CONCESSIONS MADE.
Southern Railroad and Its Allies Will

Court Proceedings Will Be Modified.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. Governor
Conner and the officials Of the South
ern railroad reached an agreement
this afternoon and the license Of the
railroad in Alabama will be reinstated.
Beginning September i, 1907, the rail
road and allied lines will put into ef-
feet the TWO and half cent passenger
fare act and the measure of reducing
the freight rates on 110 commodities
commonly shipped in Alabama.
The agreement was not reached
without concessions being made by
both sides, but in the main 1t is a
victory for the state. The laws in
question will not be put into effect
permanently. The agreement specifi-
eally declares that the operations be-
ginning September j, are only sub
ject to the final determination as to
their constitutionality when decision
on these questions is finally render.
ed by court of last resort.
The railroad official agreed to have
the federal court modify its order
restraining the state from putting the
laws into effect. The compromise
only affects the one railroad system
the Southern. Meanwhile the other
laws enacted by the legislature af
fecting the railroads will remain in
force. s6s3

AMERICANS ARE SAFE.

Washington, Aug. S.-At the in
stance Of American friends of the mis-
sionaries in Persia and particularly of
the teachers Of the American schools
for girls at Urumiah, the state depart
ment has requested Ambassador Leisi-
man tPSConstantinople, to make in
quiry as to their safety. Today a ca
blegram was received from the am
bassador stating that he had been as
sured by the sublime porte that all
possible measures would be taken to
safeguard American interests in the
territory in dispute between Turkey
and Persia, and that orders to that
effect had been sent to tEe Turkish
military commanders.
Mr. Leishman thought it unlikely
that Urumiah would be invaded by
the Turks for the reason that it is
outside Of the disputed zone and the
Turks have been given strict orders
to confine themselves to their own
side of the line and keep out of Per
sia He also reports the presence Of
marauding bands Of Kurds and that
revolutionary parties witBIarms are
adding to the disturbances. The Per.
sian government has very little con
troll Of the situation and seems una
BILE to preserve order. There appears
to be no danger Of attacks on Ameri
cans.

French Newspapers Express Views on

Morocco Situation.
Paris, Aug. Sin spite of the firm
intention of the French government to
keep within the terms of the Alle--
ciras convention in it's dealing with
Morocco, the French press clearly
foresees that Franch, unlesss the sit
uation rapidly improves, has entered
on long and heavy task. The news
papers express the opinion that France
upon which the chief burden Of res
toring security in the disturbed coun-
try will fall, may be forced to occupy
in turn all the Moroccan ports and
then probably be compelled to under
take an initiative to Fez, after which
it would be impossible to withdraw as
was the case of the British in Egypt.
The bombardment of Alexandria en-
sured the prestige of Great Britain in
Egypt, SO it is argued the French bonn.
bardment Of Casa Blanca will have a
similar effect in Morocco. An expedi.
ton to Fez, the newspapers point out
would, like the English victory at Tel
El Kebir, complete the parallel.

Washington, Aug. S.-The national

Chairman Knapp of the interstate

act as mediator at the request OF
Vice President Parker Of the Colorado

calling the strike P. H. Morrissey,
grand master Of the Order of Railroad
Trainmen, was violating the union
agreement signed at Chicago last year.
1t was Impossible to find a common
ground on which the parties could
agree, and SO the government officials
gave up any idea of settlement at
this time.

through the court room. s3.
When the time arrived to take the

to embark in launches and be taken

ship many again broke out in sobs
and expostulations against going
aboard.
