DUBLIN, July 26.—Three men and
one woman are dead and more than
sixty persons are in the hospital

•f the King's Own Scottish Borderers
Kate today firing into a mob in the
Streets of Dublin. Seven of the
wounded are expccted to die. Among
them are three women and a boy of
ten years.
The affray was the result of a gun-
running exploit of the Nationalist vol-
unteers, aided by a jnob composed
largely of women and youths.
A consignment of rifles, said to
Dumber 10,000, was landed today at
Howth, nine miles from Dublin, from
a private yacht.
Ths Nationalist volunteers cut the tele-
graph wires and stopped travel on tbe
Dublin road and, according to reports,
sent, away most of the rifles, together with
70,000 rounds of ammunition, In motor
cars.
A battalion of the King's Own Scottish
Borderers was ordered to capture the
arms today when the authorities beard the
t t volunteers were bringing them Into the
'{ city. Tbe soldiers encountered a detach -
I J meat of tbe volunteers at Clonmell bridge.

Soon a great crowd collected and follow-

for John Redmond and home rule. Finally
the mob began throwing bottles and stones.
Injuring several soldiers. To the attack
tbe battaUon replied with a scattering
fusillade. In an Instant the street was

WN STRIKING contrast with the tense situation of the moment and the aloofness of Great Britain, while Ger-

ing the Emperor and King George riding together in friendly discussion of international relations.
In the lower picture is the scene when the leading trumpeters sounded a fanfare during the wedding parade,
significant of peace and joy of the moment and of the expectation that strong amity of the royal personages
concerned would continue unimpaired for many years to come.

The Servian reply to th® Austro-

posed an appeal to the powers at The

SUBMISSION
IS LOST BY
7,517 VOTES
Confidence Generally Is Expressed That
Prohibition Has Been Definitely
Defeated by Large Majority.
HOBBY LEADING COMPETITOR
With Exception of Two Running for Congress-
man-at-Large Prohibition Candidates for Most
of Higher Offices on Ticket Fail to Give Evi-
dence of Coming Out Ahead in Primaries.
With approximately 353,000 votes from 217 counties tabulated in
the race for Governor at 2 a. m., James E. Ferguson was leading by
32,633. The analysis of the vote that has been accepted, or conceded
to be correct in all the more important pro and anti districts of th$
State, leaves not the slightest room for doubt that Ferguson is nomi*
nated by upwards of 40,000.
-Early this morning the vote for Governor stood as follows:
Ferguson, 190,987; Ball, 158,348; Morris, 4,661.
During the night the vote against submission became steadily
enlarged and was registered at 115,744, while the submissionists added
to their total neither rapidly nor strongly, in comparison, and against
this array mustered 108,927 votes. Confidence generally is ex*
pressed that the submission proposition already is definitely defeated
and that a decisive defeat will be the result when all the returns are in.
William P. Hobby's showing early this morning is the best in
the varying record of the Lieutenant Governorship contest adduced
from the reports of the past twenty-four hours, and he is now stand-
ing 1)1,357, as against 117,184 for his prohibition opponent, former
Senator B. B. Sturgeon of Paris.
In fact, with tbe exception of two of the candidates for Congresiman-at-
Large, prohibition candidates for most of the higher offices on the ticket con-
sistently failed throughout Sunday to give evidence of liability of coming out
ahead in the primaries. In some of these contests it is apparent that many
failed to vote, and the governorship continues to be practically the only of-
fice that aroused enthusiasm to a degree which brought out the full strength
of the electorate that participated.
Additional returns at and after 1 o'clock this morning brought the lieu-
tenant governorship totals up to 125,053 for Hobby and 121,000 for Sturgeon.
Treasurer J. M. Edwards has a lead of 23,000 over his opponent, and tallies
125,000 votes. Judge Davidson will retain his place on the Court of Criminal
Appeals with a decisive endorsement of 141,000 votes to Faulk's 83,000. Davis
and Halbert are running a fairly close race, with about 14,000 excess in favor
of the former, for the office of Commissioner of Agriculture. Railroad Com-
missioner Earle Mayfield has a walkover for the retention of his office—
137,054 to J. M. Arnold's 73,000—and Doughty leads Marrs for Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction by 130,100 to 87,650.
Several of the antl counties came In
strongly for Ferguson Suuday afternoon
although none of their returns Is surpris-
ing. Washington County registered for
Ferguson 1,423 to 2B. Starr County gave
him fl*4 to 10 for Ball. Jefferson County.
Hobby's home, which had been even more
positively claimed by Ball than Ferguson,
showed up in the latter'* behalf, J.lnS to
l.tlSTi. Jefferson bestowed upon Hobby
for Ihe Lieutenant Governorship 2.M3
votes, and bad but 103 to npure for Stur
geon. Twenty seven bo\e* 111 McLenuun
County, the pivotal dl^trb-t of Central
Texas, while favoring submission by 2,069
to 1,11(17, early gave Ferguson 2,1576 and
Ball 2,C«oT. Illatico voted for Ferguson at
the rate of five to one. Incomplete returns
from Tarrant County gave him S.90* and
Ball 3,027. I'ust dry ICIlla County re^
warded .Mm Ferguson with a majority of
fifty votes for most nf Its precincts,
gave submission a very strong lend.

Among the counties In this region from
which scattering returns placetf Ball In
the lead, are Ben, Frio, Milam, Baatrop.

According to general returns after mid-
night, and according to statistics on hand,
the anti prohibitionists Mean to have con-
trol of the next Senate. Control of tl»»
