C, December 11. These are days full ot human Interest for Raleigh and the State for-blg things are going on. Early this morning President Finleyot the Southern Rail-, way arrived, went to vice-president Andrews' offlceimd the two made their way to' -the capitol, entered the office of Governor Glenn and a conference immediately began. . All day yester day there had been talk about the imminence of a special session of the leglslatu re. One State officer talked about it quite freely, saying he saw no other way out of the situation; an other said be hoped an extra session would not be found to be necessary; a third said never a word, but sim ply pinched his lips together with his fingers, this being the sign language to show that he could not talk. It was Very evident. that under officials and persons connected in any capaci ty with the railway rate case thought an extra session was coming and was the solution of the great question of the day. - . Your correspondent interviewed Gov ernor Glenn regarding the status of the passenger rate matter. The Gov ernor said that as was well known the only proposition he had made to the railways ..in the first Instance was to obey the law and if they found the new rate worked a hardship and made it appear as entailing great loss he would convince the legislature inspe clal. seslon. To this proposition the Southern railway made a counter one asking him to recommend the same terms as those accepted by the Gov ernor of Alabama. The Governor not thinking these latter terms were suf ficient declined to do so. He was then asked if there was any proposi tion he would make to the roads, sub ject of course to the approval of the legislature.. -;- .; ' ' ' :r"r-': After, consulting the Council ot State corporation commision. and the State's attorneys, he made the following prop osition. . That he would recommend to the Legislature an Increase of the flat rate from 2 1-4 to 2 1-2 cents provided the railways change the interstate rate from ? to 3-14 to 21-2, making it uni form in all States, and in addition give mileage books for firms and. em ployees hot over five , in number for 2 cents, then to he both inter and in tra state and Interchangeable, also thousand mile books' at 2 cents and family books 600 miles at 2 cents. The railways to pay the cost of the lltlga tlon to date. .'.- - - The railway, as to the family mile age books gave' good reasons why thejr couia not anorn to issue tne latter so this part of the proposition was so amended as to make the rate 2 1-4 cents. Thpse terms were accepted by the Southern, and the Seaboard Air Line, but the Atlantic Coast Line and a few other roads declined to accept them and. it was useless to call the legislature together to submit the mat ter unless it was acquiesced in by all the roads, nothing, further waa done as to calling the' extra session. Gov ernor Glenn said the terms he propos ed subject-to approval by the legisla ture and acquiesced in by the South ern and Seaboard- Air Line, would have been Jest and that he greatly re grets all the trouble cannot be amica bly settled by the other roads agree ing- , ' . ' . Before the Corporation, the various attorneys, Including E. J. Justice Man ning, Guthrie, Foushee and Herbert Norrls, met and submitted the draft ot the complaint which is to be at once put, before the- Interstate com merce commission I nthe matter of alleged discrimination in freight rates by the Norfolk and Southern Railway against -North Carolina towns, nota bly Durham and Wlnston-Salera. Oth er casesagalnst other roads will come along later; in fact may be said to be now pending. It is not known, of course, when the Interstate Commerce Commission will take action in the matter, but It will be urged to expedite it as the importance of the question is felt ty every one and it Is really a teat case, which will have a far-reach result.

Failure of State Railway In terests to Agree on Rate Question. News .From Kalelglu.f?fW; Special Correspondence. : ., -', Raleigh, N. C. December 12. Gov ernor Glenn has written a very strong letter to the Secretary of the Navy requesting that the cruiser North Car oline shall be in North Carolina waters when the gift of the State to the Ves sel is presented, this to bo a rllvor service, the design for which has al ready been accepted. The governor in his letter points out that Cape Look out is a wonderful harbor, a natural one, having 40 feet of Water and that it is a place of safety, fit for a fleet to ride in. It is hoped that the Navy Department will have the cruiser there to receive the gift The date for the presentation has not yet been fixed, but most probably it will he in-the spring or summer of next year. - Today a rapid fire gun captured from the Spanish navy at the battle of San tiago de Cuba, was received here, from the Norfolk navy yard, and will be placed as a trophy of the war beside the bronze statue of Ensign Worth Bagley in the capitol square. The gun has a Bhield and Is a type of the small er ones in use In the Spanish navy. Tjte Commissioner of "Agriculture says there is a lot of trouble in secur ing prompt reports from tobacco ware hoiueS. One offender in this resoect to be made an example of. The law"1mposes a $500 fine for failure to make prompt and accurate reports and the Agricultural ' Department today turned the case over to the attorney general so that he can sue for the penalty. After this it will he imposed upon all who fall to make these re ports as they should be made. . Of course there was no end of talk today about the failure of the govern or and the railways to come to terms as to- the passenger rate Question. The action o fthe Atlantic Coast Line and of the Louisville and Nashville Railways came as rather a surprise to the public. The Southern and Sea board Air Line agreed to a settlement and everything looked all right but the 'Coast Line and Its affiliated road broke up everything by the refusal. These roads, by the way, are, as some one remarked today, "first cousins, once received."; Now the whole case goes along and no one. can tell what will bo the outcome. " A prominent member of the legislature said today that as far he was concerned he did not care, and he boldly advanced the opinion that the Coast Line waa jock eying and added to quote the slang phrase o fthe day that it would "come across." In other words that It would fall In line and was merely playing tor position." This gentleman said that up to yesterday he had expected an ex tra session o fthe legislature and most possibly in January. He now thought it very well to let the suit go on as It is going, and let the United States Supreme court pass upon it He de clared that what he wanted to see, was first of all, a decision by this nlghest Federal court, so that the people In North Carolina and the other States too could know the project of the mi nor or inferior Federal courts as to enjoining the Acts- o fthe legislature and thus stopping or checking State control ot public service corporations. The gentleman said that to ascertain this would cost lot of money, as the hearing, etc., is very expensive, but that !t would cosa lpt more not to find It out In the long run. When the Supreme court decides the question the 8tate will know just where ' it stands. It may lose out; it may win, but the legislature will certainly have some power. The roads which yester day agreed to make ' the rate 2 1-2 cents everywhere, to make the 2,000 mile books 2 cents and the 1,000 mile books for firms at the same rate and family mileage books 21-4 cents cer tainly made concessions. The Atlan tic Cast Line made no concession, The legislature could there fore say that It could fix the rate at 2 1-2 cents as to the Southern, Seaboard Air Line, Norfolk and Southern, etc, and 2 1-4 cents on the Atlantic Coast Line, since as to the other roads named tMere will be a uniform, rate within and without the State, both as to fiat passenger and mileage books, while the Atlantic Coant Line orered nothing but simply desired to tnnlntaln the existing; rate beyond the Elate, as to milca-e boul.s, etc. Cf courwe U.e Atlantic CoaHt Lin., may, as tLo ) r 1 1, "c - e aere.-ft," or it l ; y i t.
