DEBATING ANNEXATION.
Yale and Harvard Students Now Hod
the Attention of the
Nations.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-A New Haven
special says: International interest is
felt IN the Yale-Harvard debate, which
will take place here on Friday evening.
The question is: Resolved, Hawaii
should be annexed 10 the United States"
Many Hawaiians and japanese wilt be
present, and the attaches of the two lega-
tons at Washington will attend in large
numbers. Among the visitors will be: II.
Castle, secretary of the Hawaiian Lega-
ton; M. S. Gilman, Consul General tor
New England, and son of Chief Justice
Judd. The selection of the affirma i've
side OF the question by Harvard is re-
garded as neat bit of diplomacy. The
president of Yale Union Debating Society
is Hiram Bingham Jr. OF Hawaii, and he
WAS anxious 10 have Yale allowed the an
nexation argument Harvard, however.
wanted that side herself, and forced Yale
to act on the other.

any way whatever. and the discomfort
ment OF the nationalities comprising the
Austro- Hungarian State is due entirely to
race hatred, inflamed by lbs insecurity
threatened for each separate race as soon
as the Emperor dies, or as soon as the
present disturbances should takeE larger
dimensions. The mem bers of the Reichs-
rath do not appear 10 have either the
good will or the ability to devise ways
and means 10 restore con tdence.
The latest cable news about the Ieslg-
nation of Count Badeni and about the
formation of a new Cabinet seems to have
quieled the FIennese population 20 some
extent, but IL is safe TO prophesy that no
lasting benefit can result from it, and the
near future will probably bring US the
news that the already alarming ind1ca =
tions OF to-day nave assumed still more
serious aspect. European liberalism has
always held that a conSlomeration OF so
many antagonistic races is not entitled to
existence as leading factor in the affairs
OF Europe, and all the great statesmen
were of the same opinion, though many
of them, like Bismarck, Gortschakoff,
Giers and Ambrassy, have done all they
could TO uphold the existing Austro- Hun
carian monarchy IN the interest of peace.
That was all very we'll as long as the peo-
pie acquiesced. but now the people choose
TO go their own wav, and they will do
so-in the end. WILLIAM LoDTMANN.

Western Turf Congress

May Clash.
Strife Over the SanCtiOning of
a Winter Meeting at

HorSemen Racing There Likely to
Be Outlawed by the Western
Body.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 30-A spec al to
! the Herald from Baltimore says: There is
every pros meet of a clash between the
| Jockey Club and the Western Turf Com
gress, growing out of the Jockey Club
assigning Decem Der dates 10 the Pimlico
Driving Club. The Western Turf Con-
cress does not recognize December or
winter racing at any point east OF the
Rocky Mountains except New Orleans.
Under this rule the Kentucky and Ten
nessee meetings conclude to-day. The
penalty tor a violation of this iron ella d
rule is outiawry for owners, trainers,
jockey and horses.
When the Jockey Club awarded Pimlico
dates for four days racing in Dec m Der
the Western Congress rule was probably
overlooked. To-day Inc wires have been
kept busy between this point and Nash
vile, the present headquarters of Z. c.
Hopper, secretary of the congress.
W. y. Porter, J. J. McCafferty, A. G.
Weston, and half-dozen other owners
and trainers DESTROYS OF racing at New
Orleans this winter and on the western
circuit next spring, teIegraphed to Hopper
asking II there was any objection TO their
racing here after to-day. The reply, in
every instance, was that the rule against
winter racing was in force. AS the matter
at present stands. 10 Western stable will
start horses here tomorrow and no West
EN- jockeys will ride. J. \. Hall, the
patrol Judge, will also decline 10 take the
chances OF Outlawing himself.

templating a New Dreams cam paign. Will

Il of n Tina Z OF tho asf-
ern congress to outlaw the meeting sane
toned by the Jockey Club is certain to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-In the opIn-
ION of the administra on the time is now
ripe for renewal of the practice of hav-
ing the United States navy represented
in the waters of the Gulf OF Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea. For several years
past, save an occasional cruiser sent with
all haste on her way 10 or from
the South Atlantic station, rot YES
sci OF the navy has gone beyond
the southern waters of Florida
Tor the reason that the presence of United
States war vessels in the neigh borhood of
the Spanish Antilles might have served
to create an erroneous impression as to
the attitude of the United States toward
the Cuban insurgents and might have
tended TO compiicate relations between the
United States and Spain at a time when
1t was desirable hat no outside influences
should be brought into play. Now, how
ever, with the Improvement in conditions
In Cuba and the continued existense of
good relations between the two Gov
ernments, the Navy Department is about
TO let some OF he smaller vessels of the
navy go into West Indian waters during
the present winter season.
