Washington, June 17. —Tbroughtout to day’s session of the Senate the Isthmian Canal question was under consideration. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Per kins, of California; Gallinger, of New Hampshire; Stewart, of Nevada, and Morgan, of Alabama. Ail advocated the adoption of the Nicaragua route, except Mr. Gallinger, who made a forceful argu ment in support of the Panama route, and who said his investigations con vinced him that the Panama route \\a3 the more healthful of the two. The arguments of the Senators in sup port of the Nicaragua route were made especially on the ground of feasibiliry and business wisdom. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Morgan both contended that the health conditions in Nicaragua were su perior to those in Panama. Mr. Morgan said there had been raised no “false cry’’ about the health condi tions in Panama. It had been shown by the experience of “all mankind” ihat 1 .mama was one of the most unhealthful places on the face of the globe. A remark made by Mr. Morgan was re garded as significant, as possibly fore shadowing the result of the vote on Thursday. Referring to the alleged wrong doing by the Panama Canal Com pany, he said: “The people believe it now; and when this substitute is passed they will know it.” Sills by the Judiciary Committee. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, June 17.—The House spent the day considering bills reported from the Judiciary Committee. By far the most important measure was that to amend the existing bankruptcy law. The minority made a vigorous effort to re peal the present law in toto but were overwhelmingly defeated—6s to 137. The bill passed amends the law in fifteen particulars to meet defects which ex perience has proven. The most im portant amendment is one to define pre ference to meet the Supreme Court de cision in the case of Pirie vs. The Chicago Title and Trust Company. Four addi tional grounds for refusing to discharge in bankruptcy also are added: First, ob taining property on credit on materially false amendments; second, making a fraudulent transfer of property; third, having been granted or denied a dis charge in bankruptcy within six years, and fourth, having refused to obey the order of the court or refusal to answer material questions approved by the court. Messrs. Clayton (Ala.) and DeArmoml (Mo.) opposed the bill, the former in tho calling tho present bankruptcy law a drastic and oppressive measure. An evening session was held for the con sideration of bills reported from tho In dian Committee. 1 he Spooner Reciprocity Bill. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, June 17.—The Republican members of the Senate Committee on Cuban Relations today finally agreed to the acceptance of the Spooner bill pro viding for the reciprocity with Cuba and decided to ask that a conference of Re publican Senators be called for tomor row night to consider its terms. This conclusion was reached at a meeting of the Republican members of the commit tee today- The text of the bill was made public. It is a substitute for the House bill and provides that when the Republic of Cuba shall have enacted preferential customs duties in our favor th«, duties levied upon Cuban exports to th« ■ United States shall be eighty per ceutum of the Dingley tariff for a period of five years. The bill provides that it shall be the duty of the President to thoroughly investigate whether the tariff concession provides for inures, so far as the articles of sugar and tobacco are concerned, to the benefit of the pro ducers o fsaid articles in Cuba, and if the President shall be satisfied from such investigation that the substantial benefit of such concession upon either of said articles is inuring to the purchasers thereof, individual or corporate in the United States. The original rate of duty shall be collected upon such ar ,kles - *<a.t Bartlett’s Resolution Favored. (By the Associated Press.) Washington. June 17.—The House Committee on Military Affairs today or-• dered a ftaxorable report on the resolu-j tion of Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, directing the Secretary of War to furnish the House information as to what amounts were paid by United States officers to Cuba to F. B. Thurber or other persons for advocating Cuban reciprocity. The action of the commit tee caused some surprise as a somewhat similar resolution was voted down about a week ago- The changei s said to have been influenced to some extent by the pending controversy of the Cuban re ciprocity bill. Representative Hay, of Virginia, called up the resolution and his motion ofr consideration prevailed, two Repub licans as well as three Democrats voting for it. All the Democrats and three Republi cans voted for the adoption of the reso lution, the others not voting.

An Address by Charles Francis Adams of Bos ton Delivered at the University of Chicago. (By the Associated Press.) Chicago, Ills., June 17. —Charles Francis Adams, of Boston, delivered the oration before the Phi Beta Kappa So ciety of the University of Chicago, to day, his subject being “Shall Cromwell have a Statue?” The changes in England’s attitude to ward Oliver Cromwell were described by the speaker as introductory to his an nouncement of the question which be called his text; “Shall Robert E. Dee have a statue?” In developing his argument the speak er referred to a principle which, he said, for generations Dee and his people had believed. In this connection authority was quoted to show that “The Union originally was compact, dissoluble, per haps most of them would have said, at pleasure. Dissoluble certainly on breach of the articles of the Union.” A description of the steps by which Virginia appoaclied the act of secession was given—and the speaker said: “Virginia did not take its place in the secession movement because of the elec tion of an anti-slavery President. She did not raise its hand against the Na tional Government for mere love of any TO BUILD THE GREATEST COTTON MILL ON EARTH The Cones Buy Sixteen Hundred Acres Near Greens boro to Carry Out Their Colossal In dustrial Scheme. • i (Special to thfc News dnd Observer.) Greensboro, N.

Virginia made State sovereignty a cardinal article of its po litical creed. To us now this position seems worse than illogical. Yet after all, it is based on the great fundamental principle of the consent of the governed.” “I hold it to be certain that the year 1965 will recognize the somewhat essen tial fact, indubitably true, that all the honest convictions, all the loyalty, all the patriotic devotion and the self sacri fice were not any more than all the courage on the victors’ side. “Lee represented, individualized, all that was highest and best in the Southern mind, and the Confederate cause, the iovalty to State, the keen sense of honor and personal obligation, the slightly archaic, the almost patriarchal, love of dependent 'family and home. “I look forward with confidence to the time when the bronze effigy of Robert E. Lee, mounted on his charger, and with the insigia of his Confederate rank, will from its pedestal in the Nation’s capitol look across the Potomac at his old home at Arlington. “When that time comes Lee’s monu ment will typify the historical apprecia tion of all that goes to make up the loftiest type of character, military and civic, exemplified in an opponent, once dreaded, but ever respected. “Above all it will symbolize and com memorate that loyal acceptance of the consequences of defeat and the patient upbuilding of a people under new condi tions by constitutional means, which I hold to be the greatest educational les son America has yet taught to a once skeptical but now silenced world.” Brown For Corporation Commissioner. To the Editor: I am just in receipt of the last report of the North Carolina Corporation Commission as to the con dition of the State, private and savings banks which I have carefully looked over, and find it to be the best gotten up business like record of the kind I have ever keen, which is due to the ef ficiency of Mr. H. C. Brown, clerk, and it seems to be that no stronger appeal could be made to the bankers of the State for their endorsement of Mr. Brown as Corporation Commissioner than in the efficient way he has ren dered from time to time statements of the associated banks of North Carolina. Every tree is known by its fruit, hence this thought suggests to me that we could make no better selection for this important position than that of Mr. H. C. Brown for Corporation Commis- sidhor to succeed Mr. D. H. Abbott, ho|e term expires this year. Very respectfully, W. J. BYERDV- Louisburg, N. C-, June 17, 1902. TO ASSABSINATE EDWARD.

II WAS IISPLIT DOUBLE HEADER Raleigh and Greensboro Di vide the Honors. CRACKING GOOD BALL The Gulls Again Collapse Before the Hornets. THE UMPIRE ONCE kOIE IN DISGRACE Durham is Shut Out by New Bjrn- Not a Run Made Until the Ninth inning. Stimhson Jumps His Contrac*, It was nip and tuck at both hall games in Raleigh yesterday. As a result Raleigh won the nip, while Greensboro took the tuck, the first by a score of one to nothing, while Greeqs boro’s share of the double-header game was by a score of four against two. Both games of hall wore corkers and were enough to liven up baseball en thusiasm. The only off-time was the first inning of the second game, when, because of a base on halls, an unexpect ed bound of tho ball from Soffle, a step ladder pitch by Roy and a hit that Treager added to by an error in which Hook later assisted, Greensboro corralled three runs. There was no disagreeable kicking. Umpire McNamara proved the best of the umpires seen here. He knows the game and its rules and delighted the specta tors yesterday. Deonard, for Raleigh, and Sugg, for Greensboro, were the slab artists in the first stanza of the two verse poem, both were in fine form. Pat Rollins, Raleigh's hack-stop, was superb, and if ho keeps up his lick will rival “Bill D,” in the affections of the x-ranks. Sullivan, for Greensboro, did excellent back-stop work. How Raleigh won the first game is an easy story. It was by one run, the only one scored in the game. It was an earned run and came in the third im.ing when Pastor came flying home on Rol lins’ hit in centre. Pastor was first up : in the inning and hit a clean single in left. Soffie bunted beautifully along the line to first, sacrificing so cleverly that Pastor speeded to third in magnificent style and came in easy on Rollins' hit. Hook plunked the ball to the pitcher and he and Rollins got lost in the double. That is the story of the winning ru... While no scores were made in the other I innings, many of them were full of in terest. McTeer opened for Greensboro with a two-bagger, hut was later caught I on a foolish dash for third, when Fox J batted to Pastor. In Raleigh’s half Sugg gave three men bases on halls in succes sion, hut no one scored. In Raleigh’s fourth, with two down, Philbin soaked a three-bagger in the red gully, but Davis punched in the air and left him there. In the fifth Soffle again made an ideal bunt along the line to first and advanced the runners to second and third. Davis was on third with one down when Rollins lifted a fly to centre, . but Davis did sleeping time work and stayed there in place of trying the riid<\ and was stuck there when Hook died short to first. In Greensboro’s seventh, Luttimoro made a beautiful running catch in centre ! and in the eighth Leonard struck out both McTeer and Fox, Greensboro’s 1 heavy artillery. The game was a brilliant one and was ! played in 1:25. The crowd had con stantly increased from half past two, ’ when the first game begun, until at its close there were in the neighborhood of j 7CO people present. RALEIGH. AB. R. H. P.O. A. E.

After an intermission until 4:30 the | second stanza was begun, and in this Greensboro took the lead from the jump and kept it, though Raleigh pushed close. T -I-IXIV Bra-. .. JENTS. McTeer was dead-headed to first and Kelly batted hot to Sofile, when the ball went askew to right field, and before it got home McTeer had score 1. Fox went out. pitcher to first, while Roy pitched wild high up in the air and let Kelly score. Sullivan singled in left hut Treager lot the hall slip by, while Sullivan shot around for third. The ball was fired there 1 to Hook hut it wont astray on Hook’s error and Sullivan scored. Cook made a slow hit hut the next two went down. in Raleigh’s half, w’f.h two down Rol lins hit in centre and Hook reached first when the guardian of that snek dropped the ball Pitcher Coureen threw him. Ilook lead off in a steal to second, made it. and Rollins scored, after which Treagar fanned out. Raleigh's next and last run was in the third. Rollins reached first on an error at second, and advanced on Hook's hunt. Soffie was running the bases for Rol lins and stole third. Treagar walked and on Connor’s fly in deep centre Sofile scored for Rollins, after which l’hilhin flew out to the pitcher. For inning after inning it was three up and three down, but no soot ing. Then came Greensboro’s eighth with a run. Corbett fanned and Courneen smashed a three-bagger in right, chasing himself home on MeTeer’s fly in right, while Kelly retired the side by a fly to Trea gar. Raleigh tried in vain to make it neck and neck with Greensboro anil it looked as if it. would come in the ninth. With one down, Philbin swatted out a two begger, and Kain went in to hat in place of Davis. He plunked a fly in centre and Roy ended the day by flying out to second. In Raleigh’s second inning the bases were filled and the bleachers made music. With one hand down, Philbin walked, Davis singled to third. Roy flew to first and Pastor, hit by the ball, mado three men on the bases. Two were down and Soffle, after a vain fight for a hit, dropped a fiv to Fox, the long hoy of Pandleman. The game was a good one, but for the nightmare during the first inning, and in this Raleigh lost the game. Roy, a little wild during the opening innings, did fine work and Courreen did likewise, each yielding but four hits. It is not neces sary to say that Pastor and Soffle, the “Heavenly Twins,” did god work. RALEIGH. AB. R. H. P.O. A. E.
