Paris. Aug. 3.-The Temps todaR

quis delMunt, the Spanish ambassa-,
dor to France who has just returned
here. He says that the insurrectioni
at Barcelona was entirely distinct
from the movement III the other dis.

revolutionists, who took advantage of
circumstances. 1t was a sudden out.
break and it was rapidly suppressed
by public executions. The revolu-
tionists of Cataloni always take adj
vantage of periods of external diff

culties to make trouble. the marquis
dor did not believe the Barcelona
trouble to be the beginning of gen.
eral revolutionary agitation, and he
said that national aspirations had
nothing to do with the movement. It
was pure anarchy.
The troubles outside of Barcelona
among the worknen and the social.
lists are without durable gravity, said
the marquis, and there was no danger
of the agitation developing into civil
war, as no political organization is
behind the movement.
Referring to the situation in Moroc-
co, the ambassador said that Spain
had given a lesson to the Riffians as
had France at Menebba. The Moroc-
can situation is one involving Spain's
national security and in which her
honor is engaged" the marquis con-
tinued. "My advices show that the
reports of our losses have been ex-
aggerated. They did not exceed 300.
The Spanish soldiers have retained
their positions and they have met
with only check. The troops al
ready disembarked in Morocco will
be sufficient to carry out our pur-
poses and chastice the Riffians. Our
finances will bear the expense easily.
We have surplus of $18.0OO,O0O in
the treasury which will suffice for
everything. We do not require foreign
assistance, but we do count on the
moral support of Europe"

if he So desires. Any athlete, a COL
lege student, now competing for, and
a member of, an athletic club, who
completes for such athletic club after
the opening of the scholastic year will
thereafter be ineligible to represeu~
his college in open meetings. But
there is nothing to prevent a college
man who has competed for his own
club from continuing to represent his
club in open competition and his coll
lege in collegiate competition Under
no circumstances, however. can he
represent both his college and his club
in open competition
In other words, during the scholas-
tic year, a college student must elect
which organization he wifi represent
in open competition He cannot rep
resent both in open competition but
lie can represent his club in open COM
petition and his college in competitions
closed to colleges.

Clever Blind Musicians.

From LOndOn llt-DllS.
 Long before Sir Edward Elgar be- came famous he helped, another man to fame and that man was blind and Is today one of the most gifted organists in the world--Mr. William Wolsten- holme. Sir Edward taught Wolsten- holme the violin at worcester, strong friendrhip springing up between mas ter and pupil and when the latter de- cided to work for his musical degree at Oxford Edgar offered to be his amapuensis Today Wolstenholme great ly cherishes the rough sketches, reminis- cent of tobacco reek,' which the Wor- cester violin teacher made of his exer- cises. Nor was this all, for when the blind musician went up to Oxford for examination Elgar went with him and was as pleased as the candidate himself when his pupil became the first blind person to take the Oxford degree.
 Wolstenholme always spent Satur- day afternoons with Elgar, and the lat ter would often say, willie, have a tune to play to you." and he would immediately play over one of the beau tiful melodies which have since made his fame and have entered into such immortal work as "The Dream of Gefontius" and "The Disciples For his degree Wolstenholme was required to show an intimate knowledge of

 before the King of the Belgians at Brus- sels and the Empress Frederick at Ber- lin.
