LETTERS WHEAT.
Entire Lot Believed to Have Been
Sold to an English Syndicate.

CHICAGO. Feb. lit is positively
stated that contracts for moving 300
600 bushels of Letter wheat TO the sea-
board have been made OF this the
Grand Trunk is said to have secured
100000 bushels, the Nickel Plate 800,
coo, and the Lehigh Valley 5000
bushels The cereal will be carried on
a through rate from Chicago to Liver
pool, so it cannot be ascertained what
proportion will accrue to the railroads
for the haul to the seaboard.
The "Chronicle" says: 1T is estimated
that the Letter holdings of wheat II
this city and ahoat will exceed 10000
coo bushels, and since a recent visit to
this city of the Eastern exporters the
suspicion has arisen that the entire
amount has been disposed of to Brit
ish syndicate. Freight men do not deny
that negotiations looking to the placing
of large contracts have been pending
for some time, and it is asserted on
good authority that every prominent
Eastern line connecting with Chicago
has been invited to bid on the trans
portation of an indefinitely large
amount of wheat to the seaboard.

LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEEL MEN
THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COM
PLETES ITS SESSIONS.
The A1l-Important Question Of Lo-
cal Option in the Matter of Sun
day Racing Again Defeated.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. II. - After three
days of hard work the National AS
sembly of the League of American
Wheelmen tonight finally adjourned,
after one of the most notable sessions
ever held by that body. The all-im-
portant question of local option in the
matter of Sunday racing was again
defeated, an amendment providing that
State divisions be granted the right to
determine for themselves whether ,r
not Sunday bicycle races should be per-
mitted being voted down by but six
votes.
Thirty-two other amendments were
disposed of during the day in various
ways. Some We're indefinitely post
poned or withdrawn, While four We're
defeated.
Among the more important of those
adopted are the following:
Article III. of the constitution, a new
section inserted to read: No 8. No pro-
fessional shall be eligible to entry in
any open race run under the rules Of
the League of American Wheelmen un
less he is registered with the Racing
Board
Article III, Section s Cd. Substitute:
Contestants at meets closed to a college
or TO any number of colleges forming
an intercollegiate meet may for these
meets be only governed by the amateur
rules of the intercollegiate Association
of Amateur Athletes of America.
Article V, Section 3, was amended by
striking out the word ''wheelmen"
Other amendments adopted provided
for the payment of $500 a year as
compensation to Chairman Mott of the
National Racing Board, and declaring
that hereafter no sanctions would be
given for any six-day continuous race
unless the riders be compelled to take
at least two hours rest out of every
twentyfour.
Resolutions were adopted fixing the
registration fee for professionals at 81
ernment to push the demand on the
Turkish Government for the payment
of S400 900 indemnity to the mother Of
Frank e. Lenz, the Pittsburg member
of the l.. A. W. who was murdered in
Turkish territory while on tour Of
the world.
r. C. Botier of Milwaukee introduced
the following resolution. which was
warmly indorsed by prominent men in
the league, and finally adopted:
Resolved, That the Executive Com
mittee of the l.. A. w. be instructed to
investigate the feasibility of turning
over to some other organization or body
the control of racing, and to report its
results at the next National Assembly
This concluded the work of the as
sembly, which adjourned sine die.
