DATE OF THE DEBATE.
Cnlifornia and Stanford to Meet for This
Years Public Forensic Contest
on ApriI 1S.

A. committee of arrangements for this
years California-Stanford intercollegiate
debate met at the Palace Hotel yesterday
afternoon to decide upon the date of the
contest and the manner of choosing the
judges.
2. H. Dam was Berkeley's representa-
tive and B. T. Bledsoe, R. ]. Wardall and
Il. ]. O'Neill were present as delegates
from Palo Alto.
1t was finally agreed, after long partisan
contention, to hold the public exhibition
of forensic ability in Metropolitan Temple
on Saturday night and April Is was
fixed upon as the date.
Each university will name one iudqe
subject to the approval of the other uni.
verslty, and the third Judge will be chosen
by the two universities together. 1T is
probable that all the Judges will be WELL
known lawyers of San Francisco. Two
years ago the judges were subjected to
some broadside and scathing criticism
from the classic slopes of Berkeley after
they had decided in favor of Stanford, and
it is the intention OF both sides this year
to guard against accusations of judicial
prejudice.
Three debaters already chosen on COM
petitive trials will represent each college.
The University of California will probably
choose the question and Stanford will have
the choice OF sides.

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE,
Resultof an Early Morning Shoot.
ing ARRAY in Quincy
Alley.
John Wilson Fired at by Thomas Nolan
and Saved by Button on
His Trousers.

Thomas Nolan, laborer, was arrested
at an early hour yesterday morning on
Pine street by Policeman J. NJ. Dwyer on
the charge Of assault to murder.
Dwyer, while patrolling his beat, heard
pistol shot from the direction of Quincy
alley. He ran toward the alley and met
young man who was running at full
speed followed by Nolan, with a revolver
in his hand. Dwyer called upon the flee
ing young man to stop, and at the
same time grabbed Nolan. As he did
so Nelan raised the revolver and Dwyer
shouted: Don't shoot; Pm an officer!"
Before he could grasp Nolan's right hand.
Nolan deliberately fired at the young man
and he dropped TO the ground. Dwyer
promptly wrested the revolver from Nolan
and turned him over to policeman Jerry
DInan, who had arrived on the scene.
The young man who was shot said his
name was John Wilson. A hasty examin-
alton showed that he had mad miracu-
lous escape from death. The bullet had
penetrated the outer edge of his coat, torn
a crease along the vest and striking but
ton upon his trousers was detected down.
ward and passed out at the bottom of his
trousers without grazing his skin.
Both young men live in Oakland and at
tended the en-Needham prizefght on
Friday night. They were both drunk and
wilson was charged with disturbing the
peace. He told the officers that he was
walking through the alley when Nolan at
tempted to rob him.
Yesterday after he got sober he said he
had no recollection OF the affair as he was
too drunk at the time. Nolan refused to
say anything as to the cause of the
trouble.
When the case against Wilson was
called in Judge Conlan's court yesterday
morning he pleaded guilty and the Judge
postponed sentence till Thursday, re-
manding Wilson into the custody OF the
police. Nolan's preliminary examination
on the charge Of assault to murder was
fixed for Thursday.
Wilson's attorney claimed that postpon-
ing his sentence till Thursday was simply
q subterfuge to evade the recent decision
by Judge Wallace in the Proctor case to
the effect that witnesses cannot be held in
prison prior to a preliminary examination.
He intends to apply for a. writ OF habeas
corpus.

The Democratic State Executive Com
mittee met in jackson this week, and
considering the issues before the people,
their action must be regarded az impor
Sant. Tire principal matter they had 70
consider was the fusion Of the Demo
cratic and Populise electoral ticket, snd
to effect this Senator Walthall lent the
influence of his great name. It Is the
first time Senator Walthall has had any.
thing to say In the pending campaign,
and we Judge from the tone Of his letter
he thinks there will be no contest here,
and consequently no cause for political
excitement. II seems the committee
could not agree with the Senator, for af-
ter considerable discussion they adopted
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Executive Com.
nittee of the People s party be advised,
in nswe TO the proposition for fusion.
that the committee is of the opinion that
II is without power to remove candidates
for electors named by the Democratic
State Convention, but is only clothed
with the power to fill vacancies, which
Of itself makes fusion impracticsble -
1t will be seen that the committee s
action may be suggestive of way to put
People $ Party electors or the ticket, and
that is for two or three Democratic cleo |
tors to resign and let the committee fill
the vacancies with fusion men, The !,
following is Senator Walthal $ letter to v
the committee. "
