COLUMBIAN PRIZE DEBATE
The Negative Wins After Hard
Forensic Battle.
II Dectdes who Shall Be the First
and Second Honor Men OK
the Society.

The prize debate of the law department
debating society of the Columbian Cni-
yersity, which took place in the lecture
hall last night, was preceded by an IN
teresting incident The bust OF Justice
Harlan. which for some time has occupied
a conspicuous place in President Whit
mans reception room, was formally pre-
sented to the university by the students.
The presentation was made by Justice
Walter Cox of the District supreme court,
who referred in glowing terms 10 Justice
Harlan's connection with the university
The speech OF acceptation, in behalf or
the university, was made by President
whitman.
The debate was the final one OF the
series OF six held by the society during the
winter and the result meant more than the
mere victory in debate. for from among the
debaters were chosen the first and second
honor nlen of the debating society. The
names of the lucky debaters, however, Will
not be announced until next Tuesday
evening at the commencement exercises.
In presenting the subject and debaters,
Mr. Cousan, president OF the society, as
sured the audience that the gentlen,en
who would discuss the question were the
most foroeful tiebaters OF the society. This
assurance was fulfilled by the debaters,
each of whom made logical and eloquent
arguments in support OF the position they
assumed.
The query, Resolved, That the rules
of the United States Senate ought TO DE
so amended that general debate may be
limited" was supported 10y Messrs. Oliver
Wise Of Ohio, Willis Eugene Sullivan of
Idaho, Frederic p. Warfield Of New
York. aad opposed by Messrs. John Thil-
man Kendrich, Of Tennessee, Francis W
H. Clay of Kentucky, and John Charles
Dabney OF Virginia
The debaters were given fifteen minutes
in which to make their arguments, aud each
occupied the full allotted time, and would
have taken more il it Were permissible, so
eager W ere they 20 discuss the question in
all its details.
The affirmative argued that the United
States Senate was the only parliamentary
body in the world in which the minority
instead of the majority transacted the
business And by the Use OF the present
tactics stood out in opposition To the
sentiment OF the whole country. Under
the present RULES one man can talk as
long as physically able Long addresses
listened to by only an unfortunate presld-
ing officer, it was contended, are neither
enIightening nor interesting 1t Is On
those occasions that the members retire
to deliberate and thus it has come to be
called a deliberatiye body.
The negative argued that the Senators
were all men experienced in public life;

the schools for the Indian Bureau, took
different view of The present system lie
spok from all experience offorty-onr years,
and maintained that the merit system had
been a pow erful factor, not only i'll pre-
venting arbitrary removals, but iii sectIr-
ing better class OF employees. A strong
point made by Mr.. HailTnan was tiRIt EN-
ployes kept their positions under the civil
service reform rules longer now than form
erly. He excepted the school of Capt
Pratt He also pointed out that some Of
the testimony adduced by Capt. Pratt was

cause In rebuttal of the statistics here
toforc adduced by Capt. Pratt Mr. Hallnlan
submitted tie following:
FIRST The Seger Colony school was Or
ganizedin July, 1891, with three employees
whose salaries exceeded S4OO per annuin.
The superintendent was still in charge Of
the school in 1895, when the number Of
employees had been increased TO twenty.
At the time OF its organization none OF
the employees were in the classified service.
Second The Seminole school, Florida,
quoted by Capt. Pratt, is not a school, but
a pioneer station to attract the Indians to
civilization, whose employees are paid from
the school fund It is true that in 1892
there were at this place ten employees, as
stated by Capt. Pratt. but today there are
only three, and two of these were III the
service in 1892.
''Third-The Santa Fe Training School,
New Mexico, quoted by Capt Pratt, was
practically abandoned in 1898, which nc
counts for the disappearance of the names
of the emDloyes from the list The fact
that it was reorganiZed in 1894 does not
detract from the evident improperly of his
using this school for the purpose OF Illus
trating.
"Fourth-The abandonment of the Kiowa
Boarding School, Oklahoma, had been de-
termined upon in 1895, and the employees
then in the service were gradually trans
ferred TO other schools. OF the ten en-
ployes receiving $4oO or more, listed in
1896, all but two are In the service now in
other schools.

THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE
Two Views as to Its Effect on
Indian Schools.
HALLMAN'S REPLY TO PRATT
The Superintendent of the Indian
Bureau Schools Defends the Merit
Writing TO Support His Conten-
tion-Other Testimony Adduced.

The special inquiry by the Senate COM
nittee OF that subject into the working
OF civil service reform laws in the various
governmental departments, was resumed
yesterday morning at the Maltby building,
the greater paIt of the sitting being de-
voted TO the Indian schools. The first
evidence wasgiven 10y SupeIintendentPratt
Of the Carlisle Indian School, he having
already made statement to the committee.
Mr.. Pratt expressed the opinion that the
examinations fol places were not A prac
tical test. He had been in the service
long time, but he did not think that he
could pass the examination row required
TO fill his position A feature of the sys-
TEN, he said. was that it tended to make
employees insubordinate TO the extent, at
least, of giving them the power TO appealtO
Washington. Mr.. Pratt held that his
views were shared in by other superin-
tendents of Indian schools, from whom he
submitted letters. He did not think that
the regulations prevented removals; in
fact, they were frequently made, and as
often as under the old system.
