The Lawn Club,

A special meeting of the New Haven Lawn Club association was held at the club house last evening for the purpose of discussing the question of establish ing a country club, the establishing of a golf link in connection with the lawn club and also the matter of en- larging the present club house. These matters were deemed of sufficient im- portance by many to insure their pres ence, consequently there was large attendance. While the remarks on golf showed that most desirable grounds for course could be obtained, and that a country club could be abolished at a cost all the way from four thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and that the club house could be en- larged to an advantageous size at cost of thirty-f1ve hundred, it was the sense of the meeting that the lawn club at the present time had better remain in statu quo, and just as the discussion was becoming somewhat animated a motion to lay the whole business on the table was carried amid the audible smile of the majority.

University Club Endorsed to Attract Men
 of All Circumstances.
 Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 1s.--A mass meeting of Harvard students was held in the large hall of the Fogg museum this evening to consider the formation of a university club open to all mem bers and graduates of the university, Every available inch of space was talk en and hundreds of students crowded around the doors. President James H. Perkins of the senior class was in the chair and after statin gthe object of the meeting called upon G. G. Murchy '95, of the law school coach of this years winning freshman crew.
 MT. Murchy called attention to the peculiar conditions of Harvard life which made the university club espe- cially desirable. The individualistic spirit led men to go to Harvard to make the most of themselves, while men went to other colleges to make the most of the colleges. He thought an admixture of this college spirit was needed at Harvard to remind men of the existence of the whole university, apart from the interests of the small clubs and cliques. Speeches were made by other prominent college men and soon after and amid great enthusiasm resolutions were adopted expressing ss the opinion of the meeting the great need of univer- sity club containing conveniences such as will attract men of all circumstances.

M0RGAN'S GREAT EFFORT
ALABAMA SENATOR SPEAKS THREE
 HOURS FOR ANNEXATION.

Ills Words Characterized by Earnestness
 and Undoubtedly wm Constitute Princl-
 pal and Strongest Argument of Annex
 ationists-He Dwelt Especially Upon the
 Military Importance of the Islands.
 Washington, Jan. 1S,--Senator Mor- gan occupied the entire time of the sen- ate's executive session to-day in pre- .senting his views on the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. He spoke for about three hours to-day and his speech was general presentation of the inn iportance of the islands to the United States. His words were characterized by great earnestness and undoubtedly his effort will constitute the principal and strongest argument or the annex ationists in favor of the Hawaiian treaty. He dwelt especially upon the military importance of the islands. MT. States did not now acquire the islands there would be war between this coun- try and some other power within ten weeks. It was not, he said, within the bounds of possibility, in view of the present European competition for terri tory in Asia that the Hawaiian Islands would be allowed to remain Independent for years time after the United States should finally announce their determin- ation not to make them a part of Amer ican territory.
 Docs the senator from Alabama mean to say" interrupted Senator Pet .tigrew, that the Hawaiian government would voluntarily seek the protection of some other power and thus forego the great advantage. those island now enjoy in their reciprocity arrangement with the United States, wich results in our remitting to them annually not less than s6.0O0, ,000." Senator Morgan replied that the reciprocity treaty had been ne- gotiated for the purpose of giving this country cheap sugar. He said that 1t lad been of greater benefit to the United States than to Hawaii, because it had accomplished its purpose of mak- ing cheaper one of our great commodi- ties. We want, not only the sugar from Hawaii, but cheaper coffee as we'll and that and many other necessary ar ticlcs could be grown in these islands.
 He showed by means of maps that the islands were in the very roadway of commerce between our western coast and the Orient, and said that all ships. whether laden with articles of com niesce or munitions of war, must nec- essaTily pass them in going to and fro between this country and the Asiatic coast, and thus, he said, the nation which controlled Hawai- would control the commerce of the East In closing, he said that failure to annex the is- lands meant inevitable bloodshed and the responsibility for that bloodsEeG would rest upon the senate for it's fail- rre to perform it's duty at this critical hour in the history of the two countries.

A Comparison Made With Church That

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. Ex-Governor H. s. Pingree of Michigan, who was the guest of honor at the January dinner of the Independent club at the Ellicott Square club this evening, delivered an address on What Constitutes Party Loyalty" in the course of which he said 'It is the misfortune of great parties, when long in power, that to them flock all those who desire to en- rich themselves by legislation which this party can give them. Mr. Cleveland disrupted his party in doing the bid dings of money syndicate which made enormous profits out of a scandalous bond deal To-day all the trusts, all the monopolies have taken refuge under the wing of the republican party, be- cause they fear the democratic party which has kicked them out. The mon- opolists. the franchise grabbers. the lobbyist, the political apostles of poodle, are all extreme partisans. When they elect themselves to office by the main force of money they ascribe it to the di- vine intervention of providence in be- half of the nation and it's honor.

 Liverpool, Jan 18-The Liverpool chamber of commerce gave a banquet this evening to the Rt Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies. MT. Chamberlain in the course of a speech referred to the great changes in commerce during the last twenty years. Looking to the certain ty," he said, ''that we are likely to be excluded by hostile tariffs from any country where the British flag does not float, our present policy is to take a very firm attitude and to maintain free markets. We have a three-fold duty first, to keep what rightly belongs to us; second, in Lord Rosebery's words to peg out claims for posterity,' and, third. if any one tries to reach these claims, gently to prevent them" Gaughter.)

THE MILL SITUATION.
Interest Centers Almost Entirely in Strike at New Bedford.

Boston, Jan. 1S.-Grim determination on the part of both sides, coupled with defined issue between employed and employe as we'll as practically an ab- sence of any sign of demonstration, were the features of the second day in the great contest in the cotton industry of New England. As yesterday, inter- est centered almost entirely in the strike at New Bedford, where the dis turbances of yesterday afternoon led to the belief that similar effort might be attempted to-day. Nothing of the kind occurred and the strikers strength ened their case by making the fine sys- tenn an issue.
 It was in meeting of the weavers' union at New Bedford that the question of fines was taken up and made an ls- sue by very close vote. The matter of financial support to the strikers was also generally discussed, not only in New Bedford, but in Bddeford, Saco and Lewiston, Me, and while the union strikers seem to have no anxiety re- garding the next three months, the non union men who are cut have feeilng that they may not receive sufficient as sistance during the labor troubles. In Fall River the superintendent or the King Philip mill, where there is strike, went so far as agreeing to remedy union grievances, but other than this there appeared no breach in the line of the manufacturers during the day. The hundred thousand operatives in all six of the New England states are watching the contest in New Bedford, Saco and Biddeford very closely, ana any signs of weakening on the part of either manufacturer or operative VIII be the signal for some general Iaoo1 movement, the extent of which Will De unparalleled in mill history.
