Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 2O.-The compromise of the rate case by the state with the Chicago, Rock Island < Pacific, was a great victory for the shippers and passengers. The Rock Is- land had actually tried the two cent rate, and the two and a half cent rate too, and had fig ures to present to the court showing they were not compen- satory, hence this railroad would have had a better show ing in court than did the other railroads. Had the railroad won in court, it would have been no better off, however, for it must compete with the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain, and the highest court in the land has de- creed that they can charge no more than two cents per mile for hauling passengers, and the freight tariff fixed by the state on all other business handled.
 By the compromise, $100,000 is immediately placed in the hands of the state, to be refund- ed to the shippers who paid ov- exchanges while the suit was pending in the courts. If the claims amount to more than $100,O00, the shippers will be forced to pro rate the sum paid in by the railroad. There have been no claims filed with the special master, but the compro- mise will open the proposition, and when the freight claims are adjusted, the shippers will get their money. This is not the condition with the Iron Moun- tain and Cotton Belt, where the claims have been filed, for these railroads are resisting the claims.

saving enough with their cou- ponS, will have an additional ride coming. It has been sug- gested that the railroad run a seeing Arkansas special train, and haul those who have a ride coming, over the Rock Island lines to permit them to get a good look at their own state. The question of approving the compromise will be put up to the people who hold claims against the railroad. They will surely approve, for it wifi mean cash to them now, and a possibility, if the case went to court, of the state losing. It is a case of a bird in hand or two in the bush.
 Judge Joseph M. Hill, chief counsel for the state, and the only one representing it now, engineered the compromise, and considers it a remarkably good one? By it the shippers will re- ceive from 35 to 50 per cent of their claims.

Senator Clarke's Friends Pre- dict Magnificent Majority In

Special tO Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 20-Sen- ator Clarke will not lost ten counties in the primary next week, and the counties he loses will be by small majorities. He will carry Pulaski, his home county, by fully five times the number that Judge Kirby will receive in Miller his home coun- ty. It has been cleaimed by friends of Senator Clarke, that he could carry Miller county if he would speak in TeXarkana. Senator Clarke has declined to do SO, not believing in that kind of politics, if his opponent does.
 It is no idle boast to place Senator Clarke's majority at 25,000 and that is the most con- servative estimate those famil- far with political conditions over the state will make. Most peo- pie expect Senator Clarke to win by at least 10000, and with a large turnout on election day it will exceed that number.
