WILL SEND NO 16 Oscar Refuses to F,urnish Nor way a Sovereign.- MAINTAINS HIS POSITION Dethroned King Will Xot Let Son or Grandson Rule Norway Ap peals to Constitution Swed ish Army Mobilizing. STOCKHOLM. July 4. Kins Oscar granted a private audience to the corre spondent of the Associated Press at the royal palace today. In a lengthy con versation His Majesty expressed his view on the situation, and said em phatically that he would never allow any of his sons or his grandsons to accept the Jsorweglan throne. In speaking of the attitude of Norway, the King dis played deep emotion and expressed his heartfelt sorrow at Norway's treatment of him after 42 years of unceasing labor for Its happiness and prosperity. His Majesty said he wished to convey through the Associated Press his grati tude for hundreds of expressions of sym pathy received from the United States. In the course of the conversation. King Oscar reiterated his official utterances regarding his position on the Consular bill passed by the Storthing and the events which followed his veto of It, and said: "When the King of Norway considers that the welfare of the country- demands that he shall veto a bill passed by the Storthing, his right to do so is uncondi tionally shown in Norway's constitution and he would be false to his oath if he did not exercise this right In accordance with his conscience. "The constitution gives the Storthing the power to pass a measure over my veto, prescribing, however, that this can only be done by the bill's being passed by three consecutively elected Storthings. The Consular bill was only passed by one Storthing. "As King of Norway, it was of the ut most necessity that I should always keep before my eyes the first article of the Norwegian Constitution, which reads: " 'The Kingdom of. Norway is a free, Independent. Indivisible and inalienable country, united to Sweden under one King.' Therefore It was Imperative, be fore approving a bill separating the consular systems of Sweden and Norway, that I should consider the -welfare and Interests of both countries, and I had a perfect right as King of Norway to re fuse my sanction. "The refusal of the Norwegian Cabinet to countersign my veto was Inexcusable, as the constitution prescribes that the King may decide according to his judg ment and that all his orders must be countersigned by the Cabinet. "Thus the Norwegian constitution, my "own conscience and my consideration of the welfare of both kingdoms were the guide to my action In vetoing the Consular bill." This is the first interview granted by King Oscar to any correspondent. 4 NOT PREPARING FOR CONFLICT Norway and Swcde.n Only Carrying on Army Maneuver. CHRISTLVNIA, July 4. There has been no mobilization whatever in Norway or Sweden. Of the military forces under arms In both countries only contingents have been called together for the ordi nary exercises. In Norway these exer cises are taking place on the usual drill grounds. Some few companies of Swed ish troops are watcning three rftjlroads coming from Norway, but these troops ae some distance from the frontier. The N6rwcgian diplomatists who served under the union at The Hague and at "Washington, and who were removed by the Swedish government. are now charged by the Norwegian government to remain and look after Norway's Interest?. SWEDES CALLED TO ARMS. Army Will Mobilize to Give Force to Her Terms. STOCKHOLM, July 4. The Associated Press is in a position to state that an order for the mobilization of the Swedish army has been issued, and that a procla mation to this effect will probably be issued within a week. The mobilization Is intended as a means of giving added force to any proposal for settlement which the special committee appointed by the Riks dag may make to the Norwegian Storthing. Prepares to Fight Hungary. LONDON, July 4. The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Vienna asserts that Archduke Francis Ferdinand has initiated military preparation with a view to the eventuality of Hungary attempting to recede from the dual monarchy. CHURCH AND STATE DIVORCED Complete Freedom of Religion Pro vided by French Bill. PARIS. July 4. The text of the bill separating church and state has been almost completely rei-lsed by the commit tee, with the consent of the House, since its introduction. The broad principle of reform, however. Is permitted to stand, fulfilling the long-expressed desire of ad vanced Republicans to see the state en tirely untrammeled by connection with any religion or sect. The system swept away by this bill dates from 1801. when the lamous concordat was signed by Pius VII and Napoleon. This gave religion governmental status, the churches being government property with the clergy paid by the state and the entire church ad ministration being under the direction of a member of the president's cabinet. The general principle of the measure as adopt ed by the Chamber is as follows: "The republic assures liberty of con science and guarantees the free exercise of religion, subject to the restrictions of public order. The republic neither recog nizes stipends nor subsidizes any sect, but provides funds for college, hospital and asylum chaplains." The most active contest took place over the proposition whereby the priceless riches of the church, consisting of collec tions made during many centuries of paintings, tapestries and statuary were to be passed to the state. This was finally modified so that civil organizations retain the goods of the church. One of the last amendments adopted prohibited members of the clergy becom ing Mayors or holding other municipal offices during the eight years succeeding the adoption of the law. Killed by a Toy Cannon. SAN FRANCISCO, July 4 David So lari, a boy of 7 years, was killed to day "by the discharge of a toy cannon with which he was amusinr himself.

ALL PL0Tt0F GOVERNMENT English Correspondent Says Police Provoked Rebel Outbreak. LONDON, - July 5. (Special.) The Standard today prints a sensational story from its Odessa correspondent, who de clares that he has unimpeachable author ity for the statement that the Russian government brought to a head the revo lutionary movement In Odessa and that its agents engineered the recent insur rection which cost thousands of lives. The story declares that 150 agents pro vocateurs, belonging to the Third dis trict, disguised as artisans, lived among the working people ""for many months and got to know all of the secret move ments of the Social Democratic revolu tionaries. The arrival of the rebel ship Potemkln, which was expected, gave the agents a plausible story to 'tell to the Odessa people and Incite them to mob violence. These agents declared -that the whole Black Sea fleet had mutinied and would soon arrive In Odessa to join the Socialists there. Early in the afternoon the people, moyed to great hopes by the stories of the agents, began the outbreak. They pillaged the warehouses on the water front and the torch was applied to the shipping. No attempt was made to quell the disturbances until long after sun down. The representatives of the gov ernment had In the meantime placed machine guns In charge of the military at every point of vantage and thus closed every avenue of escape. The correspondent says that he has it from numerous eye-witnesses that no less than 7000 persons wer killed during the 10 awful hours of the night jr .mas sacre. Among the killed were numbered "209 or more who threw themselves Into the waters of the harbor to escape the terrible fire of the machine guns. At daybreak the streets were strewn with the bodies of dead and in order to get rid of them it Is reported that the Czar's police threw thousands of bodies Into the glowing heaps of burning buildings along the water front. It is claimed that in this way four-fifths of the dead wcr disposed of without burial. This manner of butchery, it is said, was designed at St. Petersburg and secretly engineered by the police as an effectual method of crushing out the insurrection in South Russia. ODESSA IS QUIETING DOWN. Burned Area Be'ng Cleared and Strikers Resuming Work. ODESSA, July 4. The situation shows signs of gradual improvement.

Baron Ro.en. the new Russian Ambassador to Washington and one of the Russian plenipotentiaries to the peace conference, arrived In this city today on the steamer Kaiser Wll holm IL accompanied by the Baroness .Rosen and their daughter. He would say nothing of Russian poli tics nor of the pending peace negotia tions. ' The Baron said he learned of the death of Secretary Hay at sea and was shocked by the news. He poke in eulogy of the deceased .statesman, and said he had known Mr. Hay for 25 years. He was much pleased to return to America, and hoped to renew many former acquaint ances. The Ambassador was asked what he thought of Washington In August a? a place of meetlnc for the Deaee eonfernpe. and he replied that it would be most un comfortable, that almost any northern point would have been more comforthl and more acceptable. He did not know omciauy. nowever. where the conference would be held if Washington was found to be out of the question. Baron Rosen did not know when he would go to Washington. He took the train for Manchester-by-the-Sea. Japanese Win in Manchuria TOKIO. July 4.

Depositors Threaten Crim inal Proceedings. TOPEKA, Kan.. July 4.J. T. Bradley, of .Sedan, receiver of the First National Bank, arrived in the city today and took charge of the bank.- He refused to talk about the bank's condition, saying his orders from the Controller of the Cur rency were explicit on that point. None of the officials of the bank would discuss the Institution's affairs when con fronted by depositors. They have turned everything over to the receiver, and he is making an effort to get the bank's affairs In shape. The only thing In the shape of Informa tion about the bank comes from the Dev lin Interests. Clifford Hlsted, attorney for C. J. Devlin, says the estate Is worth more than the debts, and that the bank can pay out. C. S. Gleed. head of the company which has taken over the Dev lin Interests, says that, if there Is no trouble In holding the property turned over to the bank by Mr., Devlin, a full settlement will be madb. Although Mr. Devlin has given a war ranty deed and a quit-claim deed to tho First National Bank for property which Is eald to be valued at J113.500, less en cumbrances amounting to about J21.000, this does not mean that the property will bring that amount of money at the pres ent time. It is said by those who are posted on the values of real estate In the city and county that this property will not net the bank more than JoO.OM or 560.000. Mr. Hlsted said that J70O.0O0 of the property would be turned over to the bank, buthe neglected to state of what It consisted. Small Debts to Other Banks. A statement was publiphed yesterday to the effect that Mr. Devlin owed other banks in Topeka nearly a half million dollars. This proves to be greatly over estimated. Mr. Devlin's obligation. to all the other banks in this city than the First National do not aggregate as much as J1O0.O00. F. W. Freeman, cashier of the Merchants National, said tonight "We have no loan of Mr. Devlin per sonally: one of his companies some time ago borrowed $3000 from our bank, but this loan Is secured by gilt-edged" collat eral, worth twice as much as the bank loaned him. That Is the extent of our dealings with Mr. Devlin and his com panies." Depositors- are becoming much wrought up over the matter. They intimate that criminal prosecution will be made if the bank fails to settle witli depositors, alleg ing that carelessness was largely the cause of the failure. May Save Devlin Property. A determined effort is being made by the Devlin Interests to pull out of the hole. A committee representing the creditors of the Devlin estate will make every posrfble effort to save It from In solvency. The committee representing the chief creditors has pledged Itself to raise all the money needed to safeguard the Interests of the people to whom Mr. Devlin owes money. The committee will act In conjunction with the corporation that has been formed to handle the Dev lin estate. With the Interests of the creditors- safeguarded by the committee, business- men think there will now be lit tle difficulty In getting the corporation started and bringing the Devlin business out of its present difficulties without in solvency. It Is- not known just how much money will be needed, but It is thought that something like I25O.O00 will be suffi cient. Bank Cannot Hcopcn. C S. Gleed stated that In his opinion the First National Bank would not be able to resume business. In brief, this la j the condition of the bank: The obligations- to depositors amount to about 51.300.OW. Against these deposits there is the property transferred yesterday and the other Topeka real estate securities! turned over to the bank by Mr. Devlin, amounting in all to 5T00.CO). In addition there are the insurance policies turned In by Mr. Devlin, the actual cash value of which is stated at about 5303.000. The assets of the bank, exclusive of the Dev lin property Jurned In yesterday, amount to Jl.CCO.OOO. Of thl? there Is Devlin col lateral with a par value of J6C).03. The actual carti value of this- collateral can not yet b determined. The other notes held by the bank amount to 5300.000. At the time the bank was closed yesterday morning there was approximately $150,000 in cash on hand. Mrs. Devlin's Sacrifice. The men engaged in clearing up the affairs of the First National Bank praise the participation of Mrs. C J. Devlin In her husband's affairs. The insurance policies which she assigned for the benefit of the creditors were entirely hers and might have beln held for herself, clear of all oonnection with the bank. She has assigned all her insurance, except that which went to the children. The same is true of her dower Interest in $700,000 worth of j real estate. The Central National Bank an nounced tonight that it did not hold any of C. J. Devlin's personal paper. This has been regarded as a Devlin bank. The debts due the .bank from the Devlin interests are owed entirely by companies in which Devlin was only part owner. These arc the Marquette Third Vein Coal Company, the Toluca. Marquette & Northern Railroad, the Devlin-Miller Coal Company and the Crawford County Coal Company. Charles S. Gleed said tonight: "It now seems that every dollar of the Devlin property has been located, and that the value of the property is greater than the debts."

SOLE AGENTS YOUNG'S FAMOUS $3.00 HAtfS FOR MEN Today's Great Bargains he received word today that Senator Mitchell had been convicted of land frauds on all counts of the Indictment and that the Jury had brought In a rcc ommedatlon for mercy. "The verdict was no more than I ex pected from the evidence that was sub mitted to me before the trial began." said the Secretary to the Orcgonian cor respondent. "I should have been sur prised if a verdict of guilty had not been rendered. As to the recommendation for mercy, I cannot see any objection to the Court's granting that. The Govern ment is not persecuting anyone In these cases, but Is merely seeking Justice, and I believe Justice- has been secured In this case in the verdict rendered last night." Information here is that Representa tive Williamson Is to be tried next. Al though no confirmation could be gained from the Secretary or other officer of the Department on 'this case. It It un derstood here that they believe the prose cution has a strong case against Mr. Williamson and that they will toe disap pointed if he la not convicted. COMMENT IS SAX FRANCISCO Newspapers Approve Verdict and Applaud Jury's Action. SAN FRANCISCO. July 4. (Special.) The conviction of Senator Mitchell caused a profound Impression here, where the Senator has many -friends. Interest Is In creased by the fact that the presiding Judge. John J. De Haven, and the prose cuting attorney. Frances J. Heney, are both from San Francisco. The Chronicle tomorrow will say: "During the course of the trial It was charged by the defendant's attorney that Mitchell was being made the sapegoat for others. The Jury failed to take this view of the matter, and Justly concluded 'ihat a man with the extensive knowledge of public affairs possessed by the Senator, whose Washington experience extends back through more than a quarter of a century, could not be hoodwinked. Mitch ell was too familiar with the vlns and outs of departmental life in the National capital to be fooled by sharpers. He never had that reputation while serving as t Senator, and the jury was clearly in the right in refusing to entertain so prepos terous a plea." The Post says: "The conviction of United States Senator Mitchell cannot fail to make a deep and lasting Impression upon the country at large. There has been much In the past In the long polit ical career of Scnntor Mitchell that has not Infrequently called forth severe criti cism. That the facts and proofs of guilt as presented by th Government must have been overwhelmingly convincing can now admit of no doubt. The rascally land thieves who for years have fattened in the West by gigantic thefts of veritable principalities must feel the thrill of fear adown their spines as they read of the conviction of a United States Senator. Let the good work go on. To that Oregon Jury we must. all raise, our hats." The Bulletin disuses of the case with the following: "Senator John H. Mitchell of Oregon has often boasted of his service to his country. He now 'faces an opportunity to serve it In stripes." The Call will not treat the subject edi torially tomorrow. Drunken Man Robbed at Fair. H. Kerrigan, while intoxicated at the Lewis and Clark Fair yesterday, was robbed of $115 In one of the saloons near the Fair Grounds. He went to police head quarters this morning and after report Ing the theft asked to be locked up for OPINION ON J. H. MITCHELL Continued From Pace 1.) his position except that of appearing In the Senate Chamber. He has not been in the Senate since he was indicted. Neither has .Mitchell except on that day when his fellow-Senators closely lis tened to his denunciation of his accusers as "persecutors." and his dramatic brand ing of the allegations as "lies, baseless lies." Mitchell will doubtless remain away from the Senate until his case Is finally disposed of and. If the Burton precedent is followed, the Senate will permit him to retain his membership In that body.
