McKi.M.iCY is coming to Minne sota to boom his presidential boom. The Northwest Is a good place to start from if one wishes to attain a high pur pose. The airs, hereabouts is well charged with ozone, and the vigor gained here is of the utmost value in a long and arduous campaign. Perhaps, as alleged. Secretary Gresham was influenced by a desire for a little notoriety wnen he surrendered his pension to the government, but his act was none the less couiniendabio. lie does not need the pension, and should not take it at a time when the govern ment is in sore financial distress. The Reining sea agreement proves to be unsatisfactory both to Canada and the United States, and an effort is being made to secure its modification. There is no doubt but the decision of the arbi trators was prejudiced against this coun try, but it is some satisfaction to know that it has been a two-edged sword, which cuts both ways. The bakers' trust does not exist at Marengo, 111. A dispute among the kueaders has resulted in a run on the market, and the price of bread lias been reduced to two cents for a pound loaf. Even the poorest of the town are now luxuriating in the choicest of bakery products, and not feeling the strain upon their pocketbooks to any consid erable extent. Steele Mackayi:, the dramatist and manager, who a few years ago was a millionaire, is lying dangerously ill at Chicago without means with which to procure medical attendance and the comforts of life. A benefit is to be given him in a day or two, and it is hoped that enough will be raised to secure for him a few necessaries of the sick room. It is a gratifying fact that the Michi gan returning board frauds find few defenders, even among the Republican newspapers. The perpetrators are be ing vigorously prosecuted, and stand a good chance of taking up their resi dence in the penitentiary. The out come of the present prosecutions is of interest to the whole country, for if frauds upon the ballot can be perpe trated with impunity in that state they can be committed with equal effrontery elsewhere. The Minneapolis man who offers for a monetary consideration to produce the man who drove Dr. Cronin to his death on the night of his murder is probably a fraud. The evidence on the -point submitted at the two hearings of the case has been conclusive. It is prob able that the Minneapolis man is simply seeking a little questionable notoriety ami a free rido to Chicago for himself mid a friend. The Chicago authorities place no reliance upon his statements and will pay no attention to his case. The New York senate has put a veto upon the scheme of New York city to annex the adjoining cities within a radius of a dozen miles from Harlem bridge, and again the people of that city are distrait with apprehension that the next census will give Chicago a greater population than her seashore rival can boast. It is indeed a sad pros pect, but people generally will view it with complacency, and nowhere will the satisfaction be greater than in the Windy city ou the bauks of Lake Mich igan. Patience is one of the prime requi sites in a judge. It is probable that Mr. Peckhani. if ultimately confirmed as a justice of the supreme court, will have had abundant training in this direction. Action on his nomination has again been deferred by the senate, but it is promised that he will learn his fate to day. As the delays of late have been requested by opponents of his confirma tion, it is evident that they do not feel confident of their ability to defeat him, and present indications are that Dave Hill will find his nose out of joint at the close ot today's executive session ot the senate. A movement is on foot in Great Brit ain favorable to the payment of salaries to members of parliament. Under the present law a poor man cannot afford to stand for a seat iv the house of com mons. He must not only pay his own election expenses— which are.'however, limited by law— but he is compelled to maintain himself in London during the parliamentary sessions in a style that only the rich can afford. It is held that by paying a liberal salary to members many able men who are now debarred by poverty from the house may be in duced to accept seats, to the great ben efit of their "constituents and the coun try at large. There is a general movement throughout the state to comply with the "recent decision of the supreme court touching commitments to the insane asylums under the law of 1803. The suggestion of the Globe that com plaints be made in the counties where the asylums are located is being gen erally followed, and thus the cost of re commitment is being reduced to the minimum. The blunder of the legis lature will be more easily remedied than was at first supposed possible, but nevertheless, it will cost the state a goodly sum, for. the state will be prop erly held responsible for the expense caused by the defect in the law. Tin-: present gubernatorial campaign in Georgia is not as much a contest be tween rival political parties as it is between rival religious denominations. The Republican candidate is a Methodist and the Democratic nominee is a Bap tist. The two sects are about equally strong, and the candidates are appeal ing more to their fellow religionists than to their political associates. The fight Is a lively one. and is exciting extraordinary interest. It is, however, much to be deplored that religion should become, so entangled with politics. The fact bodes no good for either the church or the state. THK COAL TARIFF. The provision of • the tariff bill that seems likely to evoke tho greatest oppo sition in tho senate is that which places coal on the free list. The mining states of Pennsylvania;' Ohio and ; West Vir ginia declare that the provision will be ruinous to them, and there are also murmurs of protest from . Indiana, Illi nois and Alabama. It makes no differ-; ence that more than nine-tenths of ihe people of the United States would be benefited by brae coil. The interests of the few wealthy mine owuers must be first consulted. Almost every family In the country is a consumer of coal. The removal of the duty on that product means a sav ing to each household that will amount on an average to twenty dollars a year. To manufacturers and business estab lishments the saving will be much greater. In St. Paul alone our people would save on this item alone no less than six thousand dollars a day— prob ably double the amount. In other com- unities proportionate results would be obtained. And yet, for the benefit of a lew hundred mine owners, the tariff robbers would insist upon taxing the whole petiole many hundreds of mill ions of dollars. The product of bitu minous coal in the states west of the Mississippi river in 1891 amounted in round numbers to seventeen million tons. The tariff on this product amount ed to twelve and three-quarters mill ions of dollars. All of this tax; went into the pockets of the mine owners — not a dollar to the national treasury,, for the tariff simply enabled the mine own ers to add seventy-five ceuts a ton to the price of their product. . ' ;': 5 \ Bituminous coal, upon which the tariff is levied, enters largely into manufact uring and domestic consumption. An thracite is but little used, and mostly in the homes of the rich and well-to-do. It carries no tariff, for it is found alone in the Pennsylvania mountains, but its price is governed to a considerable ex tent by the price of bituminous coal. The repeal of the tax on bituminous coal will mean an annual saving to the people residing west of the Mississippi river of at least thirteen mill ion dollars. This is equivalent to a dollar a year per capita. The amount, however, does not induce the immense] saving to the people who are dependent upon the Illinois and Indiana mines, the most extensive on the continent, for their supply. These mines produce many millions of tons annually. The Tennessee and Alabama mines also pro duce large amounts, upou which the people of those regions are dependent. There are, in the entire bituminous coal region of the West, something like a hundred and fifty mines, in which per haps five thousand persons are inter ested. These mines supply coal to a population aggregating more than' one half the population of the entire coun try, and levy tribute of 75 cents a ton upon tiie entire product, aggregating more than a hundred and fifty million tons. Here is more than a hundred and twelve million dollars taken every year from the pockets of the consumers and added to the already plethoric posses sions of the producers. . It is not surprising that, with such enormous profits at stake, the coal barons are anxious to retain the tariff on bituminous coal, and will make a prodigious effort to accomplish the pur pose. • Perhaps the senate may listen to the demands of the mining interests and ignore the consumers. Such a course would be characteristic ot that body. But the house, we feel assured, will stand by the cause of the masses and insist that coal shall be placed upon the free list, there to remain forever. ONE BOS**, JAILED. John Y. McKane, superintendent of the Graveseud Sunday school, chief of its police force, supervisor of the town, manipulator of caucuses, paddet of reg istration lists, general political lord pro prietor of his duchy, casting its votes as his sweet will listed: a Democrat who boasted that he made Harrison presi-^ dent and lied in his boast, is lying in^ jail awaitinr the sentence which will send him to Sing Sing for a period not less than two nor more than ten years. This man was the typical boss. He has only done what other bosses have done, and what every other one who is imbued with the right sense of his duty would always do; and for doing which, could the same deserts be meted out each of them, every state in the Union would make a large contribution to the prison population, and every political party would furnish its equal share. It was the better or worse fortune of Mc- Kane that he was so situated that he could develop the blossom of bossisra into the full, ripe fruitage. He had made himself the absolute master of his baili wick. His word was law, his decree was fate. No man dared oppose him; all trembled before him, all slavishly executed his will. . : ." : He had run his course so long un checked that he imagined himself above those regulations which society had felt it essential to enact for its own preser vation. For years he had driven his coach and four through every "statute enacted to permit voters to express their* will and to safeguard it when ex pressed. He had padded the registrar tion lists until the names on them trebled the voting population of the place, and then furnished the rounders to impersonate the names. He com mitted perjury right and left, with a conviction that oaths were mere idle formalities which a superintendent of Sunday schools and a boss might well be indifferent to. :-^">j But at last Boss McKane ran agaiust a man and a newspaper. William J. Gaynor was a candidate in the elections last year for judge. He knew McKane and his methods, and he knew that the boss intended to "knock him out." He sent his men to copy the registration lists, and the boss's police locked them up or drove them away. Injunctions were issued to prevent interference with the copyists, and the boss drove off the men who would serve them, re garding the interference of the courts with his affairs as only a sheer im pertinence, to be properly resented. Then he ran against a newspaper. He should have known better than this on general principles, but especially should he have learned to beware of the New York Times. The fate of Tweed-Is not a thing so long of the past that this boss could have forgotten the little difficulty . between Tweed and the Times, as a re sult of which Mr. Tweed died in prison. But he probably thought himself " a "biger man" than Tweed, and that he could defy courts and papers where Tweed failed. He knows better now, and, in the years before him while he is doing time for the state, he will have ample opportunity to reflect on all these things, to gel a corrected idea of the limitations of the boss, the powers of the courts when set in motion, aud of the uselessness of bucking against a newspaper when it enlists iv the work of exposing and bringing the boss to punishment. And, too, it is probable that one of the reflections of the ex-boss will be on THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 16. 1894— TEN" PAGES. the partiality of Ilia fate which caught him up and jailed him for doing what so many other bosses have done .-' and will do and retain and enjoy their lib erty.'; lie has seen his fellow craftsmen in his and other states doing with Impu nity all the sundry things which the law says should not be done., lie has seen th-in boodling councils and ; legist liters, sometimes with money, oftener with offices* facing the , doors of the penitentiary and braving them; packing caucuses and stuffing ballot boxes; rais ing and disbursing money In buying voters, and all those thousand and one tilings which basses do' to carry their ends.and enioy not only immunity from arrest, but the esteem and confi deuce, sometimes tho. blind reverence as statesmen,' of their fellows. Tie will wonder at the queer caprice of fata which selected him from all these fol lows for a sacrificialofferlngon the altar of justice. *'-f "•--•; . What has Happened to McKane would happen to any one of those men who dissever conscience and respect for the •law 10111 their political .methods, were there in every community men like Judge Gay nor and papers like tho Times. His fate and that of Tweed show what can be done where men who disapprove of such methods have the pluck and energy to set themselves .to exposing and punishing the deeds of tin* bosses. .They are invulnerable only because and as long as men supine, and will not exert themselves to defend their liberties. When they cease being inert, when they rouse themselves to action, when they make a determined fight for their rights, the formidable boss becomes the vulnerable and easily de posed trickster, and. if pushed to his just deserts, the convicted criminal. . a-*-» ANAKOIiY. ; It is very evident that the time' has fully arrived when concert of actiou among European governments is neces sary for the suppression of anarchy. The "reds" appear to be omnipresent. They make themselves known, in places and at times when least expected, and by some wanton murder horrify the world. Anarchy is the manifestation of the most abandoned and reckless phase of human nature. The object to be at tained by the perpetrators of the out rages so frequently chronicled is not beneficent. They themselves confess as much. Vengefulness is alone their motive. If a man is frugal, industrious and prosperous, he becomes an object of attack. His domestic happiness is as sailed as an evidence that he is an aris tocrat; his desire to better his condition is regarded as an assault upon the in terests of the masses of the people. Shiftlessness is the only quality that is esteemed a virtue, vagabondism is dei fied. "y m '■'--. The anarchist is a blot upon humanity. He is by nature a criminal, by educa tion a vagrant, and is beyond the hope of redemption. He will not work to better his condition in life he does not want to be respected or self-respecting. He would hate himself if he shouid be betrayed into doing an honest day's work for his own benefit, or performing an act that might confer a blessing upon his kind. His object in life is to destroy what others have built up. A tasteful' home is his detestation, a well-condi- ] tioned man his abhorrence. The pro motion of human misery is his especial object and aim in iite; happiness is a condition which to him is abnormal and to' be contemned. .Of late these wretches seem to have obtained recruits in every,. country ; in. Europe, and have become so numerous" aud daring as to threaten the existence j of . society and government. Their fiendistiness has been especially mani fest in France. The republic has been tolerant towards them. They have re warded that tolerance by the boldest and most dastardly crimes in all history. Assemblages of peaceful and inoffen sive citizens have frequently been start led and dispersed by the explosion of bombs in their midst, and the slaughter that has ensued has been cause for pub lic and demoniac rejoicing. There. were no public benefits to be obtaiued- from the crimes of Ravachol, Vaillant or Henry. If they had succeeded in ac complishing their fell purpose the world would have been no better, but poorer— with an access of human woe and a loss of material wealth. Two of these miscreants died upon the guillo tine, shouting the praises of anarchy: the third will soon follow. And it seems as if death had no terrors for them— that they court rather than avoid it. It is a peculiar psychological phe nomenon, and cannot be accounted for upon ordinary grounds. Men have been burned at the stake for a principle, and have died with shouts of ecstasy upon their lips, and the world has wondered . The wonder is increased when we see men die for a crime with the same man ifestations of joy. It is very evident that the anarchists can never be made amenable to reason. They are too perverse for that. They can only be suppressed by extermina tion— the exercise of the exlremest rigor. They must be hunted down as wild beasts are hunted, and killed wherever found. We do not hesitate to kill a tiger, even if it has harmed no one. Anarchists are of the same nature as the tiger, and deserve no more mercy. They are bloodthirsty by nature, and only await the opportunity to commit a crime. H j The banding together of all the gov ernments of Europe' for the extirpation of anarchy is a measure of justifiable self-defense. They are menaced by a merciless foe, conspiring in secret to overthrow all law and order and to de stroy life and property remorselessly. If their machinations were directed against tyranny and tyrants there might be some palliation for their crimes. But their warfare is waged against the helpless and the innocent, as well as against the powerful and the guilty. In their warfare against, tyrants they have established a tyranny far worse than that of the Jacobins during the French revolution. They are destroy ers. - They should be treated to their own medicine in allopathic doses. The first issue of tho Northwestern Chronicle, the organ of tho Catholic, church in this diocese, under the new. management Is just out. The editor, John D. O'Brien, promises but little in his salutatory. to the patrons, but, judg ing by the character of his work, the promises Will be more than fulfilled, and our Catholic citizens, as well as the church, will have an organ of which all may be proud. The Chronicle is one of the best religious weeklies in the coun try. East or. West, and its influence under the new control will no doubt be widely exteuded. Fires in tho world's fair buildings are becoming so frequent as to remove all doubt of their incendiary origin. : It would, perhaps, be a measure of- econ omy for the city to destroy them at once, for the cost of their protection is fast exceeding their value. A Populist newspaper is to be estab lished in St. Louis shortly. As there are no millionaires back of it, its pros pects for a long existence are exceed ingly shady.

The two milk-white Andalusian mules that draw the diligence in "Panjan drum," which brings De Wolf Hopper and several others of tne cast in that opera upon the stage, are evidently dis satisfied with their roles. Perhaps they think they ought to receive more prom inence on the . programmes, or JJ perhaps they have decided to ask for an increase of salary, together with greater, quanti- , ties of oats and other kinds ot proven der. At any rate, both mules struck last Monday evening, in Chicago, at the opening performance, and instead of making a triumphant entry to the cen ter of the stage, the genial' fun maker and his associates were .compelled to tumble out of the /'stage coach and walk dowu 'to the footlights, after wnich the ■■ mules were led off the stage, wearing a curious com placent look of. 'self-satisfaction. The entrance of the diligence in the first act forms one of the most striking climaxes in the pretty opera. A bull light is about to take place at Sabaya, a suburb of Manilla, and the picturesque vehicle arrives at the Plaza de Toros laden .with admirers of that cruel sport from the latter-named city.

The play will be presented by a carefully selected company of farceurs, and a number of new musical selections and specialties are promised. - PASSING COMMENT.

Mr. Bland does not expect t> secure a quorum tomorrow, but as soon as this lack of a quorum is demonstrated steps will be taken to compel the it tendance of absentees, and Mr. Bland is confident that Saturday, or Month y at the farthest, a quorum vll be present to pass the bill. During the call of ; commit tees for reports this morning. Mr Wise (Va.;, from the committee on interstate -and foreign commerce, n ported back the New York & New Jer sey bridge bill aud the accompanying veto of the president with the recom mendation that the bill do not pass over the veto. Mr. Crammings, rising to a personal explanation, stated that some time ago he introduced a popular loin bill. • Since then members had received copies of an amendment to the bill, which they appeared to think came from him. He denied all responsibility for it. and. moreover, expressed his un alterable opposition to it. Mr. Bland then moved to go into com mittee of the whole for the further con sideration of the seigniorage bill. Pend ing that action he again made a fruitless effort to fix the limit of the debate. lie suggested that it close tonight, then tomorrow, and finally agreed to let the debate . KUN until SATURDAY. But to each proposition Mr. Burrows objected, saying that it was in the power of the majority to close . the debate. After the house had gone into commit tee of the whole, Mr. Bland- asked the privilege of making a personal explana tion concerning an incident connected with the speech of Mr. Walker yester day.. Mr. Walker, he said,' had quoted from one of his speeches, in which he was represented as admitting the possi bility of the. depreciation of the silver dollar to the price of bullion. He did not dispute the accuracy of tho report of his speech, but the words had been spoken in the- heat of debate and did not represent his views. There was, he said, an active univer sal demand for silver for use in the arts. Under these circumstances it would be strange, he said, if bullion silver and coined silver had the same value. lie urged, however, that once there was free and unlimited coinage of silver, the demand for the bullion for coinage pur poses would bring both coin and bullion silver to par. *• '. -■■_-' '.yj-* -.'■"- "Then you withdraw what Mr. Walk er quoted?" suggested Mr. Reed. ; . "1 withdraw nothing, I care nothing about it-',', -.;*. y'r.Wyyr -{jV-ijii .: >*i\ii''. i'.'" "You appear to care enough about it." retorted Mr. Reed, sarcastically, "to make this legislation." Mr. Rawlins, delegate from Utah, then completed his speech begun yesterday. He was followed by Mr. Lattimer(Dem.. S. C), who supported the bill with a free silver speech. -;.'; : ,\='':? ; . Mr. Hendrix \ (Dem.. N. V.) opposed the bill in a vigorous speece. yy;y,-v- ! During his speech, Mr. Hendrix was besieged with questions from all sides. HE CROSSED SWORDS with Messrs, Blair, Livingston, McCrea ry, Boatner, Cox and others. Mr. Hen drix declared that there was nothing sadder than lose-- a farmer sitting on a fence rail with a gesticulating politician tiying to convince him that the low price of wheat was due to the "crime of 1873." -At the conclusion of Mr. Hendrix's speech Mr. Simpson (Pop., -Kan.)- took tho floor in advocacy of the bill. . He began with a humorous reference to the fact that the bankers seemed to think ouly themselves competent to discuss the currency question. Yet Mr. Walker, of Massachusetts, had been brave enough to enter the arena, and, accord ing to the congressional directory, he was a shoemaker. .;>: If a shoemaker can discuss finance, why can't a farmer? [Laughter.] Mr. Simpson announced himself as in favor of the bill. Mr. Bingham (Rep., Pa.) opposed the pending measure in a brief speech, in which lie argued that the enactment of the bill would threaten the credit of the government. The mass or the people of the country, he said, was in favor of using both gold and silver bimetallism. - '_>-•: * The Republican >• party sought to achieve that, and by safe, conservative methods: while the Democratic party, under the leadership of Mr. Bland, was attempting it by a revolution in our financial system that must inevitably result in silver monometallism. Mr. Boatner advocated the passage of the bill. • :" : y Mr. Enloe (Dem., Term.) also sup ported the bill.' Mr. Hall (Dem., Minn.) opposed if. He defined seigniorage as the profit arising to the government from a sys tem of petty larceny practiced on the people. As long as It remained in the treasury as bullion it would be a per petual temptation. He had no doubt it would be coined now or at some other time. Mr. Goodnight (Dem., Ky.), who con cluded the debate for today, advocated the passage of the bill. He criticised the action of Secretary Car'isle in issu ing bonds. « .♦When he completed his speech the committee rose and at 5:05 the house adjourned. y:: NORTH DAKOTA POINTS. C. 11.

Feb. 15.— There was some surprise when the senate, after being in executive session- for three hours, adjourned at 5:50 this afternoon without taking any action on the Peck ham nomination. It had been supposed that one sitting would suffice for ; the thorough consideration of the subject, and it was not considered probable that either side would ask for an adjourn ment, or that if ft should the other would grant it without vigorous pro test. The adjournment appears, how ever, to have en the result of general agreement, and so little importance was attached to it that not one of half a dozen questioned upon the subject could remember who moved the adjournment. Representatives of both sides of the controversy assert that the adjournment is without any significance whatever, it became apparent to all that it would be impossible to conclude the considera tion of the question before late in the night, as there were several speeches still to be made. . - - -- : ; The anti-Peckham men are somewhat more confident' of the result tonight than are his friends.

The Canadian-) Ht-aten for the itoyal Trophy. Winnipeg, Man.,' Feb. 15.— The chief contests in the Winnipeg curling bon spiel are gradually narrowing down, and the veteran curlers who are left in them are making a gallant tight for pos session of the handsome trophies. Only four rinks are now left in the fight for the Grand Challenge cup,' in which 300 curlers entered. Those remaining tonight are the rinks skipped by Patterson, Clarke, Fortune aud Huff mat*, men who have been in the finals at nearly every bonspiel. Tomonow these veterans will come against each otner, and there will be some . great games. Most of the games today Were in the Walkerville competition.. The St. Paul rink, which had gained three successive victories in the competition, fell this afternoon be fore the veteran Fortune. For some unaccountable reason the St. Paul boys went all to pieces, and Duluth having been knocked out in the first round, the Americans now have no chance of tak ing the Walkerville tankard across the boundary iine. Tonight St. Paul and Duluth were pitted against rinks repre senting Winnipeg and Regina, in com petition for the Royal Caledonian tank ard, a magnificent trophy donated by Sir Donald A. Smith, with the object of testing the merits of Manitoba curl ers with those outside. The struggle was witnessed by a large audience this time. The- Americans turned the tables on the CanueKs.-: Duluth tied with Regina, but St. Paul defeated the Winnipeg rink, and this won the trophy* for the Americans. Tomorrow Duluth and St. Paul will play off for the owner snip of the trophy. ** Much sympathy among the curlers is expressed for C. W. Huffman, the famous Thistle skip, whose daughter Minnie," aged seventeen, died this after noon. Huffman's retirement from the bonspiel weakens the Thistles' chances materially. RECORD GOES GLIMMERING. World's I'ive-.'dile . Record for Skating Broken. Yesterday at the Normanna rink, Minneapolis, was witnessed the fastest time ever made on skates for the dis tance." The heats were run off for the one, two and five-mile state champion ships in order to pick the best men for the final races for today, there being j too many to start at one time. Each race was run in three heats. The first heat of the five-mile proved to be a world record-breaker. J. JNilssou, of Minneapolis, not only lowered the world's amateur recora several seconds, but also the professional world's record by twelve seconds, held by Herald 11 age of Norway. Nilsson's time was 14:59; AlScheibe second in 15:00. The first mile was made in 2:5:2. The second heat of the live-mile was won by B. Bird, of St. Paul, in 10:15, Ed Pannell second in 10:16 2-5; third heat by Mall Anderson, of Minneapolis, in 10:21. . In the three-mile the first heat was j won by Scheibe in 9:20, McDaniels sec ond; Nelson led at the first mile; time, 2:50 2-5; A. D. Smith ot the second mile in 5:58 X. The second beat was won by Strand, of Minneapolis, in 10:38, Bird second. This race was a loaf.and many oftho crowd said Bird, but* the referee decided in favor of Strand. The -third heat was another loaf, with J. Davidson first in 11:04, L. Aaker, Minneapolis, ! second. . In the one-mile trials some lively work I was done. J. Niisson was first in 2:50, A.

Thomas Had an Off ."Sight, and Lay Down. y The game last night in the Foley billiard tournament was played between Thomas and Thayer. Thayer led off* with a run of fifteen clean billiards.aud it looked as if a record would be broken. The spectators were not disappointed, as they were treated to the best exhibi tion of excentric billiards ever played in the city.as it took ninety-four innings to finish the game. All rules governing the game seemed to be either ignored or forgotten in their desperation to reach the goal. The erratic old veteran, Thayer, performed all kinds of acro batic feats in his anxiety to count, which was tho only relief to the monotony. However, he should be credited with some excellent plays. His high runs were as follows: 15, 10, 11, 17, 10, 15, 10, 88. "Hope deferred maketh the sick"— at least Thomas was heard to lepeat something in. an under i tone which were probaoly .words to that effect. The opportunity with him al ways seems to come in the latter end of the game. Alas! in this game it never came. He ought to have reached double figures oftener, but he only got there six times as follows: 13,* 18, 32, 15, 12. 14. j The game scheduled for tonight will j be between Charles Capin. of Minneap | olis, and Walter Wllmot.and an exciting finish can be looked for.

ELIOT'S DECREE. ~ — ~~"~ ""** Harvard Students Aroused Over the President's New Policy. CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Feb. 15.—Presi dent Eliot has touched off a veritable bomb in his annual report where he touches upon the subject of athletics. He proposes three radical changes, as follows: - First— That no freshman shall be al lowed to participate in any intercolle giate event. Second— Tnat nobody be allowed to compete more than one year in any line of inter-collegiate athletics. Third— That intercollegiate contests take place but once in two years. For a great while the president has been declaring his opposition to' inter collegiate athletics. At the Phi Beta Kappa dinner last spring he declared himself very much opposed to them, and cited instances of athletes who had said as much after graduation. This is declared to be tha most un popular move the president has ever made, and there is a strong movement to call a mass meeting which will pro test against the president's proposed changes. The indignation of students appears to be general. «a» Gilmaii'sAjjpolutmcat. Rusliford Star. v \v ; . The appointment of Hon. C. A. Gil ma 1 to the position of state librarian i y Gov.
