In support Of this position the conditions
Of Americans and American interests

condition of the country folk, which he
knows from personal experience. Per-
sonally Mr.. Calhoun is not in sympathy
with the jingoes. But his heart has
been stirred by the woes of the wretch

said as much. and when he gets Mr..

Lee Would Not sign.
The Ruiz investigation is closed. AT
the conclusion of the investigation DR..
Congosto prepared a report which he
requested General Lee to sign. In it
he said that Ruiz had been treated as
guest Of the nation, had mattress
and pillows good food, the attention Of
nurses, and, in fact, all that any man
could wish. General Lee declined posi-
lively to sign the report which DR.. Con-
gosto submitted. Then General Lee sub
mitted a report setting forth strongly
the fact that Ruiz was kept 315 hours
incomunicado: that it was known that
he was an American citizen and that
such solitary detention was in absolute
disregard of the treaty; that he died
while so held incomunicado, and that as
these facts are admitted the claim must
hold good. DR.. Congosto declined to
sign this report. General Lees report
goes to Washington at once. Mr.. CAL
houn will support General Lee abso-

RAILROAD POOLING BILL.
Final Consideration in Committee Is
Again Postponed.

F1nal IN IS
Again Postponed.
Washington. June 4.-The final con-
<.deraton of the railroad pooling bill
was again postponed by the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce Thurs
day. Senator Chandler moved a post
ponement until the first of December
but the motion was not voted on and a
compromise was agreed upon postponing
the measure until the next weekly
meeting. In presenting his motion SEN
ator Chandler read a written statement
signed by himself and Senator Tillman
giving their reasons for seeking the con-
sideration of the bill delayed. Among
the reasons urged was the general un-
derstanding that the tariff only was to
receive attention at the present session:
also the necessity for various nvestiga-
tions by the committee and for careful
scrutiny Of the recent supreme court de-
cisions bearing upon the interstate COM
merce questions which would now be
impossible. They suggested the import
ance Of an investigation of the issuance
Of free passes by the railroad companies
to accomplish their purposes as vio-
lation of the existing law and of the
probable effect Of pooling contracts upon
the wages of labor.
