The affirmative dsbaters were. W. ~ Keener,
of Maryland; II. II. Lee, of the District of CoIum-
bia, and W. C. Fulton, OF Virginia. Those who
argued in the negative were C. W Bingham, Of
Alabama; Adam Mciullen, Of Netfaska and A.

judges were the Hon. Thomas Z. Clark, Of Ala.
bama; Hon George Turner. of Washington. and
the Hon. Samuel II. Walker, of fhe District Of
Columbia
The audience large enthusiastic and
each speaker received liberal applause, Mr. Nc
Mullen, however, getting The Hons share
The decision Of the judges was as follows: ''The
whole argument has been very distinct and ably
delivered by each side. The judges are of the
opinion however, that the negative wins As to
the different individual arguments the Judges all
agree that they were all very credtable but like

A NEW GOLD FIELD.
1t Is Located Near Canon City, In
Colorado.


Colorado Springs, Col. Dec f7.-Colo-
RADIO has d new one-day-old gold camp,
Dawson City. 1t is located five miles
southwest of Canon City, on the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad. Throughout
1897, B. T. Dawson, his two sons, d. W.
Bonewitz and ]. b. Hannum, of Canon
City, had been working a mine which
they jocularly called the. Copper King, :"
having found copper where they had
hoped for gold. A week ago, by accident,
Dawson's drill broke through into de-
posit of free gold. Samples assayed as
high as sl6,4ls, the lowest being A,32i
The secret was kept until all the ground
adjoining the mine was staked. Then it
miners came from Cripple Creek, Lead
willie, Colorado Springs and other cities
and mining camps. Everything within
five miles radius was staked.
Today Dawson City was spread out over
a quarter section or more. The mammoth
boarding tent, the saloon. dance-hall and
all the necessary appurtenances of a
boom mining city were there and so were
the people. Others are flocking there.
The Copper King ore assayed is rich
enough to make the mine one of the
wealthiest in the world. The quantity in
the opinion of experts guarantees not only
a great mine but q great camp. A vein
three feet thick is inclosed between n
granite and porphyry wall. The pOrphyry
dyke has been traced seven miles west
from the Copper King. Prospectors say

cALIFoRNIANs STARVING.
Gov. Budd Appealed TO by Citizens
of Lockwood.

Sacramento. Cal, Dec. r.-Gov. Budd
today received an appeal for aid from cit
liens of Lockwood. Monterey County. The
appeal was in the form of a letter drafted
at a mass meeting of citizens. and it de-
clared that unless immediate help was
given many people would die of hunger.
The letter said that scores OF families by
reason of drought had been living on bran
and shorts for many weeks; that their
horses, cattle, hogs and poulty had been
disposed of TO supply necessities. and that
hundreds of cattle had died OF starvation.
The letter also said that those in want
were worthy in every respect. Their un-
fortunate condition was due to drought
alone. Inquiry today showed that the
signers of the letter were all reputable
people, many of ample means until the
drought of last year, which ruined the
crops. II has been so dry this year in
Monterey County that cattle have had no
pasturage and wheat could not be sown.
In many cases cattle have had 10 be sold
for the mere value of their hides. as hay
is too dear TO buy. The State will proba-

suit brought Against the Presby
terian Board of Relief.

terfan board OF Relief.
+ Cyrus Mantz yesterday filed suit in tho
Supreme Court of the District against
George Junkin, Charles Barclay and the
Presbyterian Board of Relief for dis
abled ministers. asking that the order of
court in reference to the sale of certain
mentioned trustees be enjoined from
further action in the matter
The property in question consists of the
three brown-stone front buildings on the
west side OF Fourteenth Street, just
north of Yale Street, formerly occupied
by the Chinese Legation, and the suit is
the outcome of business transaction
between Mr.. Mantz and his wife and
Messrs. Junkin and Barclay. acting as
trustees for the Presbyterian board of re-
lief.
In 1894 Mr.. Mantz and his wife borrowed
from Messrs. Junilin and Barclay $4,000.
which was secured by deed of trust on
the property mentioned. The loan was
payable within four years, but at the end
of that time there was still a balance
due. and Mr.. and Mrs. Mantz increased
their Indebtedness by an additional loan
of 5000 in October, 1885, When the in
terest upon these loans was not paid the
trustees advertised the property for sale
on November lS On account of the
weather. the sale was postponed to De-
cember ], but at that time was again
postponed. On that day, however. the
plaintiff Mr.. MantZ, alleges that the
trustees attempted to sell the property
for $50. 00O. which, he says is only about
one-half its value. He also claims that

THE NEW ARMY BILL.
Chairman HILLS Committee Will
Report II on Wednesday.


The hearings on the army reorganiza-
were concluded yesterday with the testi-
mony of Surgeon General Sternberg and
Chief of Engineers Wilson.
The committee will consider the bill by
sections on Monday and will report it TO
the House on Wednesday. There will be
two reports on the bill, one by the ma
jority, favoring the Huh bill nearly as it
stands, and the other by the Democratic
minority, favorng the perpetuauon of
the present army of 81, coo in numbers.
The changes recommended in the ma
jority report will be largely verbal, but
will probably include some increase in the
Quartermaster generals, judge advocates,
commlssary generals, and inspector gen.
erals departments. and will almost GER
tainly define the duties of the last named,
preventing the recurrence of Its recent
disestablishment al the will of the adju-
tant general. The proposed change in the
artillery organization will most likely be
abandoned and the regimental form ad-
here 10.
Gen. Sternberg, surgeon general of the
army, appeared at the morning session
yesterday. In answer TO questions he sad
that there had been grave cause for COM
plant of his department during the war
but he ascribed this wholly TO his lack of
sufficient experienced officers.
Except at Santiago. where the medical
| stores were not landed, all complaints
came from volunteers. On Mr.. Hay ask
ing who was TO blame for the failure TO
land stores, Gen. Sternberg answered as
follows:
THE military situation was to blame
for 1t. II was absolutely necessary to
land the men and the food. The beach
was small and few transports could land
at the same time. These transports might
have been held until they had unloaded
their medical supplies, but they We're sent
away to bring re-enforcements or some
thing of the sort, and many never landed
these
who ordered thisH Did Gen. Shaftero''
asked Mr.. Hay.
He was in command" replied Gen.
| Sternberg. THE orders must have come
| from the quartermaster' department
| but must have originated with Gen. Shaf-
ter The military situation may have
| justified this. / can easily conceive of a
situation where it would do so. Every
| thing must yield to the military necessi-
| ties of the case
Questioned further, Gen. sternberg
agreed that the management of the
transport service was very remarkab e.
Gen Sternberg stated that the medical
establishment had been inadequate ever
in times of peace. Now it was proposed
to multiply the army by four and the
medical corps by less than two. He
thought that It should be increased a
least three times.
Speaking Of "immunes,'' Gen Sternberf
said that second attacks of yellow fever
/ were very rare, unless the subject moved
! North and remained there for long
| time.
At the afternoon session Gen. Wilson
chief of engineers. said that he was sat
isfed with the bill as far as it concerne,
his department, except for certain
changes in regard to rank, the bill no
giving his corps as high rank as it ha
| now.
