j tare, and no press of ofllclal duty and
no dtoUnce from centers of enlightenment
interrupted his study. The result was that
tfor many years ho was regarded as tho fore
most scholar nmong tho American bishop,
llany of his sermons will live and take
rank with tho btflt productions of tho great
pulpit orators of tho golden ago of the Cath

eminently Ju.it. He was considered cold
nnd distant, but his nature woh warm and
nffcctlonntc. Ho did not seek companion
nhlp and social duties wero Irksome to

lifo bn had lived and the little small talk
lie had at command. Hut to those who wero
privileged with his Intimacy he was the

who dcslro to speak upon It.

several speeches to bo made on tho Quay

being Senators Penrose, Spconer, Perkins

Tho Porto Hlcan bill will be debated a.

Nelson and pepow will talk In support of
Tho broad question o' expansion will

CHICAGO, March 4. David Stnrr Joritn
of Lelnttd Stanford university, California,
lectured nt All Souls' church here today,
apeaktng to n largo audience ou "The Dlood
of n Nation." Ho said that tho present
century would wltntea tho downfall of Great
Urltaln. He declared thnt ultimately the
people of South Africa would hnvo their
freedom. Tho speaker In emphatic terms
asserted thnt the .present Inhabitants ot
Great Urltaln wero n mero shadow ot their j
forefnthera In point of brains nnd health.
Jordan thinks that a nation that founds
Its destiny on war must reach a speedy '
decoy. Ho ,ud a great war saps the vi
tality of the best blood of tho nation. Jor
dan deprecated tho fact that so many of
the. best youths of a nation are killed dur
ing times of war. He remarked that this
accounted for the cxlstenco of n weak na
tion, both mentally and physically.
The speaker declared that France more
than nny other great nation had deteriorated.
He sail wnr more than nny other thing
had contributed to this sorrowful condition.
He continued:
"I think war moro than any other agency
destroys tho vitality of a nation. Take
for Inwtnnce tho present Drltlsh-Doer war.
Tho beet representatives of both countries
aro now on the field of battle. War not
only makiM widows, but It prevents many
marriages. I certainly am of tho opinion
that war Is a curso on nny nation unless
It bo tho result of a fight for freedom. Such
a thing ns carrying on wnr for the oakc
of encouraging Imperialistic Ideas will wreck
sooner or later a nation that tricn such a
scheme."

Honry Clay Frlck, who, by lawsuit, Is
trying to relievo Mr. Cnrneglo of some of
the disgrace of dying rich, is directly tho
opposlto In character of Andrew Carneglo,
reports tho New York Hernld. While tho
latter Is conservative to nn unusual degree,
Mr. Frlck Is daring, and In the game of
business takes long chances.
While Mr. Carnegie nnd Mr. Frlck havo
been associated In business for somo years,
thero has never been anything that might
bo called fraternal social feeling between
tho two. Mr. Frick has been a member of
tho Carneglo firm slnco 1839, but Mr. Car
negie was n member of tho Frlck firm seven
years beforo this".
The present trouble, It la said by persons
who aro closo to both men, had Its origin
In a meeting of tho old Pittsburg coko syn
dicate in 1883. At that tlmo there wero
eight or ten prominent firms, which wero
aftorward bought out by tho Frlck company,
In the coke business.
In tho fierce competition for trade prices
got so low that to snvo some of them from
ruination nn association was formed. This
was known ns tho "coko syndicate." Meet
ings were held dally in tho Lewis block,
Pittsburg, where the price of coke was agreed
upon. Mr. Frlck was tho president of tho
syndicate. One day, after prices had been
ngrced on, John Walker, who for many years
was prominent In tho Carneglo company,
walked Into tho room. Thero had never
boon a friendly feeling between Mr. Walker
and Mr. Frlck. Mr. Frlck said:
"Mr. Walker, do you know that this is a
meeting of business men nnd is private?"
LMr. Walker, with a wavo of his hand,
said: '
"Oh, that's all right. lAndy sent mo hero,
and il Just want to tell you that ho says tho
prlco of coko will bo $1.50. Good day."
Tho meeting had agreed that the prlco ot
coko should bo something llko $1.80 per
ton, but when Air. Carnegie sent word that
It would bo $1.60 Mr. Frlck said: "Well,
gentlemen, you have heard what tho repre
scntntlvo of tho controlling Interest In tho
Frick Coko company hns said about tho
prlco. I don't seo that thero is any uso of
ray staying longer." With that Mr. Frlck
walked out of tho mooting, humiliated. It
Is said that ho never forgavo Mr. Carneglo
or Mr. Walker for this slight.
In tho light of Mr. Frick's suit, Plttsburg
ors nro recollecting remarks mado by Mr.
Carneglo threo years ago. At that time he
was leaving Pittsburg and Mr. Frlck had
accompanied htm to tho railroad station.
Jut.t an ho was about to stop aboard thn
train ho put his hand on Mr. Frick's shoul
der nnd, turning to a crowd assembled, ho
said:
"Gentlemen, you don't know what Mr.
Frlck has dono for Pittsburg. Ho Is a great
man."
Mr. Frlck has two hobbles music and
pictures. 'Ills homo Is filled with tho rarest
examples of tho art ot painting. His privnto
collection of pictures Is one of tho best in
tbo country. Ono of tho canvasses Is ei
small Jiagnau Douvorct, tho famous "ClirUt
nt Emmaus." This picture cost Mr. Frlck
$90,000, nnd waa presented to tho Carneglo
institute.
When not at his odlco Mr. Frlck can gen

(Corrcfipondenco of tho Associated Press.)
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Feb. 12. As ca
bled at the time, n representative of tho
Assocluted Press was recently accorded nn
audience of King Oscar of Sweden nnd
Norway. Tho following details of the In
terview aro Interesting:
Every Tuesday morning, whenever King
Oscar Is at his capital, any of his subjects
may bo received by him with hardly nny
formality. Foreigners, of course, nro only
given an nudlence If they nro previously
summoned, and then only through tho
medium of their respective ministers. Tho
correspondent arrived nt tho royal jalnco
at 10 o'clock In tho morning. 'Mounting
flvo (lights of Htalrs, he entered on ante
chamber, whero ono non-commtssloncd offi
cer from each of tho regiments of Llfo
Guards stood at attention. Several lackeys
helped tho correspondent to tako off his
overcoat; ho kept his hat, as It Is tho
custom to carry It In tho hand when ad
mitted to tho prcsenco of the king. In
thn next room tho correspondent wns re
ceived by tho king's adjutant. After i
short convcrsntlon, ho took tho correspond
ent Into another room, a grand salon, ono
of tho most beautiful and gorgeous rooms
In tho palace. There tho adjutant Introduced
tho correspondent to tho chamberlain, who
thereupon went Into tho king's private
rooms. Returning In a minute, ho told
tho visitor the king was ready to receive
him.
Informed on Amerlean AITalrn.
King Oscar was standing In tho center
of tho room, dresr-ed In tho uniform of 'a
genornl of tho Swedish army. His majesty
Is more than six feet tall; his fnce has an
expression of sympathy and Intelligence.
From his sprightly movements one would
not think that ho Is a man of 71 yenrs.
Tho king advanced a few steps townrd
tho correspondent, extended his hnnd and
bado him wclcomo to 'Stockholm. His
majesty was very much Interested In hear
ing about conditions In America. Nothing
happening there has escaped him. He spoke
of tho feud In Kentucky nnd about tho
educational 'Institutions with the Eamo
knowledge of facts. Ho had regretted very
much tn hear of tho death of General Lnw
ton In tho Philippines, showed n great In
terest In what wns taking plnco on tho
Islands and asked many questions In re
gard to the progress of tho campaign.
Naturally, tho king wns much concerned
nbout tho wnr In South Africa. It must bo
romemborcd that Groat Drltaln, though In
no wny nn nlly of Sweden nnd Norway, Is
tho best guaranty for tho Independence of
the two northern countries. Great Drltaln's
world power once broken, It would not bo
long beforo tho two Uttlo tint Ions wero
swallowed up by their mighty neighbor In
tho east.
KnvorK Ilrltlxh In South Africa.
From King Oscar's conversation tho cor
respondent believed his mnjesty was In
favor of tho Drltlsh In South Afrioa. How
ever, he spolco In tho highest terms of tho
great strategic ability of tho Doers and
expressed a fervent wIbIi that our own war
In tho Philippines and tho Transvaal war
would soon bo over.
lAs to tho Internal troubles of his two
countries, tho king naturally would not
speak for publication. Toward tho end of
tho audience the king took the correspond
ent Into his privnto writing room, selected
a splendid likeness of himself, aald It was
tho best portrait of him and wroto his nnmo
across It and asked tho correspondent to
keep It as a memonto of tho nudleuco.
Tho king then sent tho greeting to tho
Scandinavians in tho United StateH which
was contained In tho cable dispatch.
A fow days later tho correspondent wns
received by the new minister of forcljn
nfTalrs, Mr. Lagerhelm. At tho tlmo tho
correspondent had cabled a uhort account
of tho minister's opinion of tho troubles be
tween .Sweden and Norway. Mr. Lngerhelm,
who was delighted nt being offered tho
opportunity of giving his views, said:
"Having been nway from Sweden for .the
last thirteen years as ambassador to Ger
many, it Is naturally dlnicult for tno to
speak so soon after tnklnrr office, on iim
political differences between Sweden and
Norway. Until I havo visited Norway nnl
closely studied Its side, of the controversy
I cannot oxprcso myself on tho cntlro sub
ject. I will say, however, that I think both
countries might meet each other half way on
many of their differences, and thiu by mu
tual concessions tako nway tho bitter foal
ing that exists In somo respects.
Norvrny'N I ureanouahle Deiuuiiila.
"I shall plainly stnto my irrevocable opin
ion as to tho Norwegian demand for a Sep
arato minister of foreign affairs nnd a.
separate representation abroad. Such n
condition Is Impossible, hesiden being un
constitutional. One Swedish minister of
foreign affairs and ono Norwegian und two
sets of representatives abroad would be
equal to a dissolution ot the union and
ngalnst such an end I shall work with all
my might. This question of a common
minister of forelun affairs and a common
representative abroad Is pro elded for in Iho
net of union. Consequently It cannot
changed by tho Norwegian Storthing alone
and Sweden would never ngreo to such
action."
Mr. Lagerhelm nlso said he was sure nicut
of tho talk of unfriendliness between the
two peoples was only on the surfaco, If even
there, adding that If the llmo ever cam?
when It would be necessary to mnltp a com
mon stand In defense of tho union ho hid
no doubt but that the world would find tho
Swedes and Norwegians united a ono.
