Movements of Interest Among the Several Local Schools, The long-looked-forward-to first joint de- bate between the debating societies of Co- lumbian and Georgetown law schools will take place next Wednesday. evening in the hall of the Columbian University. As stated previously, the subject of the de- bate will be, “Resolved, That the Chinese shall be excluded.” Columbian University Law School will be represented by Messrs. B. H. Taylor, A. V. Taylor and E. C. Molby and will uphold the affirmative side of the question. Georgetown University Law School will be represented by Messrs. John J. Dolan, Patrick H. O'Donnell and Carlon. All of the men above mentioned are well qualified to intelligently and effectively ar- gue their respective sides, and a closely contested fight is to be expected, Officers Elected. At the meeting of the Debating Society of Columbian Law School the elec- tion of officers for the ensuing term was held. The candidates for the presidency of the society were Messrs. Thos. Gresham and A. V. Taylor. The first ballot revealed a tie vote and consequently no choice resulted. A second ballot showed a majority. for Mr. Gresham, and he wa declared elected. Mr. J. P. Stewart was elected vice president; Mr. Sayre, secre- tary; Mr. A. D. Spangler, treasurer, and Mr. Brainard Avery, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee. The society then pro- ceeded to ballot for debaters to represent them in the second of the series of joint debates with the Debating Society of Georgetown Law School. A number of nominations were made, but the following were chosen on the first ballot: Mr. H. J. Taylor of the post graduate class, Mr. P. C. Cox of the senior class and Mr. Brainard Avery of the junior class. The Debating Society of the Georgetown University Law School held its semi-annual election of officers on Friday evening last. Mr. John J. Dolan was elected president; Mr. Sheehe, vice president, and Mr. Ryan, secretary. On Tuesday evening the post graduate class at Georgetown met for the purpose of electing debaters to represent them in the remaining joint debates with the students of Columbian Law School. Mr. Langley was chosen to represent the post graduates in the decond joint debate and Mr. DU. M. Kellogg in the third. The senior class at Georgetown have se- lected Mr. J. S. Rogers to represent them in the second joint debate. Debates Arranged. The senior class at Howard University Law School {s preparing for a joint debate between the students of the law department and the students of the collegiate depart- ment of Howard University. On Wednesday next the moot court will try a case in which an indorser on a prom- issory note is sued. Mr. E. E. Wilson will appear for the defendant and. Mr. Simmons for the plaintiff. The students at Howard are looking for- ward to the examinations, which are sdon to begin. This species of anticipation is somewhat different, however, from that which one experiences when visions of a summer vacation pass through his mind. There were some changes in the schedule at Columbian last week, which were, how- ever, for that week only. Mr. Justice Brewer lectured on Thurs- day evening and Mr. A. S. Worthington on Friday evening. —— The Speed of the Lengthened Gun- boats, Calculations have been made at the Navy Department as to the effect of the proposed lengthening of the gunboats Machias and Castine on the speed of those vessels. it has been decided that the vessels must be lengthened in order to insure their sta- biltty. The calculations show that the change will make very little difference in the matter of speed. The horse power now required to give eight knots speed per hour would give the vessels 7.65 knots at the increased length. At the horse power now required to drive the vessels 14.5 knots an hour the loss in speed at the increased length would be one-fourth of a knot. The plan proposed by the stability board is by no means an_ experiment. It has been tried before with success. ————_+-e+—___ Intertor Department Changes.

BEGINNING THE CAMPAIGN EARLY Contest for the Democratic Nomi- nation. A LIVELY CANVASS ASSURED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 13, 1804. ‘The campaign of 1894 in Alabama is now well open. Two prominent democrats have formally announced themselves as candi- dates for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. They are Mayor Joseph Rich of Mobile and Capt. Joseph F. Johnston of Birmingham. They are both in the race, their friends say, to the finish. It is ex- pected that Col. William C. Oates, Con- gressman from the third district, will form- ally announce his candidacy in a few days, as it is known that his friends have brought great pressure to bear upon him to make a positive declaration that he is in the race. Col. Oates, while he has all along been looked upon by his friends and admirers as a candidate, has been cau- tious himself to make no positive an- nouncement that he was such. He has only said that he would accept the nomi- nation were it tendered him by the demo- cratic party. His friends feel sure that the nomination is his if he but announces his candidacy, but it is said they have discovered that Col. Oates’ silence on that point has been construed by many to mean that he does not desire the nomination, and will there- fore not be a candidate. It is probable that Judge William Rich- ardson of Huntsville, a distinguished North Alabama democrat, will also soon enter the race for the gubernatorial nomination. He has a large following among Tennessee valley democrats, but owing to the fact that he comes from a remote section of the state, he is looked upon more in the light of a possibility than a probability. This same rule applies to Mayor Rich of Mobile, who is an avowed candidate. He is a leader among young democrats in extreme South Alabama, but his leader- ship does not extend beyond his immediate section of the state. The Fight for the Nomination. The real contest for the nomination lies between Col. Oates and Capt. Johnston. The withdrawal of either would undoubted- ly mean the nomination of the other. With both im the race, the contest will be a lively one, and the race very interesting and close. Capt. Johnston was a candidate for the nomination in 1890, when, by a combination of forces with Richardson, Crook and Jones, the last-named was nominated over Kolb, who was. up to that time, the strongest man in the race, but lacked a dozen dele- gates having enough to nominate him. Next to Kolb, Capt. Johnston was the strongest man, but Jones had to be select- ed in order to defeat Kolb, as ail of Jones’ delegates were instructed to vote for Kolb on second choice, and had Jones withdrawn from the race in favor of Johnston or any- body else his strength would have gone to Kolb, and the latter would have received the democratic nomination. The combina- tion was made to defeat Kolb, and on that account the Kolb men delight in referring to Governor Jones as “his accidency.” Until very recently, when assurances have been received that Col. Oates will positively enter the race, Capt. Johnston has, to all appearances, “had the call” on the nomination. He stands nearer the Jef- fersonian democrats or Kolb wing of the party than any other prominent democrat- ic leader, and it has been argued that were he nominated, as he is an anti-Cleveland and free silver man, and coincides, to a great extent, in his views on national issues with the Kolb faction, a great many Kolb men could be induced to vote for him. Johnston, a few days ago, declined re- election as president of the Alabama Na- tional Bank pf this city, of which institu- tion he has een the head for years, in or- der to devote all his time to his canvass for governor. He is a very active political worker, and was, at one time, chairman of the state democratic campaign committee. His free-silver anti-Cleveland views are a drawing card among the alliance m sis also his hearty indorsement of an income tax. Should he get the nomination, he would undoubtedly make serious inroads into Kolb’s ranks on account of these prin- ciples, Many democrats contend that as the race between the regular democratic nomi- nee, whoever he may be, and Kolb is sure to be very close, with the chances, perhaps, favoring Kolb's election, it is the duty of the democrats to nominate a man who, on | account of his views on the issues of the day, can draw largest from Kolb’s strength, and thus be able to save democracy from defeat. It is set forth that Capt. Johnston is the man who can do this. Col. Oates’ candidacy is being pushed by the old line democrats, that is, the admin- istration faction of the party, those who favor Cleveland and are opposed to free silver and the like. The Montgomery Ad- vertiser, the leading morning newspaper in Alabama, is the champion of this fac- tion, who are termed the “in: Col. Oates is an uncompromising democrat, and if he is nominated the fight will not be on a conciliatory line, as it would be were Johnston the nominee, but will be war to the knife between the regular democrats and the Kolb wing. The alliance, which makes up the principal part of Kolb’s fol- lowing, has fought Col. Oates bitterly, and he has returned the compliment oy de- nouncing some of their leaders in his dis- trict In bitter terms. Begin: = the Fight Early. ‘The democratic leaders have determined not to be behind their opponents in open- ing up the campaign. The Kolbites and populites will hold their state conven- tion in Birmingham on the 8th of next month. Chairman Smith of the democratic committee has called a meeting of that body for Montgomery on the 22d instant to decide upon a time and place for holding the regular democratic convention. As the election does not occur until the first Mon- day in August, it has been the custom of the party heretofore not to hold the state convention until early in June. But as the contest this year will be the bitterest ever known, both sides have determined to open the battle in order to present the issues well to the people. Therefore, the demo- cratic convention will pzobably be held during the latter part of March or early |in April. This is the opinion of Chairman Smith. It is a foregone conclusion that the con- vention of Kolbites and populites, which meets here February 8, will nominate Kolb for governor, with the same ticket that ran with him in 1892. County conventions of the Jeffersonian democrats, as the Kolb wing call themselves, are being held now in all parts of the state. In every instance the delegates are being instructed to vote for Kolb and the old ticket. The county conventions of the populists are taking similar action. The Kolb faction of the democratic party an@ the populists pooled issues last November, when the execu- tive committees of the two parties met here, agreed upon a basis of co-operation, if not actual amalgamation, and called the joint state convention referred to above to be held in Birmingham February 8, to put out a joint state ticket. The Kolbites and populites are already raking a very active canvass of every nook and corner of the state. They have, in fact, been holding cross roads’ meetings and going from one farm house to another in their zeal for Kolb’s candidacy for the past three months. Their leaders declare that they have raised $150,000 as a fund with which to conduct their campaign. Some of the most fiery of these leaders de- clare further that they propose to buy $10,000 worth of rifles and ammunition with which to protect the poles on election day and see that they get a fair count. They are desperately in earnest, as their every action indicates. Capt. Kolb himseif is on the move all the time, always confident of success. He vis- its the small towns and out-of-the-way places, where he denounces the democratic party for alleged fraud, abuses Cleveland for his financial policy and tells how he himself has been “swindled of the govern- orship” on two different occasions. Kolb never loses an opportunity to attend the big Farmers’ Alliance meetings and picnics, where he is the guest of honor and the hero of the hour among the “wool hats.” Some of his speeches contain much “red pepper.” He openly announces that anoth- er attempt by the democrats to “swindle him out of the governorship,” as he calls it, will be met with bloodshed. He declares that if he gets a fair count this time he will be elected by from 50,000 to 75,000 majority. P. G. Bowman, Kolb's first lieutenant, has recently been to New York, where, it is re- ported, he made financial arrangements for the conduct of Kolb’s campaign. He was absent several weeks, and the report got abroad that Bowman went to Lombard street, London, in this connection. How and what financial arrangements were made the Kolb men will not tell. What the Re; licans Will Do. The republicans, that is, the white repub- licans, will, it is now believed, support Kolb. The party leaders, it is said, agreed to this in November last, when the various com- mittees of the anti-democratic forces met here. The agreement of the republicans is said to have been based on the promise of the Kolbites to help support republicans for minor county and legislative offices in lo- calities where the republicans are strongest. This did not seem to meet the approval of ‘@ wing of the republican party Jed by Ed- mund Morton Smith of Cullman. These disaffected republicans held a con- ference and denounced the action of Chair- man Moseley in endeavoring to have the party support Kolb. They also recommend- ed that straight-out state and congressional tickets be put in the field. The disaffected leaders held another meeting recently, and it is believed they were a) as they have called a conference of republicans to be held here on February 8, the same day that the Kolb-Populite convention meets. Democrats are much encouraged over the report that Senators Morgan and Pugh, as well as other members of the Alabama dele- gation in Congress, will come to the rescue and stump Alabama for the regular democ- racy, a thing which neither Morgan or Pugh did in the campaigns of 1802. As the free silver views of the two Senators as well as those of several Alabama Congress- men coincide with those held by the Kolb men, it is hoped by the democrats that the Congressional orators will have a wide in- fluence for democracy in this state. —~——_ GREATLY TO HIS CREDIT. That Judge Long Can Earn a Living, Says Judge Bradley. As stated in Saturday’s Star, Judge Bradley on that day delivered his long- awaited opinion in the matter of the peti- tion of Judge Chas. D. Long of Michigan, for a mandamus compelling the commission- er of pensions to vacate his order of Sep- tember last, suspending the pension of Judge Long, sustaining the contention of the petitioner that the order of suspension was not authorized by law. The order of suspension, said Judge Brad- ley, was made in September last without any notice to Judge Long and without giv- ing him any opportunity to defend himself against the implied charge against him. Since the case had been argued and sub- mitted the commissioner of pensions had filed @ supplementary answer, in which he seemed to intimate that no further proceed- ings were necessary, because of a clause in a deficiency bill approved last month, which applied to such cases. The proper method, however, Judge Bradley stated, would have been for the commissioner to have answered — he had vacated the complained of order. He had failed to so show, continued Judge Bradley, and there was nothing left for the court to do but to decide the case as if no such supplemertary answer had been made. One of the contentions of the respondent, the commissioner of pensions, the court ex- plained, was that the mandamus was not the proper remedy, but that point, Judge Bradley thought, was not well taken. It was true that the authofities held that a mandamus would not lie where the matter at issue was a question of the judicial dis- cretion of the party against whom it was directed. But, said Judge Bradley, that was not the question at issue in the present case. The law regulated the granting of pensions, and it appeared that Judge Long secured his rating according to law. The respondent had contended that the in- juries of Judge Long were not such as to entitle him to the pension he enjoyed; that he was not incapacitated from earning a good living. But, remarked Judge Bradley, where a pensioner by reason of his energy and brains was enabled to earn an indepen- dent living it was greatly to his credit, and it afforded no ground for a suspension of his pension. Provided, of course, that pension was legally obtained and legally granted. There could be, decided Judge Bradley, no batting the case subsequently from ‘one commissioner back to another, and in that way subsequently questioning the legality of the rating after it had been ly law- fully passed on. It was true, said Judge Bradley, that there were cases where the commissioner of pensions was authorized to make medicai biennial or more frequent examinations of the disabilities of the pensioners, but the law clearly failed to authorize such exami- nations in those cases where the disabilities had been previously determined to be per- oe — ot Congress neither intended or author useless, foolish ecessary examinations. re: In conclusion, Judge Bradley stated that he was clearly of the opinion that the order of suspension made by the commissioner of pensions was authorized neither by the law or facts in the case, and that the petition of the relator, Judge Long, should be granted. But, explained Judge Bradley, inasmuch as the commissioner of pensions in his supple- mentary answer had stated that he has re- voked the order of suspension, and directed the payment, no demurrer would issue Ppro- vided the commissioner filed with the clerk of the court a certification of that fact. The costs, however, would have to be paid by the dent, the commission: > pe the meg issioner of pen. “+o. Not Entitled to Pay. ‘The second controller of the treasury has decided that Cadets C. H. Conrad and L. H. Bash of the Military Academy are not entitled to pay while whder suspension on the report of the court-martial by which they were tried and sentenced to dismissal from the service. The sentence was com- muted to suspension. The second controller concludes his review of the case as follows: “A suspended cadet is not permitted to re- main at the Military Academy. He is off duty during his term of sion. To exact no service and pay him his during the time of suspension is to pone rather than to punish for conduct preju- dicial to the good order and discipline of the academy.” ——__ oe -+____. For Minister Willis. The mail that left here last night carried several bulky packages addressed to Min- ister Willis and which will be forwarded to him by the steamer Australia, which leaves San Francisco for Honolulu next Saturday. Included in the dispatches is a communica- tion from the Treasury Department in re- gard to the claim of the city of Louisville against the United States, of which all but $18,000 was recently disallowed by the first controller of the treasury. Mr. Willis sent a telegraphic inquiry about this case to the Secretary of the Treasury. + e+____ The Atlanta. It is reported from Norfolk that the re- pairs and overhauling of the U. 8. S.
