ruler, represented by a governor gem
eral. as executive. A legislative coun-
Gil Of ninety-six.' serving for life, and a
house of commons Of 1874 elected MEM
bers. were organized.

Brought to Secretary-Owner
Says Canine Was Cross.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H.. Oct. 2o-The
beating Of a collie dog in the navy
yard here by a uniformed soldier under
the command of a commissioned officer
has created sensation which has
brought a demand upon two Congress
sional delegates that the case be brought

The collie is the property Of Naval
Constructor Guy A. Bissett, who ad-
mits that he requested the whipping OF
his own dog. Somebody told Major Da-
vid Urch. a man of wealth and stand
ing in Portsmouth, who started an agi-
tation which ended in letters being sent
to the Congressmen and United States
Senators Of Maine and New Hampshire.
Bissett's ride Of the story Is that his
dog snapped at sailors legs repeatedly,
and that he had him whipped In his
presence by a sailor on the gunboat
Eagle. after the animals legs had been
tied with q rope.
