The third annual Üniversity debate held last evening in the law lecture room resulted in the choice of F. P. Sadier, '95 lit, of Grove City, 11!. ; J. V. Oxtohy, '95. láw, of Iowa; and C. F. Kimball, '95 law, of AJamosa, Iowa, to represent the Üniversity in the intercollegiate contest vvith Northwestern, to be held either in Chicago or Evanston on April 26. Sadier made 548 points out of a possible 600, Oxtoby suored 541 and Kimball 540. U. G. Yogan, Webster opened the debate for the affirmative on the question, "Resolved, that the United States should construct the Nicaragua canal." He considered the nature of the enterprise and its importance, arguing that tlie government can consistently exercise control over the canal. His argument was especially good, but the taarkings show bioi to be deficiënt in delivery. W. H. Wilcox, Adelphi, opened the negative part of the debate. He argued that no nation has exclusive interest in the canal, henee none ought to have exclusive control. Edmon Block, Alpha Nu, said for the affinnative that the canal might be neutral and this government still control it. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty, he said, had been violated and henee was void. T. J. Crosby, Jeffersonian, spoke for the negative, saying that the cost would be out of proportion to the benefit. The commerce there is uöcertain. Mr. Crosby's delivery was good. F. W. Newton, Adelphi, spoke next for the afllrmative. His delivery was not so good as that of some of the others. He said that it was in accord anee with American policy. The people favored the plan. J. V. Oxtoby, JeiFersonian, spoke negatively of the failure of other like schemes. We should have to occupy a position analogous to Great Britaiu in Egypt. His delivery was good. C. F. Kiinball. Webster, closed the affirmative witli a fine speech. With a rnap he showed liow easily the canal can be built a ml showed the iniportance both in war and in peace. F. P. Sadler, Alpha Nu, was the last negative speaker. He declared the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in force. He dwelt especially upon the complications that would result. The markings of the judges are given below : The Phi Chi fraternity of the pharmacy department gave au unusually pleasant spread at their fraternity house on Volland street last night. Fully thirty-five guests were present, including Dean Prescott, and Profs. Stevens, Gomberg and Schlotteibeck. Prettynian did the catering and supplied an excellent menu. The Phi Chi boys played several guitar and banjo selections, and Cari Jones rendered a trombone solo. Papers relating to pharmaceutical and cliemical subjects were read by Messrs. Taylor, Abbott and Hitchcock. A very pleasant evening was spent. PRESIDENTIAL BEBS ARE BUZZIKG. Prospecte are good now for as hot a fight for the presidency oí the League of Republican College Clubs as took place last year. There are three candidates in the lield now, Vaughan of Chicasro, Henningof Wisconsin, and a '"dark horse" from Michigan, understood to be a man Erom Kalamazoo College now on the executive committee, who wiü probably withdraw at the last moment in favor of Henning. ïheodore Cox, the president, h;s positively refused to stand for reelection, but, with the votes of fourteen New York colleges he will huid the key to the situation. Harvard will present no candidate this year. At present it looks as if Vauglian would be indorsed by the Harvard delegates, and that Harvard will secure the place on the executive eommittee of the National Republican League from the college league.
