should annex the Hawaiian Islands,
Yale defended the negative side.
which won the battle. This is Yale's
third victory owe Harvard during the
10 years. The debate was held in Col
lege Street hall. Many of the distin-
guished alumni of both universities
were in attendance, while many states
men of even national reputation were
interested listeners.
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, Yale So
presided.
Each debater DOL Y minutes in
opening and five minute in rebuttal.
Yale's strong attack on IIarvard's ar,
gument was her denial that the pos.
session of the Hawaiian islands would
strengthen this country from a strate-
eic point, but that the possession of the
islands would weaken her and cause her
a very large item OF expense in defend
ing them.
The speakers representing Yale were:
H. A.. Jump, 80; J. X. Clark. 90. and II.

Harvard's representatives were:
William Morse. 1900: j, \. Keith. S. p.

were Hon. w. b. Hornhlower and Hon.

the law as on those which have thus
far disregarded it. The general impress
sion among the railroad men and labor
leaders who were in attendance at the
hearing is that the extension granted
by the commission will be a compro-
mise. Three years is generally believ-
ed to he the maximum which the com.
mission will grant. The commission
is evidently in great doubt as to their
ability to impose conditions on an ex-
tension and it may be that they will
grant but a years extension at a time
with the understanding that against
those roads which do not complete the
yearly portion of their equipment dur-
ing that period the law shall become

When Thorn was brought into court
