London, March 16.-Up to noon
the fate of the individual members
of the former imperial ministry in
Russia had not been made clear in

clared that "the majority" of the
ministers had been released, but that
Minister of the Interior ProtopOpOff
had been detained" Earlier advices
had reported his execution by the
TevOlutiOnists.
The czar is at PskOff and the en-
press is at the imperial palace at
Tsarke Selo, according to the latest
information received from PetrOgrad
up to noon today.
The cZarina was said to be in per-

MATCH At EMPIRE LAST
NIGHT PROVED A JOKE
Carlton 0verWorked His lmag-
ination When Telling of
Mat Ability.

When John Carlton made the agree
ment to throw five Butte grapplers he
should have asked for one year instead
of one hour in which to turn the trick.
Even with that 1t is possible that he
would have failed in the attempt, if his
work on the mat last night is TO be taken
as a criterion.
so did Paul Matzig. Duncan Gillis. John
Gebhardt, Olaf Olson and Bush. Matzig
was selected by the easterner to be the
first victim but the "DHchman" refused
to be victimzed. After an hour of some
stifr work and some otherwise, Matzig
was still there without having his
shoulders pinned. The result is that to-
day Matzig's chest is protruding about
four feet while Carlton has emulated one
Young Charley Hackenschmidt and has
slipped from sight. Carlton. from a big
wrestling standpoint, proved joke, and
his work clearly showed that-lke Hack
enschmidt--he had more than freely
called upon the reserve section Of his i'm
agination when telling local sport writers
of his ability on the mat.
Pat Connolly says that there is little
use of his meeting the man now, but II
Carlton still wants some more exercise
he will agree to tip the easterner over
twice In an hour for any sum Carlton
wants to name.
Carlton couldn't be found this morning
and II Is believed he is looking for no
more bouts here. Thus closeth another
chapter in the local mat game.

give Fred the chance to climb back
over them to the top of the list of heavy
weight challengers he will prove his right
to the lead by taking on tifes colored
battler. Boston wants the bout for any
date we wish in May. We are not
anxious to step over the color line, but IL
the rest of the heavyweights sidestep
Fulton and force him to 1t he will show
them up by battling Iangford, something
they all refuse to do"
True to his promise to work his way
back In the lead by meeting all comers,
Fulton is accepting bouts right and left
He has an offer. and says he will accept
1t. for a bout at Milwaukee May 10 or
