seems that the severance of athletic relations is almost inevitable.
 Beginning with the McCracken case four years ago there have been minor tilts between the athletic authorities of the two institutions up to the pres ent year, when Harvard questioned the eligibility of Lamson, Penns right tackle. Pennsylvania maintained that Lamson was eligible for the local eleven and positively, yet politely, no. tified Harvard that Lamson would take part in to-day's game.
 It was announced to-day that Key. holds, who returned to Pennsylvania this fall for postgraduate course in law, would take part in to-day's game, notwithstanding that Dean Lewis had held that he was ineligible.

Philadelphia. Pa, Nov 11-A spec lal dispatch from Shamokln, Pa, to the Evening Telegraph, says:

 The convention will stand for an eight hour day.

 Recognition of the union in short is to be the aim and goal of the con- vention and to obtain this John Mitch ell stands committed.

HISTORY OF FINLAND.

FinlaIIu, Nn,cn mas won freedom from the cZar, has an area of 142,000 square miles and a population of about 2,700,000 says the Chicago News. The largest cities are Helsingfors, the cap ital; Apo, Viborg and Tammerfors. Finnish is the language of the common people, but Swedish is spoken by many and Russian by few. Swedes form about 13 per cent of the population.
 Finland was under Swedish rule for 600 years, enjoying an autonomous constitutional government. By the treaty of Frederickshamn in 1909 the country was ceded to Russia, but 1t re tained its laws and practically it's own system of home rule until in 1S98 when the present czar began his policy of repression. with view to completely Russifying the, duchy. In 1902 the last yestige of Finnish autonomy was destroyed, and Russian governor general with autocratic powers was placed in charge Within the last few years Helsingfors and other cities in Finland have been the scenes of many assassinations and disorders.
 Dairying is one of the principal in- dustries of Finland, and large amount of butter is exported annually. The census of 1899 showed that the farm CTS owned 30S, ,4s6 horses, 1,457,423 cat tie, 1,031, 185 sheep and 214,206 swine. In the northern part of the country, which is occupied to large extent by nomadic Films and Laplanders, there were 119,917 reindeer. The leading ex- port of the duchy for many years has been timber. the value of that shipped out in 1900 amounting to $22, ,7S0,000. The chief manufactured products are lumber and wooden articles, textiles, leather, flour, iron and paper
 Helslngfors and Apo are the best known of the Finnish cities All the steamers from Stockholm touch at these places on their way to St. Peters burg, and they are frequently visited by tourists They are also connected by rail with the czars chief city. In appearance the Finnish towns resemble those of Sweden except that they are usually dominated by one or more large churches of the characteristic Russian type.
 Helsingfors has close to 100000 in- habitants. Abo 10000, Tammerfors 35,- GOO and yiborg 30,000 The population Is overwhelmingly Lutheran in religion. In 1899 there were 2.620,S91 of that faith. 48S12 Orthodox Greek, 2.620 Baptlsts. 560 Roman Catholics and 300 Methodists. Nearly all the people are educated, there being numerous public, parochial and travelling schools, besides universities and colleges.
