DEMAND COMPLETE ROLL.

Gould claimed there was no complete

election of a temporary chairman. so
that a committee on credentials might
be appointed to straighten out the
tangle and put such names on the list
as properly belonged there. No; Muir

man. In order to bring the matter Of
the rollcau to an issue, w. J. MCGEE
moved that HiIlyer's name be placed
on the list That would not be proper,
according to Murphy, and he ruled the
motion out of order. An appeal was
taken from the decision, and in that
instance it was put and the roll, as
il stood, called. At its conclusion the
chair was overruled by a strictly fac
tional vote Of 60 to 6S. and Hillyer's
name was added TO the roll.
Gould wanted the names Of Samuel
Butler Of Nevada County and James
McKenna of Contra Costa County
added TO the list. Members from across
the bay claimed that the reason Con-
ira Costa was not on the list was be-
cause the delegation to Santa Cruz got
sore on account Of its not being al
lowed to name one Of the delegates to
ST. Louis and had left the convention
hall in disgust. Murphy ruled the mo-

THE JAPANESE SUCCEEDED
BECAUSE OF TENACITY

Those who have watched the Japanese
young man learn to skate can perhaps
best appreciate the tenacty of purpose and
utter disregard of physical discomfort
which make him such a good fighter.
After getting his skates fixed he will
gravely proceed-for a couple of steps before
going the way of all beginners and sitting
down violently. What an American saws
under these circumstances is well known
Still cheerful and smiling, our japanese
young man is not even thinking of strong
language. Picking himself up he will care.

with an exceptionally even temper might
perhaps continue this performance until
the third time before kicking a hole in the
ice or beginning row with a bystander
who has laughed at him. When you have
watched the japanese man repeat it fifty
times, and have seen him get up the
last time with the same sweet expression
on his face, you begin to appreciate him
II the Japanese young man can nut this
amount of perseverance and endurance
cheerfully into his play, what win he not
endure, and where will he be stopped in
fighting?

into the harbor.
The whole population Of the city turned

came to a speedy end, the Japanese adj

the Jap's proficiency after such brief prac-
tice, but the little admiral was so insistent
that the Englishman gave way with good
grace and left the little man in charge of
the ship.
The admiral was on the bridge in
twinking, giving his orders ms though to
the manner born. The a. ray began to
move through the harbor towards the
massive sea wall of the quay
Suddenly the humiliotrng fact became
apparent that neither admiral nor crew
had the faintest notion how to bring the
ship to a stndstill. The watching crowd
on the quay stood transfixed awaiting the
imminent disaster, but the plueky little
admiral with the utmost sanghoid gave or
ders that the cruiser should be steered
round and run like a kitten in pursuit of
its tail.
This maneuver was kept up till the fires
had been extinguished and steam let off
