INTERSTATE BEBATES
Kansas Favors Reciprocity and Col
orado will Oppose Municipaliza
tion of Stroot Railways
Missouri Decides.
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

Cream and Chas. 1. Taybr will havo

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
