NO COMPROMISE
 IN RA|LROAK CASE
Governor Glenn Meets Obstacle
 In His Plans
RAILROADS DO NOT AGREE
Atlantic Coast Line and Other Smaller Roads Refuse To Put In Rates, and Now the Case Will Go To
 the Supreme Court.

Raleigh, N. C., December 11.-All plans to compromise the railroad rate litigation are seemingly at an end for the present owing to the refusal of the Atlantic Coast Line and some smaller lines to agre to terms acceptable to the state and the Southern railway.
 This is the substance of a statement issued by Governor Glenn today after visit to him by President Finley of the Southern railway. Governor Glenn in his statement reviewed the various steps in the controversy, stating that he had proposed to the railroads that they use the state rate, stop all suits and see in six or eight months if the rate was coniscatory and if so the leeis- lature would be convened and asked to make a change.
 The South ern railway refused. Gov eror Glenn then proposed to call the legislature together to recommend A. rate of 2h cents for interstate and in- trastate mileage books of 500 miles. intrastate 1000 miles, interstate and in trastate interchangeable, at 3 cents a
  flies not exceeding five, all at 2 cents The Southern agreed to all except the 800 miles for families, putting this at 2A cents, and he accepted this. The Seaboard Afr Line also agreed, but the Coast Line and some smaller lines re- fused.
 The governor says that un- less all the roads accepted if would be useless to call the extra session of the legislature to ask it 70 accept the terms of the Southern and Seaboard and to pass such laws for the others as seems bes. At present the position of the state that 1t will con- tinue to prosecute iti case in the Unit ed States supreme court, the habeas corpus case of Ash eVille in which it Is contended that the fderal court has no Jurisdiction being st for hearing on December 19.

 It is almost definitely settled that the convention will be ield after the re- publican convention, Beginning the 23d or 30th of June
 There is no talk of any candidate ex- cept Mir. Bryan. Some members of the committee think it is too early to say any one man is certain of the nomination. Dds they add that the proba abilities point to the Nebraskan
 After finding that the committeeman had come here with no apparent concert of opinion regarding the place where the convention should be held. Mayor Tom Johnson tonight got in touch by long dis tance telephone with some of the lead ing men of Cleveland and 1t is understood that as result Cleveland will be pre- pared to bid for the honor of the con- vention and the propositions will be worth considering.

COMMENT ON STATEMENT.
Kentucky Man Says Bryan Is Next
 President Sure.

Washington, December 11.-(Special) ) Among other comments on the Presi- dents reiteration are the following:
 Senator Knox: "I am not at all sur prised. I believed him the first time. The Presidents word is always good with me-"
 Senator Tillman: "He has seen the handwriting on the wall and means that he will not attempt to stem the tide of democracy"
 Tom Johnson: "They may nominate him anyway"
 Speaker Cannon: "The President speaks for himself It is useless to at tempt to speak for him."
 Ollie James of Kentucky said that it was a surrender.
 Tt means" said MT. James, that the President has foreseen that the only reform ever attempted by the republi- can party has become a disaster and that the party is headed back to it's old corporation moorings. It means that he has run the white flag up with that of gold. and what is more, 1t means that Bryan will be next President of inc United States. Roosevelt is the only man whom MT. Bryan might not have beaten and with him now definite 1v out of the way there Is no question but that the democrats will be success ful in the next campaign
 Senator Hopkins of Illinois, one or the prime movers in the Cannon boom, is of the opinion that the announce ment of the President will aid the chances of the speaker to get the re- publican nomination.
 'It will help the Cannon boom, said Senator Hopkins, "and there is no ques- tion but that the speaker will be the next pominee." w. 5.

CHICAGO WORKS
 FOR CONVENTION
Louisville May Lose In Contest
 For the Honor
DENVER MAKES STRONG BID
Almost Barrel of Gold Is Offered To the National Committee For Ex- ,penses, But Chicago Will Prob
 ably Be the Winner.

Washington, December 11.-(Special) With three-fourths the members of the national democratic committee pledged to Louisville, the Kentucky metropolis biIs fair to lose the convention owing to the fact of it's inability to furnish a certified check for $35,000.
 lopisvi,le has a guarantee in good faith. backed by the names of the best business men in the city, but without a certified check it is very doubtful to- night if the national committed will accept any promises. Chicago will land big delegation of boomers here to- mo-row and may capture the plum They claim 1t tonight. The $100,000 in gold Put up by Denver is also a bis in- ducement to the committee. It is too far west, but 5000 gold double eagles is a lot of money for democrats.

DENVER WANTS THE PLUM.
Offer ot $1oo,ooo In Gold Looks Tempt
 ing To Committee.

Washington, December 1.-The sit- uation with reference to the place for holding the next democratic national convention had so simplifed itself to- night that practically all cities desiring the honor had been eliminated except Louisville, Chicago and Denver.
 Chicago holds favorite place in the view Of the committeeman who are now in Washington, but the frank statement of Roger Sullivan, who represents H. linois OH the national committee that 1t would be difficult to raise enough money to pay the expenses of the con- vention lad a dampening effect.
 The Denver delegation was mixing with the committeeman and impressed upon every one with whom they came in contaet with the fact of that oItys readiness and willingness to pay s100,- 900 to secure the convention. Louis- vile was also represented by state delegation headed by Senator McCreary and Representative Shirley and at a late hour indications were favorable to tf at city.
 The delegates named no financial sum but said they were prepared to offer the best convention hall in the country and expected .o pay all the expenses of the convention if 1t should go to their city. One objection to Louisville was on the score of aotel accommodations but the delegates protested that they had been very mucf improved in recent years and that there could be no doubt the people of that ely would be able to entertain the convention in good style.
 The distance of Denver from the center of population was the principal objection to that city and this probably will over balance the inducement which the sum offered constituted
 The outlook tonight is therefore. favor able to Lobisfille If that city gives suffi- cient assurance to the committee tomor- row that can take care of the con- vention and fill pay all the expenses.
 Mayor Tst Johnson of Cleveland is making no rtal effort in the interest of that city bfause of its inadequate hotel accommodations.

HUGHES NOW LOOMS UP AS MAN WHO WILL HAVE
 ID BE FIGURED WITH
Ollie James of Kentucky Says Roose- velt's Statement Means a Party Surrender and That MT. Bryan
 Will Be Next President.

Washington, December 11.-President Roosevelt will not be a candidate for third term. All doubt on this point was tonight dispelled by the authoritative statement from the White House that Mr. 5velt still adheres to the declaration of renunciation made on the night of elec- ton three years ago. In the statement issued tonight President Roosevelt says he has not changed and shall not change the decision communicated to the Amer ican people in 1904.
 It appears that President Roosevelt has been awaiting the call for the national republican convention to afford the proper opportunity for his clear and unmistaka- ble pronouncement, thus leaving the field clear for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox, Foraker, and others, declared or recep- tive candidates for the republican nomina- tion. The Presidents statement follows:
 ''On the night after election made the following announcements:
 "I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do I appre- ciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all in my power not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and half years. and this three and half years constitutes, my first term. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the sub stance and not the form, and under no circumstances will be candidate for or accept another nomination.
 T have not changed and shall not change the decision thus announced"
