mained stationary since Sunday even- Ing, so that the danger that the place would be overwhelmed appears to have passed.
 When the last train was leaving Bos- cotrecase yesterday a fresh crater opened near the observatory station.
 The quality of ashes and cinders thrown up by Mount Vesuvius yester- day was unprecedented. An analysis showed this discharge to be chiefly composed of iron, sulphur and magne- sia. When dry the whole region seem ed to be under a gray sheet, but now after fall of rain, 1t has taken on the appearance of an immense lake of cho- colate colored mud.
 At many places the people are suffer- ing from panic, and a state of great confusion existed, which was added to by superstition. Some of the parish priests refused to open their churches to people who tried to obtain admit tance, fearing an earthquake would de- stroy the building when full of peo- pie and thus increase the list of dis asters. Crowds of women thereupon attacked the oh hJrches, pulled down the doors and took possession or the pie lures and statues of the saints, which they carried about as protection against death.
 Many people camped along the roads and in the fields outside of Torre An nunziata and Cttajano, where they thought they would be safer than in the towns, defying the clements though nearly blinded by ashes, wet to the skin by the rain, and terrorized by the gigantic, curved, flaming mass above, resembling scimitar ready to fall up- on them.
 Only about 1000 out of about S2,oOo inhabitants of Tore Annunziata dard to remain in the town, which was patrolled by troops.
 The railway trains were delayed to- day owing to the tracks being cover ed with cihders, and telegraphic com munication with all points was badly congested.

cent; frequently, working a traYeSty of justice, as in the Dreyfus case.
 George s. Van Schaik was the second speaker for the affirmative. He stated that statistics for the past year show that times as many capital crimes were committed as 20 years ago, and in the lesser crimes the increase was as great This change in the law is neces- sary to the safeguarding of the com mUnity. He contended that at the present time more care is taken of the individual accused than of the com munity. When the rule barring the ac- cused from the witness stand was put into effect in England over century ago, there were 16S crimes that were punished capitaEly.
 In 1861, Massachusetts passed law permitting the accused to go on the stand and testify for himself, if he so desired. A storm of protest went up all over this country, contending that individual rights were being invaded But in the light of subsequent experl- ence this was a great step in advance in the administration of justice, and the next logical step should now be taken.
 Saul Berman was the second speaker on the negative. He maintained that the proposed law would not aid in the conviction of criminals, for it would open the door for an immense amount of perjury. And in the case of inno- cent men. it is very dangerous to make man stand or fall by his own testi- mony, under circumstances that would be particularly conducive to confusion of the accused, and prejudice against him.
 The reason for the rule originally was and still is that every person should be presumed innocent until found guilty. This great principle took cen- turies to evolve, and should be re- tained, as it is the foundation or our legal system,
 Donald Alexander Mcdonald was the third speaker for the affirmative.
 The state should be given an oppor- tunity to secure evidence and convict the individual criminal, and protect so- ciety, he said.
 The purpose of justice is to learn and know the truth, while the result of si- lence is to hide the truth.
 Edgar LeRoy Pond, the last speaker for the negative, stated that according to tables prepared by Colonel s. s. Nc Clure, the proportion of homicides, per million of population, has increased 1-2 times during the past 20 years.

 In the course of the tour point was reached from which Vesuvius could be seen under its cloud of smoke. The high cone of the volcano has gone all most entirely, having been swallowed up. so that the height of the moun- tain is nearly 500 feet less than for merly. On the north side of the noun tain new eraters have been formed.

MAITLAND PRIZE WINNERS
ANNUAL DEBATIAG CONTEST AT
 TALE LAW SCHOOL.

Excellent Debate by Contestants from
 Yale Kent Cfub--snul Herman of
 Hartford Gets First Prize of s5O-
 Birdsey E. Case Second, and II. A.
 Mcdonald of Seattle Third--Annlysis
 of the Speakers.
 The annual debate for the Wayland prizes by members of the Kent De- batting club of the Yale Law school took place last evening at o'clock in Hendrie hail.
 These annual debates always arouse much interest. Notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather, a large and appreciative audience was present. Frederick Richard Ryan, Yale B. A.. 1901, of the senior class of the Law school, and president of the Kent club, presided. The question for debate was as follows:
 Resolved: That in criminal case the state should be allowed to call the accused as witness and in case of his refusal to testify, to comment there- on."
 | Affirmative-Blrdsey Erskine Case. 1906, New Haven; George Sllngerland Van Schaick, 1907, Cobleskill, N. Y.; Donald Alexander Mcdonald, 1906 Se- attle, Wash.
 Negative-John Raymond Hayes, 1906, South Manchester Conn; Saul Berman, 1908, Hartford; Edgar LeRoy Pond, 1908, Terryville, Conn.
 The judges of the debate were: The Hon. Albert T, Roraback, one of the judges of the Superior court of Con- necticut; the Hon William Fl. Will Hams, states attorney of Connecticut; Harry G. Day, Yale 1890, of the firm of Watrous & Day.
 The Wayland prizes were established in 1890 by the late Francis Wayland who used to be dean of the Yale Law school. The three prizes are of $5O $3t and $20, to be awarded ito those three members of the Yale Kent club who at a public competitive debate, are pro llOullNGu iISt, StCUHu anu bllIla III GA cellence as debaters."
 States Attorney William II. William! announced the decision, stating tha the debate had been of very high de gree of excellence, and that the judge were unanimous in wishing that thert had been six prizes, so that each de batter might have been awarded a prize The successful candidates were:
 Saul Berman, 1st prize.
 Birdsey E. Case, End prize.
 Donald A. McDonald, 9rd prize. : The first speaker on the affirmativt was Birdsey E. Case, who contendet that a century of transformation in tn, administration of the criminal law ha wiped out the reason for the rule per l, hitting the accused to remain silent He stated that the innocent man doe not need this provision of the law t protect him, while the guilty man doe not deserve it.
 John Raymond Hayes, for the mega tive, said that our system of justlc of an enlightened civilization is the re suit of a long evolution. A change o [ the present methods is unWarrantet [ and unnecessary. It should be born in mind that the statistics of the pas year show that IS per cent. of the per |. sons indicted in our country were con victed; and that the detection of crim is now science, The introduction il our country of the proposed change il the rules of evidence would alter ou whole system of law to that in vogu l in France, where a man is presume 5 guilty until he proves himself inno

THE PHILIPPINES BILL

The Philippines tariff bill, passed
by the House. provides that products
OF the archipelago shall be admitted
to the United States free of duty, with
the exception of sugar. tobacco and
rice" These must pay 25 per cent Of
the present Dingley tariff rates
Until April ii. 1909 After which
date there will be free trade both ways
between the republic and the islands
ownsd--or governed? by the re-
public.
The scaling down of the duty will
give the Filipinos a chance to exist.
The Industries which have been prac.
tically stroyed--reduced to small
per cent Of what they we're under
Spanish dominion-will now pick up
to certain extent They are abso-
lutely dependent on the national sense
of decency.
But
If it is fair to establish free trade
in 1909 why Is itaot fair in 1906?
The clause in the Philippine bill
which proides for free trade at fu-
ture cate is a candid admission Of the
justice Of the free trade contention.
II the islands and their inhabitants
are not, in any sense at all, part Of
the United States. it is logical to treat
them as foreigners.
But II they are supposed TO bear
approximately the same relationship
to tho United States as the terri
tories" there is no more logic or JUS
tise ia discriminating against their in
dustries than there would bs against
che industries Of Alaska or Arizona.
The provision for FUTURE free
trade is a frank confession Of this.
Is the administration afraid that TO
do the Filipinos full justice at once
would be TO subject them to such
saddea influx of prosperity that they
couldnt stand IL? Is It necessary to
break it to them by degrees?
