Governor ana Two Railroad
Ommission crships.

ST PAUL. July 1.-The four candidates
for the republican nomination for governor
having failed at conferences last nigh' to
agree on a temporary chairman, the mat
ter was scheduled when the state conven-
tion met today to be fought out on the
floor of the convention.
Among the men proposed for the place
were Congressman James A. sTawney, F.
c. Stevens and Judge J. II. Steele. The
temporary Craftsmanship out of the way,
the indications were that the convention
would speedily complete its work. There
was a prospect of contest in the reso.u-
tions committee at least on the question
Of county option. The only places on the
ticket over which any fights were eN-
pected were the nominations for governor
and for two railroad commissionerships.
Indications this morning were J. +. Jacob
son would be nominated for governor on
the first ballot.
Jacob +. Jacobson was nominated for
governor by acclamation.
Adolph o. Eberhart was then unani-
mously nominated for lieutenant governor,
the office he now holds.
Secretary of State Julius A. Schmahl was
renominated by acclamation; as was state
Treasurer Clarence c. Dinehart.
George T. Simpson, at present assistant
attorney general, was nominated for attor.
ney general without opposition.

oUIETER TIMES IN MEXICO
Official Dispatches Confirm RumOr
RevOlutIOnists Are Fleeing
to Cover.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-General Myer,
commanding the Department of Texas, tele-
graphed to the War department today that
he had sent four troops of cavalry to Del
Rio, near the scene of operations Of the in
surrectionists in Mexico American Consul
Ellsworth at PorfiriO Diaz in the state of
Coahuila, has Informed the State depart
ment that he Is going 70 make a trip to
the Las Vacas country, the scene of one of
the recent disturbances between the ban
dts and the Mexican troops, to investigate
the conditions there While he will report
his findings to the State department, he
is making the investigation entirely on his
own responsibility.
Several dispatches received through Of
ficlal sources and apparently corroborating
press kilograms regarding the trouble at
Las Vacas were made public today. They
indicate that at the Las Vacas fight sew
eral days ago nine Mexican soldiers and
twelve bandits were killed. Captain Perez
presumably a Mexican officer, was wounded
three times. After their repulses the ban
dts took refuge in the mountains and the
prediction was made that they would be
driven north to Texas.
Officials of the administration familiar
with conditions in Mexico and also the
members of the Mexican embassy predict
an early subsistence of the present insur-
rectionary movement.

WOMEN TO COME WITH BOMBS
SuRrnEettc Declares Her Party Will
Take Way 60 Command At
tenticn.

LONDON. July 1.-The extraordinary
demonstration last night by the house OF
Parliament made by the women suffragsts
in their effort to secure votes for them
selves, had a rather startling sequel today
when one of the women, Mary Leigh, ar
rested for breaking windows in the house
of Premier Asquith. declared in the Bow
street police station that the next time
we come out you can expect bombs"
This radical statement has had the effect
Of drawing a greater degree of attention
to the entire suffragist movement in Eng
land and as a result the police win hence
forth have to handle the women demon
strators with less of good humored toler-
ance and more severity.
This threat by Mary Leigh, which was a
repetition of what she said at the time she
was token INTO custody, is really the sem
sation of the last demonstration, for the
much heralded attack on the House of Com
mons last night was a comparative failure.
Nothing like the expected number of suf-
fragsts appeared and the movement was
lacking in definite orgar gzation.
The two women who broke windows in
the house of the premier were today SEN
fenced to two months at hard labor without
the option Of paying a fine. Compared to
previous punlshments meted out to the suf-
fragists here these sentences are particu-
lRrly severe.

Tabriz, Persia, continues TO be very seri-
GUS Private dispatches received here to-
day say that the people have erected barri-
cades in the streets and the fighting is
going on night and day.
Tabriz and the entire province of Aver
baijan are strong holds of the revolution
lists and the arrival there yesterday Of
troops to strengthen the forces of the
shah has increased the danger Of the
situation. The entry of the troops to the
city is opposed by the revolutionary
forces All the bazaars have been closed,
and there has been some looting of the
residences of delegates to the assembly
and business houses.
Increasing cause for alarm is found in
the fact that Tabriz is surrounded by
Rachin Khan and his horsemen. They are
supporters OF the shah and utterly with
out discipline. Should these riders be
turned loose on the city the lives of even
the foreigners there would be in danger.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 1.-The fighting
which took place at Tabriz, Persia, yester-
day, according to reports that have just
come to hand via Baku, approached the
dimensions of a real battle. Eighty men
are reported killed and many more were
