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

Newchwang, May 2o.-The reports
of the japanese retreat to Fenghuan-
cheng 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
fanks of the Japanese. This division
presumably was executing recon-
naissance. The pursuit was checked
when the main body of the Japanese
was rejoined.

TWO TICKETS NAME.N}
WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS SPLIT
AS RESULT OF BITTER FAC.
TIoNAL FIGHT.

Madison, Wis, May 2O.-Two con-
ventions, both claiming legal status
by right of delegate majorities holding
prima facie 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.
characterized 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
I.afollette 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
trail committees count, numbered
5851s.
The other convention, endorsed by
Senators John c. Spooner and Joseph
V. Quarles and every congressional
representative, stands ready to back
a state ticket which they declare was
legally nominated by SGT delegates,
holding prima facie credentials.

When tn. Poles Were Warm

Among the most interesting discov-
cries made by the Swedish antarctic
expedition, which has spent two years
In the south polar regions, is that OF
the fossil bones Of many vertebrate
animals. including some Of great size,
together with abundant remains OF
plants. These show that, as in the
case Of the north polar regions, q
mild climate once existed where now
everything is in the grip of perpetual
frost The explorers found evidence
that great forests had once tiourished
on the borders of the antarctic CONT
nent, and the animal remains indicated
that vast expanses of herbage must have
existed there to serve as feeding
grounds. Strange birds probably were
also among the inhabitants Of this ice

since their state Of preservation on ar

little progress has been made in the
inquiry. Such indigos as the govern
