Story From Invalid Chair.

WASHINGTON, May ia climax
in the Tyner- Barrett postoff1ce case

aged and hopeless paralytic, was

Ia TOILETTE AGAIN.
His Manager, Says the
Governor Will Be Renominated.

MADISON, Wis. May 1S.-H N
Chynoweth, Governor La T0iNttes
chief adviser and political manager,
said that the governor would be re-
nominated without any question, and
that his majority in the convention
would be from so to 100.
The managers Of the Baensch and
Cook candidates., however, declare
they are confident Of defeating the
governor and say the opposition will
have majority of so in the conven-
ton.
Unbiased observers believe that the
contest will be close and that the re-
suit will depend upon how the con-
tests come out. There will be about
one hundred contested delegates, and
the state central committee, which is
controlled by the governor, will prob
ably seat the La Toilette contestants
in the temporary organization. AS
these contested delegations, except
those from the particular district
under consideration, will vote upon
the contests, it is believed the La Fol-
lette forces will control.
If the state central committee gives
each Of the contesting delegations half
a vote apiece, as has sometimes been
the custom, the opposition to the gov
ernor will control the convention. It is
not likely that the committee will do
that.
The La Toilette forces now claim
$40 Of the 1865 delegates to the conven-
ton. The opposition claims 512. The
result of the caucuses was disap-
pointment to the opposition. It is ex-
pected to get at least "a delegates,
while it ssecured only II. The opposi-
tion managers, however, are apparent
ly hopeful and declare that the gov
ernor will not be renominated. They
expect to control the convention COM
mittee on resolutions and thus secure
a conservative" platform.
It is not believed the governor will
stand for this. II he controls the con-
vention, and the opposition has the
congressional district caucuses, which
virtually name the committee on reso-
lutions. it is believed that he will ap-
peal to the convention to override the
recommendations Of district caucuses
and name a resolutions committee In
harmony with his views.
The first fight In the convention win
be on the resolutions committee. 1t

Russians Can't Believe Il.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 18.-The
report that the Japanese have taken up
a position north of Mukden thus block
ing the further retreat Of the Russians
is discredited here. An officer Of the
general staff points out that the only
route by which the Japanese could
have marched thither is the most
mountainous and would give the RUS
slams an opportunity of overwhelming
the enemy. It is stated that the gem
eral military position of the three jap
aness divisions marching slowly to-
ward Liza Yang is known. One 10
along the Fen Huang Checg road, the.
others are some distance to the right
and left. A battle is not expected for
some days owing to the extreme care
and slowness of the Japanese advance.

Russia's Religion.

To many the nature of Russia's re-
liginn is only vaguely understood.
Christianity was introduced into the
country in the ninth century. The Es-
tablished church. says our authority,
is identical in doctrine with the Greek
church. The liturgy. which is read In
Slavonic, is the one used originally by
the church at Constantinople Until
recently any form of dissent was not
tolerated. Under the laws of Alexan-
der H. Catholics and Protestants have
equal rights with members of the Es-
tablished church.-Harper's Weekly.
