the state is represented by a full
quorum of delegates. 1t seems to be
a foregone conclusion that Homer l..
Castle is the most available man TO
lead the party at the next fall cleo
tion, and. there is scarcely any doubt
that he will be unanimously selected
as the candidate for the governship
on the prohibition ticket of this state.
He has opened headquarters at one
of the principal hotels and is receiv-
ing many assurances from delegates.
The principal speaker at the meeting
today will be John B. Woolley of Hi
nois. He will speak this evening and
tomorrow evening, after the conclus-
ion of the convention, and there VIII

less Too High Statehood Fix.

occurred. Williams, the minority
leader, demanded the yeas and nays
on motion by Adams, of Pennsylva-
mia, 10 go into the committee of the
whole for further consideration Of
the diplomatic and consular bill. The
demand of Williams was refused, Ule
speaker holding that one-fifth of the
members had not risen to demand
the yeas and nays. Il demand that
the other side be taken" called out
Williams. The speaker refused to
take the negative side on a rising
vote, stating that but a short time be-
fore it had been demonstrated that
quorum was present. Then VIII
liams Numbered cut a protest against
the speakers ruling. Attempts TO
secure order were in vain, and leav-
ing Williams standing, the speaker
left his desk and Curtis, of Kansas,
took his place as chairman of the COM
mittee of the whole and general de

On a Dogs Tail to De-
eide Its GenuineSs
or FaIsity.
DOG HAS DIED SINCE THE
Trouble Began, But Trouble
some Tail Is Preserved
in Alcohol.

New York, May 23.-At the quar-
terly meeting OF the American Kennel
club, which is held here today, an of
fetal announcement concerning the
genuineness of a certain dogs tail will
be made, which, 1t is hoped, will def
initely close one or the most amusing
controversies ever known In the his
tory of the kennel club. The aues-
tion, concerning which there had been
so much trouble, arose over the tail
of Eastover Lancelot, the champion
Boston terrier, now deceased. The
tail OF that dog has kept the heads
of American dogdom wagging and
humping for three years, and has Of
fered no end of amusement to out
siders. The dog was originally pro-
tested for having faxed tail and the
American Kennel club decided that
his ''rudder" was as nature had made
it to be.
subsequently, this dog was protest
ed. on the same ground, at the West
minister Kennel club show, in 1905.
The latter body, in Difference to the.
American Kennel club, declined to
entertain the protest and an appeal
was made to the American Kennel
club. The latter ordered the West
minister people to reopen the case.
In the meantime, the dog was killed
in broil with some kennel mates.
The Westminster officials, however,
went ahead, expended much time and
many days. in hearing evidence, and
eventually decided that the tail which
was by that time preserved in spirits,
had been faxed The decision was
duly reported to the American Ken
mel club, and the latter, upon a re-
vision of the case, decided that there
was not sufficient evidence to show
that the tail was faxed. This de-
cision will be officially announced at
the meeting of the club, this after
noon.
The decision is OF some Importance.
as 1t involved the validity of some
prize awards to the dog in question.

GOVERNMENTS LAST CHANCE
TO PREVENT REVOLUTION.

st. Petersburg, May 23.-Prof. Mil
ulloff. spokesman for the constitu-
tional democrats, according TO a
thoughtful article published by him
in the Rech today, is rather despond-
ent over the prospect of staying the
tide of revolution in the country. He
bases his opinion upon the convic-
tion that the government will not
yield full constitution, the only
regime with which he says it is still
possible to- calm the passions of the
people. He regards this as the gov
ernment's last chance, and that a re-
fusal will cut the ground from under
the constitutional democrats and
strengthen the revolutionary ele-

TERRY M'GOVERM
 IN GOOD FORM
Had Rather the Better Of a Bout
 With Britt.

New York, May 2S.-Terry McGov- ern of Brooklyn surprised everybody tonight by his wonderful showing against Jimmy Britt of California in a ten-round bout before the Twentieth Century club in Madison Square gar den, in the presence of 4,OOO people. Tim Hurst, was referee, but as no de Q cision can be given under the law gov erntng boxing in this state the spec tators had to judge for themselves as to the relative merits of the men.
 Immediately after the fight, both the principals, Manager Harry Pollock, Referee Tim Hurst and ten others were arrested by order of Deputy Police Commissioners Waldo and Mathot, charged with participating in and con ducting a prizefsht.
 McGovern was not trained down a.; fine as he had been in other fights Britt looked to be in much the better condition and was about five pounds lighter than McGovern. Britt was clever and shifty and ducked away from some hard swings. McGovern stuck to his old bulldog style of fight ing, but whenever they indulged in a mix-up Terry seemed to have the bet ter of it. Britt landed several hard abs on McGOvern's head and face but McGovern did not appear to suffer much from these blows
 Britt and McGOvern were not given time to change their clothes for street clothes and were driven in cabs to the West Thirtieth street police station clad only in their trunks, shoes and stockings and raincOats Four ticket sellers also were arrested, and two walters for violation of the excise law At the station house all were released on bail.
