ff
HESSLEHOLM, Sweden, July 1. (Special I
Cablegram to The Bee.) It can scarcely be
said that the union of the two Scandinavian
peoples, now rudely and perhaps forever
severed, has ever worked smoothly since
its formation in 1814, yet the two lands are
kindred in speech, race and religion. For
400 years Norway had been united to Den
mark, but on January 14, 1814, by the treaty
of Kiel, the Danish kin. Frederick VI,
without consulting the Norwegian peopl3,
ceded Norway to Sweden. The Norwegians
at that time resisted the scheme, drew up
a constitution, and eventually Bernadotte,
who later became Kino, Carl Johan of
Sweden, consented to a convention by
which It was agreed that Norway was a
"free. Independent and indivisible king
dom, united to Sweden under one king."
From that day to flila the two people have
never been amalgamated; each retained Its
own legislature, laws, systems of flanance,
its own army and navy; remained. In fact,
a separate state, the golden link of the
crown being the one visible bond between
them. That link Is now broken. But so
complete has been the separation In the
past that a Norwegian was a foreigner in
Bweden and a Swede a foreigner In Nor
way, with the sole exception, of course, of
Ihe reigning monarch.
Has It ever happened before? Has any
loverelgr. in the world's history ever lost
it one ,'troke one-third of his subjects and
more t.iti one-third of his territory with
out a j'lit fired, without a blow struck in
elf-defense? As much and more. Indeed,
has been lost by luckless rulers, but only
ifter hard fighting only after some crush
ing blow and brought the losers to their
knees and stifled the voice of protest. The
king's own protest appears to be the only
one seriously lodged. Stockholm Is content
to shrug Its shoulders, to denounce the bad
taste of the Norwegians In choosing a date
for their disloyalty so soon before the mar
rlago of the heir apparent' eldest son, and
to accept the new position as one of which,
on -the whole, the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages.
Question of Trade Laws.
the first question which presents Itself
to" tl.o .nlnd of a foreign observer or the
development of the political crisis In Nor
way mist be, "How is It possible to ac
count for the unanimity which character
ize the demand that Sweden be compelled
to permit Norway to appoint Its own con
suls independently? Why is it that in a
nation which lacks neither political experi
ence nor a due sense of Its International
position, scarcely a voice, with one or two
notable exceptions, has been heard In pro
test against a policy which has created a
situation fraught with the utmost danger
( to tne union?"
The legal argument based upon' the Nor-
" weglaii constitution of 1814 and the act of
union of 1815 is that Norway, which Is de
scribed as "free and Independent, under
one king," Is that among the attributes of
a state so defined must be the right to ap
point its own consuls. The principal argu
ment is that Norway, with the fourth
largest merchant marine in the world and
rapidly developing export trade, must, as a
matter of business, exercise the rights to
which It considers Itself entitled. Free
trade Norway has its own customs system
and its own commercial treaties, and it Is
not to- be expected that its interests will
always be the same as those of protection
ist Sweden. But these arguments are not
new. They have been advanced over and
over and over again during the last ninety
years, or ever since the union of 1815.
The remote cause of the separation being
evident what shall be said of the near cause
CROWN PRINCE OBEYS ORDERS
Amaalna Contretemps at Ceremony
Preceding- Ills Marrlaao and
Emperor Admits Mistake
BERLIN, July 1. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) An amusing story is related here
about an event which happened on the
evening the crown princess was conducted
Into the Royal Sclilrss. When the gala car
riage containing the empress and her fu
ture daughter-in-law entered the courtyard
of the palace the crown prince was In com
mand of the Guard of Honor to receive
them. According to a prearranged program
the crown prince was to parade his com
pany before the princess, but an unforeseen
thing happened. The kaiser, who was wait
ing, forgot, for the first time In his life
doubtless, a military formality, in his Joy
ous excitement he extended his arm to the
princess and disappeared with her in the
interior of the Schloss before the crown
prince had time to set his guard In motlun.
"A nice state of affairs," called out the
crown prince to the officers in his vicinity.
"His majesty lias marched off with my
bride! Where do 1 cir.ie In?" Several
minutes elapsed, and as neither the kaiser
nor the princess returned, the crown prince
was advised laughingly to follow his father
and bride Into the 8chloss. as he would be
missed. "1'pstalrs? Not I!" answered the
prince. "They can't do much without me.
It Is I who am going to be married. He
sides, an order Is an order. I was ordered
to parade this company, and here I remain
until the princess lrts herself be seen." He
stuck to his po"rt. In the meantime the
kaiser was Informed of the state of affairs.
Ho was greatly amused and appeared with
the empress and princess on a balcony over
looking the courtyard, and from this lofty
height witnessed the parade march of the
company.
Since his recent marriage the crown
prince finds himself becoming more and
more of a popular idol. During the recent
review of troops by the kaiser a motor car
driven at high speed dashed past the
boundaries prescribed by the spectators.
The car was Immediately pursued by
mounted policemen, who shouted angrily at
the owner, and the latter unmasked. On
seeing that he was the German crown
prince the disconcerted policeman fell back
saluting and the spectators raised a hearty
cheer of welcome, also indulging In hearty
laughter at the expense of the police.

LONDON. July 1 (Special Cablegram to
tne Bee) "The Congo evil" continues the
subject of discussion uppermost In char
itable and missionary circles. At a recent
meeting of the Congo Reform association
Sir Harry Johnston, president of the Afri
can society presided. He said that the
Congo Free State was. so to speak, the
ward of civilised Europe. He was of the
opinion that the only practical solution of
the Congo problem was to ask Belgium
Immediately to take over the work of the
Congo Free State as a. national Belgian
enterprise.
E. D. Morel said that the trouble arose
from the fact that King Lcoplod was the
over lord and trustee and that he resided
several thousand miles away. Today the
soldiers are quartered upon the land, with
full freedom to loot, outrage and murder.
King Leopold Issued secret decrees and by
a stroke of the pen the native was robbed
of everything that he possessed. The de
mands upon the natives lead to monstrosl
ties. Arab slave raids were child's play
compared with them. Every village was a
penal settlement. If the native did not
bring In the required quantity of rubber
every fortnight he was seized, or, If he
could not be got, his wife, his children or
his relations were taken. It was estimated
as a minimum figure that 10,000 human be
ings of both sexes and all ages were in
carcerated in the course of a single year
In these pestiferous dens, many dying
therein, many dying- afterward. Sir
Charles D!lke, M. P., moved a resolution

rule established by the sovereign of the
Congo Free State. Poultney Blgelow sec
onded the motion, which was carried with
only eight dissenting votes.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 1. (Special Ca
blegram to The Bee.) Many thousand Jews
Russia have signed the following petl
Ion which has been forwarded to the Rus-
lan committee of ministers:

ewlsh Inhabitants of Russia which have
been passed dining the last twenty-tivc
ears nave apparently had tor tneir aim me
raiisfcirnuttioii or the Jewisli population
numbering s.mm.fiuo) into so many beggars
he fact that the mob In the year 1KM or
gauized numerous massacres of the Jews
was employed by the authorities is an ex
cuse for depriving the Jews of the right
to further establish themselves In villages
and to acquire property. But not only was
a new settlement of the land aetueu mem,
he officials made this the excuse for driving
out the Jews already living In the villages
In large numbers and herding tnem to
gether still more In a number of cities and
towns. These Jews who dealt within a zono
)f flftv veists from the frontier who wei
:hus exnelled had to wander thither. The
whole Russian realm was mapped out for
he Jews into three strictly separated dis
tticts.
Th bulk of the Jews were only free to
live In the twenty-live departments com
prising the so-called "pale of settlement."
The remainder of European Russia was
open only to those Jews who belonged to a
merchant s guild or the nrst class tor ten
years, obtained an academic degree or were
skilled handicraftsmen.
For the latter class there was again
special "pale of settlement" In European
Russia, as Jewish workmen were not per
mltted to reside In the departments of Mos
cow and Taurlen.
Lastly, there was a district In Russia that
remained forbidden ground for all Jews
without exception Siberia. Jews were not
allowed to reside there under any clrcum
stances unless theyi had committed a serl
ous crime and were banished thither. The
result of this restriction of residence and
the expulsion of many thousands, which
was its comltant, was that the cities and
towns of the Pale of Settlement were seri
ously overcrowded with Jews.
Closely Herded Together.
LONDON, July 1 (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) At the annual convention of the

In spite of active emigration to European
and other countries, not less than 4.1iO.i0
Jews lived in the few cities and towns o
the pale of settlement, . closely herded to
gether and competing bitterly against each
other. In order that their entrance to the
schools might be hindered it was enacted
tnat tne number ot Jewish scholars in at
tendance at secondary schools should not
exceed 10 per cent. ' Admittance to the high
schools was so far restricted that few Jews
had the good fortune on the conclusion if
their career to find a place in a university.
But even these few lucky persons were able
to derive little advantage from the univer
sity oourse to assist them in their future
careers. Jews were then prevented from
tilling any state or municipal .office, and
also from holding any position In the zemst-
vos. fcvfn tne practice ot law was only
permitted them after a special license from
the minister of Justice had been obtained,
and not a single Jew In Russia has been
admitted a .barrister during the last four
teen years, it may be said wltnout exag
geration that the whole tendency of Rus
sian legislation has been to make the life
of Jews in Russia impossible.
In towns of the pale of settlement the
Jewish population has often comprised no
less than ) per cent of the entire popula
tion and furnished SO per cent of the
municipal rates. Notwithstanding this,
Jews are not permitted to elect representa
tives on the municipal councils, and they
possessed neither an active nor a passlvn
vote. The Jewish population had to be
governed by a non-Jewish magistracy, and
their taxes collected by strange and, In
nart. hostile persons. The result of all
these petty expedients and measures was
finally that the authorities In 8t. Peters
burg were seised with fear and trembling.
Nut less than 20 per cent of the entire
population of the Jewish pale of settle
ment are reduced to such a condition if
wretchedness that they have to be sup
ported from charitable sources.
Poverty i Great.
In great Jewish communities like thoso
of Vllna, Berdltoheff and'Odessa the num
ber of the Jewish poor amounts to as
much as 26 to 83 per cent. Coextensive
with this widespread poverty there is in all
of the Jewish communities an enormous
laboring and artisan proletariat that
knows not today wherewith it may exist
on the morrow. The simple weapon which
the laborer and artisan ixissesses In rela
tion with his employer the power of leav
ing his work and seeking better conditions
of employment elsewhere has become Im

CZAR IS ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
St. Petersburg Dlsensses Possible
Japanese Demand and Bos.
sin's Reply to Them.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 1. (Special Ca-
blegram to The Bee.) The terrible strain
and anxiety the czar has undergone during
the last year have told severely upon him.
In splto of his great efforts to appear
cheery and hopeful, those who are con
stantly In his presence cannot help but
notice that he Is a changed man. At times
he becomes excited and restless and awaits
all official news with the greatest Impa
tience. Personally he Is most anxious for
peace. He Is sick and tired of hearing of
one blunder after another and Is very de
sirous of putting a stop to useless bloodshed.
The war party, composed of most of the
grand dukes, has been fast declining In In
fluence, while the peace party has been ob
taining greater sway over the czar all of
the time.
Russia's view has always been that If tho
worst came to the worst it could withdraw
the main portion of Its army from Man
churia, keeping only a force sufficient to
maintain a species of guerilla warfare on
the border, and thus compel Japan to sus
tain Its full complement of forces in Man
churia. By this means It has always been
hoped to weaken and eventually cripple
Japan's resources On the other hand.
however, It Is now seen that this species of
guerilla warfare might continue for many
years, and that meanwhile no Russian mer
chant ship would be safe from Japanese
aggression In far eastern waters.
Though the consensus of opinion seems to
be that the war will continue, there Is con
siderable discussion of possible peace terms.
A unanimous press campaign Is going on
against the payment of an Indemnity to
Japan.
The following are believed to be Approxi
mately the Japanese terms:
1. Favment of an Indemnity of shout
ji.ooo.oon.ono.
2. Manchuria to be restored to China un
der a Japanese proteotorate.
s. All Itarv occupation or ("nrwi hv the
Japanese and Japanese control of c'orean
administration.
4. Port Arthur and Saghallen to be ceded
to Japan.
8. The Mnnrhurlan railway to be ceded to
Japan, a deduction being made from the In
demnity on this account.
. l ne interned snips to be surrendered, a
deduction from the Indemnity being made
on this account.
7. The Russian fleet In the Pacific to be
limited to a certain tonnaae.
8. Vladivostok to be held by Japan as a
guarantee until the payment of the In
demnity.
The following are Russia's proposals on
the foregoing heads:
1. No Indemnity: In preference the con
tlnuntlon of the war.
2. Restoration of Manchuria to China only
as tar somn as riaroin.
8. Accepted.

African Natives Becoming" Too Poor
to Support Their Former
Lsrg Families.
CAPETOWN, tfrih' .-Specal Cable
gram to The Be.) Many Interesting rea
sons why polygamy among the native races
of South Africa is dying out are given !n
the latest reports of the Natives' Affairs
commission. The chief who formerly glo
rled In the possession of 200 or 300 wives is
now content with two score or less.
The reason for the decline of polygamou
habits Is economic. Rinderpest has dec!
mated the cattle herds and chiefs have no
stock to sell or exchange for wives.
The native headsman from King Wll
llamstown explained to the commissioners
that a native had to devote so much time
to making a living nowadays that he had
no time to spare for looking after wives,
His large family, too, ate up all his land
produced and debarred him from making
progress.
Sir Marshall Clarke, resident commls
sloner of Rhodesia, took the exceptional
view that the government should encourage
the polygamy that prevails. It is a social
system, he said, the result of which is
that every woman has "a protector" and
Its abolition would Introduce pauperism
Frequently It Is a family arrangement;
man does not always collect a number o
young wives, as Is popularly supposed. He
inherits, very often, a number of old
women."
The Natal Zulus have not an old maid
among them. Every woman becomes
wife. But even In Natal polygamy Is on
the wane. There have been few polyga
mous marriages since the rinderpest. The
man who would have bought a wife must
now buy a cow When he has any money to
spare.
The chief clerk of the Native Affairs de
partment of Cape Colony said that in tho
Transkeian territories there wero 96,232
monogamists and 27.019 polygamists.
In that district, however, the native pays
a tax of 10 shillings for one wife, 20 shillings
for two wives, 30 shillings for three, and
so on. He pays the first 10 shillings cheer
fully. When he thinks of the other he
asks, "Is It worth It7" and his answer is
an emphatic "No."

Contradictory Reports.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 2. S a. m.
"Th St. Andrews flag is now floating from
the" masthead of the Kntai Potemklne."
An Odessa dispatch received here at 2
o'clock this morning reports In these words
the surrender of. the battleship by Its
mutinous crew, and adds that a steamer
has gone out to the Knlaz Potemklne wltii
a supply of provisions. .
This was the first definite statement re
ceived in St. Petersburg regarding the sur
render of the battleship, and the dispatch
which leaves so many details yet to be
cleared up, is accepted here with caution
and until It Is fully established that an ad
equate guard has been placed aboard thd
battleship and command restored to Its
commissioned officers, apprehension that
the revolt will break out again will not be
ended.
During 'turday St. Petersburg was
without C . .ilte knowledge as to whether
the crew of the Knlaz Potemklne had re
turned to Its allegiance or whether the
revolt still continued and perhaps had
spread to oth r ships, and the Inability of j
the government to announce an end of
the uprising gave rise to the darkest re
ports. The few dispatches which arrived
yesterday through the official agency Were
evidently carefully censored and lacked
reference to the mutiny, but the details
they gave about the hurried emplacement
of coast artillery In positions commanding
the harbor and of the refusal of the
authorities to allow the sailors of the
Knlaz Potemklne to purchase provisions
seemed to bode ill.
American Consul Heenan at Odessa, who
Friday announced the surrenaer of the
Knlas Potemklne yesterday sent a panicky
dispatch to Ambassador Meyer, beginning,
"Terrible news." It gave a report that
other ships of the Black sea fleet had mu
tinied and declared, though not definitely.
that two warships, evidently the Knlaz
Potemklne and the Georgi Pobledonostz,
were in the harbor, but not mentioning
whether the revolt continued.
Altogether, It seems apparent that the
submission of the sailors of the Knlaz Po
temklne to Vice Admiral Kruger's squad
ron on Friday was only temporary and that
the mutineers had changed their minds
after thel return to the harbor and the
departure of the squadron. Whether the
crew of the Georgl Pobledonostz was
spared disaffection Is not definitely
known.'but the Knlaz Potemklne evidently
vacillated for a long time as to whether
they would continue the long contest or
throw up the sponge.
Punishment for Mutineers.
It Is not known what punishment Is In
store for the mutinous sailors, though It )
reported that the government has decided
to hang every fifth man. The chief mu
tineers, however, who, under the leader
ship of a former ensign named Mukhslutln,
escaped to Constantinople, and those re
maining are probably only their tools.
Cronstadt was fairly quiet yesterday. The
strike of the longshoremen at one time
seemed to be settled, but the employers
dclared their inability to pay the wages
the commandant of the district had prom
ised the workmen and the strike is still
unended.
The events at Odessa. Llbau and Cron
stadt Increase the difficulty of the general
situation. Cnless tho mutiny Is checked
by the most signal punishment It Is apt to
prove contagious. It Increases the urgency
for a national assembly as the sole remedy
to bring the substantial men of the coun
try back to the government.
Emperor Nicholas has accepted the resig

District Attorney Heney began his closing
address to the Jury In the Mitchell case
upon the reconvening of the court this
afternoon. He had not concluded when
Judge DeHaven adjourned the court until
Monday. ,
Mr. Heney In his argument made telling
answers to the questions asked the prosecu
tion by ex-Senator Thurston as to why
the government had not Indicted Fred A.
Krlbbs for land grabbing or Senator Mitch
ell for subornation of perjury for having
influenced Tanner and his son In the testi
mony given before the grand Jury. The
speaker called attention to the facts set
out by the dates of the lists of claims
given In the Indictment as showing that
all of the Krlbbs land frauds were outside
the statute of limitations, for which reason
Krlbbs could not have been reached by
prosecution. He had made no offers of
Indemnity to Krlbbs, because he could not
prosecute him, and if the witness had
known that he could not be reached by
the law perhaps the government would
not have been able to secure any of the
checks or evidence which it had gained.
It is now considered a certainty that the
case will go to tlte Jury on Monday, prob
ably during the afternoon of that day.

Sacond Competition as to the sale of the

Third The supply of the above commodi
ties was to be curtailed and restricted
whenever necessary to maintain the prices
so fixed. N
Fourth The United States was divided up
Into territories between the defendants and
ench was to keep Its own territory without
interference by the others. .
Fifth There was a division as to the
volume of trade allowed to each defendant
In a given market. If one packer sold
more than his percentage during a given
week he was obliged to pay an "ante" of so
much per hundredweight, according to the
territory In which the Incident occurred.
Into a pool to cover the exceHS of sales, and
this fund was divided among the packers
who fell short In their sales.
Sixth Certain corporations, namely, tha
Aetna Trading company and the Oppen
helmer Manufacturing company, were to be
exclusive agents of the packers to handle
the sausage caslr.gs and containers, and
these companies were to make arrange
ments with the several concerns which hsd
been handling such merchandise In the
markets of the world, for working In har
mony and controlling the output and price
of the merchandise. This scheme Involved
the destruction or "tanking" of large quan
tities of casings whenever the supply was
too great.
The Kenwood company, another corpora
tion, was to handle oleo, oils and products
on substantially the same lines, excepting
that there was to be no destruction of
these commodities. These agents of the
packers were Klso to make' eonrVacts with
small packing concerns throughout- the
country for taking their output of casings
and these casings were either to be de
stroyed or handled In connection with tha
goods of the packers.
Charge' of Monopoly.
The fourth count charges that the same
matters mentioned In the third count as
being In restraint of trade and commerce
constituted n offense on the part of the
packers to monopolize such trade and
commerce.
The fifth count specifically covers the
handling of the by-products, casings and
containers, oleo, stocks, stearins and oils
conspiracy In restraint of
me way as
reference
to all of the products mentioned.
The sixth count charges the casings con
spiracy to be an attempt to monopolise
trade and commerce In that commodity,
In the United States and foreign countries.
The seventh count sets forth the par
ticulars concerning the organization of
the National Packing company and charges
tijat the object and effect of that organisa
tion was to destroy competition, not enly
between the packers who . were Interested
In the National Packing company, but
among the ten smaller packing companies,
