COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
President Eliot of Cambridge De-
CIares His Opposition.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb. 15.-President
Eliot has touched off a veritable bomb
shell in his annual report where he speaks
upon. the subject of athletics, He proposes
three radical changes. as follows:
First-No freshmen shall be allowed to
participate in any intercollegiate event.
SecoDd-No one allowed to compete more
than one year in any line of intercol-
iegiate athletics.
rd-Intercolleglate contests will
take place but once in two years.
For a great while the president has
been declaring his opposition to intercol-
legiate athletics. At the Phi Beta Kappa
dinner last spring he declared himself op-
posed to them. This is declared to be the
most unpopular move the president has
ever made and there is strong movement
to call mass-meeting which will protest
against the supposed changes. The indg-
nation of the students appears TO be gen.

feelingly upon the grave events which
might follow the rejection by the Reich

The matter is intensified by France raising
the grain duties, thereby cutting off
Russia. If the treaty is rejected now the
Gar will take it as personal Insult
"Tbe Emperor afterward said: The
agrarians assured ME of their loyalty. but
at the same time they object to the sacri-

more than a mark and half?'
Again the Emperor said. distinctly,
and whiting the hearing of everybody
present:

look for war with Russia within three
months. Frances latest action will very
likely terminate her present friendship
with Russia,
Il think the situation is very grave, but

JUBAL EARLY'S FALL,

LYNCHBURG. Va, Feb. 10 General
Jubal A. Early met with an accident this
evening, which in all probability, tho at.

He was ascending the stairs at the post
Office when he fell heavily, the ice on the
steps rendering them slippery. He struck
oD his head and the concussion was so
severe as to render him unconscious.
Owing to his advanced age, the general
having passed his eightieth year, it is
hardly possible that he will ever get up
from his bed again. At a late hour to-
night he had not regained consciousness.
