To be Given with he Assistance of the
Duke, the yinIinist.
Directly after Lent the Euterpe so
ciety of ladies' voices, of which Prof
Horatio w. Parker in the director, will
give its first concert. The university
has rendered the use of the College
street church, and the New Haven
Symphony orchestra will play. Miss
Currie Duke, one of the youngest and
most successful of the numerous host of
female violinists, has been engaged as
soloist. The society will sing several
numbers with the orchestra, as well
as several unaccompanied selections.
The orchestra will play two or three
times, something from Tschaikowsky
and other numbers not yet decided up
on. The society has quite a fine rep
ertoire: The Spinning Song, from 1.-The
Flying Dutchman;" Becker's Song of
the Winds" Brahms Ave Maria, :"
Schubert's Thirty Third Psalm a
glee by Templeton Strong, and several
other things have been studied during
the winter, and the program will be
chosen from this list.
Prof. ParkerS name lends dignity
to the doings of the society and insures
conscientious and sincere musical pur-
pose. The membership roll contains
over a hundred names now, and every
thing seems to be prospecting under
Mrs. Martins rule. The concert is
sure to be a success, both artistically
and socially, because with such people
at the head it could not be otherwise.
Miss Gertrude Sanford, the efficient ac-
companist of the rehearsals, will Off

Special Course in &c ,nomic Debates
Junior Baseball Manager-No hace With
Pennsylvania.
The classes of ninety-seven and nine
ty-eight will next year have offered to
them an exceptional opportunity for the
cultivation of skill in debating. Special
attention is to be given to the course in
Economic Debates," in order that it
may afford systematic training for skill
and readiness in argument and in ex-
temporaneous speaking. During the
first term DR.. Baldwin will have charge
of the class and will give instruction
III rhetoric and in the preparation of
briefs. The work of the other two
terms, under Professor Hadley, will
consists of debates on economic SUBJ
jects between members of the class,
with previous interchange of briefs.
The debates will be awarded by Pro-
fessor Hadley on the facility of the
speakers in argument. The course will
be open to both seniors and juniors.
At a meeting of the Yale junior class
held last evening in 1874 Old Chapel
Dean Sage, jr., of Albany, N. Y, was
elected manager OF the class baseball
team.
1t is stated by crew men that the re-
port published in yesterdays papers to
the effect that the Yale freshman crew
will row race with the University of
Pennsylvania crew is entirely without
foundation, and that such a race will
in all probability not take place this
season.

FOOTBILL CONFERENCE.
Representatives of several Colleges Nee
at New York

at New York.
New York, March 19.-The represent
atives of the colleges forming the COM
mittee for conference on football rules
met this afternoon at the University
Athletic club. The meeting was mere
1y preliminary and nothing of import
ance was consummated. The colleges
were represented as follows: Harvard,
j. III. Sears; Yale, Walter Camp; Prince
ton, Alexander Moffatt; University of
Pennsylvania, J. C. Bell; Cornell, L. II.
Dennis.
The committee organized with Walter
Camp as chairman and secretary, and
after a general discussion the meeting
was adjourned until the 26th, when ac-
tion will be taken.
The object of the meeting is to make
the rules governing intercollegiate foot
ball uniform under one code which shall
be satisfactory to ALL The various
codes which prevailed last year were
the cause of much confusion and dis
satisfaction. There were the the Yale
Princeton rules, which prohibited mo-
mentum plays; the Harvard -Pennsyl
vania-C Cornell code, which allowed mass
and wedge formations, and the Har-
ward Princeton code, which was made
up from the other two sets of rules.
Mr.. Moffatt stated tonight that while
the discussion this afternoon was only
abstract, the sense of the committe was
decidedly in favor of the Harvard
Princeton set of rules, with two or three
compromises. He also said that the
other changes that might be made
would be mostly of a minor nature. No
changes would be made unless by
unanimous vote, as, although the COM
mittee was sitting as committee of the
University Athletic club, the vote of
each member would represent the views
of his college. There Is a decided hope
that the conference will inauguarte a
mutual and peaceful understanding be-
tween the big colleges which will be
welcome to every one interested in in
ter-yarsity sport.

for Murder-President Unable to Bring
the Session to Order.
Berlin, March 13.--During the discus
sion Of the colonial budget in the
Reichstag to-day the chamber was the
scene of tremendous uproar and con-
fusion. Herr Bebel, one of the socialist
leaders, made a violent attack upon the
systems pursued in Africa by DR.. Carl
Peters, the explorer, Herr Lest, lof-
merly governor of the Cameroons ana
Herr Wehlau, who was Leists supstl-
tute, declaring them guilty OF every
species of barbarity, including murder
and rape. He denounced the disclpIhe
pursued by the courts in these cases.
which had proceeded from the palace
at Potsdam and declared that the mia
sentences imposed upon Leist and Wen
lau was an act of the blackest shame
the world has ever seen. He demanded
that DR.. Peters be tried for murder.
The remarks of Herr Bebel created
great excitement and the chamber soon
drifted into a state of tumult, the So
cialists shouting violent denunciations
of the governments course and the
president vainly ringing his bell for
order.
DR.. Kayser, director of the colonial
department, finally obtained a hearing
and declared that DR.. Peters had only
,x,an,tad tba hlonlys in cases where the
safety of the lives and property of Ger
mans required such a course. He was
assured, he said that the lives of the
blacks in the German colony were as
safe as those of the whites.

The william B. ra'mer, which Was
Launched Rec Antly at Bath,

The largest vessel of schooner rig
built in the United States was success
fully launched Saturday, February 20,
from a Bath shipward and as some of
our New Haven monied men have been
interested in Maine vessels in times past
and a few still own stock in craft from
that state, we give details concerning
her. The schooner, four-master of
the keel type, was built by Nathaniel
7. Palmer, Names youngest ship
builder and is named for William B.
Palmer, city treasurer of Bath. She
went overheard in driving rain storm
at 12:4S p. m. She was christened With
pinks by Miss Edith l.. Palmer, daugh-
ter of Frank A. Palmer Of Bath.
This latest output of a Bath shipyard
is an excellent specimen of maritime
architecture and reflects much credit
upon her master builder, James H.
Cameron, and the large number of
skilled mechanics of Bath who have
been employed in its construction. Ac-
cording to the measurements of the
vessel made by the Bath custom house
officials, the schooner has q gross tom
mage of 1,S0573. The registered length
is 257 feet2 inches breadth. 4l feet /
inch; depth 20 feet l inch. The next
largest vessel built in Maine is the Gov
ernor Ames, which was launched in
Waldoboro in 1883. The gross tonnage
of the Ames is 1,77S.77. thus making
the William B. Palmer nearly twenty
seven tons larger than the Waldoboro-
built craft In the construction nearly
400 cubic tons of Maryland white oak
timber and $4,000 feet of Georgia yell
low pine have been used. About 100
tons of iron were used IN the vessels
fastening.
The frame Is of extra large dimen-
sions, the floor being IA by 5, buttocks
IS, and tubs II inches sided. The vessel
has very heavy backbone, the main
keelson being feet in depth and 141a
inches In width. The sister keelsons
are IS by IA inches and the bilge keel
sons are 13 inches thick The lower
deck clamps have two thicknesses of 9
inches and the upper deck clamps are
s inches. The lower deck beams are
what is termed double, there being
a space of only 3l2 feet from center to
center. These beams are extra large,
being II by 13 inches, and the lock
strakes over the ends of the beams
are 8 by IA inches and are lashed over
beams 3 inches. The schooner has on
her lower deck an innovation, it is
claimed, in marine architecture-double
WATERWAYS having a depth of 2S inches
and a width of "A inches. The hanging
knees beneath this deck are of selected
hackmatack and number so. The lower
deck stanchions are Is by IA inches. The
upper deck frame, is li1se the deck be-
neath-full beaned, not carling being
used in the construction of the two
decks. The tween deck stanchions are

The Union Convention.
The convention of the silver unions
held Saturday in every important par
ticular was an unqualified success. No
more hopeless task was ever undertaken
by any set of men than the one assumed
by the delegates that constituted the three
divisions of the silver army in St. Louis
county. When it is considered that their
task was to select ticket the nominees
on which were to be apportioned to the
three conventions by which they were
to be selected with reference to their be-
ing acceptable to the other two, the
wonder is that the result obtained was
satisfactory to anybody at all.
The question of the nativity of the
nominees has been raised. In this par
ticular the convention was unfortunate.
The conference committee 1abored in
cessantly for six hours. The members
thereon had no desire other than to
satisfy the most people possible, and
they recognize as keenly as anybody the
serious nature of the defect. And while
there are grounds, as the ticket now
stands, for dissatisfaction, it is still pos
sible and probable that the seeming,
though unintentional discrimination yet
may be corrected.
There never was a convention held
that suited everybody; that did not hurt
somebody's feelings. or trample upon
some patriots cherished hopes. There
never was any kind of a contest fought
to conclusion that somebody did not
have to taste defeat. The following is
the ticket.
