OF the third game between Peoria and

felt that he had already let the game con-
tinue longer than was safe for the men
under the existing conditions Of failing
light, and in the dusk the tired players
dragged themselves of the diamond after
a contest to endure the strain and dura-
ton Of which their brief fortnight or so OF
practice had scarcely fitted them.
The Pirates touched Oscar Graham for
twelve safe ones. but they we're well scat

visitors might as we'll not have hit once
after the fifth inning for all It got them.
In the first one three singles and a base on

singles and another gift brought the second
and last one.

base on balls. stewart's triple and an error
by Vaughn tied the score and also started

TELLER'S PLAN FOR PEACE
Amendment TO Philippine Bill
During Debate on General
Smiths Order.

WASHINGTON, April PA spirited
discussion Of the Philippine question oc-
Cured in the senate today. 1t revolved
around the order said to have been issued
by General Smith to make the island OF
samar a bowling wilderness and TO kill all
the male inhabitants over the age Of 10
years. The debate took a wide scope and
many other points were discussed.
when the Philippine bill was laid before
the senate no one was prepared to deliver
a set speech on It. Mr.. Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, in charge Of the measure, said
he felt compelled to press It for consid-
Grafton. His remarks drew the fire or Mr..
Teller Of Colorado, who criticised the re-
publicans for not participating in the dis
cussion. This precipitated the debate and
for more than two hours IL continued.
Mr.. Teller declared that General Smith,
II he had issued such an order as had been
attributed to him, ought TO be dismissed
from the service, as il was a disgrace TO
the American army and to the American
people.
Mr.. Lodge said that while he knew little
Of the circumstance surrounding the al
legged order, he did not approve Of cruel
methods in warfare and every right-minded
person must regret General Smiths order.
To him IL was revolving. He defended the
administration, however. saying tha; as
soon as knowledge Of the order had come
to Washington the president had directed
that General Smith be court-martiaIed.
Mr.. Rawlins Of Utah made a personal
statement as to a report Of his speech made
by the Associated Press to tne effect that
he had, In effect. characterized General
Chsfee as a bastard villain" on account
Of the alleged barbarities committed in the
Philippines
Mr.. Rawlins said that an unintentionaI
Injustice had been done him and quoted

He was a vigorous writer and made many
