trial on Dec. IA and last night they took
one of the students and robbed him of val
uables they had loaned him for the occa-
sion. Then, putting him on a wood pile
they put a supposed dynamite cartridge
and fuse near him. The cartridge was a
piece of rubber hose and the fuse a shoe
string. The supposed robbers then ran, and
the man on the wood pile got off and threw
the rubber hose in rain barrel near by
The supposed robbers were arrested by
two students, who acted as marshals, and
their mock trial comes off Dec. H. This
was done for the benefit of the students
who are studying law. and to show their
ability. Some people have distorted the
circumstances into true story and spread

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-"rhe president
and directors of Georgetown College have
issued a regulation. adopted in faculty meet

from playing football with teams, whether
collegiate or otherwise, from outside the
college until the character and rules OF the
game shall have been radically modified

all danger of serious casualties" The ac-
tion is the result OF the Thanksgiving day
game with the Columbia Athletic Club
team, in which five OF the Georgetown
eleven were carried from the field. one from
injuries which expected fatal Quarter
back Mahen, OF Richmond, was removed
to-day from the university TO a hospital.
A council of physicians discussed the ad-
visibility of an operation TO remove a part
of the fractured vertebrae but decided
that paralysis is due to an injury TO his
hip Recovery is extremely doubtful
Mahen says that Leete, of the Columbia
team slugged him and another player
kicked him in the back after he was down.

ARMENIAN REFUGEES.

Turks Escaped.
ATHENS, Dec. 4.-The Armenian refu-
gees who escaped from the districts of Ar
menia where the massacres occurred and
whose terrible experiences and tales of
Turkish atrocities were exclusively cabled
yesterday, are now located here in small.
windowiess rooms. They sleep on the floor,
four or i've together, and entirely destitute.
Their compatriots in this city are all poor
people, but they are helping them as far
as they can with clothing and food The
refugees are f1ie, stalwart men, who wan
dered separately to the mountains, avoiding
All r0aos> Some of them succeeded in reach
lns irenizonde and others reached Kera-
Scuii, Wnere they embarked on board a
Hreek steamer. When this vessel arrived
a tConstantincple and at SMYRNA, the kind
hearted captain concealed them in the hold
ana coal bunkers until all danger of being
captured by the Turkish authorities was
passed Ii was expected that the steamer
would be searched at both these ports, as
Turks are doing everything possible to
prevent the escape of Armenians who NAV
tell OF the atrocities perpetrated by the
turkish soldiers. The refugees are all agri-
culture laborers. One of the refugees, when
the massacre began, escaped in his night
shirt and made his way to cave in which
he found refuge for three days. So many
precautions were taken by the refugees TO
escape detection and capture, that they
were forty-eight days on their journey to
this city. The Armenian committee is
starting fund for their relief.

Press-One Effect Noted.
LONDON, Dec. 4-The Pail Mall Gazette
commenting on President Cleveland's an
nual message to Congress says to-day:
President Cleveland Ieiterates his faith
in free trade; but we do not expect to get
anything more out of the tariff controversy.
That chance is lost until the Democrats
return to power with more sense In their
heads. America is going to bid sol, the su-
premacy of the seas While we do not fear
the contest, this policy will in time seri-
ously affect our carrying trade"
The Globe says: There is no touch Of
spread eagesm in the message or the
slightest desire TO tweak John Bulls nose
On the contrary, President Cleveland has
the courage to display a friendly attitude
which. if roughly handled, would easily
provoke international umbrage. We ad-
visedly call his language courageous, for
is certain to provoke the wrath of the
Irish Americans. AS In foreign affairs. so
in domestic affairs G is bs the ample proof that

gold has been commented on. but it should
not be forgotten that If greenbacks were

ton of national bank notes. the treasury
would not be required to hold gold to so

however that any change viii be made

a dispatch from Berlin to the Standard
saws that a good impression has been made
there by Mr. Cleveland's concessions in
regard to the removal of the discriminat,
on sugars from countries paying an ex-
port bounty on sugars. The Presidents at
titude on the Samoan question, as ex-
pressed in his message to Congress has
also made a good impression.
