All Austria has been stirred by
the declaration of Deputy Adler, in
parliament, that Austria has now
two emperors-one, Franz Josef, to
receive the plaudits of the people
on his jubilee anniversary, and the
other, Franz Ferdinand, to do the
actual ruling. The emperor Is en-
ragged by Adler's speech, and will
doubtless take some action against
Adler.
A feature of the annual military
conference recently held was a
harsh attack by the emperor on his
nephew, for the latter's insistence
on a war policy.

victory is a great one for both the
college and the state of Washington.
One of the principal matters consid-
cred at the recent meeting of the
board of control of the Montana State
Interscholastic. Athletic association
was the protest which had been filed
by the Spokane high school against
the eligibility of two players of this
seasons football team of Butte high

ify the Butte team and take from 1t
the state championship for the season
of 1907, but the members of the board
did not sustain the protest against
either man and unanimously gave
Butte the interscholastic football
championship of Montana
