 The Madden horses, the most nota- ble of which are two great colts Sir Martin and Fayette both engaged fin the English classic races are to be shipped independently of the Whitney horses. as at present arranged, but there still is the prospect that colts win be sold to Mir. Whitney before the departure of the Mtnnehaha and will race in England under the Whitney colors.
 Thomas Hitchcock Us. shipment is made up of steeple chase horses that over the jumps and consist of five head that would be useful hunters If the are not good enough to win races
 The James R. Keene shipment will Sam ysarny sg MT keens Ras m4st stated whether they are intended to be sold or whether he will train and race them, but 1t is probably that he will race them.
 It Is about settled fact though that the unbeaten colt Colin will not race again In the present condition of New York racing affairs. there Is small in- ducement to train him next season after his long rest will be offered, and Colin although the danger of a bowed tendon seemingly exists no longer, probably will enter the stud next sea son though 1t remains to be determln- ed whether his new career will be in America. or in England.

Chicago, Oct. I4.--President c. w. Murphy, Of the Chicago National League Baseball Club last night--au- thorized the statement that his per- sonal check would be sent to the Ma tionaI Commission to pay for all re- Served seat tickets which were sold for the Sundey game and Mondays games in this city.
 This action followed the criticisms of the methods of distributing tickets for the worlds series and the insinua- tions that officials or employees of the iusion with scalners when ticI@efS were returned to the National Com mission as unsold although the public demand had not been supplied.
 MT. Murphy also came out strongly in favor of the suggestion that the National Commission take full charge of the sale of tickets for all future worlds series.

T. n. ELLIS URGES MATTER IN SELL
 MA ORGANIZATION.
hectares shiftIess Negro Is Detrtnient- al to Both Farming and Business Interests of Dallas
 County.

Selma. Oct. 14-(Special.)- l.)-That the farming interests of Dallas County and the entire State is being retarded greatly each year by shiftless and no account negroes, was most forcefully brought to the attention of the mem bers by J B. Ellis at the meeting or the Commercial and Industrial Asso- citation which was held last night MT. Ellis owns large tr. -ts of land in the county and for some years has been farming on a large scale, and the as- sertions which he made to the meeting proved quite a revelation.
 Mir, Ellis urged that the citizens of Dallas County and the State make an organized and systematic enort to get white immigrants to come, to the Soutn and settle upon the farm lands or the State By an organized effort he be- lieves that thousands of these imrni- grants can be induced to come to Ala balna and cultivate the lands which are now being farmed by the thous- ands of .shiftless negro farmers.
 Mir. Ellis stated that he had studied this Iquestion. and that during the past few years he had noticed that with each year less cotton was being raised in Dallas County. That the season made no difference, and that for the past several years he had gathered figures upon this question and knew that he was right.
 MT. Ellis said that the majority of the cotton which was raised by negro farmers in the county was made by old men and women. That the young ne- gro farmers were content to half work their crops and make about half of the cotton which they should make. That such farming was detrimental to the farming and business interests or the county. He urged that movement to bring immigrants to the State be started, and stated that he had no doubt that if the farms of the county were put under cultivation by white farmers that their yield would be twice as great and that business and pros nerity would increase in proportions.
 It was suggested that the land own CTS of the county organize into com nanv which should send agents alter tbese immigrants. He stated that he wouId sell half of his land to these Immigrants. That he would let com nittee of three men who knew farm lands set the price on his lands. and that he would then reduce this price a5 ner cent if he could sell the land to immigrants.
 The outcome of MT. Ellis's talk at +be meeting of the Commercial and In- SustriaI Association last night will un- Sonbtedly result in the large land owners of the county making a de- termined and systematic effort to get ;n,mirrants to come to Dallas County and settle upon the farms.

BRUNEB'S R0AD
 REORGANIZING

Information which has reached the Katalla Herald through Seattle cor respondent is to the effect that the Alaska Pacific Railway & Terminal company is in process of reorgauiza- ton, and as soon as it is completed construction work will be resumed on breakwater and railroad and har- Dor at Martin islands. In an inter- view In a Seattle paper, after his re, turn there from his inspection of the coal fields and the company's termln. als here, J. B. Florence the prOmi. nent mining engineer. is quoted as saying:
 After a thorough examination we have decided that the Martin islands, three miles from the present Katalla town site. offer. with an improvement nominal compared to the saving in mileage for a coal haul, harbor that will answer every purpose for all time to come. There are two of these islands, and with fill between them and a breakwater at one end, a  good.sized harbor will be afforded.
 Now this may seem odd, to say that a made harbor is an economical move. but once it is completed we will have only 2O.mile haul for the coal on a down grade. whereas If the Copper River X Northwestern lino-builds from Cordova it will have a haul of 80 odd miles. On a few tons of coal this will make but little difference, but in the years to come the millions of tons to be mined and shipped gives us a great advantage.
 The harbor at Martin islands will afford shelter for a fleet, and with deep water right at the edge of them the handling of coal can be done very cheaply."
 Mir. Florence when asked if he was associated with Henry Prick and other big iron and coal men of Pitts burg, evaded the question, saying tha he and other eastern men were back of the new enterprise, which when carried out would make Katalla one of the most important coal ports on the Pacific.
