rights. He believes, in other words, that
the negro should swing with the side that
is said, is likely to get Mr.. Chase into Sc
rious trouble, as he is a candidate for del
egate to the republican national conven-
tion, and it is almost certain that Perry
Carson will oppose him. Chase has ac-
knowledged that a protest will be circu-

Statement by Mr.. Corrothers.
Rev. S. l.. Corrothers, president OF the
faction that bolted, made this statement
this afternoon:
.erhe convention was attended largely py
democratic negroes, men and women, from
Massa chusetts and New Jersey They dls-
covered that the sentiment In favor OF
President Roosevelt was so strong they
kept the committee in their deliberat1ng
room from 10 in the morning till U IN the
evening.
After the discussion became so heated
they agreed that vote might be taken on
the resolution at 10 o'clock In the evening.
When the time came there were more than
a thousand persons in the church VINO arose
and cheered President Roosevelts name.
Then James H. Hayes, who had been
elected president, and who was advocating
the policy of refusing to indorse the presi-
dent until his faction could see what they
were going to get arose and asked the
audience to leave the church.
He then recognized a delegate who was
In favor Of his ideas, and the discussion
went on until 80 clock this morning The
Hayes faction sent reports through the
Endorsement of the President, had sold out,
or was trying to sell the race to a presiden-
tial candidate.
"By this means the faction tried to de-
ceive the delegates as to the scheme it had
uD it's sleeve Just before o'clock a vote
was reached-thirty-thre voting to indorse
President Roosevelt and thirty-f1ve against.
More than forty delegates who were
friends of the President had previously be-
come disgusted and left the church. The
so-called 'Corrothers faction objected to
the women voting but under the Hayes
ruling they were permitted to do So By
counting the votes of five women Hayes
declared the resolution defeated.
THE Corrothers faction bOlted and in
dorsed the President. This faction elected
officers and will have a new and distinct
organization

WHITE SOX COMING
 TO THE SLAG PILE
SOME FINE BASEBALL PROMISED THE BIRMINGHAM FANS IN THE EARLY sPRlNc-To sTRAIcHTEN o'BRIEN-ALBANY MATTER.

Coffee Jackson, secretary of the Bir- mingham Baseball association, received a letter from Charles Comiskey, manager of the Chicago american league baseball team saying the famous White Sox" would be in Birmingham to play three games on March 2S, 30 and 31. This will give the fans of Birmingham another op- portunity of seeing one of the big leagers and long before the season starts they can get a line on the strength of OBrien's team.
 Up to this time arrangements have been made for about twenty games with the high-priced players. and some excellent sport is promised before the Coal Barons begin to take the Southern leaguers in tow.
 A letter has been received from Billy Campbell, the southpaw twirler, saying that he would certainly return next sea- son and expected to be in fine trim. Campbell is one of the best pitchers in the business and but for an attack of malaria would have made much better record last year.
 Secretary Farrell of the National asso- citation of minor baseball leagues, has notified the local association that the OBrien trouble will be settled satisfac- tory to Birmingham. This means that Albany's claim on Birmingham's new manager will be thrown aside and that this city is assured of a good team unless all signs fail.

eRADsT7EET's REVIEW.

New York January 3.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Previously existing favorable conditions rule. Spring trade shows further expan- sion. particularly in dry goods, such as linens wash fabrics, underwear and hosiery. Clothing, shoes, hardware and hardwood lumber are active and the vol ume of shipments of spring goods to fill orders offers still another problem for the eongested transportation companies to solve. spell of mild weather has induced the beginning of the usual clear anee sales of surplus winter goods by retailers. It has also tended to soften
 the acuteness of the anthracite coal | shortage at the east, and cause lower l ing in prices elsewhere. This. however 1 is regarded temporary only another sea-
 sonable cold snap containing great possi- i bilitfeS In the way of enhanced prices l The snow covering on winter wheat is
 not uniform and Is on the whole rather
 scant. but no unusual deterioration Is re- 1 ported.
 l Among manufactured products the l strength of iron and steel is notable.
 More inquiry for pig ircn Is reported by southern furnaces. In finished products cut nails and wire are S1 per ton higher. There is not much new in the import
 line, but prices are strong. Among finish ed products, steel plates, bars and rails
 are specially s,rong and active. Numer-
 ous orders for cars are coming forward
 and this has concealed a large business l for miscellaneous steel and for yellow pine. Shelf and heavy hardware Is spe- cially active for this season of the year. The strength of building materials Is a feature of deserving note. Sugar is un- settled by uncertainties as to reciprocity arrangements with Cuba.
 Textiles. particularly cotton and wool en goods. occupy a strong position. Raw cotton does not show much change. Cot ton goods are strong. feeling the effect of the exceptionally good spring trade al- ready booked. In dress goods jobbers note an expanding business. and mems wear woolens hold the advance of to 10 per cent. noted at the outset of the sea- son. Raw wool is firmly held and there is even some quotable advance noted on the week.
 Business failures for the week ending with January 22, number 253 against 234 last week; 292 In the like week in 1892; PSI in 19Ol 252 in 1900, and 246 in 1899.

RAILWAY SYSTEMS RESPONSIBLE.
Gould and Hartman Interests at the
 Bottom of Boer Colonization.

New Orleans. January 2.-Information has just leaked out that the recent move ment of Boers from the European con tinent and South Africa to the United States is the result of big fight in which the heads of two of the greatest rail- road systems in America took a personal interest ane which lined the Gould and Hartman interests squarely against one another in strenuous endeavor to cap greatest colonization movements ever un- dertaken in America
 The presence in New Orleans today of Dr. w. F. Reitz, former secretary of the Transvaal; Gen. Samuel Pearson, who gained much notice in the fight against British mule shipments to South Africa via New Orleans, and several other prom inent Boers, with s. F. B. Morse, pas senger traffic manager of the Atlantic system of the Southern Pacific, and J. D. Newman, general eastern land and immigration agent of the system at New York, gi,es point to the story and evi- dences which of the big railroads has captured the movement.
 The Southern Pacific has placed special cars and a special train at the disposal of pr. Reitz and the Boer party, and tomorrow morning they will begin a tourney which will take them through the rice and cattle country of Louisiana and Texas and the rang cs of west as far as California, and it is reliably reported that a great Boer colony will be estab- lished In Louisiana or Texas.

 After tho pool exhibition tonight he will also give a card exhibition. From notices in the Atlanta papers MT. Hall Is just as clever with the cards as with the pool balls.
 MT. Hall will play game of Chinese pool tonight, and guarantees to make fifteen balls or no count, using two cues. According to the Chinese method. the cue ball Is rolled between two cues until 1t strikes the object ball, knocking 1t into the pocket.
