Washington, Oct 10. - President
Roosevelt entertained at luncheon DR..
d. H Nichols and w. r. Reid, of Har-
ward; Arthur T. Hillebrand and John
B. Fine. of Princeton, and Walter
Camp and Mr. Owsley, of Yale. The
six guests of the president constitute
the athletic advisors of the respective
colleges named. The president desired
to consider with them particularly the
morale of the game of football, with a
view to eliminating much of its bru
tality If possible. A general discussion
of college athletics was had, but the
talk centered around the game Of foot
ball. It is hoped by the president that
with the cooperation of the college
authorities and the athletic advisors
the rules OF the game may be sc
amended as practically to do away
with much of the brutality which
makes the game Objectionable tc
many people. It is understood that nc
definite conclusions were reached. In
deed. none was expected the idea OF
the president being simply to start the
ball rolling in the direction of a modi
fcation Of the rules of the game.

Washington, Jan. 12.-In connec-
ton with the subject of arbitration
treaties the president has addressed
the following letter to Senator Cullom,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations:
81 notice in connection with the gen
eral arbitration treaties now before
the senate that suggestions have been
made to the effect that under them it
might be possible to consider as mat
ters for arbitration claims against GER
tain states of the union in reference to
certain state debts. I write to say,
what of course you personally know,
that under no conceivable circumstan-
ces could any such construction Of a
treaty be for a moment entertained by
any president. The holders of state
debts take them with the full knoWl-
edge of the constitutional limitations
upon their recovery through any action
of the national government, and must
rely solely on the state credit. Such
claim against a state could under no
conditions be submitted by the general
government as a matter for arbitra-
ton, any more than such a claim
against county or municipality could
be thus submitted for arbitration. The
objection to the proposed amendment
on this subject is that it is mere
matter of surplusage and that it is
very undesirable when the form of
these treaties has already been agreed
to by the several powers concerned,
needlessly to add certain definitions
which affect our own internal policy
only, which deal with matter of the
relation of the federal government to
the states, which it is of course out OF
the question ever to submit to the ar
bitration of any outside tribunal, and
which it is certainly absurd and prob
ably mischievous to treat as possible
to be raised by the president or by
any foreign power. No one would
even think of such matter as being
one for arbitration or for any diplo-
matte negotiations whatever. More
over, these treaties run only for a
term of five years and until the end
of that period they will certainly be
interpreted in accordance with the
view above expressed"
