THE INTERNATIONAL CHESS TOURNAMENT.
Edinburgh, August 8th, Play in the laternational Chess Tournament was resumed at the Brassey Institute, Hastings yesterday. The result of the draw was as follows: —Lasker y Tchipe-in, Tinsley v. Maron, Albin Bardel bin, labory v. Tarraich, Bird v. Walbrod, Marca v Pollock, Mieres v. Blick- barne, Gunsberg v. Bura, Vergani v. Janowski, Stalnits. Schlechter, and Schiffer v. Teichmann, The first player named in each pair had the advantage of first move. The most Important match, and that in which the chief interest centred throughout the day, was that between Mr. E. Lasker, the champion of the world, who le one of the representativesa! England, and M. | Tchigorio, the famous Russian master. The play was watched with the keenest interest. The first game concluded was that between M. Marco, of Austria, and Mr. Pollock, of Canada, the former wlablog la twenty-six moves. The next game that was completed, and one that faralshed * sorprise, was that between Herr Miesen, of Germany, and Mr. Blackburns, of England, the latter being baten on the thirty-second move. The German player opened with the queen's pawn game, or Scottish gambit, which bis antenoist accepted, on his third move taking white's queen's pawn with his king's pawn. Mieses retock with Fi icing's knight, and for some time play was fairly even. With kis serenicenth more Blackburne played his queed on king's rook's fourth, and omiited to support it, and making a work move a little Ister on, kis adversary was enabled to attack, busking with the queen and two bishops. From this point the game was practically over. Miesen never left the black klög, which he forced into a corner, and then, on the thirty-second move, captured Blackburne's queen at the pacalfice of a blahop. The Englishman at once reilgned. The contest between Lasker and Tchigörla ended, after a
tough fight, in victory for the Russian at the fifty-sixth more. Many of the other games

THE MAHOMMEDAN REBELLION.
Shangbal, September, 6th, The following decree of the ath_instant, received by the Hupao by wire yesterday from Peking, will give an insight into the progress of the Mahommedan rebellion now in full force in the province of Kanso, or the Great North West" of this empire :-
"Yang Ch'ang-chin, Viceroy of the Sten-Kan, telegrapòs a memorial denouncing the conduct of the Brigadier-General Tang Yan-bo. It appears from this Viceroy's reports that the Mabommedan rebellion first began in the city of Halch'eng, of Kanso province, dally increasing In alze and seriousness until a large portion of the country was occupied. Halch'eng was, however, recuplared by our troops, the siege of the relectural city of Halabus ralied, and quiet partially restored, when the prefectures of Hochow and Slolog became *suddenly the seat of acother rebellion charne terised by greater ferocity and defiance of the constituted rushoitles. At this juncture Briga. "dler-General Tang Yen-ho was foxtracted to go to the salatance of the local authorities. Bat he delayed his match, larrying on the road for many days before getting to Hoches. Arrived there, and without taking the precaution of reconnoitering to find out the strength of the rebels, Targ Yer-ho raskly proceeded to attack the enemy, resulting eventually in the almost complete route of his army. By this unwar ranted conduct the sald Bilgidler-General had disorganised the plans of the projected campaign against the rebels. As a punishment ho le therefore forthwith cashiered but must remain the army and is given a chance to redeem,' by future bravery and good conduct, his past

Writing in the Statist, Mr. T. Lloyd says :- "Price" is value in terms of the legal tender money of a country. The "value" of a thing is what it will exchange for in all other things. The price is the value in gold in this country, Gold, that is to say, is a measure, as the cennomists express it, or a denominator if you prefer, of the value of al things in this country. The proportion la vaines can be seen at a glance by looking down the list of prices. But if price is vaine in terms of gold, it is clear that price must be determined by two sets of chaser ; those which affect the things priced and those which affect gold or the pricer. It is undisputed that the laventions of the century have lessened the cost
words, the causes affecting commodities generally have tended to lower their value. But the causes which have affected gold specially have not been uniform. Sometimes they have lessened its value, sometimes they have heigh tened it. The revolutions to the American possessions of Spain shortly after the Napoleonic wars seem to have rather lecreased the par chaslog power of Rold by laterupting mining. On the other hand, the great discovers in California and Australia cheapened gold very materially. It was not merely that the output of gold was immensely increased; it was ra.ber that the cast of mining for several yeare was small. The gold was found by fadividual diggers to a very large extent. The wis no need for costly machinery or great capitul upon a large scale. The result was that gold berme cheap,' and that the prices of m.dules generally rashed up. But afters while the gold that was easily come at was exhausted, and deep mining had to be resorted to, implytog costly machinery and large capitals. Then the cost of mining increased, and, as a natural consequence, the parchasing power of gold also augmented, which is only acother way of saying prices fell, I have said that it was not the mere increase in the output that affected the value and in support ef that statement. I would clic the well-known fact that the production of gold began to fall off about the middle of the sixties, and it was not until about the middle of the seventies that prices began to fall seriously. Roughly, it took nearly ten years for the decrease
