began to slug. whereupOn the umpire
threatened to disqualify one of the
players. He was unable TO enforce the
rules, however, inasmuch as the Mo
liners had no substitutes.
So incensed are the Augustana stu
dents over the methods used by the
Plow city men that they have decided
TO sever all athletic relations with
them and no return games will be
played with the PecoIas.

bear weight in the choice of presi-

Accompanying his resignation, Ze-
laya sent the following message 10

The painful circumstances in which
the country is plunged call for acts of
abnegation and patriotism on the part
of good citizens. who are witnesses of
the oppression of the republic by the
heavy hand of fate. The country is
staggering under a shameless revolu-
tion which threatens the nations SOW

intervenes in our affairs, publicly pro-
viding the rebels with arms. which has
only resulted in their being defeated
everywhere through the heroism of
our troops.
'To avoid further bloodshed and for
the reason that the revOlutionists have
declared they would put down their
arms when | surrendered the eNecu-
tive power, hereby place in the hands
of the national assembly the abandon
ment of the remainder of my term of

tute of their choosing, with the hope
