'HRISTIANIA, July 15 (Special Cablegram-to
The Bee.) BJorstJerne BJnrnsen,
famous Norwegian writer, thus reviews ths
causes leading up to the present crisis be
tween Norway and Sweden, snylng:
The manner In whlrh the Norwegians
have broken off the union with Sweden
may not be approved, but 1 would like tliat
aspect of the question tit be set aside for
the rupture In Itself Is ns much a blessing
for Sweden as for Norway. It was the only
possible course Inward an understanding
among the three Scandinavian peoples For
the time being the Swedes object forcibly
to the secession, but circumstances are
Htron-er than men.
We were united to Sweden In 1R14. under
one king. The question which has resulted
In the Cleavaire first arose in 1S27. A note
worthy fact Is that F.ngland. by an unjust
act. started the struggle. An English trad
ing firm wna caught smuggling In Mode,
Nordland. By means of forged documents
the English government Induced the Swed
ish minister of foreign affairs to believe
that damages were due from the Nor
wegian government for the confiscation of
foods and Imprisonment of persons. The
wedlsh Foreign office was frightened Into
yielding and Norway was most unjustly
compelled to pay. Subsequently great In
dignation was felt In Norway when It was
found with what 'carelessness Swedish
diplomacy had treated our Interests, and
Swedish tutelage was hotly denounced.
Sweden had usurped authority granted
neither by the Norwegian constitution nor
by the act of the union.
Claims Contested by Sweden.
I will mention some of the Norwegian
claims which Sweden contested: That euual
lmortanre should be given to both king
doms in the seal of the unlori; that Norway
should have Us own standard; that in
Norway "Norway and Sweden" should be
snoken of Instead of the reverse; that

BUDAPEST. July 15.-Speclal Cable
gram to The Bee.) Unless the present sit
uation Is wisely handled It may develop
Into a turmoil Involving the whole of po
litical Europe.
Hungary has thrown down the gauntlet
to Austria. It has refused to raise taxes
or to furnish recruits for the dual empire.
It has defied Its own government. It has
contemptuously ignored the order of the
emperor proroguing the Parliament. In
short. It is burning with a defiance against
Austria and threatens to cut the bonds
of the alliance.
Norway set the torch biasing. Norway
seceded from Sweden; why, therefore
should not Hungary secede from Austria?
This Is the argument that Is everywhere
heard In the various sections of Hungary.
A parliamentarian who Is known to re
flect the views of M. Kossuth and the
leaders of the Independence party during
the course of an Interview said:
"If the emperor does not recognize the
Impossibility of governing Hungary
against the will of the nation, the country
will follow tho example of Norway and
set up a king or a republic of Its own."
"But," was Interposed, "supposing the
emperor sends troops to compel you?'
"Let him send them," was the quick re
ply. "The Honved the mllltla of Hungary
cpnsists of as good troops as any that
Austria can put Into the field, and every
Hungarian In the Austrian army will
prove to be a real patriot In the hour of
peril. If the emperor tries to suppress us
with the sword we will show him that the
Magyar sword Is as sharp at the Austrian."

meet with the warm approval of .General
Booth.
General Booth, on being shown a cabled
summary of Mr. Haggard's report, said
that It Justified his long agitation In favor
of oversea colonization. He endorsed Mr.
Haggard s ideas and congratulated him
on the teal he has shown In advocating

we could not obtain what we had most at
heart the sole direction of our own foreign

of all we witnessed an abortive attempt to
give consular representation to eacn King

Sweden. But It laid down conditions at the

ROME. July 15. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The Italian press is still en
gaged In disputing the meaning of the in-
cyclical of Pius X. Some of the new spa
pers which were most confident at first In
proclaiming the withdrawal of the non ex
pedit have now, on more mature considera
tion of the whole document, modified their
views. The Trlbuna, putting aside the
question as to whether the non expedit will
ultimately be withdrawn for all time or not.
says that at least the document constitutes
an official recognition of the fact that Cath
olics have already voted. For the rest It
seems to regard the encyclical as an astute
move to capture the sympathies of the
working classes and warns the liberal parly
that, should Catholics go to the polls the
socialists mr.y not be the only sufferers.
The Italia cares little for the actual
phrases which maintain the non expedit
while suppressing It, and suppress while
maintaining It; the document In future. It
says, wil! be known as the one which gave
liberty to the Catholics, though the Ilaile
at the same time publishes the most con
tradictory opinion as to the result that this
liberty may have on Italian politics. The
Osservatore Romano, faithful to Its meth
ods, publishes a comment which Is quite
unintelligible.
The provincial press makes but little re
mark. The Corriere Delia Sera of Milan
says: "Stripped of all other accessories,
the latest encyclical amounts to this Ital
ian Catholics must organize themselves
after the most modern and alert fashion
possible to prepare for political and parlia
mentary 'work. This Is the first time that
the pope has publicly alluded to the par
ticipation of Catholics In elections and their
entrance Into Parliament. The Holy Seo
does not for the present abolish the non
expedit principally out of regard for for
eign Catholics but the pope grants per
mission to the bishops in certain cases to
depart from the established law and to
take part In the electoral struggle."
The work of organisation has already
been set on foot by the appointment of
three Catholic laymen to Inquire and re
port to the pope as to the best means of
attaining the objects Indicated In the en
cyclical. . (... , - '

ARMY SCANDAL CREATES TALK
Movement of Vote of Censure Fails,
bnt Members Have Warm
Discission.
LONDON. July IS. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The vote of censure on the
government In respect of the army con
tract scandals, which was moved In the
House of Commons by Sir R. Reld, failed
like Its predecessors, the majority for the
government being seventy-four, which is
exactly the present estimate of its work
ing strength. This has given rise to the
never ending discussion of whether the
government Is growing stronger or weaker,
or whether It is riding for a fall, or whether
these oft-repeated failures really Indicate
satisfaction on the part of the vast ma
jority of the voters of the way that things
are betas conducted.
That the government did show unex
pected strength In the matter of the army
contract scandals Is admitted by all who
have studied the drift of things. Ministries
have risen and fallen for less. And Im
partial men probably agree that the min
isters made a better defense of the war
scandals than had been anticipated in
many quarters. In moving his resolution.
Sir Robert Reld Insisted that the House of
Commons cannot be prevented from In
quiring Into the conduct of the govern
ment by the fact that a royal commission
has been appointed to deal with the sub
Ject matter. That is quite true as a gen
eral proposition, but It does nol follow
that the critics of the government are
entitled to assume the truth of state
ments which have not been rrovfd. and
which were not checked by the examlna
tlon of the ministers primarily reeponsl
ble. The unfairness of this procedure was
illustrated rather sharply by Sir Robert
Reld himself, who, after quoting a state
ment reflecting on Lord Milne., Lord
Kitchener and Colonel Morgan, said he
did not affect to treat It as a matter which
had been established, but he Immediately
proceeded to expatiate upon the enormity
of the proceedings of these men If the
statement were true. Mr. Broderick com
plained with some Justice of the unfair
ness of having charges of this kind flung
at himself and others upon the report of
a committee which gave him no opportunity
for explanation of his own conduct. There
has no doubt, been waste and blunder
ing at every stage of the war with the
Boers.
If one thing has been demonstrated It' Is
that the people of Great Britain will not
take a continuous and Intelligent" interest
In military affairs. Efforts have been made
by the present government to remedy the
defects which successive governments of
both parties have failed to deal with. Sir
Henry Campbell-Rannerman says the gov
ernment has lost all grip on business. The
government officials on the other hand
claim that it Is the first government for
a generation that has shown any grip at
all of the fundamental principles of effi
cient preparation for war. Mr. Broderick
and Mr. Arnold- Forster showed at any
rate that they tried to do the best that
was possible In the ,very difficult circum
stances with the very bad machinery they
Inherited from their predecessors. The

LONDON, July 15 -(Speclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) A royal commission on ocean
freights, which conducted Its Inquiry In
western Australia, has made a report to
the governor, declaring that It has found
conclusive evidence of the existence of a
London shipping ring injurious to British
trade.
It Is stated that the ring is buttressed
by a deferred rebate of 10 per cent con
ditional on the shipper remaining loyal
to the ring and shipping to no outside boat.
The ring Is declared to consist of loading
brokers In London working In concert with
the Western Australian Shipping associa
tion (limited). The London brokers take
four-fifths of the profits, which have aver
aged $270,000 per annum for nine years.
The result Is that the lower steamship
rates from German ports have diverted

President Writes to Moody.
, President Roosevelt has determined that
the scandal growing out of the cotton
rnri leaks in the department of agricul

holds that the man or men responsible for
the leaks are even In greater degree culp
able than they would have been had they
stolen money outright from the govern
ment. He proposes that Assistant Statis
tician Holmes, against whom serious allega
tions are made, shall be punished if tt
shall be found possible to secure his ar
rest and conviction under present laws.
The president has followed the work of
the Investigation conducted by Secretary
Wilson with keen Interest. The general re
sults have been presented to him, together
with such recommendations as Secretary
Wilson had to make. The president took
prompt and decisive action, lie referred
the matter to the Department of Justice
with Instructions that It should be given
Immediate and careful attention. In ac
cordance with that order, Solicitor Generil
Hoyt Is now making a thorough Inquiry
Into the case. To reinforce his formal or
der. President Roosevelt, wrote the follow
ing pointed letter to Attorney ueneiu
Moody:
My Dear Mr. Moody: I most earnestly
hope that every effort will be made to bring
Holmes to Jumlce In connection with tli
cotton report scandal. Please go over the
papers yourself. The man Is. in my judg
ment, a far groater scoundrel than If ne
had stolen mqney rrom tne government, as
he used the government to deilve outsid
ers and to make money for himself and for
others. Sincerely yours.
