the Southern Railway and the latters
legal advisers are again in conference
here again today in an effort to secure
settlement of the trouble between

Of the company's charter for violation
OF the new law which prohibits the
transfer of any railroad suit from the
state to the Federal court The South
ern Railway is said to have made sew
eral propositions to Governor Conner
through Colonel Russell, but as vet
none of them have been accepted. The
governor Is understood to be disposed
to liberality, but TO have refused abso-
lutely TO surrender on any Of the mat
erial points at issue Ii is still be-
lieved, however, that there is a .pos-
sibiity OF an amicable settlement and
the legislature which adiourns today
viii probably not be detained in ses-
sion by the executive unless something
unexpected happens
Southern is Indicted.
Matters were somewhat COMPLICATED
last night by the return of indictments
against the Southern Railway as a for
eign corporation without a license
Should Russell and the governor come
TO terms the cases will probably not
be pushed. 1t is true we are in con-
ference said Governor Conner before
today's meeting opened and that some
tentative proposition has been made
/ do not feel at liberty now to state
what these propositions were but a
settlement is under consideration
Upon today's deliberations will prob
ably depend the question Of peace or
war.
