were dispersed fudges, nuts. Ices, lemonade

expeditious, and both chamber have
adopted the proposal of the peclal com
mittee unanimously. In the case of the
first chamber In which aristocratic and
conservative feeling Is strong this is rather
remarkable, and to some extent minimizes
the unfavorable impression created by the
resignation of the Ramstedt cabinet. The
Riksdag will still continue in extraordinary
session, though the actual sittings will be
euspended and the members allowed to re
turn to their homes. They will be within
reach of the telegTaph, and can return to
Stockholm when required to deliberate
upon the action of Norway. When the
referendum has been held the next step,
according to the Swedish program, will
be for Norway to "make representations to
Sweden regarding a repeal of the Rlksakt
and the dissolution of the union." Thl
tep 1 probably the one which will cause
the most heart searching In Norway, for
It will Involve the virtual If not the ex

the union is already dissolved.

tation of the old union, but for it right
to assist at It obsequle. and Norway ha
nothing to gain by challenging It on thl
point. Both people have1 made up their
minds that they desire dissolution, and the
form which It take la really a matter of
secondary Importance. If Norway can
bring Itself to make representations to
Bweden In accordance with the report of
the special committee of the Riksdag It Is
thought that the actual condition laid
down by Sweden ought not to present any
"rysreat difficulties. Some question
growing out of the dismantling of the for
tlflratlons on the frontier are likely to
cause aome differences of opinion. Norway
ha several fort along this line, all
equipped with expensive modern artillery;
Sweden Is without a corresponding line of
defense. Norway Is called upon to sacri
fice It existing fortifications, while Sweden
In return given a pledge that It will not
establish fortifications In the future. As
a matten of fact the retention of the forts
la not a matter of life and death to Nor
way and certainly ought not to weigh In
the scale against the opportunity of an
amicable settlement with Sweden, and
probably will not when It Is remembered
that the dissensions between Norway and
Sweden afford temptation to their large
neighbors.
One or two small fortresses, more or
less, like those of Frederlksten and Kong
svlnger, are not likely to weigh In the
balance with the Important subject dis
cussed hy Bmperor William and the czar

to The Bee.) Nearly S.noO people are to be
turned out of their homes at Walworth in
order that a slum quarter may be trans
formed Into what will be by comparison a
garden suburb.
A year ago a lease granted In 1W expired
and the Ecclesiastical commissioners frund
themselves In possession of a Walworth es
tate of twenty-two acre.
As the property Is situated In one t.f
the most densely populated slum In South
London and was crowded with narrow
streets It was decided to rebuild the whole
area In a similar style to the rebuilding
carried out In the New Cut. Lambeth, and
In such a manner as to plane the- estato
at the disposal of the working classes al
ready living there.
The building will consist of V4 cottage
flats of three rooms each, R7 cottages of
four room, 54 cottages of five rooms, 4R9
three-room tenements, 7 two-room tene
ments, two three storyed tenement houses.
The total cost will be about H.OOO.OnO end
In return for this outlay an Interest of
about 4 per cent Is expected.

Passengers on t'nlnn Pacific train No. 11
had more fun Friday morning than If they
had been at an old settlers' picnic or husk
ing bee. There were Just three newly
married couples aboard. One of the couples,
Jack and Jill they were known by on the
trjjin, fell Into the hands of friends when
they reached Omaha on their way from
Chicago to San Francisco. Jack and Jill
received a fine send-off at Chicago and
they really thought that by the time they
reached! Omaha they would be able to settle
down to" a quiet life and enjoy their honey
moon. On arrival at Omaha someone, no one
know who It was, passed through the train
and quickly placed in every seat an 8x10
circular containing half-tone cuts of the
bride and groom and a lot of reading mat
ter befitting the occasion. The feelings of
the young couple when they returned to
their coach from a walk around the Union
station and found their pictures distributed
throughout the train may be better Im
agined than expressed.
The other couples on the train were Mr.
and Mrs. F. W. Brown, Jr., of Lincoln
and Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Berry of Kansas
City.

that he I having no difficulty In securing
entries of some of the highest class horses
In th United State, attracted by the repu
tation of thl circuit and by the liberal
purse which have been hung up by the di
rector. Dr. Grey haa been engaged again this
fall a the general manager of the show
and hi unlimited experience, coupled with
the knowledge gained by the directors
from conducting one of the most success
ful show of the country last fall and the
most successful first year show ever held
In America will make all matter move
with moothnes and eclat.
Problem for Directors. N-
One difficult problem confronts the di
rectors and that Is to put In the ring In
the Auditorium In the time alloted by the
management of that Institution who have
booked attractions so that but four day
will be left to accomplish the task of put
ting In the tan bark arena.
Effort are being made by the executive
committee to ecure the same rate from
the railroads for the Horse Bhow as Is
given to the Knights of Ak-8ar-Ben for
the fall festival. Neither of these rate
have been announced up to date, but tho
director hope to secure a rate of on fare
for Nebraska and the same rates for Iowa,
Kansas and Missouri where the rate is
less than W- The directors on their pert
promise to advertise the Horse Bhow ex
tensively and to do all In their power to
Induce people from all sections to visit the
greatest show In the west. Many came
from afar last year and the number will
be doubled this fall, according to the di
rectors. One of the directors said: "No
doubt the railroads will see the Importance
of giving these rates asked and will see
the necessity of helping the Auditorium and
the Horse Show which Is In the nature of
a public enterprise in which all are bene
fited If It la uccessful. Omaha received
more good advertising throughout the east
last fall by reason of the successful horse
show than from anything else that was
pulled off In Omaha last year."
Good Horses Coming:.
With the circuit consisting of such well
known horse show towns as Louisville.
Omaha, Kansas City anl Chicago the di
rector anticipate no difficulty In securing
the best horses that the country has among
the entries. The professional horse slow
men are sure to coma, for the prises are
large enough to attract them and personal
work on the part of the director and Dr.
Grey will secure some of the stables of the
wealthy owner who keep their horse
simply for the pleasure that they have In
owning fine horse.
The local classes will also be well filled
for the prize In these are all good and are
In group by themselves so that the local
owners do not hate to compete with the
crack horses from abroad.

Broken.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1 The French line
steamer La Bavole limped Into port today
partially disabled, one of Its engine hav
ing gone out of commission on Thursday.

along under a single engine until the nar
row channel leading up to the city was
reached, and by that time the assistance
which had been summoned by wireless
telegraph was at hand. A tug boat helped
the big liner around sharp turns In the
narrow water pathway and It came up to
Its dock without accident. An examination
of the engine disclosed the fact that the
Intermediate shaft was broken.
