ITOR Jl JLILJL VOL. XXXVIL NO. 193. RALEIGH, N. C, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1897. $4.01) PER YEA U. nri:irnTn via CALHOUN RETURNS. Says Ruii Slot a Foul Death and no End of War In Sight. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Nsw York, June 7. Special com missioner W. J. Calhoun, who was sent to Cuba to investigate the death of Ruiz, arrived this morning. His mission in the matter was ajailure so far as securing proper testimony was concerned. Important witnesses were not produced and examined. They dared not tell the truth. They bad been coached in their testimony. Ponsdeviele, under whose orders Ruiz was murdered, did not appear. His whereabouts are unknown to the commission. Ruiz's cell was suspi ciously cleared when the commission arrived. The attendants were laugh ably polite to the unfortunate pris oners. He is satisfied Ruiz met a violent death and says no end of the war is in sight, -though the Span iards tried to make the impression it was over. The Cuban's expressed great confidence and determination to carry the fight to an end. He vis ited a number of American prisoners and found all well treated. Very few native Americans were in actual want. DOUBLE TRAGEDY A Washington Attorney Shoots Ills Steno grapher and Himself. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Washington, June 7. Charles E Barber, a-prominent patentattorney here shot his former stenographer, Miss Dorothy Squires this morning and then shot and killed himself. It is thought Miss Squires willrecover. Can Wc Coino In, Please In the Sunday's issue of theNews and Observer appeared an article headed "Poverty at the Pen. " To ward the close of this elevating dia lect production the author refers to the undersigned as a "foreigner." Recently a resident of Raleigh aired his grievances on this point in the defunct Tribune. Evidently in the opinion of these gentlemen it must be a crime or against the constitu tion for a man from another state or country to enter North Carolina and the city of Raleigh in particular witha view to taking up apermanent residence and becoming a citizen thereof. This writer has always thought that it was the aim and desire of the state and municipalities to encourage immigration with a view to the up building of towns in the state. So far as this writer is concerned it does not trouble him in the least that the political narrowness of the authors, above referred to, should endeavor to make capital on the plea that he is not a native born, nor are these lines written as a defense thereof but would respectfully, call their attention to the fact that if it is a crime, or again -t the constitution of this com monwealth for an outsider to take up his residence and transfer his citizenship to North Carolina then they had better employ their pCn in the proper direction, i. e., impress upon the public spirited citizen of Raleigh acd the state to stop adver tising the advantages and resources that we possess outside of the state as we will be in danger of peoplo from other sections and countries flocking in here and becoming citizens of North Carolina. And also on the other hand warn intending settlers that if they come within the borders of North Carolina or to the capital oity that they will be guilty of trespass. Permission however will be granted if proper application is made to the ' I am-not-in-it" writer, and countersigned by the "Stato saver." R. C. Rivers. Weather Conditions. Fair weather is predicted for Ral eigh and vicinity tonight and Tues day. Rain is predicted in the State with clearing weather Tuesday. The barometer is quite high on the north Atlantic coast and also in the west. Prom the Lake region down to the Gulf extends a slight barometric deprSssion. ' These conditions cause cool eas terly winds, with cloudy, threaten ing weather over the eastern states. Tho temperature is quite low every where except on the south Atlantic and Gulf coasts. In the northwest frost is reported, at Bismarck, Hu ron and St. Paul. The weather is generally clear in the west. The state superintendent public instruction has decided to hold teachers' Institutes in numbers of counties in the next ninety days, and to employ some of the ablest educators In the state to conduct them. : IS No Change in Cabinet Or Policy Towards Cuba. WEYLER TO REMAIN President Mcuinley. It is Said. Will lie. mand that the War Stop-Favors the Independence of Cuba New Policy. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Washington, June 7. The news that the Queen Regent has decided to retain Premier Canovas has creat ed no surprise, and that he assumes power without a change of cabinet is unexpected. General Weyler will remain in Cuba. There will be no change in policy unless Canovas an ticipates a change of policy. Cer tainly fresh troubles are ahead that may assume a high and dangerous proportion, if he proposes to ad here to his former lines. The situa tion in Cuba will continue to drag and the same uncompromising nego tiations are out of the question from the standpoint of the rebellion. The decision of the Queen Regent will be in its favor as far as its effects on the United States are concerned. It is now stated by friends of the administration that President Mc Kinley will soon forward a note to Spain demanding that the war in Cuba must stop. It will offer media tion to Spain on the basis of the in dependence of Cubaand the payment of a suitable indemnity. Tho rejec tion of this friendly otTor will be sharply followed by a message to Congress. Ms Hallway Peul- By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Chicauo, June 7. A trans-con tinental railroad, from tidewater to tidewater, is the gigantic enterprise which was set in motion when $30,- 000 was paid at Springfield for the incorporation of a company with a capital stock of 130,000,000. The Baltimore and Ohio, the Wis consin Uentral, the (Jhicago ana Northern Pacific and the Northern Pacific eystems figure in the great undertaking. By a consolidation of these, their branches and connec tions, will be produced the new sys tem, one end of which will touch the Atlantic, theotherthe Pacific. The headquarters of the system will be located in Chicago. The chief promoter and the man who has carried this gigantic plan to a successful issue is William Allen Butler of Yonkers, N. Y. Associat ed with him are Edward Adams of the Northern Pacific and F. T. Gates of Montclair, N. J. Mr. Gates represents the Rockefellers, the Standard Oil corporation being largely interested in the undertak ing. Ambassador Hay the Guest. By Cable to the Press-Visitor. London, June 7. United States ambassador Hay will spend the Whitsentide holidays as the guest of Ferdinand James De Rothschild at Waddesdan Manor, near Doyles- bury. The Advcrtslng Contest. Mr. W. E. Jones, who offered two pretty hats to the two ladies who should write the best two advertise ments in the Press-Visitor, author ises us to state that the two ladies to whom the numbers selected by the committee correspond are Mrs. John W. Jones and Miss Katie Duffy. Through a mistake Mrs. Jone's ad vertisement, which won the first prize, was numbered 26 when it should have been No. 24. This was the advertisement to which the com mittee awarded the first prize and the name of Mrs. Jones was the name which should properly have corre sponded to it. The committee de cided the contest upon the merits of the advartisements, without know ing the names of the contestants, and reported to Mr. Jones the suc cessful numbers, which were 26 and 20, and No. 26 as it appeared as written by Mrs, Jno. W. Jones. Last Notice. Tabernacle excursion trains leave at 6 o'clock sharp in the morning. Every arrangement has been per fected for a great trip.

Miss Annie Wyatt of Durham is in the city visiting relatives. IT WON'T BE JIM YOUNG That is Raleigh's next Postmaster - Ahiint the Marshalship. Mr J B Hill has returned from Washington, D. C. Though it has been definitely decided that Mr II C Dockery is to be appointed marshal of the district, it is understood that Mr Hill is to be given substantial recognition at the hands of the ad ministration. Jim Young sailed in from Wash ington yesterday and from all re ports Jim learned positively that he will cot be Raleigh 's next postmaster, Jim says he, in company with Re corder Cheatham, made a pleasant call on the President, but that the post-office was not discussed. The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch said in Sun day's issue:- "According to visiting North Carolina republicans, the republican party in that state has reached the st'ge of disintegration. The dis position of the Raleigh and Char lotte post-offices seems to have brought about the culmination. .Jim Young, a "sable statesman," of un savory reputation, claims a mortgage on the Raleigh office, on account of services rendered in the last sena torial election in the state. He was a member of the legislature, and voted for Pritchard. with the dis tinct assurance, he says, of the ap pointment of postmaster at Raleigh. He is now an adherent of the Russell faction of the party, and therein lies the explintion of his failure to fore close his mortgage. After talking with Senator Pritchard and Chair man Holton, he left for Raleigh, with the understanding that he is "not in it." He threatens to got even with the "Washington ring," ami hence forth ,wiil make ope'i war on tbe regular organization. The appointment of United States Marshal for the Eistern District is still undecided. Marshal Carroll's term expires in January, 1S9S, but on account of alleged official dere lictions, the Department of Justice will either demand his resignation, or will remove him. Solictor-Gener-al Holmes Conrad, it is said, insists upon immediate removal, but no dis position of the matter will be made until the report of the attorney is received. The charge against Mr. Carroll is an old one, and was in vestigated a year or more ago, and some surprise is expressed that it should be revived and his removal demanded just at this time. Mr. H, C. Dockery, who, it is understood, will succeed Mr. Carroll, is here, but is not understood to be taking any hand in the effort to remove the latter. Prominent Republicans from the State do not approve of the seemingly hastv action in the mat ter, and they will ask the t ttorney General to delay it. Late information is to the effect that Senator Pritchard saw the At-1 torney-General today in connection with the Carroll matter, and it goes over at his request until Monday. From intimations, itappearsthat the Attorney-General agrees wr,b soli citor-General Conrad in regard to the matter. Prof. James J Britt, of Bakers- ville, principal of Bowman Academy, county examiner and trustee of the A & M college, is in the city to day.

THE SHADOWS WE CAST' Subject of a Forceful Sermon by Dr. Hoge to A. & M. Graduates. The baccalaureate sermon at the A. & M. College last evening was a gem of its kind, ornate, appropriate and powerful. The utterly unpre tentious manner of the distinguished minister was very becoming. His subject was "The Shadows we Cast." His text was taken from the account of the peoplethrowing them selves in Peter's shadow as he went to the Temple. The unseen and un heard voices are greatest. I n science, gravity; in life, motherhood; in the affairs of men, example. What kind of shadows shall you cast young men; shall they be baleful or healing? It depends upon your re ligion. There is but one name whereby men must be saved, Jesus Christ the Righteous. The audience was charmed. There were present great numbers from the city. The singing was excellent. The hall was appropriately deco rated . "Rock of ages was spl ntlitlly rendered by a quartette composed of Messrs. Wharton, Overton, lim ner and Mitchell.

Mr. Snyder's address before the General Assembly at Charlotte was very highly complimented. MANY WERE DRUNK Mayor Kuss Sent Stokes und Three Other Offenders to the Roads. This was the heaviest day Mayor Russ has had since he began his second administration. Judging from the number of drunks before his houor, a very mean quality ol liquor was dispensed somewhere in the city Saturday evening. A smile flitted over the many faces in the court room when Stokes Crump, the oft-times offender and public road promoter, stepped forward to receive the judgmeut of the court. Stokes places a small value on liberty. Two weeks ago he returned to the city after thirty well spenfcwdavs abroad. Saturday the veteran offender tanked up and when an officer went to arrest him he fought like a demon. This even ing Stokes began a thirty days engagement witk Mr McMackin. Samuel Keith got drunk and re sisted an officer and the mayor gave him thirty days on the roads. Amos Farmer took on a heavy quantity of juice, conducive to loud talking. N Furnell ditto. Both were sent to the roads for thirty days each . It cost Nathan Dixon $3.25 for engaging in an assault. Several other cases were tried, but were dismissed for lack of evidence TODAY'S MARKETS.
