and yesterday with several other officers
Of the company and its counsel in regard

IN Under Discussion by Both sides.
MONTGOMERY. Ala, Aug. 6.-There In
every indication hat the present strained
relations between the State Of Alabama
and the Southern Railway will be settled
satisfactorily to both parties. While " Ia
impossible to learn Of any elm agree
ment II Is safe TO aay that tho Southern
Railway will make concessions. Col. Z. l..
Russell, vice-president Of the railroad,
reached Montgomery last night and this
morning had a conference with Gov. Conner
looRfng to the settlement OF the differ
enoes. Neither Col. Russell nor Gov. Conner
had anything definite to say about the
interview other han that a tentative propo-
sition had been made to adjust differences
and that further conferences would take
place.
Gov. Conner said: 1T 10 true I have had
a conference with Col. Russell. Matters at
variance between the State and the South
ern Railway were discussed. Some tenta
tive propositions were made and further
conferences will be held. I do not feel at
liberty at this time to say what these propo-
sitions were. but the matter is being con-
sidered." The Governor was asked about
his conference in Birmingham and the
probable calling out Of the State Militia, il
needed, but was non-communioative.
The attitude Of the State, however, on
this question. it may be said. 10 that IL the
Southern Railway or any other road strikes
and refuses to do business in the state that
the militia will be called out IL necessary
to enforce obedience to the laws In other
words IL the employees of this road should
strike and its property was threatened the
State would not hesitate IL necessary to call
out the militia for the protection OF their
property. On theo other hand the State will
protect the people il the road should strike
and will call out h militia TO enforce obedi-
ence and order.
Said a member Of the Legislature this
morning: The State feels that the South
ern Railway has given 1t a slap in the face
by deliberately defying the law OF the State,
revoking the license of any foreign corpora-
ton doing a railroad business in Alabama
provided II remove a suit from the State
TO the Federal court. These questions
were all involved in the litigation pending
before Judge Thomas G. Jones in the

the past few years. This branch of

IL of Il highly specialized character
and II r.; almost impossible for depart
mcnt commanders to inspect and SUI
porvisc intclligcntly. This fact has
lead General Murray, chief OF artil-
lcry. to recommend that the coast dc.
fence branch of the service be or
ganiZed as Il distinct corps. For OBJ
vious reasons the utmost cooperation
Is necessary between the navy and the
coast artillery. each arm of the ser
vice having It's respective zones of
harhor control and on this account
1t is suggested that WHEN the coast
defense has been completely organ
lied as IL distinct corps II would be
well 10 transfer II to the navy.
The efficiency of the national de-
Tense has been greatly promoted by
the development of the coast artillery,
