Glasgow, April 6.-The struggles of
the crowd which gathered at Ibrox

ternational association football con-
test between the teams of England
and Scotland caused the coIlapse of
a portion Of one of the SPECTATORS

five persons and the injury of 1875

latter will die, as they are all in q

When the game began 10000 spec

immense crowd was outside. Being
unable to obtain admittance. this
crowd outside broke down some bar

Whereupon the police charged and
drove the intruders back upon the
terraces of seats with the result that
the ratings dividing the crowds
broke and people were thrown over

towards the exits the pressure toward

their common devotion to the same
branch of scientific research estab-
fishes any kind of community of in

has been noticed in lovers, poets, and
musicians. In the case OF the wire
less telegraphy experts the vortex OF
the trouble is at present in Germany.
There the Braun system has locked
hCrns with the Slaby-Arco system and
is preparing for an encounter with the
Marconi system. Herr Braun thinks
that both the Slaby-Arco idea and the
Marconi idea are adaptations OF an
idea. in volving circuit oscillations,
which he himself brought forth into
the world and which he christened
and patented. Having accomplished
the christening and patenting, how
ever. he woke up one morning and
found his offspring kidnapped. AT
present he is litigating for his rights
and will not be comforted.
All this squabbling, though it might
merely furnish diversion in this coun-
try, is distasteful to the wathcful pa
ternal government of Germany. Cap

Leading university and college men

as he did in his will, for a great system

The provision for American students
is of doubtful expediency. The years
of undergraduate study should be
spent by our boys in their own coun-
try. American influences should be
about them and American ideals be

of their lives. For them AnglO-Saxon
sympathies must be rooted in the soil
of American convictions and aims.
But whatever may be said upon the
general proposition, the method OF
choosing the scholarship men is i'm
practicable unless the choice is made
