and
Virginia in the east and Kansas and
Nebraska in the west. These states
would lose one member each. Any
ratio smaller than 200,000 would save
them their representation and would
cause a considerable addition to the
membership.
Don't Toast the Queen
Among all the regiments that swear
fealty to Queen Victoria there is but
one which does not toast her ma
jesty at mess. This is the 7th fusiliers,
and the regiment is extremely proud
of Its distinction. It appears that on
one occasion, a very long time ago,
the King of England dined with the
officers of the regiment, and after din
ner declared that "the loyalty of the
7th fusiliers was sufficiently well as
sured' for It to discontinue for the
future drinking the sovereign's health.
The officers took the monarch at his
word and never since that day has
the royal toast been proposed. The
Welch fusiliers have a strange army
toast, which may be spoken of in this
connection. It forms part of the cere
money of the grand banquet given an
nually on St. David's day. After din
ner the drum-major, accompanied by
the goat, the regiment's mascot, be
decked with ribbons and rosettes of
red and blue, marches round the ta
ble carrying a plate of leeks. Every
officer or guest who has never eaten
leeks before is required to do so on
this occasion, standing with one foot
on his chair, the other on the table,
while the drummer beats a roll behind
his chairman. This toast to St. David
is considered as transforming the
novitiate Into a true Welshman.
