BY S. W. WALL, Staff Correspondent of The Call. MADISON, Wis, Sept. 27.—Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Taggart are both exercising a pause in Wisconsin. The Republican factional fight in the State has brought the national campaign, g0 far as influenced by both national committees, to this extraordinary pass. has been absolutely nothing doing here. And this in face of some spirited editorials in Demo- cratic newspapers that no doubt re- flect the opinion of somebody, labeling her thirteen representatives in the electoral college as “Wisconsin’s vital vote.” Of course thig is rot, but nobody who knows him will suppose that Mr. Roosevelt, at least, views the inane spectacle with patience. It is this way—supposing you have not noted it before: What the n: tional committees have to do in pro: ecuting their campaign in each State they do through the State central committees. Il Wisconsin there are Republican State central com- Each represents such a following to enlist Mr. Cortelyou’s profound And without regard to that are rules of propriety that must observed, even in politics, and, see- ing that the matter is in court, there nothing else to do save to do s submitted by respect. the so-called s and the issue Jjoined by the so-called Halfbreeds and the Supreme Court is due to ren- der judgment to-morrow. QUESTION TO B DECIDED. The decision will say which of the two factions is “regular,”. is entitled to the name of “Republican” and may tuke precedence on the big Australian bzllot. Mr. Cortelyou will then. know th which chairman he shall deal, d to the address given will be con- signed such a prize lot of spellbinders and such tons of literature as will | keep the political digestion sizzling to | assimilate between that and election | day. But the decision will by no means clear up the situation in this ready | | fashion. It all depends. ‘8. A. to Commit Suicide | State. Cook, who is the nominee for Governor on the Stalwart ticket, has announced that he will abide by the judgment of the court and if the convention that nominated him was not the “regular” Republican convention he will retire. The chairman of the Stalwart commit- tee has said that such action on Mr. Cook’s part would not end the matter, but would necessitate the committee filling the vacancy, as the convention gave it power to do—but there are not many who believe this. On the other hand should the court say that the Stalwart convention was the thing, as the Republican National Convention said it was, nobody believes that it would have the slightest effect on the campaign of Governor La Fol- lette, except to cause him to hustle a little more. This, of course, adds im- mensely to the interest in the decision. TAGGART, TOO, IS WAITING. But why should Mr. Taggart hold aloof from Wisconsin pending the set- tlement of a Republican dispute? He is waiting to discover if Wisconsin be a doubtful State. With the two Re- publican tickets in the field Mr. Tag- gart will get very busy in Wisconsin, hoping fo capture those vital 13 votes. With the Stalwarts out of it and La Follette left alone to confront his Dem- ocratic opponent, the Democrats would make no extraordinary effort in the It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that Mr. Roosevelt is some- what interested in the decision him- self, as well as all good Republicans. And it is reasonable to suppose, too, that a decision that removed Wiscon- sin from the possibility of a doubt would not be displeasing to him and | to them. It is frankly stated that these con- siderations bring to the cause of the Governor a heap of sympathy that might not otherwise be on exhjbition, and, on the other hand, they work to the infinite embarrassment of Sena- tors Spooner and Quarles, Representa- tive Babcock and their following, Continued on Page 2, Column 5. — % GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN AND LEADER OF THE ANTI-STAL- ~ CARE FOR K DO Raise a Big Purse to Send Canine to Arizona. —_— s | | [ Special Dispatch to The Call [ = PORTLAND, Sept. 2i.—A good big | purse is being made up by the sports | and dog fanciers of Portland to send a | consumptive dog to Arizona.

The suite, which will be oc- cupied by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, is on the Fifth avenue side of the hotel and consists of salon, library, dining-room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Haying no faith in the efficacy of Professor Do- yon's serum cure for cancer and ques- tioning the treatment given Mrs. Em- ma Rutherford Crocker by the Paris surgeon and discoverer of serum, George Crocker has begun suit in Paris to recover $20,000 paid to Professor Do- yon for attending Mrs. Crocker, who died in Newport, R. L Crocker’s bill of complaint is ad- dressed to the “‘President of the Civil Tribunal of the Seine” and in Paris the plaintiff’s solicitor is M. Haquin, while from this side the case is being conducted by Coudert Bros. In posses- sion of the latter is a letter written to them by Crocker, in which he states that in the event of the fuil amount of money paid to Professor Doyon for his | treatment of Mrs. Crocker during the part of April and May last, or any por- tion of it, being recovered, it is to be turned over to the Pasteur Institute of France. Crocker is wiiling that the Paris Tribunal shall decide what re- muneration Professor Doyon and his assistant, Dr. See, are entitled to.

I will not tell you any- thing.” Early in 1902 Professor Doyon’'s meth- ods were criticised in connection with | an operation, the claim being made that -he was advertising himself, as he figured in cinematograph pictures. In August, 1902, Professor Doyon made known a treatment invented by him for anthrax. Last February Dr. Doyon communicated to the Academie des Sciences a monograph on a method | of cancer treatment based on an in- jection of toxine Miccrococcus neoformans. —_—e—————— BRITISH TORPEDO-BOAT DESTROYER GOES DOWN Breaking of a Screw Blade Results in the Loss of the Chamo!

The military hospitals in Tokio, Osaka and Hiroshima contain 10,000 men each. Nine thousand have recovered sufficiently to be sent to mountain and | health resorts. The system of hand- ling and treating the sick and wound- ed is working splendidly, and death rate is exceptionally small. The foregoing figures, of course, are exclu- sive of the thousands of Japanese who are being treated in field hospitals or are on their way home. LONDON, Sept. 28.—The Daily | Mail's correspondent at Geneva states | that Ital Premier Giolitti’'s pro- jected visit to German Chancellor Von Bulow is connected with the cause of peace in the Far East, and that he in- tends visiting all the European courts. LONDON, Sept. 28.—A dispatch to the Standard from Liaoyang, dated September 26, says that the crisis at Port Arthur is rapidly approaching. The speedy capture of the last line of defenses is expected. The recent suc- cessful assault by the Japanese sealed the fate of the fortress, enabling the besiegers to mount heavy guns on hills to the eastward, which command a sec- tion of the town and harbor. The Rus- sian fire for many days has not been as vigorous as usual and it is believed that ammunition is scarce. The cor- respondent confirms thé “reports of severe bombardments, severe losses of the garrison and the cutting off of the main aqueduct supplying the fortress with water. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 28.—The movements of the Russian Black Sea fleet are attracting attention. The ves- | sels recently suddenly sailed at night | from Sebastopol and have not been sighted since. It is stated that the | Sultan has ordered that a sharp watch be kept for them at Turkish ports on | the Black Sea. There are suspicions in some quarters that the ships will try to slip through the Bosphorus at night, when Turkey, in the face of the accom- plished fact, will be powerless and pro- tests from the powers will be risked or ignored. MUKDEN, Sept. ‘The Russian cavalry west of the railroad report an important Japanese movement and a threatened attack. No change east- ward is reported. Four divisions of Japanese remain at Bentsiaputze; three divisions are supposed to be near the Yentai mines and two others west of them. General Mistchenko reports that he penetrated to the Yentai mines and found only small detach- ments of Japanese there. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 27. — A telegram from Harbin says a dispatch has been received there from the isl- and of Saghalien stating that firing was heard at sea on Sunday night last in the direction of Cape Aniwa, a point southeast of Saghalien. 1t is be- heved that a naval fight was in pro- gress. TO COMMAND. —e GRAND DUKE Nicholas Michaelovitch Seems Certain to Be Named Armies’ Chief. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 27.—Al- though an official announcement to the effect is not expected immediately, since it will require some little time to get Russia’'s second. army in the field, the designation of Grand Duke Nicholas Michaelovitch, the inspector general of cavalry, as commander in chief is regarded as practically set- tled. The situation at the front, with two—and, perhaps, ultimately, three —big armies is considered to demand above all else that the supreme com- mander be of such personal authority possibility of intrigue on the part of subordinates, and such a man the Em- | peror now realizes can be supplied only in the person of a member of the imperial family. -Grand Duke Nich- | olas is regarded as being extremely well fitted for this great responsibil- ity. He will not rely upon a single ad- viser, but upon a staff comprising the ablest strategists of the general staff, who in reality will constitute a board of direction of military operations. Viceroy Alexieff is regarded as al- most certain to return here. The re- port that he may become Chancellor of the empire is exploded. He is more likely to retain his title and come to St. Petersburg nominally in the ca- pacity of adviser of the Emperor and thus efface himself as a factor of the military situation in the Far East. The latest development in the sit- uation® at the front is the definite es- tablishment of the fact that Field Marshal Oyama has not begun to move up his left. General Kuropat- kin's report to-day shows that the Japanese have reached Davan, on the west bank of the Liao River. A con- siderable concentration of Japanese is observed at Sianchan, on the Hun River, thirty-five miles southwest of Mukden, and Japanese cavalry is massing in the valley of the Pu Riv- er. The latter is a tributary of the Hun, crossing the line of railway mid- way between Tie Pass and Mukden, and may furnish a natural line ‘of ad- vance from the vlvan. Oyama's armies now apparently cover a front of sixty miles for en- ‘| veloping movements.
