Inability to Agree on the Price the
INSTRUMENTATION Looked For.
NEW YORK, Aug. President Kimbal
of the Norfolk and Western railway, with
a special committee from his directory, was
here to-day TO confer with the Richmond
Terminal authorities with reference to the
much discussed trade for the Terminals
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia stock.
The conference was held, but nothing was
done. The meeting adjourned over until
tomorrow. 1t is not now likely that the
trade will be made, tho principal difficulty
being the price. The Norfolk and Western
people are ready to buy, and that, too, for
cash. but they want to bargain at a lower
figui q than President lnman and his COM
mittee will consent to.
CONSOLIDATION LOOKED FOR.
A prominent railroad man conspicuously
identified with the Terminal system, said
tonight: 81 do not believe there will be
any important changes in the southern
railroad situation between now and fall.
but before snow flies again it is exceedingly
probable that all the lines now controlled
by the Terminal, the Georgia Central, the
ErlanGer systems, and the Norfolk and West
ern will all practically be consolidated
under one management. Then through a
fair maintenance of rates and discontinue
ance of unnecessary building, southern rail-
roads will rank among the best properties
for investment in this country

Will King Milan Abdic ate?

vienna, Dec. 1l.-Special Cablegram to
THE BEE. THE lower house of the reichs-
ratb has passed the first and second articles
of the army bin without alteration.
In the Hungarian chamber of deputies
there is growing discontent over the bill,
causing Premier Tszea to defer the discus
sion until after Christmas. If necessary
Herr Tiszca will make the passage of the
measure a cabinet question, and thus subdue
the malcontents, who will be unable TO effect
a change of ministry.
The situation in Servia is critical. The
strong radical majority in the skuptschna
threatens to reject King Milans revised con
stitution. The government, therefore, has
resolved to curtail the deliberations of tnat
body. If the radicals are obstinate the
skuptschina will be indefinitely prorogued.
The garrisons in Belgrade and other towns
are kept in readiness TO crush a revolt. An
article inserted in the constitution provides
that in case the king abdicate he shall have
power to appoint regents during his sons
minority. The article is taken as indicating
the kings intention to abdicate.

DES MONIES, Ia, Dec. ll.-lSpeclal fele-
gram to The BEE. The last legislature APP

The commission was to consist of the gov
ernor and ex-senator james Harlan, of
Mount Pleasant; cXGovclnor kirkwood, of
Iowa City; Edward Johnston, of Keoliuk !;
eN Senator George G.. Wright, of Des

ceed 100000 The legislature app ro-
priated 5000 for their preparatory
work, and so they decided to offer
prizes for the best designs, as follows
Five hundred dollars for the best 500 for
the second best, and $3.50 for the third best
designs, All plans must be submitted by the
second Monday in February, when the COM
mission will meet again.
The act creating the commission and order
ing the monument stated that it should be
erected upon the capitol grounds, but some
of the commissioners think they will recon-
mend to the legislature some other site.
They say that if the monument is to be II
large one there is no room for it on the
grounds, which are already rather crowded,
and if it is to be small monument it would
be completely overshadOWed by the capitol
itself. Some of the commissioners are in
favor of erecting an equestrian statue of he
roic size. Whatever they recommend will
have to be passed upon finally by the next
general assembly.

directors maintain their refls Il to advance

There is small prospect that the bonds will

DEs MotNEs, Ia, Dec. l1.-lSpecial Telc-
gram TO TnE BEE. James Murphy, an old
gentleman over eighty years of age,
formerly one of the old settlers of Adair
county, moved to Kansas several years ago
A few days ago he started to return to sur
prise and visit his sons. He reached Green

the city marshal of some Kansas town, stat
ing that the old gentleman was on his way
to Iowa and that he was subject to heart dis
ease, and requesting any strangers TO help
him If oVertaken by an attack on the way.
1t is supposed that as he drew near his sons
house he was overjoycd at the prospect of

THE NEGRO AND THE BALLOT.
An Interview Win the Attorney Cen
eral Of the Late Confederacy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dec. 1.-THE American
to-day prints long interview with Thomas
H. Watts, who was attorney general of the
late confederacy, on the question of disfran-
chising the negro. He said in part The III
creased political power which the south has
acquired by the freedom of the negroes
ought never TO be relinquished. There is no
policy of the south which demands it,
or makes it desirable. If intelligence
is superior to ignorance, or brain power su-
periOr to mere muscle in the policy of II state,
the south has nothing to fear from the pres
ence of the negro with an equal right to
vote. The northern states, being the con-
querers in the war, unwttngly increased
the political power of the conquered IN con
gress and in the election of presidential cleo
tors. That the conqueiers should augmcnJthe
political power of the conquered vas never
before done in the history Of man
kind. 1t was not magnanimitY
to the conquered, but n vain hope and
belief that the slave, when made free, would
greatly increase the power of the republican
party iii congress and the election of a
president for all time, which induced such
remarkable action. Ii the northcrn states
could now mend their work, the folly of
which the experienced of the last twenty
years so fully shows, they would doubtless
act promptly and vigorously. Fortunately
for the southern states, the constitution of
the United States presents an insuperable
barrier to the eNercseof such power"
