It i f understood here, thougfi not given out officially, that! the date has been changed to the; eleventh of November. V "On Saturday," said President Gan non, who waa in his private car, "this J car 'Will go through from Raleigh to j Norfolk and It will be the "first through passenger car on our new line. Our depot here is not completed nor is j the road bed from here to Wilson and Washington In the first class con- j dltlon we will have it. for it is new j and soft, but in a few weeks we will i have it in shape.

' ill at Re sult, But May Open the Way for a Basis of Agreement Tho Governor Cannot Agree to Put a Higher Rate in Force. By THOMAS J. PENCE. .Washington, D. C, Oct. 25. With the view of effecting a compromise in the matter of freight and passenger rate reduction in North Carolina, which is now pending in the; Federal courts for solution, a conference was held here today, which was attend ed by Governor Glenn, former Gov ernor""""Aycocl! and "ex-Congressman Woodard on behalf of the State, and President Fin ley. Vice President An drews, General Counsel Thom and As sistant General Counsel Humphrey, for the Southern Railway. The Governor and the attorneys representing the State met the officials of the Southern at the headquarters of the Company this morning and two lengthy con ferences, morning and afternoon, were held. There is strong reason for saying that nothing approaching an agree ment was reached. None of the Inter ested parties would discuss the mat ters that were under consideration, but it is known that there will be a re newal of the conference tomorrow. It Is evident that the parties to the rate litigation in North Carolina are as far apart as ever, though concessions by the railroad might put a different phase on the situation. There was a report tonight that the Southern wanted the , Governor to agree to the enforcement of a two and three quarter cent rate in North Car olina and bring all pending litigation to an end. Color is given to this by reason of the agreement reached in Alabama last week between Governor Comer and President FInley by which a two and three quarter cent rate is in effect. Comment is also made because of the fact that the officials and at torneys of the Southern who 'reached the: agreement with Governor Comer received Governor Glenn today. It is not believed for a moment that Governor Glenn would accept such a compromise. To stat with, a wo and onoi quater cent rate Is already In ef fect and will continue for at least nine months. It Is generally believed that the State has a good chance to win be fore the Supreme Court-of the United States and any compromise of this kind would necessarily mean a con cession by the State. The only ad vantage the railroad had Is the sup port of one United States circuit judge, but this fact does not help in the slightest degree the final determination of the case. Therefore, it can be regarded as a safe bet that Governor Glenn will rr-am no decision that means a con cession by the State. It is possible that the Southern offi cials have put out a feeler and that other propositions are to be submitted. The; railroad has all to gain. An ex amination of the officials of the road In the hearings before Standing Mas ter Montgomery Is not desired, and there Is the possibility that Judge Prltchard may be overruled In his de cision cutting off the Inspection of the company's books. The one fact discussed by the offi cers today was that the conference was brought about s the result of cor respondence between Governor Glenn and ; President Flnlev. if Governor Glenn should look with favor on anv proposition submitted by the railroad he would probably rail the Legislature together for the purpose of taking fin al action. Th matter of rate taking is legislative rather than executive. Governor Glenn received tonight a telegram from Governor Comer, of; Alabama, inviting him to attend a conference In Atlanta Tuesday, at which Governor Smith, of Georgia, is also sto he present. The three Gov ernors of the States have been prom inent in xirging railway rate reduc tions In the South and it is presumed that the conference has been called for the purpose of meeting the attack of the railways in the courts against the existing rate reductions. Governor Glenn is not certain that he can be present on the date named, for he ex perts to be detained at Raleigh in conference with rounsel regarding the compromise overtures of the South ern Hallway in the North Carolina rate case.

Von Tres kow later returned to the court and said the prince refused to receive them. Herr Harden, during the proceed ing lost his temper, and waving his hand In fury toward Count Kuno Von Moltke. yelled, "Does he still deny that a member of the royal house told me that Von Moltke would be mad it he tried to repel the charges?' Justice Kearn asked General Von Moltke if he had resigned his position on account of the publication of Herr Hard en's charges. Von Moltke repuea that theer had been such a mountain of lies piled ud1 against him that ha felt he could no longer remain military commandant of Berlin. He said that he had worn the emperor's uniform for 42 years and loved his career. Ha begced the court to take the ruin of his career into consideration when he passed sentence upon Harden.

Rome, Oct. 24. The details received here during the day regarding1 tha earthouake in Calabria yesterday, in every way tend to show that the dam age done was much 1 more extended than lTrst estimated, but that the loss of life has not been great. The low est estimates place the number of kill ed at about twenty and the highest at about 120, but up to this evening there is nothing to show that the last fig ures mentioned-are correct. Nothing definite will be known on the subject untlj the ruins are cleared away. Details of the earthquake show that the shocks were especially severe in the southern end of the Calabrian Peninsula, but throughout Calabria there were scenes of desolation and despair. The first shock was a tre mendous one and was followed by two others of longer duration, which de stroyed two villages and reduced many houses in several sections to a mass of ruins. The first shock fortunately brought the entire population of the villages into : the open. Many succeeded in making their escape to the hills or open plains, which accounts for tha small.ness of the list of fatalities.. To add to the desolation I caused by the earthquake it was raining In torrents yesterday evening which greatly In creased the suffering among the home less people. i Many persons were buried in the ruins and at Sinopll and Ilario. more llvfs ure said to have been lost. Panic prevailed everywhere. Rocello, Jo nica, Reggio, Cosansa, Baracdia, Cltta nova; Palml. Marina and other towns also suffered great shocks, but none severely. The cathedral at Torre dl Gerace was thrown down as was also an ancient tower which had withstood all the Calabrian earthquakes for cen turies past. Half the houses of the villages of Gerace are ; In ruins and similar conditions prevail at a num ber of other points in Calabria. During the confuiton caused by the first earth shock the prisoners in the Jail at Catantro mutined and were only subdued with great difficulty. The femkle s prisoners were particularly alarmed, screaming and shouting and beating the doors until the whole placet was In a terrible uproar. The prison officials did everything possible to calm the inmates, but panie broke out afresh every time an earth ahoke was experienced.. i ' A - As soon as possible detachments of troops with relief trains were hurried to the scene of the disaster and did everything they could to assist the people who had fled from their homes.

Thr an nouncement from Manila1 today . that Secretary Taft had gone to Sublg Bay to investigate the work or roruncation that -is srolng on there under the dl reetion of the Chief of Artillery with the view of reconciling, if possible, tne long standing differences between, the War Department ana xvavy depart ment as to its feasibility, aroused the keenest interest at both departments today. The Navy Department was commit ted to the plan of rortirying Bunig Bav aa the main defence of the Phll- iDDine Islands v very early in the work of providing for the-coast defences in those noscesslons. a naval board de ciding that It was more desirable than Manila as. a naval base and as the main point for fortifications. As A result of these recommendations the large floating dry dock Dewey, which was constructed in xnis country tnu towed to the Philippines. Is located at Oloogapo, In Sublr Bay. All the work that has been done thus far has been in conformity with the general policy of abandoning Important defences at Manila and Cavlte and concentrating the work upon Sublg Bay. , T But the army engineers who have recently been investigating the condi tions along the coast of the bay have reached the conclusion that it will re quire 100,04)0 men to defend that point from a land attack. The "result of the surveys made by the army engin eers has convinced the authorities In the War Department that the scheme of fortifying Sublg Bay Is impractica ble because of the aimcuity or main taining the land defences. The mili tary strategists point out that where ever coast fortifications- have been re duced In recent years it has been, as m result or iana aiiacx. The Naw Department la sun strong In its contention that because of the splendid naval base afforded at Sublg Bay the work or improvement snouia go on. Admiral jewey. neaa or me General Board of the wavy, takes this view, and is warmly supported by Rear Admiral Browion. cnier of the bureau of navi ration. Secretary Taft will return to Manila tomorrow. Orders were 'Issued today at' the bureau of navigation placing the United States ship Rainbow, flag ship of the third squadron of the Pa cific fleet, at the disposal of the Sec retary and his party to convey him from Manila to Dalny or Vladivostok. accordingly as he may conclude.' to embark or the Trans-Siberian Railway for. St. Petersburg. , The plans have been made, for the Rainbow to leave Manila on November 9, Rear Admiral Hemphill will accompany the Becre tary on the trip. , ..

(By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C, , OC. 24. The continued 'presence' In Washington of Rear Admiral Evans, who Is to, com mand the Atlantic batf ..ip fleet on Its voyage to the Pacific, -he dally ap pearance of orders making changes In the personnel of the fleet, and the conferences; ! going oh between the president and Secretary If rt calf since tha, former, returned to. Washington, have had thW effect to renew Interest In the rapidly approaching departure of the great fleet. Naval officers here have had their attention directed to the remark of the president in the course of his recent speech at Vlcks bu rg, bearing upon the fleet move ment as representing the present state of mind of the chief executive upon that subject. It is recalled that the ejnassat A sasi waV asms aalkva lt Via marks to answer the criticism he said he had observed in some quarters that he was exceeding the appropriation available for coal In getting the fleet to the Pacific. At this point he turned to Representative John Bahrp Wil liams, who was on the platform, and remarked, "I should like to say . that w have money enough to get the fleet to the Pacific. If the appropria tion is then exhausted tha question of getting it back will 'depend upon another appropriation . being made.? While this utterance appeared to Indicate a purpose on the part of the president to leave to congress the final decision of tha question as to was to return to tha east. It Is now certain that th president has never In his own mind cherished anv Mm of maintaining the fleet permanently In the Paclfio, Indeed, it was today learned beyond question that not only aoes in in ten a to order the fleet back to the Atlantic, bur that unless his present plans are changed that or der will go forward to the admiral In command before the shine hv been ninety days on the Pacific coast of North America. One Important conclusion fa n drawn from this now established fact mat me neet is to Teturn almost as soon as the great ships can be cleaned op, replenish their supplies of coal and provlslona, and be otherwise made completely ready for the 14.000 return cruise. v The conclusion that the exre ntlve feels absolutely no apprehension respecting tne possibilities of a war with Japan, and the short ston at th turning point will amply demonstrate tne truth or the atatement heretofore made from authorized sources that the purpose of the cruise Is to test the capabilities of a modern battieshtn fleet under conditions almost aa try ing In ths point of endurance at toast as might be expected to arise In actual wariara.
