THE RIGHT KIND OF MEN.

The elections on Monday to estab-
fish graded schools and to issue bonds
to increase the facilities of those al
ready established were of far-reaching
Importance. They were not won eN-
cept by the active work of progressive
men in all the communities.
The three towns where the contest
was the hottest were Durham, Wash
ington and Kinston. At DURHAM. Col.
Julian S. Carr. chairman OF the school
board. led the fight, and at noon,
when it was doubtful whether suffi-
cient number would vote to secure
the bonds, went to the schools and
asked the children to see their parents
and urge theimportance of their vot-
ing. That plan succeeded.
In Kinston, the Kinston Free Press
(if there's better paper in the State
it does not come to this office) led the
fight. and Hon. Charles B. Aycock, of
Goldsboro, made telling and able
speech that did much to carry the tax
levy. i
In Washington, the fight was led by
Hon. John III. Small, Congressman
elect, who was ably seconded by the
Washington Messenger.
DR.. Alderman, DIR. McIver. Superin-
tendentaMebane, Editor j. Va. Bailey,
Prof. p. p. Claxton, Prof. NJ. c. S.
Noble and other leaders of thought

the fight in Washington, this week S
Biblical Recorder pays Mr.. Small a
deserved compliment, which we are
glad to copy and endorse. We quote:
in the face of opposition, running
counter to strong prejudices, man
with popularity to lose, who is able to
educate his children privately, who
has no selfish motive whatever to
shape his course, Mr.. John III. Small
has led his fellow-citizens for this
special tax, ardently and courageous
ly without counting the cost. He has
gone deep into his pocket to supply
funds to bring advocates of the mea-
sure to the town; he has given just
as literally of his time and energies.
We do not wonder that Washington
people cheer his name. We have no
fear in saying that they will learn to
cheer it ever and more heartily. Mr..
Small is Congressman from his dis
trict. He is young man. His loyal
ty to right measures, his advocacy OF
popular education, his fine devotion to
his beliefs has made him a leader OF
that section. He has chosen wisely
and well. North Carolina needs a
hundred young men like him. There
is room for one like him in every
town, aye. there is room at the top;
there are honors awaiting those who
will follow his example. 1t was far
from his purpose, but he is proving
that earnest and energetic leadership
for education. even in local taxation.
helps rather than binders progress in
public life"
This is true of Mr.. Small and also
true of the other men in the other
communities who stood earnestly for
the fullest development of public edu-
cation in their communities.

statement:

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-Governor
Brady of Alaska and George Bracket
of Minneapolis, the latter largely inter-
ested in railroad enterprise in Alaska,
were to-day interviewing American
members of the High Joint Commission
regarding Alaskan interests. A report
has been in circulation that in consider
ing the Alaskan boundary the British
members of the commission had in
sisted that the Lynn canal should be
considered within the Canadian lines
and that there should be an all-Cana-
dian port, presumably Skaguay, con-
coded by the United States. Both Gov
ernor Brady and Mr.. Bracket pro-
tested against this proposition.
Under the treaty of cession it was
provided that whenever the summit of
the mountains which extend in a direc-
ton parallel to the coast from the 56th
degree of north latitude to the 141st de-
gree of west longitude shall prove to
be at the distance of more than ten ma
rine leagues from the ocean, the limit
between the British and American pos
sessions shall be formed by the line
parallel to the winding of the coast,
and which shall never exceed the dis
lance of ten marine leagues therefrom.
The British commissioners at first
took the ground that the coast line
was determined by the island which, of
course would have given them posses
sion of the mainland at almost all
points. They have abandoned that the
Dry, but have made a new claim re-
garding the headwaters of the Lynn
canal. This large estuary divides into
what are known as the Chilkoot and
Chilkat inlets, twenty-five or thirty
miles south of Skaguay.
The subcommittee apparently favors
the point of division as the head of the
coast line. If this theory is agreed to,
it would put the boundary line just
about on the shelf of land where
the city of Skaguay is located and
would apparently put Dyea in Cana
dian territory entirely.
1t is believed to be the purpose of the
subcommittee to put the landing place
itself barely within American territory,
so as to permit of the establishment Of
a custom house. but giving. to the Ca
nadians the real city itself, with it's
warehouses and other facilities for be-
ginning the march to the Klondike.
The full commission has not acted
yet, but from the fact that the sub
committee has agreed it must be I'M
derstood the forthcoming treaty, while
adopting the American theory of the
boundary line, will limit the location of
the interior in such a way as to be IA
vorable to the Canadians and bring
their boundary line from the northwest
of the White and Chilkoot passes down
to the mouth of the river.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a Washington
special to the Herald says: To insure
submission to the Senate of an un-
biased report relative to the promotion
of Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley,
Secretary Long has assembled board
of naval officers to carefully examine
all records and obtain facts bearing
upon the conduct of both officers during
the war with Spain.
This board consists of Captain r. D.
Evans, who commanded the battleship
Iowa in the Santiago battle; Captain
H. c. Taylor, who was in command of
the battleship Indiana; Lieutenant w.
j. Sears, who was Schley's flag lieuten-
ant, and Ensign H. H. Ward. assistant
to Captain Crowninshield, chief of the
Bureau of Navigation. Captain Evans
was attached to the flying squadron
which left Hampton Roads under COM
mand of Commodore Schley and which
proceeded to Cienfuegos and finally to
Santiago, Captain Taylor was attach
ed to Rear Admiral Simpsons COM
mand in front of Havana during the
anxious days when the whereabouts of
Cervera's squadron was unknown, and
went to Santiago in command of the
fleet which conveyed General Skaters
army. Lieutenant Sears is regarded as
Rear Admiral Schley's direct represen-
tative, as he was a member OF his staff
during the entire time Schley was
afloat.
Ward was not connected with either
squadron, his duty having been of a
secret nature, and calling him to Porto
Rico Secretary Long believes the re-
port of the board will bear out the
action of the President. 1t is expected
that the board will be engaged several
DAYS in its work.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The House
Commerce to-day decided to give a
favorable report on the Hepburn Mica
ragua canal bill, with its amendments,
as a substitute for the Morgan bill,
passed by the Senate.
The essential features of the bill as
reported are that it authorizes the
President of the United States to ac-
quire by purchase from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica the territory necessary to
build the canal, and to proceed with
the construction of the canal. One
hundred and fifteen million dollars are
appropriated for the completion of the
work authorized. The changes made in
the original Hepburn bill are in reduc-
ing the appropriation from S140,000,O00
to $115, 600, 900; striking out the proVi-
sion for the acquisition of full owner
ship, jurisdiction and sovereignty over
the route, and in adding civil engineers
from the navy and civil life to those
of the army for the purpose of making
surveys, etc.
When the subject was taken up at the
meeting of the Commerce Committee
to-day it was first determined that
Chairman Hepburn's bill should be re-
ported, as embodying the sense of the
committee. The main question was to
expedite the legislation. For this pur-
pose Mr.. Lowering of Massachusetts
moved that all after the enacting clause
of the Morgan bill be struck out and
the Hepburn bill substituted. This was
approved and the substituted bill was
then changed in some particulars.
On motion of Mr.. Barham of Cali
fornia the requirement for full owner
ship and sovereignty over the route was
struck out.
An amendment by Mr.. Sherman of
New York authorizing the President to
negotiate with private companies or as
sociations for concessions, rights, etc.
was defeated. Mr.. Hinrichson of ILL.,
nois secured the adoption of an amend
ment reducing the total appropriation
from STAG, 0O0,0 600 to $4,000, 900. AS thus
amended the sub-bill was agreed to by
practically unanimous vote and Mr.
Hepburn was directed to make the re-
port to the House.
When reported the bill will have the
parliamentary status of Senate bill
so that if the substance is agreed tC
the subject will go to a conference COM
mittee and the final results be eXpe-
dited. Chairman Hepburn says the re-
port will be filed on Monday. His plan
is to ask the Committee on Rules for q
day to consider the measure. This is
not likely to be next week, as many
other measures are pressing attention
and are regarded as having priority

make a minority report. On the ques-
ton of taking into consideration the
