HOW NEW BEDFORD LIKED THEM
PortIand's Baseball Tossers Sized Up by
the Mercury.

2 Saturdays New Bedford Mercury in its
account of the game in that city Friday
among other things says:
Portland owed her victory in great
measure to the splendid work of Killeen
in the box. This young man pitched a
game that would have done credit to
Amos Rusie. 1t was one of the browning
efforts of his life and he deserves great
deal of praise for such fine work SO early
in the season. The New Bedforis were
completely at his mercy. For seven
innings our heavy batters walked up to
the plate and either struck out or tapped
easy ones to the intield.
Three hits would not win game and
we were lucky to come as close as we
did. Whatever Killeen's past record NAV
be, he will always be looked upon in the
future as one of the star pitchers of the
New England league. Ezra Lincoln OF
Raynham and Herr Klobedanz of Mil
waukse in their palmiest days neve,
succeeded in fooNng the new Bedfords tc
any greater extent and it is doubtful il
in the future the feat will ever be re-
peated.
Killeen, too, was afforded most ex
cellent support. To say that the Portland
team is 10 per cent stronger than las
year is putting it mildly. If Yesterday,
exhibition can be taken as criterion il
is about 30 per cent superior to what Il
was last season. There did not appear te
be weak spot In the makeup of tb,
nine, and the team work was much better
than is usually expected at the openips
of the season. Donovan caught Killer
in fine style and Magoon covered thirC
base in mastery STYLE

made vigorous attack upon the bill. Ii
was, he said a fraud upon its face and
in its provisions.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Republican of Ohio, re-
spending in part to Mr.. Hepburn's re-
marks, advocated the passage of the bill
as tending to restore credit, which re-
storation was essential to general pros-
perity.
Consideration of the bankruptcy bill
was interrupted to permit Mr.. Hit Re.
publican of Illinois, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, to call up and
have the bill passed by the Senate yester-
day appropriating S75, 900, to provide for
the fulfilme Mt of the stipulatlons of the

| Great Britain, dated February 8, 1896,
regarding the settlement of Behring sea
claims.
The discussion of the bankruptcy bill
continued for an hour or more, Mr.. Ding
ley being the last speaker. He urged the
passage Of the bill on the ground that
the country needed and demanded uni
form bankrupt law, in The interest of
<11L itva Do

ton.

Americans in every state in the

year.
Borrowing money in London does
not indicate that We love John Bull

dicates that We have cut our eye teeth
and are getting our government into
line with other progressive govern

not let us become mawkiSh over the
subject and think that We must sneeZe
every time our Uncle Sam catches cold
in order TO demonstrate our affection
for him.
1t is said that the bill introduced
by the Minister of Finance proposes too
much of a commission and an undue
discount. Maybe it does. Maybe it
does not. It is about the same rate
that the Australian Colonies have paid

However, that is merely a matter of

demonstrate their craftsmanship than
TO pass a bill, with all restrictions and
limitations which may be deemed
necessary, which will put it in the
power of the Executive to refund the
national debt.
If the opportunity then presents
itself we shall be in a position to take
of it.
If it does not, we cannot blame our
selves for neglect.
