An exunii ationin the game is held annually in tiie upper form of the school, and the 1 six players, who, however, have be victorious throe times running, i presented with a chess board, and asted for a whole long summer's day.

The custom is said to nave originated several centuries ago, when a recalci priest from Halberstadt was sent intd exile at Strobeck. Time lianging si heavily on his hands, he in? structed the peasants in the game of and over sinco then the game lias gone down from generation to generation.

When it is known how readily the stems allow themselves to be deprived of their coating of bark and fiber it will bo seen what an ad? vantage this simple fact gives the new product over many of the fiber pro? ducing plants.

All that is required is to cut the stems, which arc fully ten feet long, split the bark at the larger end and strip oil' the hark from end to end without stopping, as fortunately the stems have no side branches.

Tlio Million Dnll.tr Offer. Tlie next business in or.ler was the iresen ting of communications, Presi? dent Nick Young read a letter contain? ing an offer of $1,000,030 for tlte franchises and clubs of the National League and asked what the meeting wished to do with it. Some one sug? gested that inasmuch as tho question would probably have to be discussed at considerable length before being settled it would be a good plan to adjourn for dinner.

It was accordingly decided to postpone matters until o'clock. Instead of resuming business at 3:30 it was nearly (i o'clock when the second session was called to order. 000 offer was the first matter to come before the meeting and it was imme? diately laid upon the table. A Brotherhood Communication Tabled. Then a communication from P.

U. Pruned, secretary of the Brotherhood, was read. It referred to the arrange? ment of Players' League dates and con? tained a request that the lioague repeal its resolution to boycott all clubs play? ing against the Brotherhood. The com? munication was tabled without discus? sion. The schedule committee presented the following recommendation: That the mileace for each club be averaged and the costs computed on the basis of four? teen men at a fixed rate per tnile each.

All clubs below tho average will bo required to pay an amount into the League treasury to equal tho average: the clubs having paid on the same basi san amount exceeding the av? erage be reimbursed such amount at the close of tho season. The recommendation was unani? mously adopted. A brief discussion of the general features of the schedule a9 arranged by the committee then en? sued, after which tho meeting ad? journed. Knmors Concerning Washington. It is rumored in the corridors of the Waddell house that Washington is to sell out to Detroit, but all League men who have been approached say there is no foundation for such a story.

They say that the transfer of the Washington team to Detroit would throw their circuit out of balance, put? ting six clubs in the west and leaving only four in the east, which is a con? summation they do not wish. Qne of the strongest evidences of the falsity of the rumor is the fact that the Detroit people are negotiating with Bos? ton for the transfer of Pitcher Frank Nauss to Kansas City. Nauss is here and he said that Manager Lead ley, of Detroit had advised him to go to Bos? ton if a chance was offered. The Lalinno Case. Ralph Cohen, of the Columbus club, and John B.

Day, of New York, had a long conference with regard to the La hane case. Cohen displayed several letters showing that the Columbus club had a right to negotiate with Lahane at the time he was signed, but Day was not disposed to give up his claim to the man. When last seen Cohen was vow? ing vengeance upon the League. Day says he intends to let the board of ar? bitration settle the matter. It is the general belief that the League will not got through here before Thurs? day or Friday.

The work up to this time is considered a mere beginning.

STON'S ADDRESS, the Administration nnd Is Speaker Hundred i Receive Hospitable Wel Ln Active Canvass for tho Pres lencT of tlio Organization. Nashville, March Republican League of tho United States was called to order yesterday afternoon. President Thturston made a rattling speech. All the delegates had arrived by noon and the utmost good feeling prevailed. Nashville is flooded.

Tho land river is fifty feet deep and has overflowed lower part of the town, immersing some houses to tho eaves. The recent cold wave had a good effect, however, and the river is expected soon to recede. But the flood of? the Cumberland is as nothing com? pared with the flood of Republi? cans which lias in? vaded the city. From north, from south, from east, 3' w' Tm uvrox from west, the delegates flowed in until now there are more Republicans in the city than it has seen together in many years. Nashville is a hospitable city and it is doing its best to entertain the present visitors.

The Convention It was after 12 o'clock, the hour for the assembling of the convention, when the delegates were called to order. The states' delegations commenced to ar? rive shortly after it o'clock. From that on until the assemblage was called to order the members spent the time in admiring the beautiful decorations and doing some sharp political work for the next president of the organization. When the Hon. A.

J. Watson, chair? man of tho local executive committee, called the assembly to order and made the address of welcome, there were nearly (500 delegates in the seats. At least 100 more are expected before tho convention adjourns. President TThantton's Address. The Hon.

Ci. N. Tillman. Cant Will iam Rule, editor of The Knoxville Journal, and W. G.

Winstead, all of Tennessee, followed with brief addresses, after which the convention was turned over to President Thurston, of Ne? braska. Mr. Thurston began by saying that the were organized for an emergency and in the hent and enthusiasm of a national campaign. It seemed doubtful whether such organization could lone survive the imme? diate necessities of their creation. In Spite of this, however, he believed the Republican League to be stronger now than it was a year ago.

The league, he said, is the land.wehr of the Republican party. It is its organized, active, aggressive force, always reaily. It can enter npon a political campaign at a moment's no? tice. It is not intended that It shall take the place of or antagonize, the regular party or? ganization, but rather that it shall co-operate with and in wimc respects be auzilliary to. It is a matter for profound congratu hit ion that the presldont of the United States a Republican.

His administration should be upheld und strengthened by the Republican League and I ask this convention to Indorse It by proper resolutions. Wo rejoice today that we have a Republican congress and that Tom Reed is speaker of it. filg. brawny and brave, ho cannot be bullied or bamboozled. When he refused to permit a minority either to rule or ruin heput an cud forever to a per? nicious practice.

The claim of the Democratic congressman is moro than absurd; it is ridiculous. He is always present for buncombe, but not for business; for salary, but not for service: for talk, but not for tariff; for wrangling, but not for work; for cussedness, but not tor count: for party service, but not for public good. He 1 refuses to be 6oen when it is necessary to raise a demands recognition whenever he wishes to raise hell. Tho practical good judgment of tho American people will no longer accept filibustering for statesmanship, and the suppression of the prize puzzle is hailed with Joy by every thoughtful man. Tho speaker believed that much of tho south was truly Republican today, and said that Tennessco was Republican on a fair count.

Candidates for President. A number of new candidates for the presidency of tho organization have been sprung on the delegates, among them being (Jen. N. B. Go IT.

of West Virginia, and Edwin S. Stuart, of Philadelphia. A movement is also on foot to re-elect President Thurson, and altogether the situation is so badly mixed that it is any one's fight. The throng in the city has taxed the capacity of the hotels and delegates arc crowded together, often as many as six in a room. The hospitality of the citi? zens is marked by cordiality and hearti? ness.

The Central Republican club rooms have been thrown open and gen? erous entertainment is extended to strangers and delegates. Cincinnati will in all probability be selected as the next place of meeting. A mass meeting was held at Amuse? ment hall last night, at which speeches were delivered by Gen. GofT, of West Virginia, nnd others. Many Democrats were present.
