THE Wisconsin Supreme Court has
issued an order giving the "stalwart, y
faction of the republicans Of the State
authority to bring suit against Secretary
Of State Houser to restrain him from
placing the nomination of the LaFollettt
State ticket on the official ballot under
the regular party designation of "repub-
lican," and compelling him to place the
''stalwart" nominees on the ballot under
the designation of republican. Senator
Spooner has won the first round from
Governor LaFollette, but the latter will
contest, and the case will be argued Sep
TENDER 6. The fight is not producing
any republican harmony and the Gov
ernor has the people with him.

Telegraph Printing Machine.

A test of the Rowland multiplex tele'
graph printing machine will be made
this week between New York and Bos-
ton for the Postal Telegraph Company.
The Rowland machine is now in use De-
tween Rome and Naples, and if success
full in the coming test may be used soon
in this country. By the Rowland ma
chine as many as eight messages can be
sent simultaneously in both directions
over the same wire. Only six messages
will be sent each way in the coming
test The messages are sent by an
operator who writes them on type
writer attached to the machine, and they
are printed at the receiving end upon a
tape similar to that used by the stock
broken. BY use of other systems only
one message can pass over wire at the
same time. The machine also means
the necessity of fewer operators, and this
will mean a saving of expense.

These factors encouraged local buying and

In regard toy jai alni the principal

WASHINGTON, March IS. - With
the paraphernalia for playing jai alai.
q game which figures conspicuous!y
In the contest against the contirma-
ton of General Leonard Wood TO be
major general, the members of the
United States senate amused them
selves for more than an hour, protect
ed from the gaze of the public by the
closed doors of an executive session.
A lively interest was manifested in
the game. 1t was stated by members
of the committee that the game will be
introduced at the st. Louis exposition.
Senators Proctor, Cockrell, Quarles,
Foraker, Teller, Scott, Pettus, Black
burn and others, who participated in
the hearings before the military af-
fairs committee, where the game was
explained Ivy experts, We're the eN-
ponents of jai alai.
Senators Cockrell and Foraker, who
have paid extensive visits to Cuba
while the 'pelota" season was at its
height, explained that the gambling
features of the game are not essential
to its adoption by the Cubans, while
Senators Blackburn, Scott and Teller
contended that without the betting
privileges the jai alai company would
not have made application to General
Wood for the concession to erect a
building as headquarters for the game.
The spectacle of senators graSping the
basket rackets in their hands and ges-
ticulating in their efforts to illustrate
the manner of throwing the ''pelota"
ball iii real play was SO unusual that
it came nearer holding a quorum than
have any of the fiery speeches that
have been made for or against Gener-
al Woods confirmation.
After the executive session had adj
1ourned n group of senators gathered
IN the middle Of the chamber, and Sen
ator Blackburn read from the printed
testimony given in the Wood hearing
to prove that the game is devoted al
most wholly to gambling and that Gen
eral Wood knew this fact when he
granted the franchise to the company.
Tic demonstration of jai alai came

LONDON, March 1S.-A Chefu dis
patch says the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Skori, while entering the
harbor Of Port Arthur, struck u sub
marine mine which had drifted out of
place mt the harbor mouth and was
blown up and sunk. Only four of her
crew of some fifty men were saved. Ii
is thought hat most Of the men were
killed by the force of the explosion;
otherwise they could have been saved
by sister ships close at hand.
The charges against the Japanese OF
violating the rules of civilized warfare
in using explosives forbidden by The
Hague convention find no echo in re-
sponsible circles here. The japanese
are acquitted OH that score by a high
naval officer who holds a very respon-
sible position and who said:
The accusation against the Japa-
nese of using explosives to produce
poisonous gases is based on Il miscon-
ception. They are employing the same
explosives as other armies and navies.
1t is notorious that the bursting of q
melinite shell between decks generates
fumes from which the men are liable
to asphyXiation, but the Russian shell
Is no better and no worse than that
used by the Japanese.
A Seoul report says the Japanese
landing Mt Wonson, on the eastern
coast, has been delayed by the threat
ening attitude of the Vladivostok ma
val squadron, consisting of four ships,
which are now anchored at Possiet
bay, an excellent base for attacking
Japanese transports approaching Won
son. The present extensive land move
ments in Korea are directed toward
cutting the communications of Port
Arthur and V~ladivostok, which is now
considered of prime Importance.
The patriarchal General Linevitch,
who was accompanied by General Kon-
chwang and its defenses, which had
been prepared for his inspection, re-
turned to his command at Liaoyang.
He also visited Kiaochow and points
affecting the protection of the general
coast and the health of the zone along
the main line of the railroad opposite
Newchwang. Although disclaiming any
apprehension of the Japanese landing
here, the authorities are satisfied to
have foreigners. understand that the
Russians are prepared for any local
emergency, and the arrival of an addi-
tional battery of artilley and also 100
scouts is significant of coming events.
