STLTER MEN MEET.
There Was an Acrimonious Debats at tho
 Morning Session.

NAOfIlIHE SesslOns
 Washington, Jan. 23.-The morning session of the free silver conference was wholly given over to an acrimonious debate between tLe populist and silver men, the committee on resolutions be- ing still occupied with framing it's re- port and it being deemed impracticable to transact any business in their ab- sence. The discussion was proved by the declaration of ex-Congressman Hatch of Missouri, who has come out squareIy as a candidate for the presi- dential nomination on the silver ticket, and who in an impassioned speech had blamed the populists for defeat 'of that sterling silver advocate, Joe Blackburn of Kentucky"
 Ex-Vice Presidential Candidate Field of the populist party vigorously com batted MT. Hatch's statement and caus- ed excitement by his pointed reference to influences exerted in the Kentucky campaign by President Cleveland, Sec retary Carlisle and others, Amid fre- dASAiS AiieSi uPtlOllS anu JHuCI GIlluuSl- asm MT. Hatch replied in his own de- fence and hotly reiterated his criticisms of the populists action in putting ticket in the field which had barely drawn enough votes from the democ- racy to elect single gold standard re- publican.
 Senator Butler of North Carolina re- pudiated the alleged facts set forth by Mir Hatch. He had been present in Kentucky before the campaign, and he declared that his party had not decided to enter the contest until after the dem- ocrats had put up straddling platform endorsing a bond-issuing administration and until Hardin had interpreted the platform directly in opposition to it's proper intent as recognizing metallic parity.
 The committee on organization sub- sequently reported in favor of holding the convention at St Louis July 22 The apportionment of delegates based upon the silver strength, as ascertained from the bimetallic union, was determined as follows: Alabama 40, Arkansas 15, Colorado S9, Delaware 3, Georgia 50, H. linois 50, Iowa 21, Minnesota 45, Mis- souri 3S. Nebraska 51, New Hampshire 6, New York A, North Dakota 12, Ore gon 17, Rhode Island 8, Tennessee PA, Vermont 8, Washington IT, Wisconsin 25 New Mexico 8, District of Columbia 4, Arizona 6, California 39, Connecticut 15, Florida 3, Idaho 10, Indiana 30, Kan sas 60, Louisiana 15 Maryland g, Michi- gan 34 Mississippi 15, Montana IS, Ne vada 40, New Jersey 12, North Carolina 75 Ohio 40 Pennsylvania 15, South Car olina 20, Texas 75.

TALE NOTES.

Captain Treadway and Manager De- Libour of the Yale crew say in regard to the report that Yale will row in the Henley races In England this season that so far as they know the matter has not yet been definitely settled upon nor has official action been taken. The prevailing sentiment among crew men, undergraduates and alumni interested in rowing is that Yale should ask for an invitation to row in a five boat race with Princeton, Columbia, Cornell and Harvard, or at least take steps to see if a Yale crew Is wanted there. A race in England is desired, but more than that the race on the Hudson is hoped for,
 The attendance at the Yale union this year has been greatly increased lover that of subsequent years this fall and winter the average attendance being about 200 each meeting night. Owing to this increased interest in debating the project has been put forward to di- vide the union into two societies much after the manner of the famous old Li- nonian and Brothers societies of former times. Whether in the event of such q division the old names would be re- suscitated is as yet unknown
 The union will meet this evening to diouss the question, Resolved, That the entire academic course at Yale should be elective. R. Schurll '96 and M. w. Gaines 9S will speak on the affirmative, while w. G. Baker '96 and R. F. Hunie 9s will uphold the negative side of the question.
 The regular weekly meeting of the freshman union will take place this ev- ening also. The question to be discuss ed is: Resolved, That the government should discontinue the policy of the Monroe doctrine. In the affirmative the chief speakers will be c. J. Heinock and and J. H. Mercy, while those on the negative will be G. w. Humphrey and G. M. Carleton.
 Those interested in forming a fencing class will meet in Dr. Anderson's of- flee this evening and it is expected that the class will be a large one.
 The next Phi Beta Kappa lecture for this year will be delivered by John Bur row February 19 on walt Whitman.

IGNORANCE IS DECLARED.
Claimed No Offensive and Defensive AL
 liance Is Formed.

London, Jan. 24,-Dispatches received here show that ignorance is declared in official quarters in Paris, Berlin and Vienna of an offensive and defensive al- liance having been entered upon by Rus sia and Turkey Tn some quarters the report is characterized as ridiculous. Nevertheless it is widely admitted that the recent exchange of communications between Russia and Turkey justify the expectation of some agreement between the powers
 A Paris dispatch to the Standard says that inquiries made in that city failed to prove knowledge in official circles of the existence of such an all liance, but brought forth a denial that it was possible for a treaty to be con- cluded on the lines of the Unkiah-Skel- essi agreement, as that would imply an inevitable war.
 A Paris correspondent of the Daily News says he finds that such an alli- ance is regarded as not improbable, which statement is confirmed by the Posts Berlin report.
 The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that the rumor is not new, having been in circulation some time in Vienna in various forms. This correspondent adds that inquiries have resulted in the expression of a consensus of opinion that no such treaty has been concluded, but he further says that none is need, as the, cordial, unstipulated agreement between Russia and Turkey. based upon mutual inter ests, is firmer and more complete now than at any time since the war of 1877.
 The Daily Graphic says the report was received by a. London daily paper some weeks ago from Rome. Inquiries failed to establish the truth of the dis patch and it was, therefore, sup pressed.

Kumors Were Flying.

Baltimore, Jan 23.-There were two B. & o. rumors flying around the stock exchange to-day They had both been circulated before and denied.

It is said the offer will be renewed, and that the salary will be such as to as- sure the acceptance of MT. Robinson. The other rurnor was to the effect that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is sell ing off it's block of 5o,00O shares of West ern Union stock.

The London News Wants the Auglo- -Ameri-
 can Dispute Settled.
 London, Jan. 24.-The News again nleads for a settlement of the Anglo American dispute. It sums up the Brit ish. advances, but says it is equally true that ample justice has been done by the press and public in the United States to the strength of England's po- sition and the equity of her conduct. The paper remarks upon the silence of Lord Salisbury and declares that the matter cannot be left to the foreign office.
 .The public" it adds, lis widely con- tent that professional diplomats shall deal with technical diplomacy, but there are broad principles concerning g which the nation must be heard and its voice needed. The British people will not have war with the United States and there is an end of it"
 The News appeals to Washington to clearly indicate to Venezuela that the United States wishes the question to be speedily settled.
