Before Team Left the Field.

/ Some question has been raised as to the
result Of the foot ball game on Saturday.
between the two strong local teams. the:
Redskins and the Oly,npias. The score
as reported was 10 to 10. The manager OF
the Redskins. Mr., A. r. Carroll, writes
n letter. in which he explains that the
score should have been 10 to s In favor
Of the Redskins. He states that tirnc-,
keeper called time before the Redskins
retired from the field, and that, therefore,
the score should have remained as 1t was
at that time. Re RI sS5sils

Both Factions Seek the Use of

Official Ballots.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Sept. 14.-In the SUI
preme court hits morning arguments be-
gan in the suit brought by the nominees
of the "stalwart' state ticket to COM
pei Secretary Of State Houser to place
their names on the official ballot under
the designation of republican, and
to restrain him from placing the nomi-
nees of the La Toilette state ticket on
the ballot under that designation.
The motion of the plaintiffs for a
Judgment upon the pleadings, and the
motion Of the defendant for the dis,
missal of the complaint on the ground
that the court is without jurisdiction,
are first being argued.
The defendant contends that the old
republican, state central. committee is
the only tribunal with authority to de-
ternine which Of the two state con-
ventions was the regular one of the
party in the state.
Associate Justice R. G.. Siebecker,
brotherin-law Of Governor La Toilette,
is sitting in the case. 1t was generally
thought that owing to his relationship
to the governor he would decline to par
ticipate.
1t is expected that the argument will
consume several days and that a deci
sion will not be announced until the
court meets again on Sept. 81. The
court room is crowded with state EN-,
ployees and Others interested.

KAISER AND CAR
ARE NOW ALLIES
~
Germany Enables Russia to Center
Attention on War, Fearless
Of Europe.
New York Sun Special Service.

London, Sept. 14.--The Times this
morning prints an important article
dealing with an understanding said to
have been reached BY Russia and Ger
many concerning the far east. The re-
lations on this subject, says the writer,
have been rapidly growing closer and
more intimate between St. Petersburg
and Berlin than between ST. Petersburg
in Paris. <E
, The kaiser is convinced that the in
terests of Germany in the. far east run
I parallel to those Of Russia, ans that At
gain by the success of Russia in the war,
and everything to fear from her defeat.
This, it is pointed out, is not new
idea, but it was only when the war
begun that the moment came for which
the kaiser had been impatiently wait
ing. 1t was when Russia began to real
ize that the struggle was Of unexpected
magnitude that the kaiser took the in
itiative in, proffering the czar explicit
assurances of support, amounting prac-
tically to guarantee OF immunity from
all danger Of interference by Europe.
Aided Russian Arms.
This enabled Russia not only to with.
draw from her western provinces some
of her finest troops for the far east
but even to-. dismantle to some extent
the western fortresses in order to pro
vide siege guns for Port Arthur, sVladi
vostok, Liao-yang and Hardin.
The writer instances the facilities
Germany granted Russia in acquiring
war material at Essen and other work
shops that are more or less under gov
eminent control, in the transfer Of thu
North German Lloyd and Hamburg
American steamers to the Russian flag
contracting for coal for the Baltic flee
and other warships, and even, it i
stated allowing torpedo boats from
Use hichau to be transferred in section
over the frontier. =. -. .5:z
The writer asserts arrangements wer
made beforehand at Kiao-chau to re
ceive Russian warships from Port Al
thur and enable them to coal with tn
utmost dispatch, as was done in tn
case of the Novik.
Big War Loan Next.
It. is believed the next step will b
the floating Of large Russian wa
loan in Berlin. It may safely be az
serted, he says, that the understandin
secures to Russia Germany's supper
in the ultimate settlement Of the term
of peace, and for Germany, as far a
Russia, is concerned, a free hand in til
future for carrying out her scheme @
politics along lines of least resistanc
; in China; that is to say, where it come
in contact only with British interest
In conclusion the writer says:
1.-THE disgrace into which Primo
Ouktomsky, the Russian naval con
mander at Port Arthur, has fallen, give
the measure of the Importance attache
to this movement in St. Petersburg
