TWO TICKETS NAMED
WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS SPLIT
As RESULT OF BITTER FAC.
TlONAL FIGHT.

Madison, Wis, May 20.-Two con-
ventions, both claiming legal status
by right of delegate majorities holding
prima fscie credentials, and both
standing for the election Of Roosevelt
as president and asserting themselves
to be regular Republican in nature,
were concluded in Madison last night.
Two state tickets. one headed by
Governor Robert M. Lafollette, and
the other by Former Congressman
Samuel A. Cook, are in the field.
Characterised by order and the alb
sence Of strife, the deliberations Of
both conventions seem entitled to an
identical degree of recognition. No
clause in the Lafollette resolutions
bears relation to any national repre-
sentative except Theodore Roosevelt.
The ticket named by the Lafollette
convention included all the present
state officers and the platform differs
from the Cook platform only in the in
tensity of its declarations in favor Of
Lafollette reforms.
Since the Baensch and the Cook
delegates deserted the convention to
rally under the banner of Cook, there
has been no dissension in the ranks of
that branch of the party. The orga.
nization candidates and the propagan-
da went through without hitch. Gov
ernor Lafollette regards himself the
choice OF the Republican party. His
delegates, according to the state CEN
tral committees count, numbered
5s6h.
The other convention, endorsed by
Senators John c. Spooner and Joseph
v. Quarles and every congressional
representative, stands ready to back
state ticket which they declare was
legally nominated by 567 delegates,
holding prima facie credentials.

JAPANESE FALL BACK
ADVANCE BODY MEETS SUPERIOR
FORCE OF RUSSIANS AND
RAPIDLY RETREATS.

Newchwang, May 20.-The reports
Of the japanese retreat to Fenghuan-
eheng are officially confirmed.
The Japanese, numbering 10000
men, came upon $4,000 Russians in a
strong position on Monday, sixty miles
west Of Fenghuancheng. 1t being un-
wise to risk battle the Japanese re-
treated in good order and with great
rapidity.
An unofficial Russian authority says
q pitched battle was not fought, but
rumor says there was considerable
loss on both sides during the clashes
with the Cossacks harrassing the
tanks of the Japanese. This division
presumably was executing recon.
naissance. The pursuit was checked
when the main body Of the Japanese
was rejoined.

Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The Chinese exhibit at the Worlds
Fair is filled with pleasing surprises.

scapes exQuisitely carved and so
skillfully Joined as to appear part of

other light material and some made Of
beads artistically arranged with glass
centers. The silk and gauze are beau
hfully hand painted.
