INDIANA LIKES HUGHES.
Fnirbanks' supporters Said to Feel
Kindly Toward New Yorker

Indianapolis, Dec. &-The sentiment in
favor of Gov Hughes. Of New York. as
the Republican candidate for President,
has reached a stage where its existence
IS freely admitted by members OF the
Indiana Republican organization. and the
probability of his nomination has become
the theme Of discussion in the clubs.
Strange as it might appear. the mem
bers of these clubs. however ardent they
may be in their support OF Mr.. Fair
banks. do not meet the suggestions OF
Hughes candidacy in spirit OF crit IN
or opposition, but admit that the
York executive would make an adm
candidate in the present condition of
things. and might prove the strongest
man that the party could nominate.

RAILROAD RATE War TO END
Compromise Believed Effected Be-
tween Southern and States.
Gov. Glenn and President Finley
Hold n Number of Conferences
and Discuss Situation.

Government officials are delighted with
what looks like an early ending Of the
rate war in the South.
While no official information on the
subject can be obtained in Washington
in the absence OF President Finley. there
is good reason TO believe that tie gar
waged against the Southern Railway BY
a number Of Southern States is about 10
be brought to an end.
The statement was made upon good au-
thority yesterday that compromise has
controversy that will doubtless prove sat
isfactory TO the shipping and the travel
ing public.
The terms of the compromise are un-
derstood TO be that the Southern shall
impose a rate of ~ cents per mile for
passenger travel instead Of the 2-ccut
rates Prescribed by the legislature Of
North Carolina and the railroad comnis-
sions Of Virginia. Alabama. and other
States in the South through which the
lines OF the Southern pass. In the case
Of mileage books a fiat rate Of Z cents
shall be charged,
II has been evident for some weeks
that there has been desire on the part
of both the railroad company and the
governors of the States that made war
on the rates of the Southern to settle the
conflict out Of court.
Gov. Glenn. of North Carolina. and
President Finley have had number of
conferences, it is said, with this end in
view. AS far as North Carolina and
other States, wherein low rates were pre-
scribed by legislatures. the compromise
may not bacOD1a affpCfivp until fba Iaois-
lative bodies have had an opportunity
to make such changes in the present laws
as viii meet the terms OF the new ar
rangements perfected by the officials Of
the railroad company and the State
officers. In the case of Virginia, however.
and certain other States where the lower
rates were ordered by commissions. the
new rates Will be put into effect as soon
