UNION COUliD NOT CONTINUE Address to Swedish King and Peo pleiSeeks to Allay IllrFeeling and Pleads for Neighborly Friendship. CHRISTIANIA, Norway. June 20. The address to King: Oscar, the Riks dag and the Swedish people generally, adopted by the Storthing: yesterday in reply to the long: letter which the King: Fgnt June IS to tne president of the tory character. At the same time, however, it Indicates the unalterable determination of the Storthing: to ad here to the action taken in dissolving: the union with Sweden. The text is as follows: Your Majerty, Norway's Storthing respect fully begs to address your majesty, and through your majeety SwHenV Rlritdag and Sweden's people, as follows: What has been happening recently Jn Nor way Is tfco Inevitable result of a combination of late political events and "cannot be altered and it Is certain that neither of the two peo ples Is desirous of returning to the former condition of union. The Storthing is of the opinion that it ought not to reconsider the various questions of the constitution and public law that have been brought up in your majeety'a note to the Storthing' pres ident In connection 'with the resolutions adopted and on which the Storthing and the government have already expressed themselves in detail. The Storthing recognizes fully your majesty's difficult poeitlon and never for a moment has doubted that your majesty" de cisions are in accordance with what your majesty has regarded as the rights and duties of the crown. At the came time the Storth ing is desirous of addressing' an appeal to your majesty, the Riksdag and the people of Sweden, with the object of contributing to the peaceful carrying through of the disso lution of the union and the safeguarding of the friendship and accord of the two peoples of the peninsula. Union Was Impossible. The Storthing has een from expresrtons of opinion in Sweden that the resolution that the Storthing felt it to be its duty to the Katherland to adopt, in declaring the. union of the two kingdoms dissolved, has in form and action been considered mortifying to fwedeir. That has never been Its intention. What ha happened and had to happen in Norway was merely the inevitable mainte nance of Norway's constitutional rights. The Norwegian people never intended to assail Sweden's honor. As your majesty in council May 2G declared you were unable to sanc tion the Storthing's unanimous resolution for the establishment of a separate Norwegian consular service, and as no Norwegian gov ernment could be obtained by your majesty, the constitutional State of Norway Is ro far disjointed that union could no longer be main tained. Upon Norway' Storthing was. there fore, lmpesd the necessity of procuring wlth- ut delay a government for the country. Every th"er course was closed, all the more so as f'Ur majesty's Swedish government had April 25. already explicitly declined to enter into sew negotiations, with the dissolution of the union aa an alternative in the event that it v as found impossible to arrive at an agree ment In regard to a new form of union. Anunoblty to Sweden Dead. The Storthing, as already stated, and the Norwegian people do not feel any bitterness or antnvorsity again! your majesty or the Swedish people. The statements to the con trary which possibly were uttered on ca tion? have wholly and solely been grounded cit dUaattfifartlon at Norway's position In !. union, and as that source of bitterness and animoclty would disappear with the dis solution of the union. Its effect, also would vanish. Ninety years ef co-operation in ma terial and Intellectual labors have awakened ,n the Norwegian people feelings of 4ncere friendrtjlp and sympathy for the Swedish peo ple These feelings will, when Norway no linger oecupteo a position offensive to her na il mal independence, once more grow apace and Insure the entrance on a mutual uder rtanding between the pooplee. In the belief that the Swedish people hare there views, the FtnrthlRg suggests to Sweden's constitutional authority that they enter upon the negotia tion requisite for a final settlement ef the uifbotutlen of the union with the recognition of Norway's new ttatus and her rights as & tovereign state. .Mny .Remain Good Friends. The Storthing lteU ts prepared to meet every fair and reasonable wfotfc that may be rut forward to safeguard the kingdom's in dependence and integrity. CenMMutkHutll) the two people will be henceforward sepa rate, but at the ame time the Storthing Is fully onvtnee4 that this will lead to the de velopment of a good and trustful relatinshtp !" the defense of their nmtu! interests. If the further settlement can be attained without ltltterness and prejudice, the Storth ing Is convinced that what has hapenod will prove for the lasting welfare of the Northern peoples. For the sake of the North, the Storth ing addreKFes this appeal to the people which bv its magnanimity and chivalry has attained f-r itself such an eminent place among na tions and with which the Norwegian people li's're moM sincerely to maintain good rela tions.

Hedln. .the senior member, after which Tremior Ramstcdt an nounced that Kins Oscar had reappointed MM Swarthlns and Tehrson to be re spectively president and vice-president of the House. President Swarthlng made a speech, during which he said that the hope of Sweden in regard to the union had vanished, and Norway's negation of the unioit had been accomplished In ueh a manner that it would be very difficult to make any attempts to reopen the nego tiations. The president was sure the mem bers realised fully their responsibilities towards the nation and the future. He hoped, however, that a result of the prooeedings of, the present Riksdag would record the honest desires of Sweden. NEGOTIATE FOR SEPARATION Swedish Council of State Proposes Agreement With Norway. STOCKHOLM.

The report of Head Consul A. R. Tal bot was tJevoted to a review of the work during- the biennial term. Speaking- of the centralization of the work of the medical department, he favored the dis continuance of state head ph'yslclans. all applications to so to the supreme medi cal directors at the head office. The ex penses of his office for 1KB were IU.6S3, and for 1904, $24,819; total, S36.50B. Ap peals on behalf of 210 distressed members were received, and the contributions were $21,949. He ppoke In favor of the "foresters' " department and recommended the amend ment of the bylaws prohibiting . local camps or "foresters' " teams from hold ing Sunday picnics or excursions under the auspices of the society, with a pen alty for disobedience of expulsion or revo cation of charter. He commended the Order of Junior Woodrnon as beneficial to the boys. He favored an Interval of three or four years between the meetings of the head camp In the Interest of economy. During the biennial the new members numbered 121,639. and 14S2 new camps were chartered. The Society, he said, now Includes 14.53 per cent of .all those eligible for membership In the states in which It is organized. The report of Head Clerk C. W. Hawcs contained the following: "The Insurance In force at the close of the biennial term aggregated $1,180,678,500. The Society paid 7051 death ' claims, amounting to $12,663,603 as against 5SG0 claims amounting to $19,736,436 during the term preceding.

The lapsed (beneficial) membership dur ing the two years was $117,415. and the lapsed insurance, $176,462,500. The aver age per capita payment to the benefit fund was JL26U. as against 60 cents dur ing the term preceding. The Increase was due to the new rates becoming effective January l, 1904. when the rates of the members were Increased from 25 per cent to 75 per cent at the various ages. There were 2991 deaths from accidents and SOI deaths from suicides. Of the lat ter, 24S were farmers, 30.86 per cent of the total number. The farmers also led In accidental deaths SSS. The report of the board of auditors was next pre sented. Dr. Warner, of Kansas, addressed the convention this afternoon on the merits of the National Fraternal Sanitarium for tuberculosis sufferers.

The Woodmen paid last May $86,000 In death claims due to consumption In April. The doctor told liow the Santa Fc Rail road Company had given a Sl.O00.O00 hotel and site In Las Vegas, N. M., for sani tarium purposes, and asked that each member of the Woodmen contribute a penny a month to a fund for the main tenance of the institution. The expected fight over the liquor ques tion grew bitter today and promises to absorb a large portion of the convention's time, with the result that the rule against the admission of liquor men Is likely to bo sustained. A resolution removing zinc and lead miners from -th list of extra hazard ous rteks was referred to the law com mittee. The report of the law committee was thorn taken up.

Fernanda Eltecu Fr!da Martha Roberta Chartett Mary Maddern By A. A. G. Once 1 stood long before a splendid painting- and read In Ic the awful story of a human soul sroplnjr its way out of the blindness of the dark which shrouds our lives. Into the daylight of peace. I once heard an old-fashioned congregation singing a hymn of praise and the rising refrain told of a dark ness which endures for the night and of a Joy which cometh in the rooming. Last night I made one of those who saw the first among- English-speaking actresses in her marvelous enactment of a Rirl who was lost In the darkness but at length, being lifted up. beheld the joy of morning. In the main part life, to the common ality of us. leads through gray dusk of doubt and uncertainty. Rarely or never Is the way plain. At the crossroads we hesitate and in our confusion be come lost In the tangled places, where no warning voice may reach our ears. The play called "Leah Kleschna teljs of a soul which from wandering far Into the tangled by-ways was found and rescued and In the telling of It Mrs. Fiske. the actress, sounds a warning nnJ holds out a hope. Let us not delude ourselves into thinking we are of different clay than "Leah Kleschna.'" Last night at the Empire she made us understand more than ever that play-acting Is an art rather tnan a mere occupation: that the drama has educational and moral functions and is not entirely fallen from its one-time high estate. Her consummate genius rises above all that Is taudry and make believe. She appeals to us through no paltry senti mentality, but through our Intellectual, deliberate conception of what is eternally true and right. She puts herself in the place of her unhappy sisters and while she charms with her graces, she In structs and convinces. To see her as "Leah Kleschna" Is to know the girl jvho was a thief and wandered in and out j AT THE THEATERS : through the narrow ways until her tired, unsure feet brought her. at last out Into the open- To her womanhood. I can only say in praise of Mrs. FIske that her art Is finer than ever before. That she is still growing although her place in the profession of acting Is cer tainly and definitely fixed at the very top. As always, she is wise enough and gen erous enough to surround herself with a support that is well-nigh perfect. The men seen with her this year In the four "big" male roles could not be Improved upon. John Mason. George ArUss. Charles Cartwrlght and William B. Mack compose a quartet that meet every ex pectation and every desire. They are altogether and completely worthy to bo chief support for our greatest actress. Mr. Arliss was here In January 'with Miss Bates and seemed quite an old friend in his role of the detestable "Raoul." He is a character actor with few equals. John Mason is superb as "Sylvalne." who rescues" "Leah." who has entered his bouse to rob him. Charles Cartwrlght deserves the highest laudation for his performance In the part of "Leah's" father, and Mr. Mack, seen as "Schram," the ignorant, cringing, but not altogether hopeless criminal, gives a masterly performance. The female characters after Leah are not important, but so far as need be are well sustained. The play Is one- of the very best that has ever como from an American pen. It Is melodrama, but exalted melodrama. Its characters and situations are Intense ly dramatic without being theatrical. The plot Is logical and cohesive: Its scenes Joaepb B. Maccabc. rrealdrnt A. A. V. Joteph B. Maccabe. president of the Amateur Athletic Union, will arrive Thursday morning to make final ar raagements for the National athletic champlomblpi to be held at the Expo sition this Summer. The securing of there championship events has been one of th"e chief successes of ihe Ex position, as shown by the hate with which the president of the A A- U. comes to take personal supervision In the matter. natural and unforced, and its lines be long to real literature. The settings are beautiful, and some of them very elab orate. There was a cultured and responsive audience present last night, but It should have been larger. If the people of this town do not support Mrs. Flske's engage ment this week they will deserve In the future nothing better than George M. Cohen and Lincoln J. Carter. "Leah Kleschna" will be presented every night this week, with a matinee Saturday. WOMAN ATTACKS TRUST Mrs. SwITt Accuses Harvester Com pany of Bribery and Fraud. CHICAGO. June 20.
