Wilmington. N. G., Aug 9-An election will be

question Of additional taxes for the support of the
public schools. Each township votes separately,
and the State is to give equal to what each
township may vote to impose on itself additional
taxation. The amount given by the State, how
ever is in no case TO exceed $500 to any township.
Little interest has been manifested. and there is
doubt that the movement for The additional

advocates claim only fifty to seventyhve townships

SENATOR STEWART ON THE CRIME.

Senator William NJ. Stewart. OF Nevada, was at
the Hoffman House last evening, and In converse
ton with newspaper men he expressed his belief
that the assassination of Premier Canovas was a
natural result OF what he called the cruel and vim
dictive policy of the Spanish Government. Con
sidering that Canovas was responsible for the
Barcelona trials and sustained Weyler in his bar
barlties in Cuba" said the Senator, 'it Is evident
that the Anarchists found the worst possible man
to wreak vengeance on. The Barcelona trials and
the Cuban "A atrocities the legitimate parents of
anarchy on the principle that crime beges crime.
Anarchy among the poor and desperate can be re-
pressed By law only when atrocities in high places
no longer exist 1t is injustice II is the subversion
of law by violence that breeds anarchy among the

INQUIRIES AT THE CONSULATE.

MANY ANXIOUS sPANIARDs THERE-JoY OF THE
CUBANs OVER THE ASSASSINATION
The Spanish Consulate. at No. 2 Stone-st.. was
visited yesterday by an almost constant stream of
Spanish residents In this city. anxious to learn the
latest details Of the assassination OF Canovas
Orturo Baldasano, the Consul-General, had no
more information at his disposal than has been
printed in The Tribune and other newspapers. AS
a matter of fact Senior Baldasano has as yet re-
ceved no official notification OF the death OF the
Spanish Premier, but this apparent oversight on
the part the legation at washington Is at
tributed to the circumstance that Minister Dupuy
de LONE has been in Lenox, Mass. The consuls
stationed IN this city visited Senor Badasano yes
terday for the purpose OF expressing their sym
pathy with the representative OF the Spanish Gov
ernment in New-YOrk Among those who also had
interviews with the Consul were several prles's
attached to Roman Catholic churches In the me-
tropois When seen yesterday Senor Baldasano
had evidently not recovered from the shock he
sustained when the news first impaired to
him on Sunday night. He was still laboring under
emotion. The death OF Canovas is. indeed. a mat
ter of personal grief 10 Consul-Genera Baldasano
who began his official career as protege and an
attache of the dead statesman so long ago as 1863
The opinion has been widely expressed that with
the taking off OF Canovas either popular rising
for a republic will take place or Don Carlos will
make one more attempt TO oust the young Bourbon
King Senior Baldasano however. does believe
that either development is likely to follow Spain.
he said "is inclined to a monarchcal government,
and If anything needed to make that feeling
stronger it will be the reaction and revulson that
the murder of Canovas will bring, even among the
opponents of the Government. Sagasta ana the
Liberals were the first to place themselves at the
loyalty this hour of trouble Is felt by the vast
majority OF Spaniards whatever way be their po,
itlcal eanings. There is no fear OF any organized
camor for a republic. The factor that advocates
republican principles is small and is divided among
itself Don Carlos Is unpopular in spain, ana any
movement he may make will receive little general
support" 49,, H., ..u.

probab BILE effect the death OF Canovas on Cuba
iibre There was only one expression OF opinion

prove of incalcuable benefit to Cuba, even TO the
extent of insuring her freedom
T. Estrada Palma. although deprecating the
assassination on general principles, did not dis
guise the pleasure which he felt at the prospects
of the benefits which Cuba must inevitably derive
from 1t. He said: 49,
"Canovas was more responsible for the outrages
in Cuba than Weyler. The Cubans do not believe
in murder but the killing OF CanOvas seems TO be
an act of retributon. At the same time, the
Cuban party has nothing whatever to do with the
death OF Canovas, and has had no knowledge that
such an act even contemplated by Anarchists
