The Talent, Which Refused TO Con-

New Orleans La, Dec. 1.-THE prelm-
mary derby handicap at six furlongs, and
valued at $1,000, was the star number of
to-day's card, and the richest prize of the
meeting thus far. It's starters made the
best field for two-year-olds that have ever
faced a starter here, and yet the race was
far from satisfactory.
James Arthur's Andes, to whom the tai
ent refused to concede a chance, though
the stable commission shortened his price
from sevens to fves, landed the money
Himtine, despite five pounds penalty, was
always the betting favorite at twos,
though Frank Bell, the Western crack,
was well supported.
Protus and Double Dummy were the only
successful favorites. The weather was
threatening and the track good.

A TwELvE-oLuB SCHEDULE.
National League Makes Arrange
ments for the Season.

New York. Dec. 17.-After a prolonged
session, or, rather, a series of sessions. the
base BAH magnates representing the
twelve clubs in the National League, con-
cluded their annual meeting tonight and
adjourned to meet again on the last Tues
day in February, which is the date of the
schedule meeting.
1t was decided that a twelve-club sched-
ule, calling for l54 games, should be ar
ranged for next season, and the secretary
was instructed to draft two one for three
trips East and West, and the other for
four trips each way
In addition 10 this Mr.. Whitehead of
Philadelphia received similar instructions,
and he has been requested 10 furnish cop
les of the schedules prepared by him to
the Presidents or representatives. of the
twelve clubs two weeks before the sched-
ule meeting in February. While these in
structions to the secretary and Mr. White
head ostensibly indicate that the playing
schedule has been arranged, and that the
league win consist OF twelve clubs during
the season of &c. There are many per-
sons who claim to have an inside knowl-
edge of the state of affirs, who believe
that underlying all this there is a well
defined scheme to reduce the league to
eight clubs.
Under the constitution of the league.
special meetings can be called at any time.
and it is expected that one or more sessions
will be held between now and February
The gate receipt controversy was taken
up again to-day, but as there was no
chance of a unanimous vote being cast in
reference to it, the matter was laid over
until the February conclave.
No league clubs win be allowed to play
exhibition games during the coming sea-
son. A motion was made by President
Hart, of Chicago. to prevent them from
playing such games before and after the
season, was negatived.
Owing to the illness of Messrs. Wonder
horst and Ebbltts, the papers necessary
to the clinchlng of the Baltimore Brook
lyn amalgamation were not signed to-day
but it is expected that they viii be signed
and the deal consummated within a few
days.
At special meeting OF the board of di-
rectors, the Cincinnati club was ordered TO
refund fine of S25 to Catcher Peltz. After
the meeting of the league had been con-
cluded, new board of arbitration met
and took action on a number of appeals.
The presentation of the Eastern league
for territorial rights for the Newark, N.
j. club was opposed by President +. C.
Burrow, of the Atlantic league. The pre-
sentatiOn was refused and the Newark
club was instructed that it must remain in
the Atlantic league. A similar presenta-
ton made by Hartford, was withdrawn.

RUSSIA IN NEED OF MONEY.
AGENT SENT TO NEW YORK TO Me-
GOTIATE A LARGE LOAN.

An Action Unprecedented in the
Monetary History of the Country,
If True-MOney Has Recently Been
''the Cheapest Thing in America"
Call Loans Made at Low Rates.
Bond Markets Bare of Securities
Yielding Large Interest.
Chicago. Dec. 17.-James II. Ecllles pres
ident of the Commercial National Bank,
said to-day:
Il am creditably informed that a great
foreign power has sent representatives to
the United States, and that they are now
in New York. for the purpose OF nego-
tlatlng a loan of immense proportions. If
the source of my Information is reliable
il is the first instance in the history of
the United States of a foreign power bor-
rowing here"
The Chicago Daily News says: THE
statement may startle the general public
but in the financial world the report will
cause no establishment although the ac-
ton will be unprecedented in the monetary
history of the country.
For nearly two months, money has
been the cheapest thing in America, as
fnanciers phrase it.
For a fortnight cali loans have been
made in Wall street as low as 11s per cent
while short borrowers with approved col
lateral are accommodated at 91b per cent.
in Chicago.
THE bond markets are absolutely bare
of first class securities yielding more than
3la per cent. To-day per cent. cou-
pom issues were bought on the exchanges
at 1877, and high grade stocks paying divi-
dends at he rate of 5 per cent. per annum
were quoted at 16.
Firms that make a speciality of invest
ment securities acknowledged that the de-
mand for values has exceeded the supply
three fold.
Fairly safe issues have been absorbed,
and there is no diminution in the funds
seeking placement.
THE national treasury states that for
the current month money in circulation
has increased $50, ,SO3 722. This. following
a gain of 100000 for October, makes a
NOldl S&pduSlcn OI about at0sUVJsup9 lQF the
last sixty days. Compared with a year
ago, the total circulation Of all kinds of
money is $165, 1885, 600 greater, and amounts
in all to 1856, 800. OOO
THE perspective reveals even more
money. On the first of the year corpora
tions will distribute about $1OO, 100000 in
interest and dividends. Beside, exports
are increasing rapidly, while imports are
decreasing quite as speedily. The latest
figures tell that the exports of merchandise
from this country exceed those of Great
Britain for the first time in the history
of the two countries. The United States
is In the unique position of desiring to
buy the American stocks and bonds that
are he'd abroad.
1T is this condition that has warranted
a foreign government in making tentative
overtures for a big loan here. The bor-
rover is supposed to be Russia. The rep
resentatives of that country were nego-
tiating with French bankers some time
ago for large sum, but the transaction
was not concluded.

in his interview with NJ. deBlowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the London Times
"a portion of which was eabicd by the AS
soeiated Press last night had the follow

But what most pains me is that in this
great whirlwind in which we have lost all,
and our last Armada. there has been an
attempt to deprive US of honor as we'll.
'On Dec. proposed to the americans

said America viii appoint an American,
an Englishman ana Frenchman. and we
viii appoint a Spaniard, an Englishman
and F'renchman, all specialists, and that
the commission or the two governments
appoint a German and that these seven
men bring in a verdict If they declare
Spain innocent, the President of the Unit

proposal we made on Dec. 1. It could
have been made and must have been tele-
graphed for it could be put in two hun
dred words. On Dec. 8, in his message 10
Congress the President made no allusion
to our proposal, but described the blowing
up of the Maine as a suspicious event.
"On Dec the American commissioners
declared they refused to discuss this
question. This is what especially irri-
tates US. We have great defects, hot
temper and cruelties even. But, our na-
tiOnal honor is dear to US. Yet at that
honor the Americans wished to deal the

Of Southern hospitality generally, and the

Atlanta, Ga, to-day.
In answer to a question regarding the
peace jubilee in the Georgia capital, he
said:
Those were history-making days. The
very air was burdened with patriotism,
and no man, woman or child who wit
messed the tremendous demonstration will
ever again believe that there is such a
thing as a distinct North or South. 1t was
grand, majestic inspiring, for there, on
historic ground, where Sherman's veterans
faced the battle-scarred heroes OF John

feelings were forgotten, merged In the
web and woof Of patriotism as wonderful
as It Is indissoluble.

There was a good deal of feeling among

people TO meet and recognize them. II
was known to the Atlanta people that the
knights were coming some days before the
