thing and that it will hereafter con-
tinue right along. It is certain that
the documents now being circulated
by the National Committee can be
handled with more advantage in WASH
ington than anywhere else, and it is
needless to say that the machinery of
the National Committee makes their
distribution easier and more thorough
than it would otherwise be. The Ma
tional Committee is not having any
thing to do with managing the state
campaign; it is merely looking after
the proper distribution of literature
bearing upon the national policy of the
Republican party, leaving the manage

There are several more OF less pressing
matters which he wishes to be discussed
by the Cabinet and disposed of, and he
also wished to have talk with Consul
General Lee, who is also in Washing

as these things are done, he will go
away again for short time. While
it has not been definitely settled where
he will go, it is probable that he will
go to New England and that be will
stay about two weeks. He is looking
very well, but be laughipgly remarked
that he had not succeeded in getting
much rest while away from Washing

him. That's why he finds it difficult to

HAWAIl'S ANNEXATION
DISCUSSED BY HARVARD AND
YALE STUDENTS
Yale Men Can't Play Football but
They Talk Well on Great Politi-
cal Question:

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec. 3.-Yale
orators carried an intercollegiate audi
ence by storm here this evening, the
home debaters winning in their tenth
meeting with Harvard in a close and
spirited forensic contest on the ques-
ton: "Resolved, 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 ten years.
The debate was held in College street
hall. Many Of the distinguished alumni
of both universities were in attendance,
while many statesmen Of even national
reputation were interested listeners.
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, Yale '56, pre-
sided.
The speakers representing Yale We're:
II. A. Jump, '99; j. K. Clark, SO, and Fl.
w. Fisher, '98.
Harvard's representatives were: VIM.
Morse, 1900; ]. A. Kith, S. p; G. Grill;,
'9S.
Each debater took twelve minutes in
opening and five minutes in rebuttal.
Yale's strong attack on Harvard S
argument was her denial that the pos
session of the Hawaiian islands would
strengthen this country from strate-
gic point. but that the possession of the
islands would weaken her and cause a
vast item of expense in defending them.
After the debate the judges, who were
Hon. w. B. Hornblower and Hon. j. j.
McCook of New York city and Prof. w.
L. Murrill of Columbia university, were
in session but fifteen minutes when they
rendered their decision, and the an
nouncement was greeted with the heart
lest of applause. 1t was unanimous.
Mr.. Depew made a witty address while
the judges were celebrating. At the
conclusion of the contest the Yale union
rendered the Harvard debaters and Wis
itors banquet in the New Haven house.

Tired of Fooling

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-Manager
j. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific
declares that hereafter westbound
trains on his road will not try to make
up time lost by eastern connections. He
says that sevral Of the roads running
out Of Chicago advertise almost impos-
sible schedules. and that his trains have
to wait from two to four hours in Ogden
for the late train, and then have to
make up the time lost between Ogden
and the coast. He says that this fast
work is dangerous, and that he will
force connecting eastern roads to change
their time tables, or else he will here
after pull westbound passenger trains
out of Ogden on schedule time and leave
the belated trains of other roads to
wait in Ogden and take the full and de-
served blame for their inability to make
their runs from Chicago on advertised
time.
