CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 20.-President
Elliot's annual report, with It's attack up
on college sports. was made public today.
He says. in part:
In the highly competitive sports, which
give rise TO exciting inter collegiate con-
tests, namely boat raclny. baseball and
foot ball, there have been developed in re-
cent years some evils of a serious nature.
No sport which requires of the student
more than two hours is fit for college
work. No student can keep up his college
studies, and also play his full part in any
of these sports as al present conducted.
Thore is something excessively inappro-
pirate 10 the extravagHnt expenditure IN
the college such as Havard and Yale.
The players have been forced by public
opinion to overstrain and Overwork until
there is great risk of injury and even
tuaIly death To become brutal is the nat
ural tendency of all sports which involve
violent personal collision between the
players, as in foot ball.
In the matter of remedies the president
suggests the following changes:
No. l. There should be no freshmen in
tercoilgiate matches nor races.
2 No games, intercollegiate or other
wise should be played on other than COL
lege fields, belonging to one OF the COM
petlng colleges or in the town.
3. No professional studen: should take
part in any intercollegiate contests.
f. No student should bs member of a
university team or in more than one sport
within the same year.
5. No football should be played until
the rules are SO amended rs to diminish
the number and violence OF the collisions
between the players and to provide for the
enforcement OF the rules.
6. Inter collie .iate contests in any one
sport should not take place ofrener than
once year.

As soon as the policeman recovered from
the shock which he had sustained Ly the
explosion, he sent for assistance AID
Madame Calabresi, her husband, Mr.. and
Madame Isael and others who were slight
ly wounded were taken to the hospital.
The uncle of Madame Calabresi was
wounded severely by bullet from the
bomb, which passed almost through bis
body.
The explosion caused much damage to
tenement windows, crushing down plas-
tering and doing other injury OF similar
nature.
At2 o'clock this afternoon there was
renewal of the excitement, caused by the
finding of another bomb. This time there
was no explosion. The second bomb was
found in the Hotel de Experience, in an
other quarter of the city. and was OF
similar shape and mate to the one which
exploded early this morning.
1t is difficult to understand the motive
for this treason, as both these hotels are
small tenement-like places, trequented
almost entirely by working men, and it is
not thought likely that the Anarchists
would attempt to injure this class of
people.
There is no foundation whatever for the
report that bomb was found on the en-
trance or in any other part OF the foreign
office. The police officials deny the story
cabled to the United States TO this effect.
The report, exaggerated into an attempt
to blow up the foreign Office was based
solely on the fact that somebody dropped
from his pocket an air-pump used in con-
nection with bicycle pneumatic tires.
This small pump was by the sensation
mougers manufactured into a dynamite
bomb.

NO CASH PRIZES GO.
American Wheelmen Not Allowed to
Become Professionals.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 20.-The afternoon ses-
sion of the League of American Wheel
men convened at 2:20. President Lus-
combs first official act was the re-appoint-
ment of Howard +. Raymond as chairman
of racing board.
Mr.. Raymond then proceeded to dis.
cusslon OF some proposed changes bearing
upon the racing rules, aud bringing up the
amateur question. He presented an
elaborate paper dealing with the subject.
He urged that cash prizes should be strict
ly tabooed as now. His recommendations
in the way of amending the constitution
as it concerns racing was adopted. The
to class "a" and "B." To class "a" de-
fining an amateur, an additional provi.
sion labeled 'I' was adopted as follows:
San amateur of class "A may not COM
pete outside of his own state at a distance
greater than 200 miles from his legal resi-
dence, except by special permission of the
member of the racing board in charge Of
h lis district"
A bylaw on the same subject was as
follows: whenever permission Is granted
to an amateur of class IA TO compete at
greater distance from his legal Residence
than allowed by the rule, the member of
racing board shall require an itemized
statement of expenses, with receipts aud
vouchers, and shall notify the chairman

granted"
These amendments with the restrictions
already in force mean that the members
of the league must regard more closely
than ever the bounds beyond which an
amateur may not go without being con-
siiered professional. After the consid-
GRAFTON of matters minor importance, the
assembly's time was taken up with the
discussion of the matter of an official
paper for the league and without reaching
any decision, an adjournment for supper
was taken.
Denver has been selected as the place for
the next meet.
At the night session the matter OF an
official organ for the league was referred
to the executive committee.
In applications of expelled members for
reinstatement, the line against profession
alism was strongly drawn.
The time for the Denver meeting will be
fixed by the new racing board.
The proposition 20 give the president
salary OF s., 900 was lost, on Mr.. Luscomb's
statement that he did not care for IL, but
he was allowed 81 900 for clerk hire.

BRITISH POLITICS,

LONDON, Feb. 20.-In the house of COM
mons today, MIR. Gladstone withdrew the
employers liability bill. The radicals,
who had been eagerly expecting Mr..
Gladstone to make an attack upon the
house of lords, showed disappointment as
his speech progressed. The premier, in
mild, easy tones, argued simply against
the contracting out" amendment, saying
that, from all the evidence presented, he
thought the working people and the
friendly societies objected to the house of
lords provision. The government believed
the working people were the best judges
in matters which related to their own
affairs And if the amendment were in
corporated in the bill. the workmen's Sc
curity would be impaired. and they would
be deprived of all the benefits of the bill.
The Right Hon. A. j. Balfour the Con-
servative leader who was heartily cheered
on all sides when he arose, defended the
house of lords amendments, claiming that
the working people favored them Mr.
Balfour said that he represented an indus
trial constituency. and that he had not re-
ceived a single objection to the amend
ment. Both the Uuionists and the Lib
erals, according to Mr.. Balfour, were sent
TO the house of commons by the working
classes, upon whose support both were de-
pendent.
Finally, the house. by vote of 225 to 26,
adopted MIR. Gladstone's motion, and,
amid loud laughter. the bill WAS with
drawn.
The house rejected all the important
amendments made by the house of lords to
the parish councils bill, and accepted the
unimportant amendments. 1t then ad-
journed until Saturday.

A. Paris Lodging House the Scene Of
Another Dynamite Explosion.

PARIS, Feb 20-Paris has been startled
by another bomb explosion, and following
so closely upon the outrage at the Hotel
Terminus this new evidence of anarchistic
activity causes great excitement. The de-
tails of the affair are as follows:
A man of suspicious character recently
hired a furnished room in small tene-
ment, situated at No. 60 rue St. Jacquis.
SO far as can be ascertaned the suspicious
looking tenant disappeared on or about
Monday, and as he did not return last
night the proprietress Of the hotel, Mad
anne Calabres, knocked at the door and
finally threatened to break down the door
unless it was opened. Madame Calabresi,
however delayed carrying out her inten-
ton TO enter the apartment until this
morning, when she again tried to open the
door. this time employing force. While
engaged in this task the landiady began
10 be aware that something had caught in
the top of the door, and upon closer exam
nat!ou she found that it was to all ap.
pearances bomb or internal machine
Madame Calabresi ran away from the
door in alarm and called her husband who,
after making an inspection of the sup
posed bomb, called "a policeman who
promptly, but unwisely, put his shoulder

SUSPENDED THE SITTING.
An Uproarous Session Of the Italian
Chambers Of Deputies.

ROME, Feb. 20.-Tbe chamber of deputies
reassembied today. The chamber was
thronged with excited members and the
galleries were packed with spectators.
The vice president read letter from
Signor Zanardelli, in which the writer ad-
hered to his resguati ion of the presidency
Of the chamber. Eventually, Thursday
was fixed upon as the day for the election
of his successor.
The government applied for sanction TO
prosecute the Sicilan deputy, felice
Giuffrida of Catania, chief of the Easel di
LavatOri (workingmen's union), who was
arrested on Jan. 4, charged with engaging
IN q dangerous conspiracy and with lnclt-
ing to commit violence
Premier Crspi announced that the gov
ernment would introduce tomorrow meas
ures of economy, tending to increase
revenue, and that it proposed on Friday
to discuss the questions in connection
with the recent disorders in Sicily and in
the Carrara district.
Deputy Imbriana demanded an imme-
date discussion of the measure referred
to. The house, however, with the excep-
tion of the Leftists, accepted Premier
CrispTs proposition.
A lively passage at arms followed be-
tween Signor Imbriana and the vice-pres-
dent of the chamber. Signor Imbriaua
insisted upon speaking forthwith, and the
vice. president insisted that he should not
do so. This caused a bowling uproar upon
the part of the friends of both sides, and
eventually the disorder became SO great
that the vice-president donned his hat and
suspended the sitting.
After the suspension of the sitting there
were number of excited alterations in
the lobbes of the chamber, and several of
the members nearly came to blows. In
fact, it was reported that there had been
number of face slappings and threats of
indulging in kicking.
When the deputies had somewhat
quieted down, the chamber resumed its
sitting, and agreed to Signor Calvottis'
motion to publish Immediately the min
utes of the committee appointed to inquire
into the bank scandals

her mother escaped with slight injuries.
Mr. Dunbar states that be knew nothing
after the collision until he walked up in
the Office of Drs. Johnston, Minter and
Carson. where he had been taken for treat
ment.
The dispatch from Ell Reno in regard to
the Comsnchs and kiowas going on the
warpath is not true. There is some dis
content over the delay of the payment. bnt
most of ii comes from interested whites
and not from the Indians. As TO the kill
ing of cattle, this has been carried on ali
the time where the cattle are not closely
watched, the Indians occasionally driving
off or killing a good beef. The cattlemen
have not paid their lease money, but Poor
Lo will wait for it patiently, as be has
always done They are not suffering for
it, but the white traders who have helped
them on the strength Oh IL
are the real sufferers by the delay. The
bi-monthly issue of rations and clothing
comes regularly to the Indians and keeps
them from actual want, and as long as
this is the case they will not so on the
warpath. They owe the traders large
amount, but are good pay, and feel az
grieyed that their payment IS put OH SO
long 1t is hard to tell where TO lay the
fault, whether with the cattlemen or the
government, as it seems the government
ought to be able to collect the money on
time. and this would insure II prompt set
Iement with the Indians. Only the very
safest parties are lessees of the Indians,
and it is nonsense to say that the pltlful
amount OF the grass lease money cannot be
promptly collected and paid over.
In the federal court or South McAlester,
today, hearing was granted to the petl-
tioners asking for receiver Tor the NC
ElteIman stock which WAS assigned about
two weeks ago. 1t is understood here that
a majority of the creditors have signified
their assent to the appointment OF re-
ceiver and that Judge Stewart will crafty
them if there is no slip in the program.

sold at retail, and, it is thought, Will

The particulars of the tragedy in which
Hank Stiles OF Omego shot and killed his
brother Jasper Stiles, at 2 O'Clock on Sat
urday at Omega, are as follows: Hank
had had some trouble with another broth
er John Styles about pony few min
utes before in Charles Woodworth's store,
all three of the brothers being present.
John left the room ON his regular work,
when Jasper made the remark that he
(Hank) should not talk to his brother as
he had just done to John. This aDgered
Hank, and he ordered his brother Jasper
to leave the room Hank owning the build
ing used by Mr.. Woodwork. This jasper
refused to do, taking Ratchet in one
hand and some weights in the other to
protect himself This made Hank more
angry than before. and before those pres

out of the room and fell dead at the steps.
The dead body was carried into au adjoin-
ing building. The father of the boys. who
