Speaking of the Russian representative, M.
Wllte, Count Casslnl said:
1 think this Infinitely Important task
could not have been entrusted to a better
representative. He la a man of extraordi
nary capacity and of the tlnest character.
He knows tbe far eastern -question as few
men know It, and Is a patriot.
Regarding Internal difficulties, Russia has
now reached a critical moment In its his
tory, but America has had such a moment;
so has France. These difficulties will dis
uppoar and Russia will be stronger than
ever. They are merely passing difficulties
mid It would be unwise, to attach too much
Importance to them.
Referring, to the Chinese, Count Casslnl
aid: '
I like the Chinese. ' It takes years and
years of worry and trouble to bring them
around to your way of thinking or to
Induce them to enter Into any undertaking,
but, once convinced, they are loyal. A
Chinaman's word is as good as his oath.
I speak with all caution and circumspec
tion, but am, nevertheless, afraid that at
no very distant date England and America
will have reason to regret this war. They
may have more to fear from Japan's com
petition than from Russia.

Government mil aa Drawa la Re

sires lorarsli to Go on
Record en Snbject.
STOCKHOLM. Sweden, July 25. The
cabinet has resigned. y
The special commttttee arpolntej by the
RlKHda.? to deal with the crisis which
creuted the revolution In Norway today de
livered Its report. The committee declares
unanimously that the government bill can
not be adopted In the form In which It
was presented to the Riksdag and pro
poses that the Riksdag shall signify Its
willingness to negotiate with Norway for a
dissolution of the union If the newly
elected Storthing requests a repeal of the
act of union and a dissolution of the
union, or If such request Is received from
Norway after the Norwegian people by a
plebiscite have declared In favor of a dis
solution of the union.
Recommendations of-Committee.
The committee recommends that In the
event of a dissolution of the union Sweden
should Insist upon the following terms:
First The establishment of a sone on
each side of the frontier separating the
kingdoms within which the existing fortifi
cations shall be razed and new fortifications
may not he erected.
Second The riirhf nf rtAwturlnff- reindeer
belonging to Swedish Laplanders In north
Norway.
Third That the transit trade through
both countries shall be secured against un
justifiable obstruction.
FJurth That the status of Sweden In
respect to foreign powers, as established
ny treaty, snail be clearly denned, so that
8weden shall be completely freed from
responsibility for Norway to other states.
The committee also regards an arbitra
tion convention between Sweden and Nor
way as desirable, although It does not con
sider It an essential condition for the dis
solution of the union.
The committee further proposes to
authorize the government to raise a loan
of $26,000,000, which can, by a resolution of
the Riksdag, be made available for such
readjustments and arrangements as may be
necesnUated by the new conditions.
Regarding eventual negotiations with
Norway, the committee declares that:
"Whatever may be demanded for the wel
fare and dignity of Sweden as a condition
of the repeal of the act of union on the
part of Sweden and the recognition of
Norway, must be claimed and adhered to
with rigor And determination."
Sn-eden Made Conresslnna.
The preamble of the committee's report
Is a lengthy recltitation of the events lead
ing up to the committee appointment,
claiming that Sweden made all possible
concessions In order to maintain the
union. Despite these efforts the dlflcul
tles grew until they climaxed In the revo
lution. '"It Is self evident," declared the com
mittee, "that the committee was not dis
solved by the Storthing's action. A con
tract cannot be broken by one party's
parliament. Therefore the Storthing's
action can only be considered as Norway's
declaration that it does not desire any
longer to maintain it. It Is for Sweden to
decide what action Is necessary. Accord
ing to the laws It would be fully Justified
In uaing the necessary force to re-establish
the union. This would seem to be the
natural course in the first excitment, but
reflection shows that it would be against
the true interests of . Sweden. There was
great mutual advantage in the union, but
Its maintenance by force would make the
union a source of weakness Instead of
strength. Sweden should not therefore
employ force, but must Insist that Its per
mission is necessary to its dissolution.
Sweden must agree to the cancellation of
the act of union on certain conditions. In
slating as a preliminary on a satisfactory
settlement of all affairs mutually affecting
the two countries."
The committee emphatically disapproves
of any action by Sweden either In the direc
tion of a dissolution of the union or recog
nltlon of Norway's Independence until the
Norwegians have had an opportunity
through elections or a plebescite of ex
pressing their wishes. If the vote favors a
dissolution the Storthing must legally ap
proach Sweden to this end and if a satis
factory agreement can be reached the com
mittee recommends Sweden's assent.
The report points out that all threaten
ing action should be avoided, as it Is im
portant that the two peoples should live In
peace even if separated.
The committee in conclusion refuses to
recommend that the Riksdag authorize the
cabinet to negotiation with Norway as
demanded by the government bill, but says
that If Norway legally approaches Sweden.
In accordance with the committee's pro
posal, negotiations may be opened.
Norway Awalte Outcome of Debate.
CHRISTIANIA, July 25. Commenting on
the situation in Stockholm, all the news
papers prefer to await the debate in the
Riksdag on the report of the special com
mission before condemning the conditions
Sweden desires to impose, but the majority
Incline to the opinion that these conditions
will not be acceptable to Norway.
Norway Aska Recognition.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 25.-The
question of the recognition of Norway as
an Independent state Is now before Presi
dent Roosevelt, having been referred to
him by Assistant Secretary of State Adee.
On numerous occasions it has happened
that a revolutionary party has asked to
be recognized as an independent nation,
but Norway has not seceded from Swe
den through a revolution, but merely has
taken back the sovereignty which once
had been given to the king of Sweden.
Many private Norwegian citizens have
asked the United States to recognize the
new state, and C. Hauge, who until the
secession was first secretary of the lega
tion of Sweden and Norway, has pre
sented a more or less formal request to
the State department, which, however, has
no official authority. Ail these requests,
however, have been referred to the presi
dent. WOULD PROBE ALL COMPANIES

HASTY MARRIAGE AND A FUSS
Two Lincoln Ulrla and Two Indlnnn
Doya nnd On Pair of
An erred Parenta.
Officer W. R. Wilson intervened aa peace
maker at the Burlington depot about 7
o'clock last evening between the parents of
a newly made bride and a happy young
couple had the conjugal knot tied only a
few hours.
Inei Mann of Lincoln, Neb., and Fred
Sotnmers of Crawfordsville, Ind.. were mar
ried In Omaha by Judge Berka Tuesday
afternoon, and b the wedding there hangs
a romance that would be a fit aubject for
a Uertha Clay novel.
Fred Sommers and Harry Jennings, two
young men who, according to their own
statement, have Just completed their edu
cation in an eastern college and who re
side at Crawfordsville, Ind., have been tour
ing the west in search of a location to
go Into business. They visited several
towns In Iowa and Nebraska without find
ing anything suitable and several days
ago they went to Lincoln, but forthwith
topped looking for the location when they
met two young women. Miss May Burns
and Miss Ines Mann, daughters of well
known Lincoln citizens. It was a case of
"love at first sight." The two! couples
came to Omaha and were married, Mr. and
Mrs. Jennings going back to Lincoln and
receiving the parental blessing, and a wed
ding feast.
Mrs. Sommers, who waa Miss Mann, did
not fare so well. When her parents had
learned of the marriage they forthwith
started for Omaha and met the couple at
the Burlington station, where they were
waiting to meet the other couple, who re
turned to Omaha on the same train. This
was where Officer Wilson's service was
enlisted, for he saw that trouble was brew
ing between the three parties, and It was
with difficulty that he finally got Mr. and
Mrs. Mann quieted down where they would
talk sensibly. The result was that Officer
Wilson got all sis persons into a Dodge
street car, went to the room of Mr. and
Mrs. Sommers, Eighteenth and Podge
streets, where the marriage certificate was
hanging conspicuously on the wall, and the
wrath of the old folks waa mollified to such
an extent that the young folks received
the blessing of the bride's parents as well
as good wishes from the policeman.
RAILROAD OFFICIALS TALK
BorllnKton Seeks to Provo Ita Aa
aeaament . In. Deualaa County
la Too Hitch.
Three depositions wefe taken In the Bur
lington tax case Tuesday. Assessor Miller
of Lancaster county was on for the state
in the morning. In the afternoon the
depositions of Auditor Sturgls and Tax
Agent Tatton of the Burlington were
taken. Mr. Sturgls testified as to the
holdings of bonds of other corporations by
the Burlington .Railroad company. These
amount to a good many millions, according
to Auditor Sturgls,. and the contention of
the railroad is il.at the companies issuing
these bonds In which the Burlington has
Invested are paying taxes on them elae
where; therefore the Nebraska state board
should not assess them.
Tax Agent.J'atton's testimony went to
the value of real, estate holdings of the
road outside of Nebraska, which the state
Is ' willing to 'concede should not be in
cluded in any' ta,x lVlej here. .
Today the stale, will put oh several asses
sors from outside counties, and the rail
road may 'also "bring forward some wit
nesses. The balance of the week will' be
consumed -in the taking of deposition In
the case.
The main point Attorney General Brown
established from. Assessor Reed of Doug
las county was that while the railroad
property had not been over-assessed no
other property in the county had been
under-assessed.
The contention of the railroad ' in this
case is that the State Board of Equaliza
tion and Assessment has taxed It at least
2o per cent higher than It should be. In
this claim the Burlington la Joined by the
Union Pacific. Both roads have tendered
to the various counties the tax they claim
they should pay, and pending the decision
by Judge Munger the tax Is uncollected.
Should the roads win, which the attorney
general does not expect, the Burlington
would save $150,000 and the Union Paclfio
$50,000.

SITUATION AT THE FRONT
Rossiao and Japanese Lines Art Seven
Miles Apart.
SHARP SKIRMISHING LAST FRIDAY
First Flajkt Eaat of the Railway
Reanlta la Defeat of the Slav
More Troopa for I.lne-
vHch. ,
Ft'SAN. July 26.-The last three months
with both armies has been the most aulet
period of the entire war. There have been
no engnrementa .t t'l front, the only en
counters being those of reconnoltering ex
peditions sent out by both armies, similar
to that of last Friday, with a small total of
losses.
The Russian and Japanese lines are seven
miles apart. The Russians maintain a
screen of cavalry outposts some miles in
front of their trenches to guard against
attacks. Reconnoltering forces from both
sides traverse the neutral sone, frequently
feeling the strength of the others at the
front and making a small weekly Hat of
killed, wounded and captured.
The fight reported on Friday was the first
worthy of rpentlon which has occurred east
of the railway. Two Russian reconnolter
ing forces approached the Japanese line,
one about twenty miles, the other seventy
miles east of the railway. The first con
tingent constated of two squadrons of
cavalry, the second of two battalions of In
fantry. Both retired after brief encounters.
The Japanese sustained no losses, but
those of the Russians are supposed to hare
been nearly 100.
In the first encounter the Russian cavalry,
with Ita front side 1,000 meters long, ad
vanced upon the Japanese line, until it
came under fire,- when It retired in con
fusion and the Infantry advanced. The
Japanese fired forty rounds with a cap
tured Russian battery, when the Russians
retired, the Japanese infantry following
them for ten miles.

Oosstp and conjecture, are busy with the
reasons for and results of the meeting
between Emperor William and Emperor
Nicholas off the Island of BJorkoe, but
the return of the Russian imperial- party
to Petcrhof has added nothing definite to
the information regarding the subjects dis
cussed or the conclusions reached at the
private Interviews between the two sov
ereigns. Under the circumstances no au
thoritative statement can be made and
the only information vouchsafed is that
the conversations were extremely cordial
and friendly. The belief that the meeting
will make for peace was reflected on the
Bourse today, imperial 4s rising a full
point to S6V4 in a Arm market. The Im
portance of the meeting Is recognized In
the press comments of all shades of opin
ion. Various conjectures are advanced as
to its meaning, but they are all admittedly
guesswork.
The Bourse Qasette haa a well written
editorial, pointing . to. the. fact that the
good, neighborly relations with, .Germany
enabled Russia to withdraw part of its
army from its western frontier and de
clare it Is the duty of Russian diplomacy
to strengthen these relations, at the same
time maintaining that the Franco-Russian
alliance made In the interests of peace must
be in no wise disturbed, and that neither
France or Great Britain have any reason
to worry over the conference.
The Novoe Vreyma, after cataloguing the
various suppositions advanced, declares It
Is useless to guess which of them is cor
rect and then concludes sagely that it Is
sometimes good to have a diplomatic ques
tion discussed without the assistance of
professional diplomats.
Liberal circles are inclined to look
askance at the meeting, the pessimists
thinking that it bodes ill to reform, and the
Otchestva sees In it the future visit of a
German squadron to Russian waters and
disaster to Russia, economically and po
litically. Berlin Haa No Report of Meetlnc.
BERLIN, July 2S. Although the German
Foreign office was advised In the sonse
cabled to the Associated Press yesterday
of. the general outlines of what Emperor
William would say to Emperor Nicholas in
favor of peace and internal reforms in
Russia, no report has been received regard
ing wh'atsctually took place and probably
no report will be received unless it be a
belated memorandum covering some point
for preservation in the archives. The For
eign office says definitely that the Russian
emperor took the Initiative in bringing the
Interview about. Who took the first step
is not essential were it not that the Ger
man emperor Is represented aa desiring to
offer unsolicited advice.
It IS learned from another source that the
two emperors have a private cipher in
which telegrams are occasionally ex
changed and which pass through no third
hand.

to spend the summer.
The above is not a society Item, but
refers to a cur doa- owned hv Mrs. Mary
J Gregory of 2223 California street. Mrs.
Gregory was defendant Tuesday morning In
police court, a complaint of keeping a
vicious dog paving been filed against her
by James Adams, a neighbor. It was al
leged the Gregory dog severely bit James
Adams, Jr., son of the plaintiff, and from
the evidence offered Judge Berka ruled
that the woman should be fined IS and coats
and the dog shot, making a condition that
when the dog waa killed the fine would be
remitted.
So attached Is the woman to the dog
that she positively refuses to give the dog
into court to have It killed and Bays she
will go to Jail If there Is no other alterna
tive in the matter. As the matter now
stands she paid the fine, amounting to $7.50,
and has not yet been placed In Jail. When
the woman was fined the sentence
of death passed on the dog and It was
shown that Mrs. Gregory would not deliver
the animal to court, Officer Wooldrldg
wa sent to the Gregory home to locate
Spotts and carry out the order of the
court. Spotts, however, was not at home
and the information was given that the
dog had gone to the country for an In
definite period. Inasmuch as the woman
paid her fine, she cannot now be charged
with keeping a vicious dog, and as the
police officials are unable to find a law
that would Justify them in placing the
woman in Jail in the premises, the inoldent
appears to be closed, unless Spotts should
choose to return to the city. Some one
has suggested that the dog could be
charged with being a fugitive from Justice.
Spotts figured in the death of Mrs.
Gregory's husband, who was klllled on the
railroad tracks on East Dodge street on
May 8, 104. . Mr. Gregory left his horn to
go nsmng, taking the dog with him: About
dusk the dog came home alone and with
blood over his body. The animal whined
around the house for an hour and was
restless all that night. In the early hours
of the next morning Gregory's body was
found beside tbe track by a train crew.
The dog had been In the Gregory home
for ten years.

EVIDENCE MUSJ BE STRONG
This la What Norrla Draws Says
Abont State Starting on the
Worrall Caae.
Attorney General Norrla Brown, who is
In Omaha this week taking testimony In
a railroad tax case, waa asked If he con
templates any action in his official capacity
against the alleged grain trust which the
Worrall Grain company is suing for heavy
damages.
"That is a question to which I am unable
at present to give a definite answer." said
the attorney general. "I may say that I
have been giving it some consideration, as
the facts have developed at the hearings
had so far, but before any action la Insti
tuted by the state there must be a pretty
strong ground to base it on. If my office
concludes to take any hand In that case
the people will have due notice.''
