WILL LISTEN TO RIKSDAG
King of Sweden Says He Does Xot
Expect to Hear Such a Wish
Expressed by the Leg
islative Body.
STOCKHOLM, June 27. King Oscar
has directed the court marshal to issue
the following statement regarding the
rumor that His Majesty would be will
ing to place a Prince of the House of
Bernadotte on the throne of Norway:
"The King does not approve the Idea
and will not consent thereto. The only
condition under which His Majesty
could consider this decision would be
the unexpected expression of the wish
of the Riksdag that a representative
of the House of Bernadotte would
ascend the Norwegian throne."
King Oscar has issued a letter ex
pressing his thanks for all the proofs
of loyalty and affection he received
recently from thousands of persons
throughout the country.
LIVELY SPEECHES IX RIKSDAG-
Swedes Resent Insult, but Do Not
Seem Anxious to Fight. ,
STOCKHOLM, June 27. Both nouses
of the Riksdag today elected extraor
dinary comraitttees to which were re
ferred the government bill looking to
a settlement with Norway.
The Senate committee consists of
nine anti-government and three pro
government members and the House
committee of rive pro-government,
flvo anti-government and two indepen
dent members.
The debate on the remission of the
bill brought out fiery speeches in which
the action of the Norwegian Storthing
was condemned and the Swedish Cab
inet severely criticised. The tenor
of the speeches throughout the debate
In both houses leaves the impression
that the majority of the speakers were
of the opinion that a peaceful solution
of the difficulty was extremely im
probable. In the Senate, C. A. Berg,
who initiated the debate, said:
"We roust not use force to sustain
the union, which is valueless to us
under existing conditions, but the
Riksdag does not recognize the illegal
and revolutionary breach of the union
and does not recognize Norway as a
sovereign state. Sweden's representa
tives must consider Sweden's safety
and this can only be done through a
Cabinet having the full confidence of
the Riksdag."
Sweden to Remain Faithful.
Herr Hammarskjold said that the
action of the Norwegian Storthing was
revolutionary and it had raised such a
storm of indignation in Sweden that
all parties had rallied to the support
of King Oscar, assuring him that Swe
den would remain faithful even though
Norway had proved false. Sweden, he
said, had received a blow in the face
which had awakened the people from
their lethargy, and they demanded
different action from that taken by
the Cabinet.
The people wore disappointed at the
Cabinet's wavering proposals. The bill,
he said, was much too moderate, and
should have strenuously, censured the
Storthing. It was unworthy of Sweden
to commence negotiations with revo
utionlsts, and Parliament and the
Cabinet should propose conditions
which Sweden would accept, telling
Norway that as she had broken away
from the union, Sweden would be will
ing to separate, but that Norway must
agree to Sweden's conditions. If Nor
way did not accept, then Sweden should
enforce her conditions by war.
"War Rather Than Dishonor.
The speaker said he preferred war
to tne sacrifice of Sweden's honor, and
if Sweden was not prepared to enforce
her conditions, then she deserved the
contempt of all Europe. Sweden's con
ditions should be moderate, but once
they are offered they must stand. In
conclusion Herr Hammarskjold said
that the Cabinet and the Parliament
must understand each other, and the
Cabinet's proposal to open negotiations
with Norway was not acceptable to the
people of Sweden.
Pastor Waldestrom, speaking in the j
House, said he was willing to remit i
the bill in order to prevent nasty !
repressions in debate, but the union
with Norwas- amounted to nothing. He!
said that in Norwegian schools In !
recent years, children had been taught
to hate Sweden, and continued:
"I am against war but it may have to
come as a last resort. Norway's ac
tion amounts to revolution and should,
be treated accordingly, a deadly in
sult to Sweden. The government's prop
osition opens up the probability of war.
Its weakness lies in tHe fact that Nor
way, having broken the union. Is lia
ble to break treaties.
King's Message Not Admired.
Baron Kennedy, speaking in the Sen
ate, said: "If the King's message ex
presses his opinion he lias lost two
crowns Instead of one."
This remark was greeted with great
cneering by the anti-government mem
bers. Minister of Justice Berger, in the
House, defended the Cabinet and said
that Sweden did not wish to force
Norway unwillingly into a union. Such
action would mean -a succession of re
bellions which Sweden would have to
suppress. It would be useless, he said,
to submit the -question to the Norwe
gian people who were more than ever
determined to break away from the
union. If Sweden had at first laid down
conditions and Norway refused to ac
cept there would have been no re
course to Sweden but that of war. The
Minister defended the action- of the
government and said it would have
been .feeble Indeed if they had yielded
to the popular clamor for war.
Faced by Two Alternatives.
Premier Ramstadt then spoke. He
satd:
"After June 7, Sweden had two alter
natives: One that or force and the
other reluctantly to accept dissolution.
Nobody openly advocates force but
some persons advocate a procedure
Which will ultimately lead to war. The
object of war would be to compel Nor
way to retrace its actions, but anger
mutt not blind us to our own Interests
and our Interests are against forcing
Norway into any kind of a union. A
conquered Norway, while of no ad
vantage, would forever be a source of
danger.
"It is best to assist In the dissolu
tion of the union without harsher con
ditions than the future safety of the
penin&ual demands."
The Premier declined to answer crit-

WILL SIFT IMMIGRANTS.
England Won't Receive More Unde
sirable Aliens.
North American Review.
For years England has been a sort of
clearing-house for undesirable emigration
to the United States from many countries.
Many emigrants rejected for passage at
Continental ports found It easier to get
to England than to return to their homes.
The enormous alien and British emigrant
traffic from British ports has resulted in
the refuse being left uvon British solL
-The greater number of deportations from
the United States are returned to Eng
land, even though they may have come
originally from other foreign countries.
The effect of this upon British popula
tion Is almost indescribable. Charitable
institutions, prisons and hospitals are
crowded with aliens, and some of the
trades are so burdened with this low
grade of labor that the British workman
is driven out. The reactionary effect upon
emigration to North America is also
thoroughly bad. for even If once de
feated in his purpose the alien in England
never quite gives up hope of being able
to continue his Journey, and in many
cases, with a slight Improvement in phy
sical or financial condition, he is able to
accomplish It. No law could be adopted
by a foreign country which would be of
more practical benefit to the United
States than the immigration restriction
act which the English people now have
under consideration as a measure of self
defense. To Japan for Uic Summer.
(Baltimore Herald.)
Already there are Indications that the
tide of tourists Is to be diverted toward
Japan. The deluge of books Japanese has
brought the land of Nippon Into the light
of reality and has disclosed charms which
are enticing to the sated palates of the
Intercontinental flitters. Heretofore vis
itors to Japan have been largely mission
aries, merchants, teachers and consular
officers. These personages make up the
advance tide of modern travel. They are
the pioneers of the present who blaze the
paths to new fields of delight, new climes,
new conditions and new cults.
There is today no more attractive and
Inviting country for American visitors
than the Sunrise Kingdom. There is no
name so magic or so popular as that
which brings to the mind the little fel
lows in brown with their fertile resources,
miniature manners and big Ideals.
The sacred mountain that figures in all
Japanese art Is destined to figure in the
calculations of Americans seeking new
and attractive routes to travel. What
ever disposition has existed to restrict the
entrance of Japanese into this country
will be met by the reverse condition, for
Japan looms large in the calculations of
steamship companies and other promo
ters of travel. The Summer exodus of.
Americans to Japanese resorts Is bound
'to assume large proportions and to bring
the two countries into even more inti
mate connection.

CONFIRMATION
GIVEN
Members of General Staff Give No
Credence to Report and 'Declare
That No Special News
Has Been Received.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 2S. (2 A. M.)
A" rumor spread throughout the city
last night that General Kuropatkin had
been killed. This rumor was connected
sometimes with a report that 70,000 Rus
sians had been cut off by General Nogl's
army and that Kuropatkin had been
taken prisoner.
Nothing confirmatory of these rumors
has been received, either by the general
staff or in press dispatches. The members'
of the general staff say that no reports
of special Importance have been received.
A report received from General Llne
vltch Indicates that the Japanese ad
vance continues steadily, and that the
Russian van posts, under pressure, are
retiring, fighting.
VICTORY IS NOT LOOKED FOR
Russian Military Experts TakcI
Gloomy View of Things.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 27. The
military experts txko anything but a
hopfiful view of General Llnievltch's
situation. They do not billeve he can
be surrounded, but apparently the ex
perts do not consider the possibility
of a Russian victory. Llnievltch's re
tirement to Harbin and the Isolation
of Vladivostok seem to be regarded as
foregone conclusions when Field Mar
shal Oyama strikes.
According to the latest news from
the front, -which is 36 hours old. Oya
ma. after forcing back the Russian
right and center, transferred his
weight against the left, compelling the
Russians to give ground there also.
The military critics, however, agree
that the frontal movement is merely a
feint for the envelopment of one or
both of th Russian wings, without
which nothing in the shape of a de
cisive victory Is possible.
The impression is that Oyama, profit
ing by past experiences, is more care
fully preparing bis turning opera
tions, but by the same token the Rus
sian staff declares Linievitch has tak
en ample precautions to keep in touch
with flanking movements, and that It
is not possible to take him by sur
prise. Occasional heavy downpours of rain
continue at the front.

MAN OF THE FUTURE.

H. G. Wells In the Metropolitan.
In the prehistoric period, even, man's
mouth had ceased to be an Instrument for
grasping food: it is still growing less pre
hensile, his front teeth are smaller, his
lips are thinner and less muscular: he
has a new organ, a mandible not of Irre
parable tissue, but of bone and steel a
knife and fork. There Is no reason why
things should stop at the partial artificial
division thus afforded: there is every rea
son, on the contrary, to believe my state
ment that some cunning exterior mechn
ism will presently masticate and Insali
vate his dinner, relieving his diminishing
salivary glands and teeth, and at last al
together abolish them.
Then, what Is not needed disappears,
'What use Is there for external ears, nose
and brow ridges now? The two latter

unanlmal, no futile emotions disturbing
its roundness as It lies, like the harvest
moon or the evening star, in the wide
firmament of the face." Such is the face
the professor beholds In the future.
"Of course parallel modifications will
also affect the body and limbs. Every day

I'd really like to know who the
woman Is that occupied the section next
to me from Washington to Chicago last
month. She has certainly elevated the
science of traveling to a positive fine
art. The train had scarcely startea De-
fore she opened her rather large dress
suit case and took therefrom several
thinirs. One was a coat hanger, and
after she had placed her coat carefully
on it. she slipped the garment Into a
large pongee bag and hung It up. Her
hat she covered wth another dust
Droof bag. She removed her shoes and
nut shoetrees into them. For the rest
of the Journey her feet were In com
fortable slippers. After she had at
tended to these minor details, she had
the porter carry her suit case to the
dressing-room, and there she changed
her cloth skirt for an unmussable one
of soft silk. The cloth skirt, on a
hanger. Inside of one of those dust
proof bags, hung In the dressing-room
all the way to Chicago. About ao'clock
the lady brewed herself a cup of tea
over an alcohol stove, which came out
of a box about the size of a dollar
watch. I rose early next morning for
the express purpose of seeing that lady
when she stepped out of her berth, for
I never saw a woman who could do her
hair huddled up In a sleeping-car bed.
I knew she'd have to walk down the
aisle looking like a fright for all her
cleverness, but I was wrong. She put
her head out from between the curtains
to speak to the porter, and do you
know, that woman wore a blue silk
nightcap. When she took It off her
hair was exactly as good as new. She
was a wonderful woman, and -I wish I

While electricity has frequently been

distributed about the neighborhood
with considerable economy. The meth
od employed was to collect the mate
rial, chopping the straw and like sub
stances, and then, after it is dried,
pressing it into bales weighing about
1500 pounds per cubic yard. As It has
taken the farmers of the Western
United States to develop the co-operative
telephone line, using, in some cases,
fence wires as conductors, so it may be
possible that French agriculturists will
succeed In generating electricity a"o
economically that It can be used not
only for scientific, but also for practical
farming.

DR. WALKER, rl 51 Fkst Strict, ier-Yai, Pwttaiwi, Of
people were starving, the trade in gold
fish was flourishing. The demand at
present appears to be without limit, and
the output shows a substantial increase
each year. Many thousand people make a
living by growing goldfish for market,
and hundreds of peddlers carry the fish
through th streets and along the country
roads In wooden tubs suspended from a
shoulder bar.
The leading goldfish center is Korl
yama. near the ancient capital of Kara.
Here are 3S0 independent breeding estab
lishments whose yearly product runs far"
into the millions. One farm which I visited-
was started IV) years ago. At first
It was conducted merely for the pleasure
of the owner, but it eventually became a
commercial enterprise and Is now very
profitable.
