What will be the question for No hniRka'B debate with Kansas, and which Rld'i Ncbrarska will support in the Colorado and Kansas debates, the debating board learned yester day. Kamas has taken t lie, Urina tive of the followig question sub mitted by Nebraska: Resolved. That the United States should by appro priate tho concessions in hei tarilT duties, extend her export trade'and cultivate amity with other nations." Cilom has taken tho jiegative of the municipal transportation ques tion which reads as follows: "Resolv ed, That American municipalities of over 100,000 population should own and operate surface transporta tion facilities." To these Questions the Colorado and Kansas people agreed without .Sampson sent a message to Washing delay. Negotiations were carried "ii who really should have been super iors. The substance of Mr. Jones' talk on the Court of Inquiry, the, causes leading up to it, and its findings, is as follows: Schley was at Cienfuegos and Sampson was at the other end of the island; h.ith wero looking for Cervera's lleet. Schley was ordered to Santiago hut delayed his going be eausehe did not think that Cervera was In that neighborhood. When hedid ( linally start and was well on the way he decided to turn back toward Key West aqd had actually turned his lleet when ho was overtaken by a trans port with orders for him to proceed with all haste to Santiago. He then went to Santiago as quickly as possi ble and Sampson arrived a few days later and took command. The battle of Santiago occured while Sampson was absent at a conference. Schley commanded the lleet. At the begin ning of tho battle he made a loop with the Brooklyn which endangered tho Texas. The next day, .July 1. more rapidly than heretofore by means or the new arrangements suggested by Nebraska. Instead of Nebraska sending Kansas, lor example, live questions from which Kansas should choose one and then have the Chan cellor of the University of Missouri assign sides by nipping a coin the old plan -instead of this Nebraska suggested I hat she send Kansas one question giing Kansas choice ol sides. Colorado also adopted this plan, the procedure followed in the inter collegiate debates by Harvard, Yale. Princeton, l'ennsylvanla. Michigan, ( 'ornell, etc. , Missouri still insists on the. "llip coin" plan. As the matter now stands skies on the Missouri debate will be decided by Chancellor Snow of Kansas a month before the debate which will take place at Columbia, ' probably on May ii.To hurry Missouri to decision as to tho question before I he Christmas recess, Nebraska made the very fair olTe.r of choice of sides on any and all of three ques tions she submitted to t he Missoun- ans. Tho wording ot the Missoun-Ne-brabka uuestion is linally settled. After refusing the reciprocity ques tion (accepted at once atterwards by Knasas) which Nebraska includ ed in tho list It sent back to Missouri when her list or questions, none of which the Debating Hoard regarded as quite satisfactory, was brecelved, after refusing this question, Missouri did notagree wth Nebraska on the desirability of limiting the discussion, to "American" cltios and to "surface" transportation. Mis souri has now agreed, however, that such limitation Is desirable. ton, "The lU-et under 'my command has sunk the enemy'sjleet." This caused great indignation among the friends of Schley, but Schley said "There is glory enough to go round." This remark made him the idol of the people but did not lessen the an tagonism against him among the oMI- cers of the navy. Affair stood thus when the third voluinn of McClay's Naval History appeared in which the author lound fault with Schley's actions berore and during the battle of Santiago, and called linn a cur, a coward and a t raitor. Schley though! this unjust anil as ked for a court of itniuiry which should investigate matters. A court was appointed with Admiral Dewey at its head, which lound that Schley's actions could not be ap proved. He was censured for his delay olT Cienfuegos, for turning back on tho way to Santiago and for en dangering the safety of the Texas in the battle. Other things wore charg ed against him. With a view of stopping the controversy at-, this point, as he claimed, Admiral Dewey added a clause to the effect, W.O. JONES DISCUSSES SCHLEY Will Owen Jones spoke at convoca tion yeBterday on tho bchley Court of Inquiry and its findings. DJe gavo a short sketch of tho lives of both Schley and Sampson and stated that at the beginning of the Spanish-American war they were hoth placed over tuo heads of men that Schley was in command at Santiago and should have, tho cred it for the victory . Schley promptly appealed the de cision. ' The appeal was denied. Secretary Long approved the lind ings of the court with tho excep tion of the last clause. When Roosevelt became president the caso was carried to hliiiandJio has promised to look Into It. Mr. Jones believes that it has been clearly proved that Admiral Schley is a bravo man of action who was led into disobedience by an Inordinate- desire to whip tho Spanish without the aid of- anyTadrnlral on earth. PAPERS UNITE Scarlet and Cream and Daily Ne braskan Consolidate Will bo Is suod Horoafter Under tho Latter Name. By the action of t ho Scarlet and Cream Association last Tuesday afternoon In acct ptlng the'proposltlon submlttd to It by tho Hesperian Pubihhinu Company, tho publica tion of the Scarlet and Cream will now ceaso and the Dally Nebraskan will from . now on be gotten out by tho combined staffs of the above named papers. For some, time the advisability of combining has been under discussion. To most students and processors It as been apparent that tho journalistic, field In the University has been overcrowded, and that there has been a needless waste of energy In tho publicat ions of these .two paners. Bearing this feeling in mind and after giv ing the matter due consideration It has been agreed by the Hesperian Publishing Company and Scarlet and Cream Association, that theSearlct and Cream cease publication, that the stalls of the two papers be combined and one good University paper bo published whoso aim it shall be to be thoroughly representative of all Interests in this institution, the organ of no clique or class hut with a definite policy ol its own. The combination Is elTected by a mutual agreement and is accom panied by equal com promises on each sine. The, Scarlet and Cream leaves the weekly field with the reeling that its elTorts have not, been unfruitrul ami that its Influence in this Institu tion has been for tho ad vancement of University interests. Yet during the past semester it has been con clous of the overcrowded condition or the "newspaper Held and of the desirability of having one a strictly University paper to take care or the University Interests. With this In view tho two papers have ellected a combination w hereby the stalls of the two papers jshall tie combined after each has undergone some revisions. With the increased stall it is hoped that the Daily will be able to furnish Its leaders with more and better read ing matter. While it is not expect ed that tho weekly publication can THREE CENTS R. W. Harbor former Editor-Inch ler of the Scarlet and Cream will hold the samo position on tho Dally Nebraskan. Sterling McCaw will retain his position as Managing Editor, whllo Chas. E. Wells formor business manager of the Scarlet and Cream and Chas. 1. Taybr will havo chargo of the business management. Tho coltorial boards will bo changed somewhat bv dropping sift'li students as havo failed to materialize in their newspaper work, and by further ad ding others who havo shown anility In this line. Tho reportorlal staff will bo combined which gives tho paper the bonellt of all workdonc In tho journalism class. With tho new combination ano ar rangement there is every reason to believe that a strictly first class ana thoroughly representative paper can bo published; that the student body will bo brought into closer sym pathy with the paper and that from now on it will, have the undivided support of both the studontB and professors. A set of duplicate specimens select ed from the Morrill geological collec tion and sent by Miss Edith Wobstcr to Vassar College during tho holidays, has boon approved for purohaso by the President. Ten or twelve similar collections havo been sent during the semester and as yet none havo been returned, the material in each caso being so excellent and unique as to lead to Immediate purchase. Tho Daily desirea to call the utton tion of HtudontB and faculty to itn nown box in University hall. The box ifl lo cated near tho fuculty bulletin board and iB intended as a roceptuclo for auch nowH and noted aB niav bo of gen eral interoflt. Tho mombiTB of tho fac ulty are requoatod to contribute itelUB of interest concerning their departments and to muko uao of tho Daily as a ini'iuiH of making annouueomonta to Ihoir classes.

Tho publishers or tho paper aim to add, rrom time to time, new and at tractive features and to publish special issues on suitable occasions. The regular subscribers of tho Scarlet and Cream will, from now on, receive the dally Issues of the Nebraskan and there is every reason to believe that tho new arrange merits will bo entirely acoeptablo to them. Tho new combination will bo a consolidation of The Hesperian, Vol. XXXI . Tho Nebraskan. Vol. XI Tho Scarlet and Cream, Vol. II. As stated abovo the staffs of the two papers havo been combined. The merit system, however, will prevail in tho matter of regulation for work done on tho paper. Tho January number of tho Chal lenge has appeared In the library. Tho editor, II. Gaylord WIlBhiro, thinks bo has boon Imposed on by tho United btates Postal authorities and has moved bis headquarters to Toronto, uanada. Mr Shead lias announced to tho short story seminar that tho class will have no examination, the nature of tho work being such that no ex amination is required.
