RUSSIA FOR WAR.
ST. Petersburg Paper Says Talk of In
tervention Betrays Ignorance.

ST. PETERSBURG, October 2O.-The
Novoe Vremya this morning, deprecating
the renewed talk of foreign intervention in
the Russo-Japanese war, says:
such talk, If based upon the fact that
now and again the voicing of an urgent de-
sire for peace is heard in Russia, must re-
fleet the marvellous ignorance of or indiffer-
ence on the part of foreigners to Russia's S
true internal condition. The fact is that in
Russia as IN other countries, there are
several parties; two of these want peace
the extreme reactionaries, because they
constitute what was known In the United
States during the Spanish-American war
and in England during the Boer war as
peace at any price men, and the ultra rad
icals because they are in favor of hu-
initiating peace which would weaken the
present government. But these parties are
insignificant beside the great body of mod
crate progressives, who wish to see Rus
sia's interior economical capabilities devel-
oped to their fullest extent. and who real
ize that only through a decisive Russian
victory in the far east can the wound be
healed not plastered. Russia has the op-
portunity for interior development, on
which their heart is set

EDWARD ToASTS AMERICANS.
Notable Luncheon to Naval Guests al
London Today

LONDON. October 20-''The American
navy! May its glory never grow lessr We're
the words in which King Edward toasted
his naval guests at the luncheon al Buck
iEgham Palace today. Ambassador Choate
first presented Rear Admiral Jewell, COM
manding the European squadron of the
North Atlantic fleet, and his staff Capt
Colby of the cruiser Olympia, and Lieuts
William c. Watts and Charles r Jewell
aids to the admiral, who were accompa-
MED by Secretary White and Capt Charles
H. Stockton, the naval attache of the
American embassy.
Then, with an informal, We'll, let's have
lunch,'' the king, wearing an admiraPs uni
FORM led the way to the dining ROOM
where eighteen persons sat down, mostly
members of the household, with Capt.
Prince Louis of Battenberg, director of
naval intelligence; Admiral Lord Walter
Kerr first lord of the admiralty, and
Sir Thomas Upton. Ambassador Choate
was on the kings right and Admiral Jew
ell on his left.
The king, as usual with American guests.
demanded their latest stories and chatted
most informally until near the end of the
luncheon, when he rose and proposed the
can navy and the officers of the visiting
squadron.
No formal reply was made, but Admiral
Jewell told King Edward how much he ap
preciated the compliment. The king chatted
with each member of the party, showed
them the palace pictures, and ended the
most cordial. informal party by saying how
he was always pleased to see American
vessels in England. ~t

PROTEST BY JAPAN.
Alleged That Russian Troops Have
Worn Chinese Clothing.

AS indicated in the Tokyo dispatches. the
Japanese government. through Minister
Takahira here. has entered a formal pro-
test against the use by certain bodies of
Russian troops of Chinese clothing, the
offending troops being specified in the COM
plant The State Department having as
sumed at the beginning of the war care of
Japanese interests. and being therefore the
natural intermediary between the belliger-
ents when an advance Is to be made by
Japan, has consequently in this case trans
mitted the Japanese protest to Mr. Spencer
Eddy, secretary of the United States en-
bassy at St. Petersburg and charge in the
absence Of Ambassador Mccormick for
presentation to the Russian government
1t is said here that the Chinese clothing
was not used by the Russian troops to de-
ceive the enemy. but simply to make good
the failure of the Russian quartermaster' s
department to supply much-needed warm
clothing upon the sudden advent of cold
wea ather in Manchuria.
Nevertheless ii Is believed here that the
wearing of this Chinese clothing consti-
tutes a technical violation of the rules OF
war.

THE WISCONSIN BALLOT CASE.
Long Court Opinion Filed at Madison
Today.

MADISON. Wis October 20.-The long
delayed majority opinion of the supreme
court of Wisconsin on the republican fac
tional fight in this state, filed today
by Judge Marshall 1t makes sixty type
written pages, and merely affirms the de-
cision made two weeks ago, quoting au-
thoritieS voluminously.
Principal interest centers in the dissent
ing opinion by Chief Justice Cassoday,
which is in substance that the "stalwarts''
were right and the half breeds the La
Toilette faction) We're wrong in the con-
tenton. He holds that the case comes
within the first clause of section 3d. Re-
vised Statutes and that the duties of the
secretary of state are ministerial and hence
subject to the control of the court.
He holds that the second clause of Sec
tion 30 of the statutes Is merely intended
to cover cases not mentioned in the first
clause, and that when there is a division
in a party it should be covered by the first
clause. Where there are two statutes, the
earlier one special and the latter one gen.
eral. the first should govern.
In other words, the official ballots should
be prepared by the secretary of state un-
der the first clause of the section, subject
to control of the court.
The chief justice says: II am also con-
strained to dissent from the opinion that
the state central committee had exclusive
jurisdiction to determine the controversy.
Without going into the question of the
committee being biased, giving it exclusive
jurisdiction would deprive voters of the
right of being represented in the state
convention of the party to which they be-
long by delegates of their own choice'
The opinion reviews the action of the
committee acting as a committee on Gre
dentials, and deciding in advance Just what
delegates should be allowed to enter the
hall of the convention and participate in
the organization. This feature of the con-
vention is commented on in scathing terms
and the chief justice says the committee
assumed more power than the convention
itself possessed.
