It wa*i tied by Senator Palton oC Ore? in a three-minute egsson, stat? ing that the action of the national committee had been fully justified and | npheki. For a moment delegates look ad about for the fire-breathing Book waltet of Indiana, who had led the minority force* and promised a live? ly fight ua the floor. But Mr. Book waiter ant with the Indiana delega? tion, ? baking his head In answer to Inquiries and announcing that the fight had aeon abandoned, as only three delegate* would undertake to bear the brunt of a contest on the jfioor. The report was quickly approv <*d with only a few scattered votes In opposition. The presentation of the report on ?permanent orgenlmtlon was the elg aal far Senator Burrows to yield his wtaoe as) temporary chairman and to ?escort %o the platform the permanent ?charrmaa of the convention. Senator Xo4g* of Massachusetts. Mr. Lodge, 'trim end businesslike, looked as from a later generation than the white haired retiring chairman. His voice, too. has that resonant New England twang, which made It ring out to the Vartbect corners of the galleries. "The fervid fancy of an uneasy dream." was his Indictment hurled against the visionary policies of op? position parties). "*The spplause had hardly died away when Mr. Dodge launched his sen? tence which ctsetrlfied the assemblage Into its first real demonstration of wild enthusiasm. "The president." exclaimed Mr. Lodge, "is the best abused and most popular man In the United Btates to* day ' This was the long awslted signal. Instantly a shout broke from the gal ?*? ? ? I i. ?.*?r.tr from the floor, at first only a tempest of de? tached yells and cat-calls and shouts of "Teddy!" but gradually gathering force and volume until It swelled to a whlrlwfn^d of sound and motion, as delegates and spectators rose en masse, mounting chairs, waving ban? ner*, hau, hankerchtefs, flags, news? papers?anything which could be seised upon to add turbelence to the me. Amid the tumult the band struck up. but the clash of brass and drums was completely lost In the.- babel of sound which welled up from 14*000 throats. Por the flr?t minute Sanator Lodge stood waiting to proceed, occasionally raising his hand for silence, only to awaken a defiant yell, twice louder than before. Five minutes passed, and Instead of abating* the uproar was increasing. Senator Lodge ssnk back In his chair to await a lull la the storm. Five minutes?10 minutes?IS min? utes! There was no lull, no abate? ment. The hoarse roar had taken the place of the detached yells. "Four! four! tour years more, came In a deafening chorus from the full sweep of the gallery, as If precon carted, sac** "four! four!" exploding like the boom of heavy artllery. Fifteen minutes?SO minutes?25 minutes. Now delegations were Joining In the outbreak. Some had mounted chairs ?Texas. Kentucky, Tenneases and were gesticulating* madly. One delegate far to the left had torn of? his coat and was whipping It widely above the head. Texas and Kentucky appeared to be the centre of the agitation on the floor. New York viewed the storm with calm and so did Ohio, except, strangely, one of the lonesome Foraker dele? gates. Judge Marcus Shoup.' who nr ounted on a chair, kept both arms lik motion with a waving flag and a newspaper and his voice Joining In the general pandemonium. Thirty minutes?SI minutes?40 minutes?45 minutes! Forty-five Minutes of Uproar. A fall three-quarter* of an hour h?d paseed In this bewildering con? fusion of sight and sound. For a time some fear was felt by some that a stampede was Imminent. But the political generals were glad to give tlte pent-up enthusiasm of the mul? titude expression and at no time was there the slightest apprehension among them that the well-deviled plans would miscarry by some over? powering movement Frank H. Hitchcock, the Taft manager, moved about the floor, smiling as the tumult was at Its height "The ehears for Roosevelt today will be for Taft tomorrow," said he, with con Aden cs. With the subduing of the Roose? velt storm. Senator Lodge completed his stirring speech and then the con? vention turned to the reports of the lather committees. That no rules and I order of business brought a majority I report against the resolution offered by Jas. Francis Burke of Pennsylva? nia, reducing the representation of Statte to a basis of the Republican vote oast by those mates. Mr. Burke presented a minority report la which 17 of the States concurred. A sharp contest occurred on this question, bringing for the first time before the convention some of Its best known orators, Including Burke of Pennsylvania, Qov.

The resolution was finally defeated by the close vote of 501 agatnet 741. a margin of 35 votes In a total of 077, throe delegates being absent. The change of a single State might have altered the entire reeult. Although defeated Mr. Burke said that the re? sult had shown a tremendous growth of sentiment In favor of this restrict? ed representation and that In his opinion tl. future success of the plan appeared beyond doubt The final details of the platform are being arranged by the platform committee tonight, and tjils accom? plished, the convention will be equip? ped tomorrow to make Its declara? tion of policy and* proceed to the se Section of candidates. Tomorrow's ?esslon opens at 10 o'clock In the morning, Instead of noon, as hereto? fore, so that a full day may be had for the discussion of principles and men.

C, June 14.?Bitten bv a dog Just a month ago. Clyde Hnr.er, the little 10-year-oll ton of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Plnnor ot West Aahevtlle, yesterday dlel In awful *gony. hydrophobia having developed In a most pronounced form. A month ago little Clyde Pinner and several small companions were playing In a pasture near the home of his parents, when a dog, belonging to a resident of West Ashevllle named Sherlln, appeared and, running into the group of children, made a snap at one of them. Clyde Pinner came to the rescue of his companion and attempted to drive the brute away when It sprang at him, sinking its teeth twice in his cheek. The little fellow's wounds were dressed and It was not though that any serious re? sults would follow. On Saturday morning last, however, the child complained of being 111. He was treat ! ed for what appeared to be earache. Everything possible was done to re? lieve his terrible sufferings, but with? out avail, and death yesterday ended his awful agony. A pathetic feature of the last hours waa the request of the little chap that his pet dog should be killed. He, realising that he must die from the effect of a bite from a dog, Insisted that his own pet dog be killed for fear that It might Inflict a similarly fatal Injury on some of his little play? mates. The dog which bit the child disap? peared from the neighborhood short ly afterwards and was next seen at Woolsey, almost three miles away. It was later seen at Beaver Dam, where, showing pronounced symp? toms of rabies, It was shot to death. ' This Is the second death from hy? drophobia In this section within the past three weeks, James West hav? ing died two weeks ago after being bitten by a mad dog. The city board of aldermen have ordered that all dogs must be muz? zled. PUZZLES WAR DEPARTMENT. Can Lieut. Cabanisa Accept Compli? mentary Title of Colonel? / Washington, June 16.?The act of the South Carolina legislature creat? ing the office of "colonel" and be? stowing It upon the regular army of? ficer detailed for duty with the Na? tional guard of the State. Lieut. Cabanlss, Is giving the war depart? ment a tough nut to crack. The au? thorities now have the question under consideration and are trying to deter? mine whether the officer, referred to may accept the office of colonel?al? though the title has generally been considered as going with the place occupied by a retired officer assigned to such duty. The act of the South Carolina leg? islature creating such an office in? vests no duties, confers no emolu? ments, and does not Include a neces? sary exercise of the appointing power. It merely gives, by operation of law, a curtesy title to the detailed officer with a view to establishing his prece? dence among officers of the South Carolina militia. If a commission Issues whioh pur? poses merely to announce the opera? tion of the law of the case and does not undertake to charge She officer with its duties, it is held that Us ac? ceptance would not Involve a for? feiture of the officer's regular com? mission In the operation of the sec? tions of the revised statutes bearing on the case. The question of whether Lieut. Cablness shall be a "colonel" under the South Carolina law and be called "colonel" or remain a lieutenant un? der Uncle Sam's law Is squarely before the Judge advocate general of the army for an opinion.

The fielding and batting of the playera of the South Carolina State league are In danger of never being known unless scorers at several of the four towns hurry and send in reports now a month overdue. It is the rule In the State league for official scorers to file tabulated score sheets with the secretary of the league Immediately after each series. Secretary Houses** says that there has nothing come to him from the Rock Hill scorer, and, officially, he doesn't know whether or not the team is actually playing ball, or In the league', for that matter. He has writ? ten to most every one whose name appears on that baseball club's let* ter head, but so far has not received a reply. The league has been In prog? ress a good long while now, and the only games reported that were played at Rock Hill were those of the open? ing series, which the Chester scorer, who happened to be on the Rock Hill lots, was kind enough to report to the secretary. Orangeburg has also been exceedingly lax. The club has had three scorers, at least. The first man turned in his work all right, the "middle man" hasn't sent anything, while the man now in charge Is filing his reports and promises to aid the secretary in getting those missing. The scorers at Sumter and Chester deserve much credit for their prompt and accurate reports and had the scorers of the other clubs done half as well the secretary's books would be in excellent shape. It was the In? tention of the secretary to publish averages every two weeks, but as the score sheets haven't been filed, this has been impossible. This is a matter which the clubs' officials should not look lightly upon. If a club wants to sell a player It must have the player's average, as baseball magnates have stopped swapping or buying "sight on seen." The secretary is anxious to have the averages kept accurately but right now Is In a terrible plight. It has been suggested that the offending clubs be fined. This might help mat? ters. After the above had been put In type, the State was Informed by Secretary Houseal that he had re? ceived a letter from a Rock Hill offi? cial yesterday in which he stated in reference to the Rock Hill scorer that 'up to the present time we have had none . . f although one of our local men has been keeping score for us and Is out of the city now so we can? not give you the scores as asked, but we will endeavor to do so as early as possible." The secretary says he feels quite sure that the Rock Hill officials will do all they can to get the score sheets, but the matter only shows that the clubs are so wrought up in winning games that they seem to forget about the business end of the situation. Sentiment seems to have gotten the best of them. Anyway, it looks like it's going to be a long time before any averages can be, issued, much to the regret of the secretary and the hundreds of baseball fans who are watching the doings of the State league.?-The State. Newest Thing In Ducks. Ths newest thing In ducks la the Khaki, the egg-producing duck of England. Whether they are more valuable than the Indian Runner In this respect remains to be seen; It Is asserted that the Khakl duck usually lays more eggs than a good hen, Its average being over 200 a year. This duck Is In great demand for utility purposes, and has a very pleasing ap? pearance. It was evolved from a fine Rouen drake and a large Indian Run? ner duck, to which was added wild duck blood to give flavor and hardi? ness. Ducklings can be hatched every month in the year, and no matter in what month they come they can be relied upon to begin laying at five months old; at least this is the as? sertion of Feathered Life the Eng? lish paper. In carriage and general appearance, this variety resemples the Rouen. The color, as Indicated by the name, Is a yellowlnsh fawn, the neck of the drake, wings and tail marked In Imitation of the B? jen. When first produced it was known as the Campbell. The females are marked rather Indistinctly in the plumage, like the Rouen females. Entirely too many of the so-called Indian Runners that we have in this country, which carry this style of marking In the plumage of the fe? male, are probably more or less crossed with this variety. The Khakl are In great demand at present In England, and very high prices are asked for them. We imagine that many of our Indian Runner? of the Rouen type are of this same blood.? County Gentleman.

Ginistrelli Struggled Many Years to Develop a Derby Winner. New York Times. ????. The third victory of a filly for the double event of Derby and the Oaks, at Epsom Downs, In the 129 yearn of the two famous English races, by Signorinetta, has brought into singu? lar prominence the eccentric Italian turfman who owns the heroine of the* two great events, the Chevalier E. Ginistrelli. The owner Is an elderly man, who first took an active part Inf English racing affairs a trifle more than 20 year., ago. He then was a man of moderate wealth, but his turf ventures, which Were directed almost ? excessively to efforts to win the class* ic events of the turf, soon exhausted a great part of his fortune and though he retained an estate in Italy, he made his home at Newmarket, England, for about eight months each year, and gave about all his at? tention to a tiny breeding establish? ment which he maintained in the town itself. The chevalier's farm comprises about ten acres of land and is very modestly equipped with buildings*. There, however with four or five mares he has bred on, year after year, trying to produce a Derby or Oaks winner, undaunted by the flat failures which came to him for an long a period. Of necessity he had to conduct his breeding operational on as cheap a scale as possible and the old man, with his tiny farm, hin staff of superannuated grooms, and stray exercise boys, dismissed fronv other stables and employed by the Chevalier Ginistrelli, because they were the cheapest he could get ham been the butt of the Newmarket horsemen. The Italian's trumpb fn the end In a direct tribute to his judgment and the theory he has upheld through alL his years of failure, for the dam of Signorinetta is one that years ago ths> ' chevalier selected as filling his re? quirements as the dam of a winner in the classic races. This was Sig* norlna, one of the best fillies of her time on the turf of England, and a. daughter of the sensationally success)* ful stallion St. Simon. Only two of Slgnorina's foals lived to race be? fore Signorinetta, and both were fail? ures on the turf, but in the Derby* {and Oaks winner Signorinetta, the ; chevalier haa been recompensed for (all earlier disappointments. The only ) fillies that won both Derby and Oaks I prior to Signorinetta were Sir Chartern Burnbury's Eleanor In 1801, and W? L. Anson's Blink Bonney in 1857.
