DANGERS OF THE CLIMATE

SAN FRANCISCO. June 21.-Dr. Charles
A. McQuesten. who was on the staff of
Gen. z. : otis and who was health officer
at Manila has returned home. invaded by
the climate.
Capt McQuesten made close study of
the conditions of the Philippine situation
He is of the opinion that it will take from
10000 to 10000 soldiers to properly sub
due and hold the islands He also says that
the peace commission was an absolute fall
ure and that it's work from the start was
without effect He strongly supports the
military government of the islands, except
that he thinks more men will be necessary
than has been estimated.
DIR. Schurman knows that the commits
sion is a failure. and is coming home In
July" added Capt. MeQuesten.
Enemy is Aggressive.
Unless troops. thousands OF them, are
sent TO the aid of our men there they will
be driven back into Manila in the course of
the next few months during the rainy sea-
son. Our men simply cannot stand the eli
mate. Fifty per cent of them will be in
capacitated by sickness, and the territory
overrun will have to be abandoned, and
Manila will be in a state of siege again.
"Our officers and soldiers have accom-
plished wonders, and have proved them
selves the best soldiers in the world, but
nothing decisive has come of 1t, because
our men were not IN great enough force.
One of the great dangers that our men
have TO face is the climate. The new
corners Will be at a disadvantage. because
the volunteers who are returning home are
Injured to the climate. This will make more
men necessary than we would otherwise
have to put in the field. As matter of be-
lief. the Filtpinos think they have the
Americans licked already

The presiding officer Samuel j. Elder The
Judges decided the debate after few minutes of
elaboration.
The Princeton speakers based their arguments
on the question OF suzerainty, as found In the
yentlons made between England and the Transvaal.
Harvard did not directly meet this, but Mayer, in
his rebuttal scored a point when he showed that
Princeton had not even defined the word suzerainty
The Harvard men, on the other hand asserted that

country had a moral and actual right to protect
her citizens, who, Princeton did not deny were
treated contrary 10 justice. The moral obligations

Princeton men did. Mayer. who took Kirtland's

show ed considerable power OF oratory and received
the most applause of the evening. Weston was the
most dangerous man. from the Harvard point or
view, on tho Princeton team.

OBJECTIONS IN THE RECORDERS COURT

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I read with deep interest your article Of
December 10 on Recorder COTS arbitrary exercise
OF judicial power in excluding from his court rec
ord all objections TO testimony made by counsel
for the defendant. who IS charged with a capital
crime. but who must, IN law, be regarded as limo
cent until proved guilty Such extraordinary rul-
ing seems TO the lay mind both unfair and unjust
toward the defendant. Besides. in case Of APP
peal, all the proceedings Of the Recorders court
will be absolutely required. In the Lizzie Borden
case the Court prosecutor and defendants coun-
eel were all alike engaged in an endeavor to find
the exact truth TO her innocence or guilt
il will be a sad day for justice in New-York when
the District Attorneys office shall be used 10
convict the accused. whe her innocent guilty,
for the sake OF the distinction it will give the pros
ecuting officer; but sadder still will be the day
when any court of this proud city shall manifest
the shadow Of leaning toward so wicked and am
bilious design. L leave your readers to judge
whether not that day has already come. -
