Many RaIIroad Men Present.

There are a half-hundred of railroad men here tonight. men posted in the traf- fic affairs of the roads entering the state. These men do not discuss the possibili- ties or probabilities of the outcome of the contest However, 1t Is possibly best H. frustrated by a little story related at dinner by man grown gray In the ser vice of the railroads. It was at the cele- brated conference in Berlin in 1878, when the great questions of the east were be- ing considered. There were many notables present, including Lord Baconsfeld and Prince Bismarck. England had made the apparent call for a radical settlement, but there was rather an air of mystery. Punch appeared during the conference tatlon. In the cartoon of Lord Beaconsfield and Bismarck withdrawing from the pub lie chamber to private hall for consult with first-page cartoon of Beaconsfield is seen tapping Prince Bismarck upon the back with the question propounded: Bis, what is the French wor1 for com promise

Compromise Is In the Ar.

It is certainly in the air tonight that there is to be something like a compro- mise, or at least that the commission will make Q revision of the tariff rates in Alabama. MT. Conner rather astounded lis distinguished listeners today. There was perhaps not one of them who be- lieved. when the Birmingham manufac- turer first took the floor in an apologeric manner stating his great embarrass- lnent, that he was loaded for six hours. But Mir Conner proved man of wonder full vitality. He first unrolled countless sheets of statistics and then he brought forth a half dozen volumes from differ ent authors from which to quote when he desired to additionally impress the commissioners. His speech showed a wonderful research in the matter of ascer talning figures in comparison on freight rates, and for his side of the question he made a splendid representation. His pero- ration was rather out of the ordinary. After thanking the members for a pa- tient hearing and ''touting' the railroad men bit, MT. Conner called for his volume of modern eloquence, and from this he proceeded to quote famous pero- 1afion

 All the members of the commission were present for the meeting and the question of a general revision of rates in Alabama having been first taken up by the commis- sion of its own notion Colonel B. B. Conner of Birmingham opened tine case for the petitioners and he consumed the entire day before concluding his speech. Tomorrow beginning at o'clock the rail- road people will have an inning and 1t Is expected that several of them will accept the opportunity to instruct the commis- sion as to the conditions of the roads in Alabama

The Fight Begins.

The Fight Begins.
 President Smith stated that the first case to be considered was that of B. B. Conner, Frank s. White, ct als vs the several railroads entering the state of Alabama. The case had thus been styled by the commissioner, said MT. Smith, for the purpose of opening up the matter properly before the commission.
 MT. Conner stated that while his prin- cipal attorney, Frank S. White, was de- tained in Birmingham in an important murder trial he was willing to proceed with the case, but would ask that MT. White be permitted to close the argu- ment
 General Freight Agent Poe, of the Mo- bile & Ohio, speaking for the railroad peo- pie said that he hoped the hearing would proceed in an even tempered man. ner. He understood that the original case of rates on grain and hay had been mer- ged in the greater case of a general re- vision of the rates in Alabama. His side did not object to the complainints having the opening and closing. The railroads had nothing to conceal. They would sub init their statements on oath that the testimony might be considered legal and that they would not have anything to of fer in rebuttal. The representatives of railroads present were acting in the ca pacity of stewards. They wanted to bring  ments pro and con.
 Mir. Conner was again asked by Pres ident Smith if he desired to proceed, to which MT. Conner assented provided At torney White be given an opportunity to inspect the file and make reply, either orally or by brief.
 MT. Smith assured the speaker that this would be granted.
 Mr. Conner Again.
 Tn opening MT. Conner said he would try to make a statement of facts, and as he was not a speaker he was easily em- tarrassed. and if he should in his argu- II ents call names he should not mean it as personal, but reference to the cause they represented. He complimented the ability of the railroad men, In arranging 1 is papers MT. Con,er drew from his ba g a volume of Modern Eloquence," mak- ing the remark that he had some other good books which he hoped the audi ence would apr eciate just as much. MT. Conner had a half-dozen different vol umes and papers sufficient to cover a couple of small tables
