NHw YORK, June Especial COM
missioner w. j. Calhoun, who was
sent to Cuba to investi gate the death
Of Ruiz, arrived this morning. His
mission in the matter was failure SO
far as securing proper testimony was
concerned. Important witnesses were
not produced and examined. They
dared not tell the truth. They had
been coached in their testimony.
FOnsdeviele, under whose orders Ruiz
was murdered, did not appear. His
whereabouts are unknown to the COM
mission. Ruiz's cell was suspiciOusly
cleared when the commission arrived.
The attendants were laughably polite
to the unfortunate prisoners. He is
satisfied Ruiz met . violent death and
says no end of the war is in sight,
though the Spaniards tried hard to
make the impression it was over. The
Cubans expressed great confidence and
determination to carry the fight to an
end. He visited q number Of Ameri-
can prisoners and found all we'll treat
ed. Very few native Americans were
in actual want.

Upon the educators of North Caro-
lima rests the responsibility of making
the local taxation cleo ion in August
successful. The newspapers and the
intelligent classes generally must give

schools and for the only hope of better
schools, namely, local taxation; but
the teachers must map out the cam

Assembly this plan must be mapped
out, if it shall be done at all. The
teachers will represent all sections Of
the State; they know the state of pub

know, as few can know, how greatly
the people of North Carolina need bet

teachers are perhaps more patriotic
than any other class, more used to

in part was as follows:
Resolved, That we hereby re-affirm

in him the fearless orator and states

peoples rights against the moneyed

GOV. LEEDY'S PLAN For A RAILROAD.
He Would Build Railroad to the Gulf
to Prevent Exbofbitaut Rates.

Mankatee, Kas., May 97.-Two thou
sand Populists held an indignation
meeting here to discuss railroad
freight rates, and the meeting afforded
Gov. Leedy an opportunity to spring
a surprise upon the people of Kansas.
After referring to recent Supreme
Court decision, further curtailing the
authority of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, he declared that time had
come for the people of the West to act,
and he stated that they must them
selves furnish the needed relief from
exorbitant freight rates.
Thereupon he proceeded TO outline
plan, which he said had been matur-
ing for four months. He announced
that he appeared before the meeting ~
the representative of . company of
railroad men who desired to 20 into
partnership with the public in the
building of railroad from some point
in Central Nebraska through Kansas
oklahoma, Indian Territory, and the
Gulf. He said the company he spoke
of was able and ready to complete the
road, provided the public would taxi
the majority interest in it, aud that
the public need not put up one CEN
until the railroad should be completed
1t is claimed, too, that the ,5Ol
convicts in Texas could be put to Worl
on the road bed, the State receiving
pay fer their labor in first mortgagt
honda. The Governors plan vas en-
thusia stically received.
