WISCONSIN CASE


Today-Much Interest Centered in
\ the Dissenting Opinion Of Chief
Justice cassoday.
Madison. Wis. Oct. 20.-The long
delayed majority opinion Of the su-
prelne court was filed today in the po-
litical case by Judge Marshall. 1t
makes sixty typewritten pages and
merely affirms the decision made two
weeks ago, quoting the authorities
voluminously. The principal interest
centers in the dissenting opinion by
Chief Justice Cassoday, which is in
substance that the stalwarts were
right and the half breeds wrong in
in their contention. He holds the case
comes within the first clause Of Sec
ton 35, revised statutes, and that the
duties of the secretary of state are
ministerial, hence subject to control
of the court and that the official ball
lots should be prepared by the secre-
vary VI Sldle uIluei eiie 9llISI cause OF
the section. He dissents rom the
opinion that the state central commit
tee had exclusive jurisdiction to de-
termine the controversy. The opinion
reviews the action of the committee,
acting as committee on credentials,
and deciding in advance just what
delegates should be allowed to enter
tho hall nf tho convepfion and Y,nr+io;
pate in the organization. This fea-
ture of the convention is commented
on in scathing terms which says the
committee assumed more power than
the convention itself possessed.

natural resources of every sort Will
make them entirely self-supportlils
and an aid to rather than q draw on
this country. This prosperous econ
omic condition would at once alter the
political situation for the better. IN
the opinion of those officials of the
government whose work pertains to the
government of the Philippine islands
it is believed that the remedy lies, first
in further reduction of the present
the Philippines to twenty-five per cent
of the present Dingley tariff.
"rhe principal articles of export are
hemp, copra, sugar and tobacco. The
first two being on the free list, interest
hinges on sugar and tobacco. The
Philippines, who lost to a degree the
Spanish market, with a change Of SOW
ereignty, now look to this country as a
legitimate field for their trade expan-
sion. A reduction of the tariff for this
purpose is opposed by the interest
which represent sugar and tobacco, but
it would seem, even in the event the
entire surplus found a market in this
country. that it would hardly affect
either the beet sugar or tobacco indus
try here.
:"Another primary remedy is, that
authority be given by congressional act
to the Philippine commission to en-
courage the investment of capital In
the construction of railroads by ac-
companying the grants or franchises
to build railroads, In cases where 1t IS
necessary, with e. guarantee by the
Philippine government Of an income on
the amount of the investment to be fix
ed in advance. said amount not to ex-
ceed per cent annually of the prhl-
cipal.
"It is needless to dwell on the neces-
sity of railroads to develop the Philip
pine islands. There is now but one
road, 120 miles in length. From pre-
liminary surveys. it is believed that
1000 miles of road at cost Of 10000
900 would open up the entire archi-
pelago, and that the interest charge
on the Philippine government, If at
the maximum possible interest charge
In the beginning, would be but $780,
O00 whereas, unquestionably, certain
portions of this entire system would
be on a revenue producing basis from
the beginning and the insular govern
ment would not be called upon to make
the deficit.
"In conclusion, those Of us who have
lived in the Philippines and know the
people and the history Of the country,
know that the secretary Of war told the
truth when he recently said that the
Philippine people never have had such
liberty in the history of their country
as they are now enioving."

lowed Pepperman.

Chefoo, Oct 20.-The most import
ant recent events at Port Arthur In
clude the capture by the Japanese Of
further minor positions near Aihlung
mountain, and severe damage of a
Japanese torpedo boat destroyer by.
striking floating mine.
According to Chinese advices which
reached here today, the japanese made
assaults on the remaining outer works
Of Rihlung mountain at the dawn Of
October and were repulsed. The fol-
lowing day the Russians made an att
tack on the Japanese trenches and
they were in turn repulsed. The Jap
anese Immediately followed with an
other assault, resulting in the capture
Of an iron railroad bridge, which is
500 yards from the main fortress. The
Importance of these captures lies n
fire in harrassing the Japanese, Who
may attempt an advance on the
trenches located on the slope OF Kin
lung mountain Since the capture of
the points mentioned the Japanese as
sert that they have successfully resist
ed numerous sorties in attempts to-
recapture them.
It is asserted that the Russian force
at Port Arthur now numbers 5000
men, excluding the militia. which IS
not engaged in fighting, but patrols
the streets, doing provost duty. VIM
ter clothing is very scarce at Port Ar
thur, shoes particularly. The town is
full of the wounded. Flour is plentiful
and the slaughter of horses, mules and
donkeys continues.
The Chinese who have reached Chez
fool from Port Dalny say that the Jap
anese reinforcements continue to ar
rive daily. The Japanese confirm this.
A junk which reached this point to-
day from Port Dalny was allowed to
leave only on condition she take no
coolies, whom the Japanese are using
in large numbers in constructing
warehouses and removing the dead and
wounded. The wounded are taken to
the railroad, and thence transported to
Dalny, from which port they are
shipped to Japan. The Japanese have
practically completed immense ware
houses between Port .Dalny and Port
Arthur, and have therein supplies suf-
fcient to last them until spring. SIM
liar preparations have been made at
Newchwang.
At 10 in the morning of October y
seven Russian torpedo boats destroy
ers emerged from the harbor OF Port
Arthur. Later they were followed by
two more destroyers. This squadron
proceeded to Shaopingtan and bombar-
ded the japanese left flank. Four Jap
anese torpedo boat destroyers hurried
to the scene and Russians retired TO
the harbor, followed by the japanese.
One Japanese destroyer, while return
ing. hit a mechanical mine and was
severely damaged, but managed to
reach Port Dalny. Meanwhile the Jap
anese siege guns continued to drop big
shells in the harbor. the Japanese
claiming they damaged the Russian
eunboat Giliak and another Russian
warship. The japanese at Taku noun
tain have dropped ceaseless shells on
the Chinese town and many rifle bull
let's also fell in the place. Cinnamon

Oku's Army Struck Terrible Blow
North of Yentai.
With Oku's Left Army, Oct. 20. -
18th, via Tien Tsin, Oct. 20.-The sew
en- days battle north Of Yentai was the
heaviest blow yet struck the Russian
army by the Japanese, SO far as loss
of life is, concerned. The Japanese
army, during the week, buried 400
Russian dead left in front Of it's lines.
The village in front Of the left wing
contains many Russian dead, but the
shell fire of the retreating Russians
prevents the Japanese from reaching
the Russian casualties at not less than
$4,000. Probably many more are on
the field in places not yet searched.
The Japanese report their total cas-
ualties at a little over 5000 killed and
wounded. The principal Russian cas-
ualties occurred in the determined
counter attacks on each village cau-
tured by the Japanese The Russian
attacking parties in many cases were
entirely annihilated. For the first
time the Russians have met the jap
anese on equal footing. not having
strong defensive positions to depend
upon and for the first time they at
tackled the Japanese in their own
trenches. The Russians everywhera
fought bravely, but they We're unable
to drive the Japanese out or hold their
own positions against the 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 a front OF
nearly ten miles, moved forward about
five miles, fighting every inch of the
ground, the final retreat of the Rus
SLAMS being almost a rout The Rus.
SLAMS covered their retreat well with
artillery and carried away much bag

Mukden. Oct. 20.-The Japanese are
fond OF night attacks, which they or
gani"e cleverly. They light q series Of
enormous campfires at false bivouaol :
and then stealthily creep up on the
Russian sentinels, who, blinded by the
glare, cannot see the Japanese ap-
lroachn.g. Or they take advantage Of
q iainstorm to try to surprise the Rus
slams. On Tuesday night they adopted
both suses. but ran into a hornets
nesr. The night vas inky black, rain
falling and a cold wind blowing. When
the japanese reached the Russian
trenches the latter received them with
a fierce bayonet charge, throwing the
attacking force into great disorder.
Like rahble they tried to escape, but
the Russians gave them no mercy,
hayoneting them as they pursued. For
a mile the work Of slaughter proceeded
and few Japanese lived to carry back
the tale. In the morning the ground
was strewn with corpses.
