NO H0HENZ0LLFRN f OK NORWAY'S 1 HRONE German Foreign Ofllee Enter Denial of Story Sent Oat from Btoelt holm Regarding- Atti tude of Emperor. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 27.-Both house of the Swedish Parliament today approved the report of the special commit tee appointed by Parliament to deal with the crisis between Norway and Sweden. In the flmt chamber the report waa adopted without debate. In the second chamber the recommenda tion In the report regarding negotiation for a dissolution was adopted unanimously, but there was some objection to the pro posed loan of 326.000,000 to meet the new conditions. About a score of member moved against the loan, the socialist-democrat leader, Herr Brantlng, pointing out the danger of militarism and declaring that the proposed loan was contrary to the peaceful spirit of the recommendation to negotiation. It was a dangerous precedent, he said, for Sweden never heretofore had borrower' money for military purposes, and he feuied Norway would regard It in the nature of a threat of war. This view was contested by other speakers, who pointed out that the Riksdag by its unanimous ap proval of the condition of dissolution had voiced Its willingness to dissolve the union and its desire for peace, both In the pres ent and In the future. Germans Deny Report. BERLIN, July 27.

July 27.-The British channel fleet will sail fur the Baltic sea August 20 and will remain there through September. As It has been years since a British fleet appeared In that sea, the announcement is connected In th publio mind with Em peror William's recent tour and the visit of a German squadron to Scandinavian waters. The cruise of the British fleet la regarded a designed to counteract the pre ponderance of German influence In Scan dinavian politic. The Admiralty, how ever, discourage the idea of politics hav ing any bearing on theculse and say that th Baltic 1 an open sea and. that th fleet 1 limply going ther to execute maneuver, a ceremonious visit not being contemplated.

WHITE WOMAN AT BASIS OF THE ROW Ilaj-ry R. MeGeehla, a Discharged Sol. dler, Dead from Effect of Cots Inflicted by Will Miles, a Negro, at Large. Harry R. McGechln. a laborer employed at the melter, received wounds from a rasor In the hands of Will Miles, a negro, during a fight In front of the Cambridge hotel about 7:30 o'clock last night from which he died at the ClarKson hospital In less than two hours after the affray took place. Miles and McGechln had quarreled over a woman and during the debate Miles drew a rasor and slashed McGechln across the face and neck. Inflicting wounds on the left side of the neck which caused his death. Mile ha not yet been arrested, but la well known to the authorities. Although the police were notified Imme diately after the cutting had been done the wounded man received no surgical atten tion for nearly an hour after he was cut Surgeons Langdon and Willis were both absent from the station and effort to lo cate Dr. Ralph were fruitless for a time. He was finally found, and after giving tho wounds temporary dressing, had the man taken to the Clarkson hospital, where ho died soon after arrival. Mardercd Man an Ex-Soldler. McGechln has been living at the Cam bridge hotel only three or four days and is not very well known by those who have seen him around the office. It Is known that he Is employed at night as a laborer at the smelter works and has been there for several months.. Trior to going to work there he was a private In Company E, Twenty-second Infantry and waa stationed at Fort Crook, and about five months ago he received his honorable discharge. His parents live In New York state. Florence Fleck, the woman about whom the two men quarreled, lives at the hotel, and states that she knew nothing of the dissensions of the two men until she saw McGechln lying on the floor of the hotel office with blood pouring from the wounds In his face and neck. Bertha St, Clair, who lives at the Cam bridge, was tho only witness to the fight that could be located. She waa arrested by Officer Dan Baldwin and Is being held as a witness. Florence Fleck Is also at the sta tion being held as a state witness. Captain Mostyn detailed Detectives Pa tullo and Horne and Officer Dan Baldwin on the case, officers who are acquainted with Miles. Casts of the Quarrel. It Is reported to the police that the Fleck woman and Miles had been living together for some time up to about three months ago, when McGechln came on the scene and Miles accused him of alienating the affection which the white woman had borm for the negro. Yesterday Miles wrote turee notes to the woman begging her to come back and live with him, and when Mc Gechln returned home lute In the after noon the notes were shown to him. When the two met In the ex-enlng the quarrel re sulted. Miles ha been working In one of the packing houses In South Omaha and !s known as a man with a bad temper and very quarrelsome. He Is well known to the police, having been arrested several times for petty thievery. Telephone messages hare been ent to Flattamouth, Nebraska City',' Lincoln, Fremont and other" nearby towns, and all the outgoing trains are be ing watched vigilantly in the hope of lo cating the fugitive. McGechln is not unknown In Omaha police annals. He was sent to the penitentiary from here for a one-year term and ha been out only a short time. He was con victed of stealing elevator fittings from the Dellone hotel building.

Taft'n Visit Criticised. ST. PETERSBURG. July 27. The sub stance of the interview in New York with M. Sato, spokesman of the Japanese peace envoys, on the position of Japan In the peace negotiations was reproduced In th paper here and paased almost without com ment, only the Novoe Vremya Indulging In a sarcastic fling, saying that "Japan ha conducted the war quite economically, only a million a day, but she had better present the bill to those who are furnishing the sin ews of war and not to the country upon which the war was forced." A supplementary statement specifying the cession of the Island of Sakhalin and fixing the amount of the Indemnity for th coat of the war contained no surprise and caused but little flurry except In circles directly Interested. The bourse was not affected. The Vle!v?mostl takes the occasion to di rect sharp criticism at the visit of Secre tary of War Taft and Miss Roosevelt to Japan and complains that the moment for the trip waa tactlessly chosen. The paper adds that the efforts to prove that the visit to the land of the rising sun is devoid of political meaning is "childlike." The war party Is again making headway, drawing capital from General Llnevitch's optimistic telegrams, one of which with the emperor's reply declaring that the misfor tunes of war have not shaken his belief In the courage and devotion of the army, and containing a glowing wish that the troop may bring the war to a happy con elusion, is published in all the papers. In diplomatic circles a general feeling of surprise Is professed that Japan has shown her cards to such an extent before the meeting of the plenipotentiaries. There Is no unity of opinion regarding the bearing of tbe Interview on tho prospects of peace. It Is realised that much will depend on the extent -to which M. . Wltte ha been instructed to push opposition to the pay ment or an indemnity. Though on pro nil nent diplomat tuld the Associated Pre that according to his Information M. Wltte has been Instructed to refuse absolutely th payment or a rial indemnity, other sources are less sure of the exact nature of these Instructions., i Wltto Delayed by Fog;. CHERBOURG, July 27.-Although It was announced that tbe North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wtlhelm der Gross, left Tbe Needles at 4. Jo this morning, the ves sel Is still her a this dispatch is Hied. M. Wltte. the chief Russian peace pleni potentiary, who la a passenger on th Kaiser Wllhslm der Grosse, appear some what annoyed at th delay, th Russian peace party being already late when com pared with the Japanese. The Russians were most Interested In reading th pros dispatches describing th arrival In New York of Baron Komura aad his party and expressed th hop that I the Jap-inese condition would be really a moderate as set forth m the dispatches re ceived here.. Owing to lack of accommo dation at the hotels some of the passen gers of the Kaiser Wllhclm der Gross were compelled to spend the night on board North Oerman Lloyd Steamship company tugs. In sleeping cars at the railroad sta tion, and e-n on th pier. The North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wllhettn Der Grosse with M. Wltte and his larty on board sailed dor-New York from here at 10:30 a. m. M. Wltte's family accompanied him on board the steamer, where lie was greeted by Captain Cuppers and received his mall and several telegrams. After affectionately taking leave of his family M. Wltte said, smiling: "I hope to Teturn soon." The fog having somewhat cleared away, the steamer sailed. Mme. Wltte soon after ward left Cherbourg for Brussels. Capitalists Getting- Bnsy. BERLIN, July 27. In view of the proba bility of an early peace between Russia and Japan, the terms of which will Involve tho payment of a very heavy Indemnity by Russia, the financiers of Europe have been holding conference to the end that the peace Indemnity may be paid without seri ously disturbing the finances of the world. The Mendelssohn, the Berlin bankers who have been for many year the representa tive on the continent of the Russian gov ernment and who have negotiated many of the Russian loans, have formed an alliance with the Rothschilds In respect to the mat ter and have hold communications with all the leading financial institutions both on the continent and In Ungland. They are about to send their representatives to New York with a view to enlisting the co-operation of the larger financiers of the United States. It Is likely that a Russian loan for the purpose of paying the Indemnity will be scattered and that a considerable por tion of It will be taken In the United States. J. P. Morgan, after having conferred with a number of financiers of England, Is sail ing today for New York. RECEIVER FOR EQUITABLE (Continued from First Page.) Item after the manner stated could not have been the result of an inadvertence, and certainly constituted a concealment of facts sufficient to render the company' worn statement for 1104 materially Inac curate." HIT IN HEAD BY AN ENGINE South Omaha Man Knocked from Track nnd Lies Unconscious All Night. To be hit In tbe head by a locomotive and not know it Is an experience that comes to but lew men. That novelty has been enjoyed, however, by William Green- hagen of South Omaha, and he lives with six scalp wounds as a witness of the casualty. Greenhagen was returning to his home from Blieely at 12:30 Wednesday night. When walking along tho track near Sheely he was hurled several feet out In the right-of-way. The first he knew subse quent to this accident was at 6:30 Thursday morning, when ho regained consciousness after being prodded several times by some parsons who saw him 'ying beside the track. He and those who found him could figure out no other theory than that he was struck by an engine. He was taken to his home, badly hurt.

Local mer chants interested In trade with China have been rather anxious over a rumor afloat that the Chinese boycott against American goods had, gone Into effect and that all the big milling and flour companies had re ceived stop orders from their agents In the Orient and that existing contract had been canceled. China buy about 1220,000,000 worth of foreign good annually. Of this amount about 120,000.000 come from the United State, of which about $4,000,000 come from San Francisco.

Magnate This Way is Fuzi'ing Railroad Man. SEVERAL REASONS ARE IN SPECULATION Reported He Will tee Moffatt a " Well as Look After Tunnels Through Merra Kevada Mountnlu. Th coming of E. H. Harrlman to the west at this time la a matter of much In terest in railroad circles. Mr. Harrlman belongs to that class of men who somehow do not take the publio Into their confi dences, hence It Is not generally known, from the lips of Mr. Harrlman, Just why he Is making a special trip from New York to the Pacific const now. But conditions offer some mighty good suggestions. Kali road men who are wont to speculate on such matters think they see enough out fn this western country to Interest the great magnate to the extent of calling for a per sonal visit. First and foremost this Is no secret he ha projected the construction of five great tunnels through the Sierra Nevada moun tains dividing California and Nevada and taking the place of the forty-one miles uf snow sheds which protect the Southern Pacific as it traverses the great divide. Theft snow sheds long have been an eye sore to E. H. Harrlman. "My next big Job Is to abolish those snow sheds and bore a big hole through those hills," said the railroad king to a party of newspaper men on the occasion of his trip to the west when the Ogdon-Lucln cut off was opened and dedicated. And now that work is In progress. So that Is one reason why Mr. Harrlman is comffig west. What About the Ban red rot "Who controls the Salt Lake-San Pedro rond?" railroad men are asking these days. While It Is generally accepted that Sen ator William A. Clark, Just ordered to Europe to recover his health. Is the power behind the throne, there is substantial grounds In railroad circles for the state ment that the Harrlman people own 61 per cent of the stock of this road and 61 per cent gives control. Be that as it may the Union Taclfic is running Its trains over the San Pedro from Salt Lake as a short cut to Los Angeles and the Interesting point which railroad men are trying to settle Is, "If Harrlman docs not control this road, why not, since it Is a direct competitor of the Southern Pacific, beating that road Into Los Angeles and southern California by several laps?" Perfection of certain plans for the Im provement of conditions on this new road is taken as another object attracting Har rlman to the west. To Meet D. II. Moffat. Rumor has it that Mr. Harnman and D. H. Moffat have a conference scheduled at Denver, the subject of which will be tho future of the Moffat road building from Denver to Salt Lake. Whether it is true or not that the Goulds have a controlling Interest In the new Moffat line, railroad men of good Judgment adhere to the theory that It benooves the Harrlman Interests to get In on this proposition if they can, and if not prepare competition which will make It hard for the Moffat people to gain the whip hand at which they have aimed. The road, as projected, goes on a bee line, almost, from Denver to Salt Lake and there an interesting question arises, "How much tartrer wost will It extend?" It might go on to San Francisco and there is a great deal of talk that It -will do this. In that event Mr. Harrlman would have another competitor of potential strength.' The exact time of Harrlman' arrival In Omaha t not known at Union Pacific headquarter. , Electric Line Project. Incidentally, since his retirement from the board of directors of the Harrlman rbads, E. H. Huntington, owner of the street railway system of Los Angeles, has bought Redondo, eighteen miles from Los Angeles and one of the most popular of southern California beach resorts." He Is said to have a gold mine In the traffia which his motor lines carry to and from this great place. Mr. Harrlman is said to have the evil eye on Coronado Beach or another rival of Redonda, and also to have determined on extensive Investments In electric line property In southern California as a competitor to Huntington. There is no question but that Huntington's revenues have been materially swelled by the en trance of the San Pedro road, and on the theory that Harrlman controls this road railroad men argue that he Is too shrewd to allow the fruits of his skillful labors to be entirely garnered by others thantilmself. IMPERSONATOR IS CAPTURED Man Who Sella Books as Government Agent Run Down' and Held at St. Joseph. Postoffice Inspector A. J. Moore has Just returned from Bt. Joseph, where he ar rested Victor R. Hulpgren of that vicinity on the charge of representing himself as a government agent In the sale and dis tribution of alleged government publica tions, known as "The Messages, Speeches and Papers of the Presidents." The arrest was brought about on the complaint of Assistant Postmaster J. W. Coonley of Hoag, Gage county, Nebraska, who had been Inveigled Into buying a set of the books, ten In number. In June, at the persuasion of Hulpgren. Hulpgren, It Is alleged, represented him self as a canvasser lor the bureau of na tional Information and arts and induced Mr. Coonley to Invest in the set of books at 13.60 per volume. Hulpgren demanded a preliminary hear ing upon his arrest and the hearing will be given him on August 1 before United States Commissioner C. C. Colt at St. Joseph.

OMAHA, July 27.-To the Editor of The Pee: On behalf of many thousands In Omaha who love order and decency, I would protest against the debasement cf the nihrrlagc ceremony which Is advertised as a Sunday attraction at Krug Park on tho 3oth Inst. The moral sentiment of thig community receives many a rude ' shock when the Sunday programs of our "popu lar" . summer resorts are announced. We thought that perhaps the climax had been reached when, a few weeks ago, tbe "bath ing" rlrphants disported themselves at Lake Manawa. But evidently It Is not So, for the tolling thousands of our great city are to witness the desecration of a solemn rite upon which homes are built, families ' are reared and civilization conserved. Is it any wonder that divorces are so alarm ingly on the Increase, and the marrlago vow so lightly held, when for mere gred and avarice, and the gratification of mor bid curiosity, the solemn and sacred mar riage covenant Is vulgarly travestied? Yours truly, , E. COMBIE SMITH. . REPORT OF A DISSOLUTION , Rumor Bays Grain Combine is Ho More, While Attorney Learned Denies It.

"I have no more Idea that , there will be than I have that The Bee will cult business tomorrow." By those who heard and believed the rumor it was supposed that the associa tion had decided to' forego any advantage which might be derived from the organiza tion in order to prove' to the farmers of the state that a Drain trust does not exist.
