NO DEBATE WITH SYRACUSE.
Wesleyan Accuses Sister University
 of Discourteous Conduct.

Middletown, April 9.-By a unan- imous vote the undergraduates of Wesleyan university severed all de- bate relations between Wesleyan and Syracuse. The action was the out come of the recent debate the two colleges at Syracuse. Syracuse won by vote of two to one of the judges, but the Wesleyan management claim that Syracuse directly violated the debate contest. inasmuch as the third judge was chosen by Syracuse with out the knowledge or consent of Wes- leyan's president, which is absolutely forbidden in the contract.
 The Wesleyan management fur ther alleges discourteous and unbusi- nesslike treatment on the part of Syracusefi inasmuch as important letters and telegrams for the local debating society were allowed to re- main unanswered. A copy of the resolutions cancelling all debate re lations between the two universities will be sent to Syracuse signed by R. s. Curtice. yiee-president of the Wes- leyan Debating society, R. g. Nun son and R. w. Rice. respectively president and secretary-treasurer of the college body.

OFFICERS EXAMINED
Back 10 Their Desks Yesterday
 Like Lot of Scboolboys.

The members of the police force who took the examination yesterday afternoon in the high school wonder what questions they would be asked if they were candidates for the post of superintendent of police. Some of them were asked such a problem as this, How much do three and five figure up?" They were glad that they were not asked such @ question as Attorney Cole asked in the probate court the other dayi If it takes four sharks six days to eat up whale, how long will it take two lawyers, two administrators and a trustee to eat up an estate of $25,- 000?" MT Cole was one of the lawyers involved in his own ques- tion.
 The examination reminded many of the cops of their blissful school days. They were seated at desks with pen and paper and some had their coats off and their shirt sleeves rolled up, and one or two would have rolled up the legs of their pants but they remembered where they were. The examination pertained to local geography, the character of the municipal government, how many city officers there are. The candidates for the position of DO. lice sergeant were John J. Bowling Timothy J. Hickey. James D. Hal pin, John Cavanaugh, Finton Tehar and John J. Rergin.
 The following were the candi. dates for the four vacancies on the regular police force: John Dele hanty, PA East Main street; Tim. othy Donahue. "A Fuller street; Charles E. Gallagher, 259 Bishop street; Thomas Grady. 767 Baldwin street; Chris Harmon, 63 Ridge street; P. F. Horan, 143 Scovill street; NJ. J.
