HAREARD,s ATHLETIo CHANGES.
Decision to ReInstate InelIgIbles sup
ported by Graduate organ

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 26.-The Har-
ward Bulletin, the organ of the Harvard
graduates, in its issue for the present
week, publishes an editorial defense of
the atheletic committees recent action
in regard to reinstating men who broke
Haryard's eligibility rules before they
reached the age of nineteen. The ar
ticle in part follows:
1T is absurd that boy less than
nineteen years old, because he may
have received some small sum for play
ing on baseball nine before he went
to college, must be forever debarred
from taking part in intercollegiate
athletics. In a great majority of cases
he Is not a professional in the real
meaning of the word even if he has
technically made himself one. Under
the new rule the athletic committee
rightly reserves the right to decide
each case as it comes up.
practically the same conditions ex-
ist in regard to summer baseball It is
distinct hardship to say that COLI
Iege undergraduate must not play on
any summer nine; such provision
makes many college men lose a great
deal Of harmless fun during the long
summer vacation.
What is more reasonable than that
in both these cases the matter should
be left to the judgment of body which
is certain to be conservative, and at
the same time to exercise common
sense?
Those people who have been harping
about nrnfessinnaIs and amateurs
should understand that Harvard is not
attempting to define these terms, but
that she does mean to decide what men
shall represent her in athletic exhibit
tions and contests which are not all
ready covered by her intercollegiate
agreements

TENSION INCREASING.
Russia's Tentative Rep1y to Great
Britain Unsatisfactory.

London, Oct 26.--Tension increases
as time passes without a definite settle
ment of the situation created by the
Russian blunder in the North Sea.
Ambassador Benkendorff's tentative
communication to Foreign Minister
Lansdowne to-day, and the fact that
this was regarded as unsatisfactory,
only served to inflane the public mind;
and while official circles are giving out
intimations that it is their confident
belief that the whole matter will be
satisfactorily arranged, 1t is now quite
evident that only a short time will be
allowed Russia in which to give final
and complete assurances Of her inten-.
tion to comply with any and all de-
mands Great Britain may make within
reason. The arrival of Admiral Rqiest-
vensky at Vigo and the certainty that
he is in direct communication with his
government removes at once the possi-
bility of any delay owing to the inabil-

CORPORATION Bank Tax,

The corporation bank tax case came
up before Judge Nicol on Monday last
In this controversy the corporation of
Manassas asserted its right to tax bank
stock, which right being denied by the
National Bank of Manassas, the town
sergeant proceeded to make levies to col
lect the same, thereby bringing the mat
ter into court for an opinion.
Judge Nicol's decision as to this case
covered three points;
lst, That the town had right to as
sess Mr.. Putuam's stock.
End, That the town bad proceeded
regularly in its assessment and levy
therefore had right to collect the tax,
3D., That the sergeant should have
levied on the band stock In question for
the tax. and should have levied on Mr.
Putnam's other personal property only
after his inability to collect tax by levy
on and sale Of the stock itself,
The tax being collectable, Of course
the tax on all the stock will be prompt
ly paid, the only question being one as
to the corporations legal right to tax
individuals stock in national banks
