WILL NOT GIVE UP RACING.
L. A. w. VIII Continue It's Circuit
Next Meeting Place.

PROVIDENCE, r. L., Feb. 9.-The great
question of the continued control of racing
by the, League of American Wheelmen
came very near being settled in short order
and without debate at the meeting to-day.
Only an act of courtesy on the part of one
or two delegates who are strongly opposed
to the giving up of racing allowed the mat
ter to stand and gave the advocates of the
proposed amendment to the constitution an
opportunity to discuss the matter, which
they will do this morning. The regular
routine work of the assembly passed off
with remarkable smoothness, with only
a short debate on some of the reports and
no contest whatever on the officers, so that
it was not until late in the day that the
spirit for debate became manifest in the
discussion over the next assembly place. II
took nearly two hours to decide the matter,
a very pretty three-cornered fight de-
Veloped between Jacksonville, Fla, Phila-
delphia and Detroit The assembly, how
ever, decided to seek a warmer climate next
year and chose Jacksonville.
Then came suddenly on the meeting the
racing question, and before three-quarters
of those present realized it the previous
question on the motion to reject the amend
ments had been made and carried and the
delegates were brought face to face with the
main question without hearing a single
speech Tor or against racing. The adVo
Gates of the amendments pleaded hard for
delay and chance to debate and after
while, knowing their superiority as far as
numbers were concerned and the certainty
of an ultimate victory, the opponents yield
ed, and tomorrow the league will spend
the day in discussing the whole matter
There is not the slightest doubt that the
league will have charge of the racing next
year, for all the opponents of the new
amendments have to gather is seventy-four
-otns, and to-day's meeting. with the West
sohd in favor of racing, shows there are
nearly ninety negative votes, which leaves
The advocates with considerably less than
the requisite two-thirds. The result of the
election of new officers caused great salts
faction, and the new president, Mr. Keen
en-, of Pittsburg, showed much ability in
handling the convention during the stormy
discussion of the afternoon Sterling FL
lott, of Massachusetts, will have charge of
the debate the side of the amendments
and c. ]. Mears, of Ohio, and Van Vaken-
burg, of Wisconsin, will lead the opposition.

SCHLEY DlSOBEYED ORDERS.
Secretary Longs Reasons for Recon-
mending SIMPSONS Preferment.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: "Officials of
the Navy Department maintain the greatest
secrecy as to Secretary Longs reply to the
Senate resolutions calling upon him for an
explanation of the nomination for advance
ment of Rear Admiral Sampson over Rear
Admiral Schley. However, secret details
have been obtained. The secretary received
on Monday the data and explanatory re-
marks of the board, consisting of Captain
R. d. Evans, formerly commanding the
Iowa; Captain Henry Taylor, commanding
the Indiana; Lieut.. J. H. Sears, flag lieuten-
ant the staff of Admiral Schley and
Ensign H. II. Ward, of the Bureau Of Navi-
cation. Though Lieutenant Sears was
placed on the board as a direct representa-
tive of Admiral Schley, he made no minor
ity report against the data which were col
lated by the board and furnished to the
secretary. The board expressed no opinion
on the case, but simply furnished infOrma-
ton with explanations to the secretary,
which he transmitted to the Senate. The
most important point which the secretary
makes against Admiral Schley deals with
the latterS action in signaling to the fleet
to proceed to Key West after he had re-
ceiVed, on May q, dispatch from the de-
partment informing him that all the de-
partment's information indicated that the
Spanish division was still at Santiago, and
that the department looks to you to ascer-
tain facts, and that the enemy, if therein,
does not leave without decisive action
The secretary quotes Admiral Schley's
answer: Much to be regretted, can't obey
orders of department Have striVen earnest
ly. Forced to proceed for coal to Key West
by way of Yucatan passage The secre-
tary shows that there was no necessity for
the squadron proceeding to Key West for
COAL as each vessel with Admiral Schley,
with the exception of the Eagle, which had
been sent to Jamaica, had sufficient coal in
her bunkers to last at least six days, the
Iowa having on board on May q 752 tons
and the Texas at Il o'clock on May % 500
tons. The coaling of the squadron from the
collier after Admiral Schley cabled that it
was impossible to do so is referred to and
the opportunity given to the enemy to es-
cape is carefully described. The secretary
believes that the department was justified
in promoting Admiral Schley, but below
Sampson, because of his conduct in the
battle with Cerveras fleet but he declares
his positive opinion that the commandments
chief is entitled to the reward given him by
the President"

ALLIED AGAINST TARIFFS
SHIPPERS SAID TO HAVE FORMED
ALLIANCE TO BREAK RATES.
The Mistake in Operating the Lake
Erie & Western-GeneraI and Per-
sOnaI Railway News.

It is reported that the men who are paid
big salaries by the glucose and tin-plate
trusts, the packing houses, wholesale mer-
camille firms and other institutions having
heavy freight shipments to secure cheap
rates, have formed an alliance to batter
down the present tariff rates. These traffic
managers say that they will not accept any
more rebates from the railroads in violation
of the interstate-commerc law, but they
want the railroads to openly make the
same rates they have heretofore made
secretly. They say that if the railroads do
not do this they will pick out a certain
railroad and give all their business to it.
They think this plan would soon cause the
other roads to openly reduce their rates.
Agents of the Eastern lines say this scheme
will not work with them; that 1t has been
played on them too often in the past. They
say it will be simply impossible for any one
railroad to carry the traffic controlled by
the alleged combination of traffic managers
1t is certain that the agents of the Eastern
roads will keep close watch on each other,
and it is almost certain that somebody will
soon discover what he thinks is sufficient
warrant for reducing rates openly.

the net gain at the end was sc. Corn and
oats led off at a slight decline. Pork lost 10

Intensely cold weather, which created
fresh fears for the winter plant, started
wheat strong. May opened 5sQ%4c higher,
at 733sd7312c, touched 1850. then proceeded
to modify the bullishness with which it be-
gan. Apart from the weather considera-
lions the early news was by no means strik-
ing, and even in that respect the Price Cur
rent made somewhat light of the supposed
damage remarking that late Southwestern
wheat was doubtless more or less damaged,
but otherwise the outlook was still promis-
ing. Northwestern receipts were compare

terests We're persistently against the adj
vance and after touching 1899 near the
start, May wheat gradually sold down to

began to show considerable strength, as the
West and Southwest continued to send re-
ports of serious damage to the winter
plant. To add emphasis to this news, St.
Louis sent heavy buying orders and May
rose quickly to 741sc. On the bulge, how
