It gave Governor La Follette more than 17,000 plurality over Rose in 1902, and even then the factional fight, which has since grown into a great conflagration, was burn- ing fiercely. In Illinois the convention, after bal- loting fruitlessly for seven days, de- clared a truce and adjourned for a ten days' rest. Efforts are now being made to arrive at a compromise.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTO WASHINGTON, May 21. — Cardinal Satolli, who will arrive in America next month, comes ostensibly to at- tend the World's Fair at St, Louis and | to_perform a marriage ceremony for | the daughter of a friend. But it is presumed by prominent Catholics here that he comes also as’the direct rep- resentative of the Pope to look ove Catholic affairs in America in per son with a view to establishing an- other Cardinal in this country. The church authorities in Rome have long had another American Car- dinal in view, but a considerable number of the higher officials at Rome { have been opposed to the plan. The Pope, however, who has long favored it, is still said to be firm in his opinion that another Cardinal should be ap- pointed for America as the colleague for Cardinal Gibbons. Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia has been promi- nently mentioned for the new Car- dinalate, and the fact that Cardinal Satolli will go at once to Philadelphia on his arrivel and spend some time with the Archibshop has caused a re- newal of rumors regarding his possible appointment. Cardinal Satolli will officiate at the | from Lieutenant General Sukaroff un- | der date of to-day: | “During the last few days our caval- | v has discovered movements of Japan- ese detachments on the Liaoyang main | Tead northeast of Fengwangcheng, to- f'ward Chanintse and beyond.

The horses of the cavalry |and the Japanese guards and the in- fantry of the line are much exhausted. | “A detachment of Japanese, consist- | ing of two squadrons of horses and three companies of infantry, appeared | in the village'of Zadtaputse, in the val- J‘loy of the Logogouk - River, 11 miles | northeast of Salitszipudza, and a quadron of - Japanese cavalry ad- vanced from Siaskwankhs by the high road toward Saltiszipudza. . “Reconnoissances by our infantry and cavalry show that Japanese guards and cavalry are operating in the valley of the Logogouk River and along the | | Fengwangcheng road. “There are no Japanese along the | banks of the lower Tayung River to-| ward Luanmiao and Talenka. Taku- an and Khondoukhan are odccupied by small detachments, not exceeding in either case a hailf company. “According to Chinese reports, the Japanese are transporting provisions to the Islands of Daloudao, near the| mouth’ of the Taning River.

They apparently have suspend- €d their advance. This inaction causes surprise. and some satisfaction, a every day’s postponement of a decisive éngagement is considered favorable for the Russians, who are daily increasing thelr forces and are enabled by the delay to strengthen their positions. It is supposed that the recent rains ham- pered the movement of the Japanese artillery and compelled a temporary halt. The Russians still hold the rall- road at Tchikau. porsy o E RS MAY EFFECT THE RELEASE OF KIDNAPED AMERICAN Special' Commissioner of Morocco's Sultan Sends an Encouraging WASHINGTON, May 21. — A cable- gram was.receive® at the State De- partment to-day, addressed to Acting Secretary Loomis by J. W. S. Langer- man, the special commissioner of the Sultan of Morocco recently in Wash- ington, but now in London on his re- turn to -lorocco. The message was as follows: “Know - well Perdicaris; also Raiss- | ouli. If mAtters not satisfactory before arrival will arrange ‘riendly meeting without friction... Am leaving in the morning for Gibraltar.” Langerman's relations with the Sul- tan are very intimate, and there is reason to believe that he may be able to accomplish something toward ob- ‘taining the release’of Perdicaris, if that has not been accomplished through |.Consul General Gummere's efforts. — ——————————— STEAMERS WILL RUN ON THE YUKON IN JUNE SEATTLE, Wash., May 21.—Steamer navigation on the Yukon, between White Horse and Dawson, will open Ritchie-Maloney wedding at Spring Lake, N.
