have set their date for the first week in
May, and will have So, 600 in purses, to
be divided equally among ten events,
eight for trotting and two for pacing,
toinclude performers from the 3minute

II was proposed to hold the meet here
later In the month.
The proposition of Mr.. Windcrath to
establish this circuit seemed to be favor
ably received by the Washington men,
but no definite answer was given him
as the matter will first have to be
formally considered by the club.
A meeting of the executive commit

reached. This meeting will also deter
mine the dates of the running races TO
be held on the Bennings course in April.

F. X. Stearns, president Of the old

Walter Hewitt for thepurchase Of the
Washington Club. If this plan be car
ried out the League would have six
clubs in its Western division and
four in its Eastern section. The
club owners are of the opinion, how.
ever, that Pittsburgs geographical
situation Is such that it can be counted
in as an Eastern club, and satifactory
schedule could be made out that way.

REACHING OUT.
Richmond Terminal Trying to Secare
s Fi More Railways.

i a ri More Railways.
New YoRK, Feb. 7.-It was reported
yesterday that the Richmond Terminal
Company, which has gobbled up nearly
all the roads in the South, was preparing
10 include the Erlanger system in its.
line of roads. This deal is to be brought
about through the East Tennessee, Vir-
einia and Georgia and the Georgia
Pacific railway companies, the object
being to give the Terminal system a
direct line of its own to New Orleans
and UP to Cincinnati, to which points
the Erlanger roads run, as well as to
Meridian, Miss. To accomplish this it
is proposed to issue new stock of the
Terminal Company amounting to $49.-
1000, which would make the total
stock issue 100000, 900.
John III. Inman, president of the
Terminal Company. admitted yesterday
that negotiations were on foot looking
toward closer relations between the two
systems, but said that the stock issue
which had been mentioned had not
been settled yet. He said he had re-
ceiyed an offer of 20 cents on the dol
lar for $40 100000 of the new stock,
which would put $la,250s0O0 in the
Terminal treasury, but that he had not
accepted the offer because II had not
been made in writing, aud he supposed
that this was the basis of the statement
that such stock issue had been agreed
uDOn.

For several days the negroes of Bes-
semer, Ala, have been holding meet
ings and discussing Senator Buffers
bill. The meetings have been largely
attended by the best and most intel
ligent elemen. of the colored people of
the town. Early this week they gave
to the press the following address, which
was forwarded to the Senate and House
of Representatives
"We, the negroes here, have been holding
meetings favoring the separation of the
races and the immigration of the colored
people to the Congo Free State in Africa, and
we hope that Senator Buffers bill will pass
Congress- We want to go back to our own
country, where we belong. We know that
it will be better for the colored people, and
we hope that it will benefit the white peo-
pie. We know that we are great political
trouble here. We are sorry, but cannot
help it. Time has brought this on us. Let
knowledge now have her way, and knowl-
edge says 'go,' and we will go if the Gov
ernment will pass the bill.
,''lnour meetings some have objected that
the Government will want its money back,
and take bonds on the State that we would
found, and it would take us seventy-fyo or
a hundred years to pay 1t. Other members
say that this is not the object of the bill,
but there will be donation Of money TO

there appears the desired Improvement
in export of products, and the decrease
for the past three weeks is now only

by effort to get goods into the country be-
fore a new tariff goes into effect, but the
current accounts of such increase are exag-
gerated the value of all imports for three
weeks has been but 15la per cent above last
years record. The reports from cities show
remarkable activity in all branches of
legitimate trade. Boston reports more
trade with easy money and exceptionally
large sales of wool reaching $4,000
pounds. At Philadelphia the shoe and
leather trades are exceptionally good
and the iron trade improves. Chicago notes
a heavy decline in grain receipts compared
with last year. Cincinnati also reports
quite go Cd trade and fair crops. at Cleve-
land trade is good, and at Pittsburgh it
holds prices firmly, though there is a slight
weakening in pig iron. Milwaukee reports
trade much in excess of last wars, and De-
troit also At Minneapolis lumber has ad-
vanced so cents. White wheat is unsettled,
with receipts OF 10000 bushels. Kansas
City reports steady trade, and Savannah
notes general activity, with firm prices for
staples. Though money is very active at
most points, and rather stringent at many,
the volume of business does not seem to be
anywhere curtailed thereby, and the reports
as to collections much more favorable
than usual.

by the Republicans, though, that there
