The custom was received with great
favor, and with somewhat amended
rules ceremonial became established

so strict, etiquette so rigid, and the
whole affair conducted with SO much

erican League.
A meeting called by the Amer
ican League, but open to non
members, was held at the hall of
that society yesterday evening, to
organize a debating club "free for
all" There was small attend
ance, either for want of specific
notice, misunderstanding as to
the date. Indifference, or little of
each cause, according to the OPT
mons of those present. 1t was de-
cided, however, to go right ahead,
and Y. b. Murray, president of
the League, was appointed tenn
pOrary chairman and G. S. Brad
ford, secretary.
Messrs. Logan, Barnes and
Towsc, being elected a committee
on rules, submitted a simple code.
The name was to be The Third
House, the laws, parliamentary
usage according to Cushing's
manual, and the officers a speaker,
clerk, sergeant-at-arms, chaplain
and executive committee. In
debates two principals on either
side were to have thirty minutes
each, after which all comers
could hold forth in fve-minute
speeches. Adopted without change.
Officers were elected as follows:
Ed. Towse, speaker; G. s. Brad
ford, secretary; W. H. Drum
mond, sergeant-at- arms; ID. Logan,
A. Barnes, l.. ID. Timmons, L. b.
Murray and A. l.. Clark, execu-
tive committee. j. L. Stacker de-
clining unanimous election as
chaplain, that Office is yet to be
filed.
1t was decided to hold the first
public debate next Thursday even
ing, on the subject: Resolved,

immediate steps for abrogating
the existing treaty with Japan"
p. S. Hughes and G. S. Bradford
