TO-DAY’S SCHEDULE.
Wilmington at Raleigh.
Durham at Greensboro.
New. Bern at Charlotte.
And Wilmington won.
Comment on such an unheard of pro
ceeding seems superfluous.
The very idea of Wilmington thinking
of wimining, much less winnning.
After the game the players of the Sea
Gull covey were going about pinching
themselves to see if they were them
thev.
And they wore surely they.
While they were they, Raleigh was li
lt took just ten minutes less than two
hours for Wilmington to gather in five
runs, while Raleigh was embracing four.
The game had some vim and go to it
at times, and a strong wave of enthus
iasm would sweek through the audience.
Raleigh went into the game with the
idea that it was a dead easy thing and
tcok it easy.
So easy in fact, that Roy, with a game
log, was put in centre field. Two flies
that came his way could have been
readied if his underpinning had been
all right, or if whoever was running the
Raleigh end of the game had put a whole
bodied man there.
Incidentally the umpire added gayet.v
to the occasion and alternately presented
great swabs of gloom to the opposing
teams. Umpire Mace having resigned
his position to capttain and manage the
Wilmington team, and being North seek
ing players. President Busbee appointed
Mr. Robert Little, of Raleigh, to um
pire. Mr. Little was conscientious, but
as viewed from the press box and from
spectator’s eyes, he fell down several
times at the bat on balls batted, and on
base runners. It is a toss up as to which
side got the worst of it and he kept the
players guessing.
The game alternately belonged to one
team and then the other. Neither really
deserved it, and either ought to have
won. Not but what there was some gilt
edge hall. Smith, of Raleigh, was there
with four times up and four hits, one a
three bagger. Then there was three
double plays n which Pastor and Soffel
did star work.
Uishor. the catcher for Wilmington, is
a fine back stop and did rather good
work. Holland, who was up three times
is credited with four hits. DommeU got
two, one of them a two bagger.
Sweeney pitched good ball, but weak
ened some when his short stop. Lattin,
made two ghastly errors. He had the
best of Leonard, for he struck out nine
men to Leonard’s five and gave only one
base on balls as against Leonard’s five,
yielding seven hits as against Leonard s
nine.
I*et us pause here to say that there
was joy in Wilmington last night-
The Wilmington team behaved itself
most creditably yesterday. There was
no kicking, and the boys from the sea
shore played ball. The absence of
growling in the game was very notice
able.
In its first, which a double ended
Wilmington after Holland had reached
first on a hit. In Raleigh’s half, with
two down. Smith swatted a three bag’-
ger in left and scored when Lattin de
veloped brittle fingers and let an easy
one from Farrell get away.
In the second Wilmington tied the
score. Dommell led with a two bagger,
Fisher fanned. Hatton died from second
to first, and Doanmell, who had reached
second, scored on Handeboe s hit in left,
Handeboe died at second when Lattin
batted to Soffel.
In Raleigh's half there was nothing do
ing. In the third for Wilmington Sween
ey uied. second to first, Mattliewson
singled in centre and Holland in the
same place. Roy threw to third and the
ball passed Hook. Both he and Smith
rushed for it and Matthewson scored-
Dommell hit in centre and Holland
scored- Fisher died on a fly to left. In
its half Raleigh took one. With 'two
down Smith singled in right. Farrell ad
\anccd him when he was hit by the
ball and he scored when Traeger Hit in
left, though Traeger was caught gping
tc second trying to draw the ball to let
Farrell get home.
There was nothing doing for either
team in the fourth, nor fifth for Wil
mington. In Raleigh’s half, after Leon
ard walked, advanced on Pastor’s sacri
fice, Soffel went out, short to first and
Leonard scored on Smith’s hit in left.
Farrell flew to short.
The score was tied and Wilmington
drew a blank in the sixth, while Raleigh
got a run, Traeger fanned, Roy singled,
Hook reached first on Lattin’s fumble.
Davis batted to short and Hook was
caught, but a bad throw to first for a
double let Roy score. Leonard fanned
ard Raleigh led Tyf a run, but never
scored again.
In Wilminton’s seventh Lattin walked,
Sweeney fanned, but Smith dropped the
ball and held it too long to retire Sween
ey at first, Matthewson batted to Hook,
who tried to catch Lattin at the plate,
but Smith dropped the ball and Lattin
scored. With two on the bags the next
three failed to see first and the score
was tied.
In the ninth Sweeney reached second
when Hook let the ball get away. Mat
thewson was out, short to first, and
Sweeney advanced, Holland hit in right
and Sweeney scored. McGinnis flew to
Hook, Dommell walked and Fisher went
out on a foul to Smith.
In its half Raleigh failed to score.
Leonard was out, Lattin to Dommel, Pas
tor had his third strike, which looked
like a ball called and Soffel died from
short to first.
Then the Wilmingtonians hugged
themselves.

London, June 2.—The demand for ac

His Excellency Lord Milner, in behalf

ing in behalf of the Orange Free State,
and General Schalk-Burgar, General

Delarey, acting in behlaf of their re
spective burghers, desiring to terminate
the present hostilities, agree to the fol
lowing terms:
The burgher forces in the field will
forthwith lay down their arms and hand
over all guns, rifles and ammunitions of
war in their possession, or under their
control, and desist from further resist
ance and acknowledge King Edward VII
as their lawful sovereign.
The manner and details of this sur
render will be- arranged between Lord
Kitchener and Commandant General
Botha, assisted by General Delarey and
Chief Commandant DeWet.
“Second, all burghers outside the limrts
of the Transvaal and Orange River
Colony, and all prisoners of war at
present outside South Africa, who are
burghers, will, on duly declaring their ac
ceptance of the position of subjects of
His Majesty, be brought back to their
homes as soon as means of transport can
be provided and means of subsistence
assured.
“Third. The burghers so returning will
not be deprived of their personal liberty
or propert.
“Fourth. No proceeding, civil or crim
inal, will be taken against any burghers
surrendering, or so returning, for any
acts ir connection with prosecution of
the war The benefits of this clause
don’t extend to certain acts contrary to
the usages of war which had been noti
fied by the commander-in-chief to the
Boer Generals, and which shall be tried
by court martial after the close of hos
tilities.
“Fifth. The Dutch language will be
taught in the public schools of the
Transvaal and Orange River Colony,
where parents desire it, and will be al
lowed in the courts of law, for the better
and more effectual administration of jus
tice.
“Sixth. Possession of rifles will be
allowed in the Transvaal and Orange
River Colony and military government
will, at the earliest possible date, be
succeeded by a civil government, and so
soon as circumstances permit, represen
tative institutions. leading up to self

“Eighth. The question of granting the
franchise to natives will not bo decided
until the introduction of self-government.
“Ninth. No special tax will be im
posed on landed property in the Trans
vaal or Orange River Colony to defray

“Tenth. As soon as the conditions per
mit a commission, on w r hich the local in
habitants will be represented, will be ap
pointed ! n each district, a Transvaal and
Orange River Colony, under the presi
dency of a magistrate or other official,
for the purpose of assisting in the res
toration of the people to their homes, and
supplying those, who, owing to war
losses, are unable to provide for them
selves, with food and shelter, and the
necessary amount of seed, stock and
implements, etc., indispensable to the
resumption of their moral occupation
His Majesty’s government will place at
the disposal of these commissions the
sum of three million pounds sterling and
will allow all the notes issued under
the law of 1900 on the South African Re
public, and all receipts given up to of
ficers in the field of the late Republics,
or under their orders, to be presented to
a judicial commission, which will be ap
pointed ny the Government, and if such
notes and receipts are found by this
commission to have been duly issued in
return for valuable considerations they
will be received by the first named com
mission as evidence of war losses suf
fered by the persons to which they were
originally given.
“In addition to the above named free
grant of three million pounds sterling.
His Majesty’s government will be pre
pared to make advances, on loan, for the
same purposes, free of interest for two
years and afterward repayable, over a
period of years with three per cent in
terest. No foreigner or rebel will be
entitled to benefit under this clause.
After he had concluded reading the
peace agreement, Mr. Balfour proceeded:
“There are certain important points
not dealt with in the document I have
just read, and which was signed on Sat-
urday night. Therefore, it may be con
venient if I read a dispatch from Lord
Kitchener to the Secretary of State for
War, dated May 30, as follows:
“ ‘After handing the Boer delegates
a copy of the draft of the agreement, I
read them a statement and gave them a
copy of it, as follows:
“ ‘His Majesty’s Government must
place on record that the treatment of the
Cope and Natal colonies who have been
in rebellion, and who now’ surrender,
will, if they return to their colonies, be
determined by the Colonial courts and in
accordance with the laws of the colonies,
and any British subjects who have joined
the enemy will be liable to trial under
the law of that part of the British em
pire to which they belong.
“ ‘His Majesty's Government are in
formed by the Cape Government that their
views regarding the terms to be granted
to British subjects in Cape Colony, now
in the field, or who have surrendered or
been captured since April 12, 1901, are
as follows: With regard to the rank
and file, they should all, after surrender
and giving up their arms, sign a docu
ment, before the resident magistrate of
the district in which they surrender,
acknowledging themselves guilty of high
treason, and the punishment to be ac
corded them, provided they are not
guilty of murder or acts contrary to the
usages of civilized warfare, shall be that
they are not entitled, for life, to be
registered as voters, or vote in any par
liamentary or provincial council or
municipal election.
“ ‘With reference to justices of the
peace, field cornets and all others who j
hold official positions under the govern
ment of Cape Colony, or who have been
occupying a position of authority or
who have held commands in the rebel or !
burgher forces, they shall be tried for I
high treason before the ordinary courtsj
of the country, or suoh special courts as 1
may hereafter be constituted, their pun- I
lshmont to be left *o the discretion of
such court, with the proviso that in no '
case shall the penalty of death be in- i
flicted.
“ The Natal Government are of the
opiuion that rebels should be dealt with
according to the law of that colony.
“ ‘These arrangements,’ concluded Mr. |
Balfour, the government have ap- 1
proved.’ ’’
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
Liberal leader, in behalf of opposition, j
said unbounded satisfaction would be felt
throughout the empire at the conclusion i
of peace. They were unanimous in ad
miration of their late enemies, now their
friends and fellow-citizens, whose mili
tary qualities, tenacity of purpose and
self-sacrificing devotion to liberty and
country, had won them the respect of
the whole world, and, foremost of all, !
the respect of their opponents. Every
member would offer congratulations to j
the King and so the country, on the de- ■
sirable restoration of peace.
Mr. Balfour having announced that the
government would take an early oppor
tunity of moving a vote of thanks to
Lord Kitchener and the forces in South
Africa, the members of the House of
Commons returned, to their ordinary
avocations.

Resolution Thanking Hay Meits
with Some Opposition.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washinugton, June 2. —Little interest,
either on the floor or in the galleries,
was manifested in the Senate debate on
the Philippine Government Bill today
under the fifteen minute rule. At ttwo
or three stages it almost died of inani
mation. Senators seemed little inclined
to avail themselves of the opportunity
to discuss the measure thus briefly and
thee were few utterances of special note.
Mr. Mason (Ills.) In a vigorous speech
differed from the majority in the treat
ment proposed for the Filipinos. Ho
urged that no reason existed for accord
ing to them a treatment different from
that accorded to the Cubans and strongly
advised that they be afforded the right
to exercise the right to govern them
selves. He said he would not have voted
for the Paris treaty, but for the open
understanding among Senators that the
Filipinos were to be given their inde
pendence as soon as they were ready
for it.
“I have faith in the ultimate liberty of
mankind, “concluded Mr. Mason. “ may
not come in your day or mine, but some
day not only the people here in the
mother republic, but all over the world,
in Cuba, South Africa, aye in the
Philippines, will be free."’
Other Senators who spoke today were
Mr. Hoar, Mr. Foraker, Mr. Cullom, Mr.
Bacon, Mr. Patterson. Mr. Teller, Mr.
Carmack and Mr. Proctor.
Mr. Bacon (Georgia) spoke against the
bill. After exhausting thirty minutes of
time by unanimous consent chiefly in
having read documents and extracts, from
books, Mr. Bacon yielded the floor. An
awkward pause ensued, nobody being
ready to proceed with the discussion. A
suggestion that some other business be
taken up met with objection; and after
further delay, Mr. Bacon resumed his
remarks.
Mr. Hoar after reviewing the situation
in the Philippines and referring to the
outrages which had been committed,
said:
“I don't charge these things upon the
army. I charge them upon Imperialism.’'
Early in the session some amendments
were made to the bill by the Philip
pine Committee, the most important of
which related to the disposition of the
public lands in the islands.
Thanks to Secretary Hay.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 2. —The House today,
by a vote of 129 to 46, suspended the
rules and adopted the joint resolution
extending the thanks of Congress to
Secretary of State John Hay for his ad-*
dress upon the occasion of the McKinley
memorial exercises last February.
Unanimous consent for the consideration
of this resolution was objected to by Mr.
DeArmond (Mo.) some time ago and to
day Mr. Clark (Mo.) made a twenty
minute speech in opposition to its adop
tion on the ground that Mr. Hay had
abused the occasion by injecting a “Re
publican stump speech 1 ’ Into the address.
General Hooker (Miss.), a one-armed
armed Confederate veteran delivered an
eloquent defense of Mr. Hay's address,
denying that it contained anything that
! was objectionable from a political stand
point, and Mr. Grosvenor, (Ohio) who
v\as in charge of the resolution, argued
that Mr. Hay in eulogizing the martyred
President, could not divorce the man
from his achievements and his record as
a manly partisan. Only forty-six Demo
crats voted with Mr. Clark against the
esolution, as follows:
Adamson, Georgia; Bell, Texas; Bart
lett, Georgia; Bowie, Alabama; Brantley,
Georgia; Brundicoge, Arkansas; Burgess,
Texas; Burleson, Texas; Burnett, Ala
