Monday morning alb out 10 o clock,

Fred l.. Merritt, saying that the
third section of the train was wreck
ed near Savannah, Ca, one killed
and several hurt. This was posted
on the News and Observers bulletin
board, and in q few moments crowds
gathered about it, shocked At the
tragedy that had so soon come to
the North Carolina troops. Shortly
thereafter the following telegram
came from MAYOR Butler, command
ing the battalion, as follows:

THAT BRYAN LETTER.

The Raleigh Post. commenting up
on the proposition made by the Popu-
list State Convention for cooperation
Of all who are opposed to gold and
monopoly, says:
"When Senator Butler made w. j.
Bryan's letter to the New York Jour.
nal, an amendment to Ayers resOlu-
tiOn favOring fusion, the convention
acted blindly. Senator Butler did not
even have copy Of the Bryan letter
in the hall, but the convention went
ahead and endorsed it. This gives
some idea of the extent to which But
Ter bOssed the convention"
The Post is entirely mistaken. The
convention did not act blindly when
it. endorsed Mr.. Bryan's letter to the
New York Journal in favor of COOP
GRAFTON. THE CAUcAsIAN had publish.
ed Mr.. Brayan's letter in four success
sive issues and it had been read by
every delegate In the POpulist State
Convention. 1t is the Post tina: is ig.
nOrant Of the contents of Mr.. Bryan's
letter, and that therefore thinks that
all others are ignorant of its contents
1t is noticeable that the Post, which
claims to be q Democratic paper, hat
never published Mr.. Bryan's letter. II
is true that il the readers of the Pos,
were to vote to endorse or condemn
Mr.. Bryan's letter that it's readers
would surely act blindly and be "boss
ed" by the Post. Populists have acte(
with their eyes open and in good faith
but for the benefit of such Democrat
as the Post has kept in ignorance, TIL
CAUCASIAN will republish Mr.. Bryan
letter.

From News and Observer, May 24th,]

There were many expr essions like
this: The troops were ordered to
march on Friday. and Lieutenant
Marshall had made arrangements
for carrying the troops in three Sec
tons, one by the Atlantic Coast Line,
one by the Southern ard one
by the Seaboard Air Line.
After packing they were kept in I'M
c. mf rtable quarters for two days.
It turned out Saturday night that all
delay resulting in the inconvenience
was for the purpose of letting the
Southern Railway gobble up the
whole business.
"Why mott Didn t it give $3.50, 900
over to help elect Mckinley while
the other roads were attending to
their legitimate railroad business9
What is the comfort of soldiers, the
good effects of competition, when
compared with big campaign fund.-
Hanna must give the carrying to the
road that helped him out in the
campaign"
That was the sort of talk that was
on many tongues yesterday. People
do not like monopolies. They thought
it looked bad, after making an agree
ment to send all the troops via these
routes, to keep them in discom-
fort two or three days, to give
all the business to one road. And
they said so yesterday in plain
terms about the bulletin board and
their places Of business.
The question of responsibility. and
damages was freely discussed.
"a head end collision itself fixes
the responsibility so far as a pas
senger is concerned" said one prom
inent lawyer, "but now,' he con.
tinued, "you will hear of the rail.
road taking the ground that Barbee
and Colclough and the others in
jured were not passengers at all
that the railroad had no contrac,
with them individually, but wa.
merely hauling them under contract
with the government like so mucl
freight, and that, therefore, they ar,
responsible, Eif responsible at all
only to the government, and not t,
the wounded men themselves, nor t,
tho personal representative of II,
deceased, Private Barbee."

THE TOBACCO TAX.

The proposed tax of Is cts, per
pound on tobacco will be reduced to
IL cts. This il matter of vital inter-
est to the people Of North Carolina.
A12 cent tax is just double what the
present tax is. 1t is hardly fair to
put q tax of even IL cents on tobacco
to raise revenue for the war, for the
tax falls largely on . few States. But
our people had not complained Ut
doubling the tax, but it would have
been an outrage to have increased the
tax to 16 cents. It is Understood that
few large tobacco concerns, including
the Tobacco Trust, wanted the. tax put
to l6 cents. They wanted . 16 cent
tax because it would be one effective
means OF crushing out Of existence the
small manufacturers who are their
competitors.

of the military train with q special
freight train on the Florida and Pc

The collision occurred near Bur

suit Of Admiral Cervera.
And still there is no news Of an en-.
gagement between our Flying or
Fighting Squadron and the elusive
Spanish fleet. The Navy Department
is mOmentarily expecting tidings Of
battle. Commodore Schley 10 believed
to be in the nsignborhOOd of the Wind
ward Passage or of Santiago de Cuba,
and unless the Spaniards hastened to
Porto Rico or returned to Martinique
the conflict cannot long be deferred.
There is q possib lily, of course, that
the fleet has given our scouting ships
the slip and sailed nOrthward, with .
view to attacking some Atlantic Coast
city, but this theory is not generally
entertained.
The army waits upon the navy.
While admiral Sampson and Commo-
dore Scbley are pursuing Admiral
Cervera-apparently without success,
upto this time-our land forces at
TAMPA, we'll equipped and eager for
action, are held in readiness to em-
bark on transport and 90 to Cuba as
soon As the navy can furnish conveys.
One expedition of Cuban volunteers,
recruited 10 Florida, was successfully
transported last week Others will
follow when the navy can lend its CO.
operation. Twenty-Five thousand men
have been assembled at Tampa, New
Orleans and Mobile, and can be moved
at moments notice. The transports
are being retained under expensive
charters and the steam Is ready in
their boilers. According to the pres
ent programme the army will be land
ed in sections. The thirty transports
which have been secured will carry at
least twenty-five thousand men, and
when this number has been conveyed
to the Cuban coast, the transports will
return for the volunteers, who will in
the meantime have been moved
down from Chickamauga to the
seaport towns for embarkatiOn. All
arrangements have been made fol
landing troops on Cuban soil
although the date and place are, Of
course, profound secret. The army
will move just as soon as the naval au
th0rities can supply the necessary
ships to protect the transports en- route
and aid by heavy guns in effcctipg f!
landing for the troops.
The Navy Department. denies the re
port that the Oregon has reached Key
West, but repeats the assurance tina
the big battle-ship is safe. Dispatche
have been received in Washington b,
relatives of officers aboard the Oregon
confirming the Official advices a. to be
safety. She will join Admiral Samp
sons squadron, if she has not alread,
