Gov. GLENN ISFIRM
No Compromise with the Railroad
4 Unless They Obey the Law
Pending Litigation.
MAYCALL An EXTRA SESSION
North Carolina Executive Does No
Propose to Permit Federal Judge
to Nutify Safe Law Without
Protest.

Raleigh, N. G., July 26.-Nothint
came from the conference Thursday
between Assistant United States At
torney General Edward T. Sanford ant
Governor Glenn concerning a basis Of
settlement OF the pending railway rat
question between the state and South
ern railway involving the jurisdiction
4 Of state and federal courts Governor
Glenn emphasized the statement that
It would be useless for the railways tc
make any proposition that did not first
provide that the state rate law should
70 into effect pending the result OF the
litigation, and that II the railroads re
fused his offer the state would, In .
perfectly legal way, continue to exc
cute the law as he sees 1t. II neces
sary he announced he will call an ex
ira session Of the general assembly
that 1t may act as II sees 1t on all
matters affecting the litigation; that
as he gets his authority and power
through 1t that body alone, by way Ct
eminent domain, ETC., can control and
regulate arilroads acting In defiance Of
both the law and the proceedings Of
the legally constituted state courts.
An extra session seems inevitable as
a basis Of settlement The governor
suggested to Mr.. Sanford the following
which he has wired to the state solici
tor ut Asheville:
"That the 2A-cent rate can be put
into effect at once by the railroads un
til a final legal settlement, the state
to appeal from the order OF Judge
Pritchard discharging from custody
the Southern railway ticket agents In
Asheville; the Southern railway to ap
peal to the supreme court, North Caro-
lima in the Wake county case, In
which the company was fined $4,000
and II decided against 1t, to go by writ
of error to the supreme court OF the
United States; each side to cooperate
TO have both cases advanced, argued
together and speedily determined; the
state at it's option to indict the At
lantic Coast line in one case for viola
ton of the rate law; all other indict
ments to be stopped pending a final
determination of the case; the govern
or to advise all people against bring
ing penalty suits pending final deter
mlnation, and to ask the people as
whole to acquiesce in these arrange
ments. the injunction suit pending be-
fore Judge Pritchard to be diligently
prosecuted without the state waving
any question OF Jurisdiction"

OUR RAILROADS KILL MORE
Statement Showing "a Comparison
With European Countries.
Killed and Injured From Each 1000
Employees More Than Double
Any Other Country.

Berlin, July 25.-Herr CUTLERY, an
official Of the archive bureau Of the
Prussian railway administration, has
prepared q comparative table of Stats
tics of those killed and injured by rail
ways in various countries. He finds
that both absolutely and relatively the
railroads in the United States are the
most deadly. The United States has
more mileage than all Europe, but
even taking that into consideration
the United States holds prominence
in proportional figures. Out Of every
thousand railway employees the ratio
Of the number injured each year is as
follows:
United States 43.5; Switzerland
1853; England 11.S; Belgium II; Ger
many "a.
Out Of every ten thousand employees
the relative figures Of killed are:
United State 261; England 1913;
Switzerland So; Russia rs; British
india 6.7; Belgium Al.
Herr Cutlery finds that in a single
year-the fiscal year of 02-376,50O
persons were injured in the United
States whom $4,000 were employees
and $500 were killed Of whom 5000
were employees.
In the matter Of travellers injured.
France holds the lowest record in the
world. United States shows proper
tionately forty times as many injured
as Russia; % times as many as Italy;
as England, 20; Belgium eight; switz-
erland four; Germany twice.

ANNEX THE CONGO
It is at Last to Pass From the Per.
sOnal Control Of King
Leopold.
TO Be COLONY OF BELGIUM
Terms Upon Which Transfer Shall Be
Made About coneluded--Has
Caused an international
Scandal for fears.

Brussels, July 25.-The close Ct
King Jeopold's long struggle to Stave
off the annexation Of the Congo 10
Belgium and TO retain his pers NAL
sovereignty over this rich and extern
sive African state, is 'foreshadowed IN
the agreement reached on July IL be-
tween the Belgian and the Congo gov
ernments, celebrating the terms upon
which the Congo Free State shall
pass into the possession Of Belgium.
This transfer will mark an import
ant epoch for the. Congo, as hereto
fore the entire conduct Of affairs, CIV
Ii and military, has been under the
personal direction Of King Leopold
and cabinet Of Congo officers entire
ly separate from and Independent Of
Belgium, whereas the new regime viii
make the Belgium government, in
stead Of the king indivi la'ly respon-
sible for the conduct Of Congo affairs.
The British and American govern
ments have favored placing this gov.
ernmental responsibility on Belgium,
as the British officials have made the
point that there was great difficulty
in dealing with the Congo In view OF
its anomalous position, as personal
dependency Of the king, whereas, for
eign governments could deal with i
through the usual diplomatic ls
II the Belgian government assumed
responsibility for Its administration.
The proposed transfr comes at
time when Major Lemalr's charges Of
Congo atrocities are again directing
attention to the past administration.
Charges Of this nature have hereto
fore aroused much resentment in
Europe and the Uuitel States and the
Congo administration has sought to
meet them in part by tho investiga-
lions by a commission, the report OF
which disclosed many serious abuses.
Major Lemair now renews the at
tack with a yehemsnce and the au-
thorltative status which give added ef-
feet on his charges.
For five months at4e' the Belgium
parliament committed itself last De
cember to annexation Count Smet de
Naeyr, the premier and strong per-
sonal friend of the King blocked the
way and the parliamentary commits
sion appointed to investigate the in
tricacies of the Congo financial adj
ministration was powarlsss to get at
the facts. The De Troos government
assumed power In May upon the Prom
ise to push the QUESTION, but there is
q suspicion that 1t hal nude an agree
ment with the king who was ready
at last to yield On the question OF
ami. exation through fear of the inter
vention by outside powers out WAC
II is believed, has no intention OF per-
hitting the Belgium parliament, II he
ca prevent tito Try too closely in
to the Congo admintstraticn. The
cnestion Of the responsibility for the
future administration Of the Gorge
vi der a regime OF an1exatiol Is to De,
there fore the real Issue.
The indications are that the whole
subject will be threshed out in parlia-
ment during the fall and that January
or February, 1908, will see the Congo
Free State q colony Of Belgium, In
stead Of personal dependency Of
King Leopold.
