It was to avoid the humilia tion of going to jail that Justice Separk swore out the warrants as a magistrate. Mr. A. J.

New York, Aug. 21.- If Wall street opinion Is worth anything, there is no chance that the Southern Railway will accept suggestions of Governor Glenn of North Carolina that the Southern Hallway withdraw its pres ent action and Wait for the decision of the supreme court of the 1 nited States on the rate question now pend ing In the state courts and the other In tho Cnitod States circuit court, or that the road will give the rate law the "fair trial" suggested, and If It finds it will be confiscatory, that road could depend on the sense of fairness of the people to Insure a change. In Mortal Fear of the Poor-Hoiisc. One of tho counsel for the South ern Hallway said today: "The papers have not made It clear that It costs ns just eighty-six and thirty-five hundredths cents for every dollar's worth of business we do In North Carolina. If we accepted the reduced rates that the slate law has provided for intrastate business, we would make a profit on our assessed tax valuation within the state of just a9 1-100 of one per cent. "Within the state of North Caro lina we pay taxes on a valuation of $7,213,222.7 1. I'ndor tho present rate schedule our profits would be only $2)1,007.47 on our tax valuation. This leaves out of consideration our capitalization and the percentage that should bo due on our franchise value." The Governor's Proposition. The following in the New York Times contains Governor Glenn's proposition: Governor ltobert B. Glenn, of North Carolina, had a conference in the Hoffman House yesterday afternoon with A. P. Thom, the general counsel of the Southern Hallway, In the course of which he made some sug gestion that, if adopted by tho rail road officials, will bring to an end the taking of testimony In the suit brought by tho Southern to have the North arollna two and a quarter cent a mile rate law declared confiscatory 'and unconstitutional. I Mr. Thom told Governor Glenn that he would bring his suggestions to tho . attention of the Southern Railway of- detain and would let him know the re sult ns soon ns possible.

Western I'liion, interview, said Hint their. only fear now was that of violence on tin; part of the strikers. The two or three policemen sent to guard the en trance to -nut In- offices of each office have not hing loilo and are 'growing fat and lazy. The majority of the strikers have gone to their homes, announcing that they would not re-', turn until the strike, has ended in their favor. Not one case of violence has been reported in this city.

Just how ecutive and Mr. Thorn was must har monious, and just" before leaving for North 'Carolina -'last night, 'Governor Glenn said- that he believed the "dif ferences between "the railroad and the stale were in a fair way to be settled to . the satisfaction of the people, of North Carolina.

Montgom ery, in this City. 1 made two sugges tions to Mr. .-Thorn, the first of which was that we stop the taking of testi mony until in the two suits, one from the Cntcd States circuit court, and the other from the state court, the su preme court of the 1'nlted States could pass mi the .jurisdiction of the two courts, and that after this was done, each party could decide what course to take. " . ... . "My second suggestion was that the railroads stop their suits and try to live under the two-tun) a-quarter cent rate, and If after giving the law a trial they find thai they cannot con tinue under il and live, then they should npeal to tin- Justice and fair inlndodnos of the people of the state of North Carolina to right the wrong and It would be done. Mr. Thom said be would see President Finloy. of the Southern, and would inform blin of my suggestions. What I said, however, It must be remembered, was only . In the nature nf suggestion." "Arc you a candidate for the dein aeratic nomination for president?" a reporter asked Governor Glenn. Governor Glenn laughed so long and loud at this question that tears dimmed his merry eyes. "Not a bit of It." ho answered, "for as I hnve said on several occasions, I do not think the time Is ripe for the Humiliation of a soutm man for president. I am for the nominee of the democrat le party, whoever he may lie. ami North Carolina, ns Is her cus tom, will go to Hie nominee by a plurality of between W.0U0 and 70,1100 Voles."

Kver since King alios' last refusal to abdicate his throne ut the demand of tlie republicans the revolutionary spirit has been spreading In Portugal, and 'the agitators have been growing bolder and more defiant.
