Tells How It Wiil Be Done—A Mat

Chess Players Interested.
[(Copvriqht.)
>.ew York, Oct. 4.—A unique and ex
citing game of chess by cable is soon to be
played.
Two famous champions will engage in
the contest, but they will not face each
other as is usual. One, the American cham
pion, William Steimtz, will sit in the rooms
of the New York Che3s Club, and the other,
thu famous Russian Tschigorin, will sit in
the Cafe St. Petersburg, in the capital of
the czar’s dominion.
In more respects than one it will be a
matcb - In r °und figures a matter of
5,000 miles will separate the players, and in
t ectst it will far exceed any match ever
piayecl. Just how much money will be ex
pended is not known now, but it will be a
nuy sum, for one caunot flash words over
tae sea for fun.
In the chess world the men are well

terday, and explained the manner in which
the code that he favors will be managed.
He sat iu his home in front of a handsome
chess table, and rapidly moved the chess
men from square to square as he explained.
He was technical in his expressions, but
those who know anythibg of chess caa fol
low him.
‘‘There are a number of codes for this
kind of match,” he said; “the main objects
are cheapness and simplicity. It has been
proposed to have a universal system of
notation in these matches, but as a matter
of fa t there is in existence a system that is
very simple in its way, and chat is on the
whole the best that I know of, although,
st ange to say, but little is known of it.
This system is fathered by Herr
Johannes Metger of Kiel. It is a cheap
method for telegraphing moves which
consists in a sort of adaptation of fig
ures throughout for the well-known Ger
man notation of moves in abbreviated
form. The figure is a good thing to use,
for I understand that the cable charges
three figures as one word, and a single one
in chess may be made to mean a good deal.
It may be advisable to make some change
iu Metger’s system, but as it stands it is the
best that we have, and we cannot well say
whether it will be wise ti change it much
until we can tell just how the cable com
panies can handle the matter.
“The system may be explained in the fol
lowing manner, wnic i though appearing
technical, will ce found simple enough after
a little consideration by any one who knows
nothing about chess.
“The pieces are numbered in their order
thus; King 1, Queen 2, King’s Rook 3,
Queen’s Kook 4, bishop’s 5, King’s Knight
6, Queen’s Knight 7. The Pa.vn receives
the figure 8 when he has to affect a capture,
and only exceptionally when two Pawns
can capture the same man, the Pawn capt
uring toward the right of the board from
his own side is designated by the figure 9.
Any of those figures are accordingly placed
first.
“in the German notation tho letters trom
A to H are u=ed as signs for the vertical
files, commencing with the one on White’s
Q. R. square up to Black’s Q. R. square.
These letters iu this system are merely
changed into figures from 1 to 8, but they
place them second when used for telegraph
ing. The third lias then the same significa
tion as in the German notation, namely: the
number of the row. Anybody may easily
translate a move from those figures without
the help of a code.
“For example: 143 signifies K-d 5 accord
ing to the German notation, or according
to the English, French, Spanish and Italian
notations that either King moves to the sth
Queen’s square, counting from White’s side;
or 44 means White’s Pawn moves to Q 4, the
fact that only two figures are used, showing
that a Pawn moves without capturing.
Again, 865 would be the expression for
White’e KKtP, capturing a man at KBS.
In case such a man could be captured by
either a KP or KKtP, then the last named
figures would signify that the KtP captures,
whereas ia the other case the figures 985
would have to be used. With the different
signs for KR and QR, eta, all ambiguities
are avoided in that respect, and no separate
figure is required for each of the two
Bishops, as they do uot alter the color of
their squares in moving, and the initial fig
ure, in conjunction witn the number of files
and rows, is sufficient indication for the
movements of other men witnout the possi
bility of conflict. Castling on the Kings side
is designated by tho figure 20, which means
two noughts (0-0) as in the German
notation. In a similar manner castlmcs
queen’s side is described by the number 30
(0 —0—0). Likewise, as the 0 is not often
applied under that, system, I used 10 for
White loses and 90 for Black loses, ln the
same way 110 moans Wnite loses through
exceeding the time limit and 990 Black
loses owing to such a cause; 100 for Wnite
resigns and 900 for Black resigns. Other
signs may be easily formed with the help
of noughts. The capturing en passant
needs no special sign under this method, as
mav be easily perceived.
"That,” said Mr. Steinitz, “seems com
plicated, out it is not so much as it sounds.
At any rate it cannot bo expressed much
more clearly now, us for the modifications

I that might be made in this system, which,
as I have said before, is Metger’s. I would
suggest that perhaps it might be well to
number the pieces from left to right, this
giving White’s Q. R. the figure one. Now
it may be said that the system has already
been applied and has proved successful.
“As I have said before, the fact that it is
cheap is much in its favor.”
Mr. Steinitz cannot yet say what the ex
pense of the tournament, so far as the cable
bills are concerned, will amount to. They
can only be roughly estimated. The nearest
clew to the amount is to be found in Mr.
Steinitz’s estimate that the cable companies
reckon three figures as one work. But then
again non# of the experts know how many
figures may be used.
The tournament is likely to run through
some twenty games and may cover a period
of months. The fact that the men are well
matched may lead to u greater use of toe
wires than if the match was one-sided. It
is expected that the cable companies will be
liberal in this particular master, owing to
the unique character of the undertaking.
Touching thu matter of expense in con
tests conducted by telegraph, it may be
well to say that there is a good deal of ex
pense attached to matches where contest
ants have to travel a long distance to meet
each other. A chess tournament is not to
be played out in a day or in two days. It
stretches out over days and weeks, and in
addition to traveling expenses, there are the
hotel bills, and the contestants find that it
costs them a pretty penny to engage in a
match of this kind. Chess matches, too, do
not take in as much money as some other
exhibitions of skill.
The arrangements for the match have not
been fully completed, but the interest of
chess players in it is great, and the money
needed to assure its success is assured. The
fame of the players who will engage in it
and its peculiar character are sufficient to
arouss interest.
But after cable chess matches, what? Will
it I e a match between here and Bt. Peters
burg by the telephone, by some new-fan
gled electric scheme, or something of that
kind? Who can tell?
He is rash who reads the future now.

Whitewashing the Administration.
A contractor has lately had a force of
about fourteen painters giving the executive
mansion its annual exterior coat of white
paint, and satisfactory progress was being
made. When the men came to work yes
terday they were confronted with an order
to strike. This morning Mr. Newman suc
ceeded in obtaining four non-union painters,
and he was doing the best he could under
the circumstances when the men were
visit3d by a committee from the strikers
and importuned to quit work iu the interest
of labor. The contnactor promptly sum
moned the four policemen who are always
on duty about the white house and laid his
cas ) before them. They ordered the strikers
off the government reservation under pen
alty of being locked up. The labor com
mitteemen quickly withdrew and left the
contractor master of the situation. In all
strikes heretofore in this vicinity govern
ment property and employes have been
exempt, and the action to-day is severely
condemned by many of the strikers them
selves. All the union painters are now out,
and the only building upon which work ls
being carried ou is that tenanted by the
President of the United States.
h he Made a “Stir.”
“Eliza Wilcox, you were drunk last night,’
said Justice Duffy at the Essex Market Court.
“Nice thing for a woman like you to do."
“I’m sorry, your honor.” was her answer.
“Wnat do you work at ?” was the next ques
tion of the court. “Don’c be ashamed to tell
it.”
“I’m a nurse,” she replied.
“Where t”
“At the Riverside hospital.” she said, and
then added os an afterthought: "Taking care
of smallpox patients."
There was a atir in the courtroom immedi
ately. and the audience gave the woman a wide
berth, according to the NewYork Tnbnne.
"Get out of here." said Judge Duffy, when bo
recovered his voice.
Tho woman mumbled her thanks and hur
riedly left the court room.
