St. Paul's Cathedral.

Every one who has been to London
knows st. Paul's cathedral. Its mighty
dome and the golden cross above it look
out over miles of smoky streets. The
present st. Paul was built by Sir Chris
topher Wren, who designed so many
London churches. 1t was begun in 1875
and was not finished till I'LL. 1t is 365
feet high, just as many feet as there
are days in the year. In it are the tombs
of many of England's greatest heroes,
including those of Lord Nelson and the
Duke of Wellington. Sir Christopher
himself is buried there.

COLLEGE ORATORY.
Competitive Debate Between East-
ern and Western Students.

Comp etitiVe Debate Between Easts
ern and Western Students.
NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-President
Brodt of the Columbia College Debat-
ing union has received a letter from
the OratortcaI society of the Univer-
sity of Chicago accepting Columbias
proposal for an Intercollegiate debate
AT a joint meeting of the Barnard
and Philolexian Literary societies it
was decided to try to have an argu-
ment with some university next spring,
and a brief telegram was sent to the
ChicagOans.
The Columbian boys favor New York
as the battle ground but if there are
any serious objections raised they are
willing to go west. The Chicago ora
tors say they wish to speak any time
before June, so that the New Workers
will have the choice Of a date.
Prominent judges of New York and
Illinois will be invited to decide the
arguments The members think that
such a contest between the east and
west cannot help but excite the Ut
most public interest. This, they argue.
will spur on the students to mightier
efforts, and the result viii be a mark
ed Improvement of the argunentative
faculties.
In regard to the matter, Instructor
RingWalt, who represented Harvard in
the annual debate against Yale for two
successive years, said: " Nothing bet
ter could have been designed. The
Chicago debaters will prove worthy
foemen for Columbia With the prom
inence gained by this argument. Yale.
Harvard and Princeton will doubtless
be very glad to meet our representa-
tives next year. and this, Of course
will tend to make debating popular in
all the colleges.

ONLY PARTIALLY TRUE.
A London Bankers Opinion on the
Efrect of Gold Production.

LONDON. Jan. 5.-At the half yearly
meeting today of the Union bank of
London, the new governor of that in
stitution, E. o. Schuster, said the pre-
vailing impression that the large in
crease in the stock of gold interested was
due to increased production was only
partially true. 1t was from the United
States, he added, chiefly that the in
creased was obtained. The imports from
the United States, continued Mr.. Schus-
ter were due to the currency troubles and
the want of confidence arising therefrom
But. in his opinion, the troubles would
not continue much longer and when these
difficulties were overcome as he could
not but hope they would be sooner or
later, the tide might turn the current
into the opposite direction and it might
set in with great rapidity and force
Mr. Schuster said it was true that
Mrs Langtry had brought an action to
recover for the loss of her jewels which
were entrusted to the care of the bank
and which were obtained from it by a
forged order. Mr.. Schuster added, how
ever. that the bank was resisting Mrs.
Langtrys claim. The Jewels have been
variously estimated to value from $780,
600 to $500, 900.

SOUTH AMERICAN TREATIES.
That Between Chile and Brazil VIII
initiate Against us.

NEW YORK. Jan ia dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
The Chilean treaty with Brazil has
been shorn of its Importance by the
announcement that Argentina has an
anterior treaty with Brazil giving all
the rights of the favored nation.
1t is the intention Of the United
States minister to demand of the Bra
lillian government that similar privi-
leges be accorded that country. This
will minimize the advantages that
may possibly accrue in favor of Chill
can flour and cereals.
A Herald correspondent in Rio jan
GIRO telegrapls that the treaty recent
ly signed by Brazil and Chilli contains
an agreement to subsidize a line OF
steamers between the two countries.
1t is very probable, he says, that a
similar reciprocal treaty will be ne
gotiated with Argentina. In the
event of these treaties working as sue
cessfully as is now confidently expec-
ted of them. the trade of the United
States with the countries parties
thereto will be impaired Especially
hard will they bear upon the ship
ments of flour.
