HE ADMITS UNION IS LOST
Is correct. In the meantime. Sweden will
ask the powers not to acknowledge Nor
way as an Independent state until the
new Riksdag has had an opportunity to
express the will of the Swedish people.
"In conclusion, let me express the hope
that the Swedes and Norwegians who
have taken their abode In the United
States will be able to i-ee the things here
at home In that clear way which distance
sometimes enables us to Jo. In their un
biased opinions. I think that they will see
that uch a settlement of such a crisis as
outlined In this interview is now not only
feasible, but the most probable and hon
orable for both parties."
PLAX APPROVED IN" PRINCIPLE
Aged King Says Sweden's Terms Are
Jjeast She Can Accept and Only
Alternative Is War "With
Norway.
CHICAGO. July 26. (Special.) A staff
correspondent of the Dally News was re
ceived in private audience by King Oscar
In the royal palace In Stockholm yester
day. Detailing the Interview, he says:
His Majesty spoke freely about the Swe
den-Norway union crisis, but was over- ,
come with emotion at several points In j
the conversation, especially when he em- !
phasized the Insult he feels he suffered
at the hands of the Norwegian people. !
He prefaced his remarks with the state
ment that he believed "Justice-loving
America would sympathize with him and
with Sweden when the facts should be pre
sented to the United States in an unbiased
form. His Majesty said:
"I was unable to adopt any different at
titude toward Norway than I did, because
my oath of office as King of both coun
tries absolutely debarred me from doing
anything for the one that infringed the
interests of the other. Norway says that
I left her. Say to your people In most pos
itive form that I never left Norway.
She left roe.
No Bernadotte King for Norway.
"I will never allow a Bernadotte Prince
to occupy the Norwegian throne unless
Sweden asks it. I hope and believe she
will not ask it. That would be an awful
sacrifice for me and my family. My fam
ily Is united with me on this point. We
are a happy family. I have good sons
and good grandsons. They do not desire
to allow personal ambition, which they
might gratify by the acceptance of Nor
way's invitation, to lead them to think of
acting contrary to my desires in this mat
ter. Norway says it esteems and loves
me. How deep can its love be when It did
not hesitate to betray me? Norway wants
a Bernadotte King in order to show the
world that Sweden condones Its act of
treachery and revolution.
War It Terms Are Rejected.
"Today Sweden's Parliament made
known to the world the terms on which
we were willing to recognize the dissolu
tion of the union, which. I am grieved
to feel, is lost forever. Large sections of
my loyal Swedish subjects feel these de
mands represent the minimum Sweden
can accept In satisfaction of the blow
Norway has dealt our national honor. If
Norway rejects these proposals and my
people feel that Sweden can be avenged
only by war. I shall ha-e no alfernatlve
except reluctantly to sanction their sov
ereign will. Need I assure the Americans
that that would be the crowning- sorrow
of my declining days?
"The Norwegians are a brave people.
I know their army well; but I think they
are not so ready for a llfe-and-deatn
struggle as they think. My fervent prayer,
at any rate. Is that complications may
not arise, for that would be a blow more
crushing, if possible, than that I have al
ready suffered."

ignation of the Swedish Government

committee report, as It Is feared It
might impede progress towards a so
lution of the difficulties between Swed
en and Norway.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July 27. (Spe

Probable New Swedish Premier Out
lines Policy Towards Norway.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden. July 13. Count
L. D. Douglas, former Minister for For
eign Affairs of Sweden and Norway, now
Governor-General of the Province of Os
tergoetland, and leader of the Storsvens
ka, or patriotic party, and whOe name
has been mentioned as the next Premier
of Sweden, received the correspondent of
the Associated Press today, while await
ing the publication of the report of the
special committee appointed by the Riks
dag to deal with the crisis between Swe
den and Norway. Count Douglas said:
"In Norway they say and havo spread
broadcast over the world that the Stors
venska party is a party of nobility, the
object of which is to give the nobility of
Sweden the power of government. This
talk Is,, as all sane persons know,
mere non?nse and childishness. They
also say that our object ls to give Sweden
some kind of sovereignty over Norway.
Such was never our object, as, you know,
Norway has in respect of self-government
been one of the freest nations In the
world.
"But the fact is that long before the
other parties perceived the duplicity of
fome Norwegians, who were working with
the object in view of causing a separa
tion, to obtain their object they were
incessantly searching for seeds of dis
sension, and. when found, planting them.
They worked hard and heartily for disso
lution, and we worked as hard to coun
teract their efforts.
"In the first excitement after the Nor
wegian revolution, and after the Swedish
people had recovered from the stunning
insult to It and Its King, many persons
came to the conclusion that It ls well as it
Is: If they (the Norwegians) are unwilling
to live In peace with us and share the
apparent blessings of this union of more
than 90 years' duration, let tbem go their
own way and we will go ours; but they
could have chosen a more honorable way
to break off this union. That, at least,
we might have good reasons to expect.
"Now, when the first excitement has
passed. Sweden ought to exert herself to
the utmost not to give up the union, be
cause. In reality, the differences are so In
significant that they easily could be over-
come. A new union must be offered by
us to the Norwegians, founded on full lib
erty, equality and Interior independence
of both countries, but in which the prin
ciple that the Scandinavian Peninsula as
against the world ls one must be conse
quent!' carried through. Thus we must,
besides a common King, have common
department of foreign affairs, of com
merce and navigation, of war and of the
navy.
"And the peninsula must be Joined in a
commercial union so far as the commer
cial policy is concerned. All the places in
these four departments.' from the highest
to the lowest, should be open to either
Swedes or Norwegians. A union Parlia
ment meeting, alternately in Stockholm
and Chrtstlanla. should have control over
the common Interests, and to this Parlia
ment the Cabinet members for the com
mon departments should De responsible.

PAINTINGS WORTH MILLIONS
3Iorgnn Has Roomrul of Fragonard's
Worth $5000 Square Foot.
LONDON. July 26. During his absence
from America. J. Plerpont Morgan has
added a whole Frasonard room to his
London residence, the intrinsic value of
which is estimated in hundreds of thou
sands of pounds sterling, besides being of
infinite historical Importance. Some ap
preciation of the value of the collection
may be gathered from the fact that, while
a Fragonard a foot square is worth
$5000, the largest room in Mr. Morgan's
house is walled with the great artist's
pictures. In all there are 12 of the.e
paintings, each measuring three yards
high and two yards wide.
In order to embrace the whole collection
In a single room, it was necessary to re

Flrweatland.
PORTLAND. July 2S.-(To the Editor.)
I would suggest a state name applicable
to the eastern and western portions of the
state. The name ls a conjured one, but
that is a common thing to be done to the
English language. I would suggest Flr
weatland the flrweatland state flr In rec
ognition of the well-known Oregon flr. one
of the principal products of. the western
part of the state, and wheat, one of the
principal products of the eastern part:
and land, the land of wheat and fir. Any
thing but that libelous name "Webfoot,
which conveys the idea of swamps and
rains. If all common-sense Oregtmlans
would Insist on dropping that opprobrious
name "V ebfoot. and select one that would
give a better Impression of the state, in
the opinion of the writer the state would
be the gainer, and not loser. The giant
and stateh- fir. and bountiful wheat would
be far more pleasing to the imagination
of prospective newcomers. O. H.
Long before tobacco wai introduced in Eng
land smoking waa common. The favorite
"smoke" was the dried leaves ot coltsfoot.
