OP lNI0Ns ARE FILED.
Minority of Wisconsin Supreme cour,
Tells Why LaFollette Ticket
Is Wronu.

Madison. Wis. Oct. 22.-The long de-
layed majority opinion of the supreme
court was filed today in the political
case. by Judge Marshall. 1t makes six
ty typewriter pages. and merely af-
firms the decision made two weeks ago,
quoting the authorities voluminously.
The principal interest centers in the
dissenting opinion of Chief Justice Cas-
soday. which is, in substance. that the
stalwarts were right and the halfbreeds
wrong in their contention.
He holds the case comes within the
first clause of section IS of the revised
statutes, and that the duties of the sec
rotary of state are ministerial and
hence subject to control Of the court,
and that the official ballots should be
prepared by the secretary of state I'M
der the first clause of the section He
dissents from the opinion that the stare
central committee had executive juris-
diciion to determine the controversy.
The opinion reviews the action OF the
committee acting as a committee on
credentials and deciding in advance
just what delegates should be allowed
to enter the hall of the convention and
participate II: the organization. This
feature of the convention is commented
on in scathing terms, saying the con-
mtttee assumed more power than the
convention itself possessed.

TIE WAR ON Rf0RMONS
Secret Service Men Are After Evidence
Against the Polyeamists of
Southwestern Wyomina.

Butte, Mont, Oct 21.-Star Valley, in
southwestern Montana is excited over the
presence of government secret service
men, who are working up evidence against
the heads of several Mormon families,
who, it is alleged, reside with plural wives.
Information has been filed against
United States Commissioner II. Kenning-
ton of Alton. who is charged with poly
gamy by Charles II. Owen, and 1t is
understood that other arrests will be
made shortly.
1t is said that several Mormons Of Star
Valley have been living for years in open
violation of the laws. but that the fact
was not generally known for the reason
that all of the residents of that section
are oMrnons and because Gentiles sell
dom visit the region.
One man is said TO have had five wives,
four Of whom are living, and to represent
family of sons and daughters, grand,
children and great-grandchildren number
ing over eighty.
1t e feared by republicans that the ar
rest Of Mormons at this time will result in
the solid Mormon vote of Wyoming being
polled for the democrats. aud this may de-
eat some of the republican candidates.

LEFT wing contains many Russian dead!
but the shell fire of the retreating Russ
slams prevents the Japanese from,
reaching them. A conservative esti-
mate places the Russian casualties at
not less than $4,000. Probably many
not yet searched.
Attacking Parties AnnihiIated.
The Japanese report their total
casualties at a little over 5000 killed
and wounded. The principal Russian
casualties occurred in determined coun-
ter attacks on each village captured by
the Japanese.
The Russian attacking parties in
many cases were entirely anDihilated
For the first time the Russians have
met the Japanese on an equal footing,
not having strong defensive positions to
depend upon, and for the first time they
have attacked the Japanese in their
own trenches. The Russians every
where fought bravely. but they were
unable to drive the Japanese out or to
held their own positions against fierce
charges. Almost in every case the
Russians retired from their positions
at the first charge and then made re-:
peated attempts to recapture them.
The Japanese left army, with front
of nearly ten miles, moved forward
about five miles, fighting for every inch
Of ground
Retreat Almost Rout.
The final rereat of the Russians was
almost q rOut. The Russians covered,
the retreat we'll with artillery and car
ried away much baggage and many
wounded
AT 1870 this morning the Russians
made a determined counter-attack at
Lamuting with two regiments of in
fantry and two batteries of artillery.
They were repulsed after half hours
fighting with heavy loss. The Japa-
nese during the past seven days fight
ing have captured thirty-four guns, a,
large number of rifles and oVercoats
and Toe prisoners.
The strength of the Russians opposed
to the left army was three corps and;
thirty companies Of artillery; all but a;
very small part were newly arrived
troops. The Japanese soldiers were,
practically the same that fought before;

issued by a civil court Satisfactory
proof Of the innocence of the applicant
for remalrfiage must be furnished in
the shape of court records and after
the consent of the bishop is obtained
clergyman may refuse to perform such
a ceremony without subjecting him
self to cenSure or discipline.
