Cambridge's mascot, small colored boy
dressed in their colors, proved TO be a

best efforts, while he made Cambridge
think they had cinch, and they were
beaten easily, Barnesville winning the
debate and Grafton, which counted nine
points, and the visitors being accredited
with the essay and recitation, which
counted them five points.
The hall was wholly insufficient for the

very high order being highly
praised by President Simpson when he

VIEWS IN CHICAGO.
Confidence Felt in secretary Carlisle's
Ability TO Keep Things Going.

CHICAGO, April 21.-'I think Secretary
Carlisle made his intentions quite clear in
his statement" SAID J. B. Forgan, Vice
President of the First National Bank,
this afternoon,
''Of course tits only guess work whether
or not he can secure enough gold Is prevent
the limit (sloO,0OO, ,OO0) being reached. If
he does not, then there will certainly be a
premium on gold and consequently on
greenbacks. If the premium is put on, l
don't think il will be less than 10 per cent.
Gold is already practically out OF circula-
tion, out there is now a foreign premium
upon il Of about IL per cent"
''Mr. Carlisle is a very experienced
fnancier and probably knows what he is
doing" said Cashier L. A. Goddard Of
the Fort Dearborne National Bank. IF
gold in the treasury gets down 10 $780,
COO, 900, so that no gold is paid

THE ARGUMENT CONTINUED.
Mr. Carter Continues to Tear Down the
British Contention-A Strong Plea.

mr.. Oarter OOnIlhucs W AooA DO"H ~-~
British Contention-A Strong Plea.
PARIS, April 21.-Mr. j. @. Carter, OF
counsel for the United States before the
Bering Sea Tribunal Of Arbitration,
continued his argument to-day In behalf
of American claims in Bering sea. Mr..
Carter criticised the weaker points OF
the case presented in behalf OF Great
Britain. He admitted that the United
States asked for a monopoly OF the
seals, but monopoly, he argued, could
only be injurious when artificial prices
were induced by 1t. In the present In
stance that was impossible. On the con-
trary the monopoly asked for by the Uni
ted States would encourage production
and be beneficial to humanity In the
same way as the laws providing for pat
ents and for copyrights. Mr.. Carter
proceeded to refute the British argu-
ment that the seals devoured British
fish In the waters of British Columbia.
The fish in those waters, Mr.. Carter
said, were the property OF the world.
Mr.. Carter quoted from the joint report
of the Commissioners Of Great Britain
and the United States appointed to in
vestigate the condition Of seal life In
the Northern Pacific ocean to sustain
his contention that Pelagic sealing was
wrong. The United States, Mr.. Carter
said, would tolerate the immemoriai
rights Of the Indians to pursue the seals
for their personal sustenance, but not
for commercial purposes.

MIR. Balfour rose shortly before III

Important constitutional change been pro-

guments were that the union had failed
and that coercion had failed.
He shouted that agrartan crime IN irc-
land was at its worst before the union
This statement was greeted by loud cries
OF "no,n "false,n and ''shame" from tnc
Irishmen.
IL was madness 10 look forward with the
expectation Of seeing agrarian crime
stamped out In the immediate future. Tne
bill would entail loss and hardship upon
all classes In ireland.
irish ambitions would center In the new
Dublin Parliament. freshmen would re-
gard the Imperial Parliament as foreign
and defeated body. The Irish people
would drink from the bitter and polluted
stroam OF Irish history Instead OF the pure
stream OF English history. FLaughtcr.l
