Chicago, June 17.-After deciding
several state contests on delegates at
large to the republican national con-
vention and a number of district dis
putes the national committee last
night adjourned until this morning,
leaving the biggest fight, that from
Wisconsin, still unsettled.
While there was much interest TAX
en- in the settlement of the contests in
Delaware and Louisiana yesterday,
the quarrel in Wisconsin is regarded
as the most serious in the party and
the outcome is anxiously awaited by
republicans and democrats alike.
The Delaware contest was decided
in favor of the Addicks delegation.
Some surprise was occasioned when.
by vote of % to Is, the committee
decided to seat the delegates from
Louisiana who are opposed to the
lilly white" element AS soon as
the decision was announced the negro
delegates had a jollification in an ad-
joining room. The committee decid-
ed to give the Philippine islands a
representation in the convention.
The Wisconsin matter was made
special order for this morning. The
La Toilette men arrived yesterday in
force The supporters of Senators
Spooner and Quarles are equally well
represented. II is doubtful if there
will be any compromise, each side be-
ing confident of success.
H. w. Chynoweth will present the
La Toilette case to the committee.
Whatever the decision by the COM
mittee, it seems probable that the
fight will be carried to the convention.
and then it will be carried back to
Wisconsin, where best posted poll
ticians say the ultimate result will be
a democratic victory in November.

St Petersburg. June T7.-POpular
disappointment over the result Of Gen
craI 5lakelbergs fight, which it had
been hoped might turn out to be a vic.
tory, Is tempered somewhat by the
Kuow ledge that the Russian force was
overwhelmed by numbers. The fierce
character OF the fight is made evident
by the fact that the Russians were
again forced to abandon their guns,
thus indicating. as in previous en-
counters. the superiority OF the Jap
auese artillery. The keenest interest
Is manifested in the reported advance
OF the japanese from Siuyen with
the intention OF attacking Gen. Stakel-
berg in the rear. II is realized that If
this report proves true the Russian
commander may be unable TO extri
cate himself and that If he should be
cut OF from General KurOpatkin' 5
main army the fate OF the detachmen;
would be sealed.

MOROCCO SULTAN
DEALS TREACHERY

Tangier Morocco, June 17.-About
400 Moorish troops of the worst type
were landed here yesterday. They
were sent by the sultan for the pro-
lection of Europeans. These troops
had an exceedingly bad reputation at
Casa Blanca, whence they came to
Tangier Residents of this city are
uneasy, as the troops have no disci-
pline whatever and endanger life and
property. Their arrival is exceeding
ly dangerous to Perdicaris and Marley.
Raisuli is almost certain to consider
this treachery on the part of the sultan
and to cease the negotiations, which
appear favorable. The British and
American authorities were ignorant of
this move until the troops landed and
strongly protested.

Gen. Count Bobrikoff, who was APP
pointed governor general of Finland
in 1899, made himself very unpopular
by his severe measures against the
press of Finland and the stern manner
in which he followed out the policy of
Russia towards the Firms. This led to
serious Tioting at Helsingfors in 1902,
which was suppressed by cossacks.
The last recorded act of Gen. Bobri-
koff was in March of this year, when
he issued a proclamation forbidding
the people to darken their windows at
unusual hours" People who chose to
go to bed before 10 o'clock at night
were subject to heavy fines. This step
was due to the neglect of the Films to
illuminate their houses in honor of the
beginning of war with Japan.

Rioters Want Damages.

Denver, June 17.-FOrmer Governor
Thomas is preparing papers in behalf
of James f. Burns, president of the
against Governor Peabody, Adjutant
General Bell and the State of Colorado,
for 100000 for the closing of the Port,
land mine by the military. Attorneys
for Charles Meyer. president of the
Western federation, are drafting papers
in a suit for $4,000 damages against
Governor Peabody, Adjutant General
Bell and the state.
Meyers action is based on the
charge of false and illegal imprison-
ment by the military authorities. Re
ferring to the order of Judge Thayer
for the production of Meyer before the
United States circuit court at st. Louis,
the governor said that his answer would
be prepared by Attorney General Mil
Ter, and he expressed the opinion that
when Judge Thayer is advised that he
peabody had no knowledge of the
procedure in court until he had turned
Meyer over to the civil authorities, the
Judge will accept the answer and emo
the proceedings. Should the court
hold otherwise" says the governor, "as
a law abiding citizen, l shall follow
such directions as the court may give. -
The federation is getting together
all the men thrown out of work by the
closing of the Portland mine. The
miners say that Manager Burns of the
Portland will appeal to the federA
courts and that be is certain of the re
opening of the mine with the men he
wants and be free from further inter-
ference.
