The Prince Of wnlos for Peace.

New York World, December 21th.
The Pail Mall Gazette states it as a
fact that the Prince of Wales and the
Duke of York did not send their mes
sage of peace and friendship TO The
World without consultation with the
Prime Minister and under his approval.
This gives additional force to the
message. 1t marks it as expressing not
only the views of the heir-apparent and
his son, but also those OF the govern
ment of Great Britain, The message
thus interpreted is worth reading again
as an accurate reflection of the British
governments attitude and sentiment
towards this country. 1t ran as fol-
lows:
Sir Francis Knollys is desired by the
Prince of Wales and the Duke of York
to thank Mr.. Pulitzer for his teIe-
gram. They earnestly trust and cannot
but believe tho present crisis will be
arranged in manner satisfactory to
both countries, and will be succeeded
by the same warm feeling Of friendship
which has existed between them for
SO many years.
There is no doubt that this expresses
the aspiration of all right-minded
Americans as well as of all rational
Englishmen, including those who speak
forsEnglish authority.

EASTERN LEAGUE

At Adelaide Park yesterday afternoon
In a rather slow game the Grays again
defeated Springfield, making the series
four straight and as Rochester lost to
Syracuse, Providence now leads the cham
pionship race by go per cent.
IL was somewhat OF surprise TO see
young Frlel in the box for the nome team
yesterday and the spectators showed their
approval by vigorous applause. The
youngster, after the first two innings
settled down and pitched a fairly good
game, only giving nine hits, three men
bases on balls ana striking out Sweeney.
His stopping of two hot liners, rapid field
ing and three base hit made him favor
ite with the crowd.
Cougnlin, for Springfield was found
TO be comparatively easy and was ham
mered for is hits from which five earned
runs were netted.
In the field as well as at the bat the
Grays played great ball. putting plenty
Of vim and ginger into their play.
From a spectators standpoint the game
was fought with interest and excitement
inasmuch as there was no period when
timely stick work on the part OF the
Ponies would not have won out the
game.
Time and time again the pases were
Filed by both teams and IL looked as
though runs would be scored put the
batteries would invariably brace up and
the team wuold be retired. Three double
plays were made, one by Springfield and
two by Providence. The summary:
