YALE WON THE DEBATE.

New Haven, Conn, December 3.-Yale
oratory carried an intercollegiate audi
ence by storm here this evening, the
home debaters winning their tenth meet
ing with Harvard tonight in close and
spirited forensic contest on the question :
Resolve, That the United States
should annex the Hawaiian Islands,
Yale defended the negative side, which
won the battle. This is Yale's third vic
tory over Harvard during the 10 years.
The debate was held in College street
hall, which was filled with representa-.
tive audience.
Hon. Chauncey M. Dspew, SO, presid
ed with his usual grace and wit.
He introduced the speakers OF the eve
ming. Each debater took IL minutes in
opening and five minutes in rebuttal.
The speakers representing Yale were :
II. A. Jump, 90; }, K. Clark, '99, and
II. W. Fisher, '98. Harvard's representa-
tives We're W. Morse, 1909, j. A. Keith,
S. P. G. erik, '98.
After the debate, the judges. who were
Hon. W. i. Hornblower and Hon. j. J..
McCook of New York, and Prof. U. B..
Murray of Columbia University, were in
session but Is minutes, when they re-
turned with their decision and the an
nouncement was greeted with the hearth
est applause. 1t was unanimous.
After the debate Mr.. Depew made q
witty address, while the judges were de
liberating. At the conclusion of the con-
test the Yale Union rendered the Harvard
debaters and visitors, with the judges

DUN's BUSINESS REVIEW.

New York, December ar. G. Dunn
and Company in their weekly review of
trade will say: The monthly report of
failures shows defaulted liabilities of ST.
Clio, 1856 in November against $12, 700, 1856
last year, Because of three large failures
for So, $50, 000 not due to present con-
ditions, the aggregate in November was
only 81, 100, 900 less than last year, land ex-
cept for those would have been smaller
than in August September or October.
The decrease in nearly all branches of
business shows that payments have been
remarkably good and defaults unusually
small. Other evidences of the state of
business are convincing, except in specu-
lative lines. Wages have been voluntarily
advanced for nearly $4,000 workers in
woolens and iron.
The wheat market has deceived every
body, dropping in the face of an enormous
foreign demand just when some advance
might reasonably have been anticipated.
Failures for the week have been 306 in
the United States against 379 last year,
and % in Canada against So last year.

lions to continue the development of the
model village at Baltimore along new
lines, but in details that have been long

lease to annual holders, while another
set will be furnished, aid offered for ten
amy to those who prefer to occupy the
dwellings for only a portion of the year.
The residences, of both kinds, will be
rented according as applications are

rates ranging from $40 to $35 per month.
In the new school building it is the in
tention to establish a school for the chill
