HARD DAY FOR SMITH
Senate Again Discusses the
Samar Incident.
SENATOR TELLER SCORES GENERAL
House Passes the Omnibus building
Bill Approprinting $I7 7,fO5,f5O.
No Opportunity For nm
Amendment.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-A spirit
ed discussion of the Philippine situa-
tion occurred in the senate yesterday.
1t revolved around the order alleged
to have been issued by General Jacob
II. Smith to make the island of Samar
a bowling wilderness and to kill all
male inhabitants over the age of ten
years. The debate took wide range.
however, and many other points were
discussed.
When the Philippine bill was laid
before the senate, no one was pre-
pared to deliver set speech OH it.
Mr.. Lodge (Mass), in charge of the
measure, said he felt compelled TO
press II for consideration. His remarks
drew the fire of Mr.. Teller (Colo). who
criticised the Republicans for not par
ticipating in the discussion. This pre-
cipitated the debate, and for more than
two hours ii continued. Mr.. Teller de
clared that General Smith. if he issued
such an order as had been attributed
to him, ought to be dismissed from the
service, as it was disgrace to the
American army and to the American
people.
Mr.. Lodge said that, while he knew
little of the circumstances surrounding
the alleged order he did not approve
of cruel methods in warfare. and every
right minded person must regret Gen
eral Smiths order. To him it was re-
voting. He defended the administra-
ton, however, saying as soon as knowl-
edge of the order had come to Wash
ington the president had directed that
General Smith be court martialed.
Under a special order which allowed
three hours for debate, but which cut
Il off all opportunity of amendment. the
house passed an omnibus public build
ing bill which will distribute SIT ,405,-
4 450 among ia cities. As the bill Gov
ers into the treasury S15S5, 900, the to-
h tai amount carried by the bill is re-
duced to that extent. The bill provides
II for seventy-seven new buildings and
sites, six buildings on sites already
purchased, seventeen buildings on do
mated sites and fifty-eight increases in
appropriations for buildings already
| authorized. 1t also provides for the
I purchase of sixteen sites.
The majority for the bill was so
4 overwhelming that only nine members
backed demand for the yeas and
nays on the passage of the bill. There
4 was some criticism of the method by
i which it was proposed to pass the bill
without opportunity for amendment,
which Mr.. Mercer, chairman of the
committee, answered by stating that If
the bill had been subject to amend
ment the appropriations carried by it
would have been increased to $6O,OOO,-
600.
The consideration of the agricultural
appropriation bill was resumed, but
only few pages were disposed Of.

THE STATES GREAT LOSS.
Freshets and the State Farm.

Monday Superintendent J. S. Mann
and Mess. Nathan O'Berry, OF Colds
boro, G. Hackett, of Wilkesboro, and }.
A. Brown, of Chadbourn, visited the
Caledonia State farm near TllIery, and
viewed the devastation wrought by the
late ireshet In Roanoke river.
Mr.. Mann thinks that the freshet
took away twenty thousand dollars
worth of dykes. The forces had been
working on them FIVE or six months
and had just completed them.
Mr.. O'Berry said to the editor OF
THE COMMONWEALTH that he thought
1t would be wise to let that part OF the
farm alone. Leave the dykes down
and let the water 60 over it. Plant it
In walnut trees and use it as grazing
ground. There are only about l,5OO
acres subject to overflow from the par
ticular break In the dykes where so
much trouble has occurred. This
would leave 1000 acres of cultlvable
land on the farm.
The Raleigh correspondent to the
Charlotte Observer wrote Jan. 8:
"The loss by the breaking OF the
dykes at the Caledonia State farm on
the Roanoke river is very severe one.
No one can say when the dykes will
be or can be rebuilt, as all the labor
available must be employed on work
which brings in money, so urgent are
the needs for funds. The penltentiary
is always an incubus, always "hard
up" When the dykes were rebuilt
last autumn the old lines were followed.
Superintendent Mann said some time
ago that he was sure the dyke was at one
place too near the river, and being op-
posite bluff across the river the water
gorges and its already great pressure is
Increased. He says thatat this point
the dyke should be built some distance
inland, so as to give the river more
room, even if the new line did throw
out 100 acres of farm lands. A study o.
methods of building dykes is one thing
needed. 1t will more than pay the State
to employ experts and get the best
knowledge. The loss of $4,000 last
year and OF SIS 900 this year, by two
freshets, is certainly a heavy blow ane
lesson also. The State will have tt
do some scientific dyking or else Civ
up farming there. This farm wa
bought bv the State in~1S99 for nearl!
$4,000. Ii was then claimed that j
was worth 100000"
