DANISH CABINET
SPLIT IS AVERTED
But Exciting Sessions Are Ex-
pected in Rigsdag, Which
Meets Today.

Copenhagen, Oct. "a ministerial
crisis here which had long been threat
ened has been averted, assurances Of
support having been given by his col.
leagues to Minister Of Justice Alberti,
who insisted on bringing in law to
re.establish the whipping post for
thugs. Tho a cabinet split has thus
been averted, it will cause an exciting
session of the Rigsdag, which convenes
today.
The Rigsdag was dissolved in May
last because the ministry was unable
to prevail upon it to enact the whipping
post bill and on account Of differences
in the cabinet on the subject. Since
then the matter has been heatedly dis
and now the apple Of discord is once
more thrown into the Rigsdag. The
outcome is awaited with Keen interest

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Oct. Ex-senator John
G. ,Spooner, in a statement made to the
public last night, replies to Lincoln J.
Stetfens article in Mcclure g Magazine
in which Steffens said that the "big
business men of Wisconsin got together
and bought the junior United States
senatorship for Spooner.'
In his statement Senator Spooner
holds Isaac Stephenson of Marinette
responsible for the charge made by
Steffens. In fact, the statement is a
challenge to Stephenson to accept the
responsibility for the charges and de-
mand that the Marinette man produce
the proof.
Senator Spooner denies the charge alb
solutely and in part says: ''The arti.
Gle does not touch the real merits Of
the controversy, which has broken the
republican party in Wisconsin into two
bitter factions. On the whole, it seems
to be partizan brief for Governor La
Toilette. It's inspiration is unmistaka-
bic and it's purpose evident. It dis
closes a vindictiveness which does not
respect even the grave and is altogether
characteristic Of the system now in
vogue in Wisconsin.

COLLINS DIDN'T
ADVISE MARTIN
The Judge Disclaims Any Con-
nection with the I.atter's
Recent Action.
He Thinks It Unnecessary to In
dictate Significance of the
Change.

When James A. Martin assumed
charge Of the Dunn campaign, he acted
wholly upon his own responsibility SO
far as concerned Judge L. w. Collins,
whose pre-convention campaign he man
aged. To make this point perfectly
clear, Judge Collins today issued the
following statement
II have so often been asked as to my
connection with the recent change in
the management Of affairs at republi-
can headquarters that it is proper for
me to state publicly that I had nothing
whatever to do with it. It follows that
| gave no advice to Mr.. Martin, one
way or the other. 7 am quite
certain that he took the step without
counselling with any of the men with
whom he was SO closely associated in
the pre-convention contest. At any rate
he has assumed full responsibility for
his course and is prepared, he says, to
take the consequences when his mo-
tives are questioned. -.
50 It was a matter of common knowl-
edge for more than a week before Mr..
retary OF the executive committee that
radical changes were necessary, that
the campaign was in bad shape and
that an almost irresistible pressure had
been brought upon Mr.. Martin to take
full and supreme control Of affairs. This
was a great compliment to hims and
the confession implied what need not
point out. A blind man can see it. He
has stated his reasons for stepping into
the breach and attempting to put affairs
in shape for victory and they are be-

SUMMARY OF WAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Russian war office admits
chat some worry Is caused by the
fact that Kuropatkin's scouts have
been unable to locate Kuroki s main
army, which comprises the extreme
Japanese right. It is intimated
that this condition may contain the
potentialities of big surprise.
While Kuropatkin is disposing his
forces to meet any possible conting-
ency st. Petersburg holds to the
opinion that he will not accept a
general engagement, but will with
draw to Tie Pass. A dispatch from
Shanghai says that a Russian war
ship, supposed to be the Bayan of
the Port Arthur fleet, is in Hang
chau bay. It is not known when she
left Port Arthur.
