But the counsels of old Williams
alumni prevailed, and a compromise
was suggested, by which Dartmouth
was allowed to play "medics' on her
base ball team during the season of
80, with the agreement that thereafter
no student of the medical college should
represent Dartmouth in an athletic
contest The civilians compromise -
as it was called. was reluctantly agreed
to by Amherst. Dartmouth at the
time was smarting under a long sue
cession of base ball defeats at the
hands of Amherst, and Williams be-
came a party to the agreement with
little objection. Since the spring of
'95 no "medics" have played on a Dart

Mr.. Thurston at Work.

On the 21st and 22d of the present
month, Lorrin A. Thurston was in New
York city to make addresses on the
Hawaiian question. One body before
which he was heard was the large and
influential New York Colonial Club,
composed of men well known in that
section and having some members OF
national reputation.
There is further report on the ad-
dress of Mr. Thurston to the conven-
ton of Minister at Springfield, Mass,
some weeks ago. 1t is written that OF
the $50 clergymen present large ma
jority were opposed to annexation until
they heard the cause presented by Mr..
Thurston. At the conclusion of the
meeting a vote taken was unanimous
for the treaty pending at Washington.

HOW REED STANDS
Attitude Announced By
Dingley's Paper.
Would Probably Vote No On Annex
alton But Is Not Factor In
Opposition.

The Lewiston, Me-, Weekly Journal,
of February 10th, which is edited by
Congressman Dingley, Speaker Reeds
right hand man, contains the following
in its Washington correspondence:
The position of Speaker Reed on the
Hawaiian annexation is said to be this:
He will not use his position as Speaker
to defeat the treaty now under consid-
Grafton in the Senate, nor to prepare
the way for the defeat of legislation to
accomplish annexation should it be ne
cessary to resort to that to carry out
the policy of the Administration. His
opposition has been passive, but his
opinion is fixed.
The statement may be made with
absolute certainty that Mr.. Reed does
not believe in annexation, and, if call
ed upon to vote on the question, would,
undoubtedly, vote against it, but he is
not factor of the opposition. The Ad-
ministration favors annexation; a
large majority of the Republicans favor
all there is in the matter in respect to
the Speakers position.
The belief of the advocates of Hawai-
ian annexation is that they will have
votes enough in the Senate to ratify the
treaty. If they should fail in this they
are sure of a large majority in both
Houses for such legislation as may be
necessary to accomplish what is con-
templated by the treaty. 1t is not
thought that MI. Reed would try to use
the power Of his position to prevent
this legislation. Another question that
has been raised is as to the status of
Japanese now in Hawaii, and that point
is that they would become citizens of
the United States.
The fact is that they would have the
same opportunity after annexation to
become citizens that they have now
and that all japanese now have to be-
come citizens. The laws now probably
admit of any citizen or subject of Jap
an coming to this country, as do the
subject of other countries, and becom-
ing citizens of this country under the
naturalization laws. The anneXat on
of Hawaii will not affect this question.

NEW PLAN TO GOVERN ISLAND

HAVANA, (via Key Kest), February
lit was resolved to open negotia-
tons with the insurgents, in the belief
that the revolution could not be sup
pressed by force of arms. Anticipating
thai the insurgents would not accept
the new terms, it was resolved that the
Colonial Government would open ne
gotiations thus saving the Madrid Gov
eminent from the responsibility. The
following propositions will be formally
rendered to the insurgents:
First-The volunteers will be dis
solved and a Cuban militia formed
Second-The insurgent colonies and
generals will be recognized.

only 100,000,G00 out of the S600,000 900
Indebtedness due for both wars.
FOurth-Cuba will pay 100000 a
year for the Crown list.
Fifth-Cuba will make her own trea-
ties, without interference by the Mad
rid Government.
SHth-Spanish products will have
only 10 per cent. margin of protection
over similar pTOuuCLS IOn Olucl OOuu-
tries.
SeVenth-No exiles or deportations
will be made, even in war time, to
Spain, Africa or penal settlements else
where.
Eighth-Death sentences for rebel
lion shall be abolished.
Ninth-Martial law cannot be order
ed by the Captain General without the
assent of both the House and the Sen
ate if those bodies are in session, OF
without the assent of a majority Of
the Cabinet if they are not in session
Tenth-The Archbishop of Santiago
de Cuba shall always be native Gu
ban.
EIeventh-The actual insurgent par
ty shall have three seats in the frs
Cabinet.
Twelfth-An armistice of Is days

Wages Are Raised.

1t comes from San Francisco that the
Shipowners' Association has voluntar-
lily increased the wages of the common
sailors. The association makes the
statement that this is on account Of the
better prices for charters. There is not
as yet expressed any fear on the part of
the owners that there will be scarcity
of men. However, it is likely that there
is anticipation of rushes of sailors and
laborers to the Klondike and to Klon-
dixie Quitting points for shore jobs.
Able seamen on sailing vessels to Ha-
wall and Mexico are hereafter to get
$50 a month.

Claim That II Was Illegally Secured

NEW YORK, February 12.-The
Suns Paris cable from H. R. Chamber
lain says: The point reached tonight
in the trial of lola is a strange para
lOx. 1t is generally admitted the de-
PENDANT has proved his case, yet he
will probably be condemned. Even the
majority of his enemies have been con-
WINGED as much by the silence of the
army authorities when questioned as
by the direct testimony of other wit
nesses that Dreyfus was found guilty
upon evidence secretly submitted to his
judges. 1t is admitted that this is ut
terly illegal, yet public opinion is still
so strongly perverted that this gross
outrage upon the first principles of JUS
lice is openly excused and defended,
and the resentment against lola for
denOuncing the authorities who are
guilty is scarcely lessened. The Incl
dents of the trial should not distract
attention from the astounding crisis
which has seized the public mind of
France and which portends evils and
calamities that none can estimate. The
bald truth is this: 1t is openly admit
ted today that the prisoner on the Isle
dU Diable was illegally condemned,
and the Government had full knowl-
edge of the fact.
