RALEIGH LOSES ON ERRORS.
They say Sherman Was Internationally Par.

Especial to News and Observer

pitchers were in fine form today and al
lowed but two and three hits each.
Sweeney for the locals pitched magnifi-
Gently throughout. Childs was wild and
lost his head at times Wilmington took
good advantage of Raleigh's four errors
and to them is due the loss of the game.
Raleigh's run in the eighth was on a two
bagger by Childs and muff of Soffel 5
drive to left. Wilmington's runs came
in the third on Davis error of Sweeney s
drive, and a muff of Dommell's fly by
Latin. In the fourth, on a pass to
Deiters, passed ball by Smith, steal
to third and an error of Davis, and in
the eighth on Treagar's muff of Sween-

Sherman was conceded by all to have
been unintentionally partial to Raleigh.

Senator Wellington Precipitates a
Sharp Discussion.
VEST OPPOSES THE DEPEG AMENDMENT
Fairbanks Speaks in Favor of the Panama
Route for a Canal. The House
Kills The CorIiss Pacific
Cable Bill.
By the Associated Press.)

Washington, June 11.-Just before ad-
iournment today the Senate agreed to
vote finally on the Nicaragua Canal Bill
and all pending amendments on Thurs
day June 18th, the voting to besin at
p. m.
Before consideration of the canal ques-
tion was resumed today the motion of
Mr.. wellington, of Maryland, to dis
charge the Committee on Privileges and
Elections from further consideration Of
the resolution providing for The subms-
sion of an amendment to the Constitute on
for the election of Senators by the peo.
debate
During the discussion, Mr.. Vest, (Mo),
said he was anxious to have a square
issue on the question presented, but he
was opposed to the Depew amendment
and was opposed to the resolution as il
came from the House. He had ben a
Democrat for more than fifty years, but
he was not in favor of the declarations
in Democratic platforms for this resolu-
ton He denied the right OF any con
vention-State or National to dictate
how he should vote on any question He
was opposed to the pending resolution
because he believed that when The time
came for the people to be protected
against their own ignorance and imbc-
cility it was notice that popular gov
ernment was a failure. He inclined to
the belief that this was a plan adopted
by adroit politicians to induce the people
to believe that they were purer than
some other people
Mr. Fairbanks, Und), in a carefully
considered speech favored construction OF
the Isthmian Canal by the Panama
route. Originally, he said, he had fav.
cred the Nicaragua route, but an inves-
tigation of the subject, coupled with Chs
determination of the Isthmian Commits
sion, had induced him to change his mini
in favor of the aPnama route He ar
gued that that route not only would be
cheaper in the first instance, but cheap
er in operation after the canal was con-
structed. He earnestly favored the con-
struction of the canal and resented the
intimation that those who favored the
Panama route were in the least opposed
to a canal.

Three Promising Inventions.

Mr.. Alex j. Field, of Raleigh, is MAX
ing success at three inventions he has
put on the market.
One is an extracting tag for plug to-
bacco from caddies 1t is tin slip with
a graphing hold back of each plug, a
catch in front and enables the retailer to
pull out each plug without trouble and
to keep his tobacco packed in tight
Another is a tbacco box which is easily
opened at one end without injury TO the
other parts and the third is a glass door,
or cover for the caddies, which keeps
the tobacco from dust and wear while
clearly exposing it, and is tranferable
from caddy to caddy.
Mr.. Field is now in Richmond and the
manufacturers are taking hold of these
inventions. One manufacturer. w +.
Hancock. has already begun packing to-
bacco after Mr.. Fields patent and retail
dealers say that they would rather pay
more for tobacco packed in this way, as
they believe it will be more profitable
in the long run.
The inventions are cheap and of great
utility, and Mr. Field is TO be congrat-
ulated on the promising outlook for his
inventions.

The Cable Bill Killed.
(By the Associated Press.

Washington, June 1.-THE House to-
day dispatched the Corliss Pacific Cable
Bill by the same method it adopted yes
terday in the case Of the Forest Reserve
Bill 1t struck out the enacting clause
of the measure by vote of 116 to n,
thus giving no opportunity to test the
strength of the Dalzell substitute, which
authorized the President to contract with
private company for the laying of a
cable. The speakers today were Messrs.
Shackleford (MoD, Mann 0lls.) Morrell
(Pa.), and Tompkins (Ohio), for the bill
and Messrs. Richardson (Ala.), Newlands
(Nev), Loud (CaI). nd Cnnon Qlls.),
against it.
Mr.. Richardson, (Ala), referred at
some length to the possibilities in the
development of wireless telegraphy and
argued that it would be unwise. on the
threshold of the development of the new
system, for the Government to expend
SIS, 900 00C or $40 600, 900 for a submarine
cable, which might be valueless in a few
years. 1t was better, he insisted, to
allow private company to take what
ever risk was involved. Mr.. Richardson
red the contract under the post roads
ct of 1866. which the Commercial Cable
COIupdly dSTecu 10 MAKE With the SGcIb-
try of the Treasury covering the sale of
the cable N case of necessity, to the
Government, the control of the cable by
the Government in time of war etc. He
argued that these terms were in every
way very advantageous to the Govern
ment.
Mr. Richardson declared that as an
economic business proposition the Gov
ernment cable WIS niustifable nd he
quoted from the commerce committee's S
report against former bill of this kind
to the effect that the Government would
cost $15,G00,0O0 nd would chiefly benefit
300 foreigners and 100 American citizens.
He read q letter from John w Mackey
Of the Commercial Company guarantee
in gthat the compny would build an all
American cable and not touch upon
foreign SOL.
Mr. Adamson (Ga) made the motion
to strike out the enacting clause. To
prove that the Commercial Cable Com
Lany was proceeding with the work of
constructing the cable It proposed to lay,
he read cablegram from London dated
today and signed b. G. f. Ward, vice.
