Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 49, Once

debating record with Princeton uni
versIty by defeating that university In
Sanders theatcr last night. Her de-
baters had what was generally consld-
cred the harder side of the question,
and accordingly Harvard Is wild with
delight over the signal triumph Ct her
team. The decision was based upon
the merits of the speaking and on the
force of the arguments, leaving out
entirely the merits Of the question.
The question was: Resolved. that
England's claims In the present con-
troversy with the South African re-.

Berlin. Dec. 16.-Emperor William's
Intention to withdraw Major Baron
Won 6uesskind, German military at
tache In Paris, ~ cabled some time
ago. has Just been carried out. The
event Is considered Of prime import
ance. His majesty had become thor
cughly disguised with the attacks and
insinuations of the Paris press regard
ing the activity Of the German mill
tary attaches and with the numerous
private and Official reports which had
reached him on the subject, bearing
out, partially at least, the newspaper
charges.
His keen sense of honor was arous-
ed. especially as he considers that Ger
man officers. who are popularity re-
garded by their countrymen as above
reproach in military matters, ought
not to be expected to furnish to the
home government information incon-
sistent with nice sense of honor. THIS
view the emperor wants practically
borne out. He met with determined
opposition on the part OF some Of his
principal military advisers, but succeed
ed In having his own way. It goes
without saying that the Dreyfus affair
was the immediate cause Of the order
OF withdrawal.

been raised as to whether William v.
Allen, appointed senator from this
state. can he seated. The contention
Of some is that Hayward never having
taken his seat the whole matter is in
the same position as in q state where
the legislature failed to- elect. The
question is said to iaves occasioned
Hayward considerable worfy&efore his
death. Several lawyers wefe of the
opinion that, the legislature having
made an election. the failure of the
person elected TO qualify would not
deprive the state of right of representa-
ton. Others Of equal prominence were
in doubt about It.
