drawn taut. mainly for the reason that
Governor Glenn has not. as vet, seen
his way clear to accede to the pro-.
aposals of a pacific nature, which have
been submitted to him at rather fre-
auent Intervals since yesterday at teri
noon. In fact. the Governor has
evinced very little interest In this;

the acceptance of peace means
that the new rate law will be observed

and all hands are waiting for the Gov.
