DIFFICULTIES TOO GREAT FOR HIM 4ble to Prevent Armed Clash, but ot to Harmonise the Interest and Cement the I'nloa of Nations. STOCKHOLM, Sept. 2. (Special Cable fram.) The Norwegian plebsette demanded by the Swedish Plksdag, whose result has been awaited with so much Interest, has at last become an accomplished fact, giving 868,000 yeas for the dissolution of the union against the Insignificant minority of 181 nays, and thus It can safely be asserted that the whole Norwegian people wishes to be free from the union with Sweden. Since this correspondence comes from Sweden, It night be considered more appropriate 'o cite opinions from other countries con cerning the action of Norway, rather than giving Swedish opinions, which may be ex pected to be somewhat biased. My atten tion has Just been called to. what the great Berlin paper, the Post, says on this sub ject: "In nearly every country, outside :f Scandinavia, the opinion Is prevalent that It was somewhat unlawful and violent of the Norwegians to announce the union dis solved. As the telegraph has told us. the whole. Norwegian people has, with great unanimity and boundless rejoicing, voted for the dissolution of the union with Sweden. Oreatly disheartened, and com plaining Infringed rights, and mindful of former greatness, the Swedish people stand and look on. And King Oscar csnnot help having feelings of bitterness, knowing, ns he does, that he has sincerely worked for the solving of the union question In a conciliatory manner." Norwegian Fndorsea Klnar, In the lately published brochure, "Da Konlgrelch Norwegen Als Bouverane Staat," by Librarian A. C. Prolaum of Chrlstlanla, the author amply acknowledges the king's good will and the Incredible difficulties v.'hirh he has met with. Notwithstanding the king's serious Intention and .energtlc attempts to bring about a better feeling and relation between the united kingdom. It was his majesty's misfortune to be obliged to struggle agalnat'greater obsta cles than most constitutional kings have to cope with. The fact that, during the bitter struggle between the two kingdoms j force of arms has not been resorted to, al though a-catastrcphe haa many times been Imminent, twist he chiefly ascrrhed to the merits of the wise and moderate king who has stood at the helm during the storm. It would not. be In place for us to go Into the details of the dispute between Sweden arid Norway during the last few decades the flag question, the consular question and the question of diplomatic representation abroad. The Norwegians ?- cuse the Swedes qf relying on their nu merical superiority and strong economic standing and of bragging too much over their former greatnes. In reply to this aeousation. It may he aald that Sweden haa from the beginning been very moder ate, although Sweden's victory over Nor way's armed forces entitled Sweden to treat Norway as the conqueror treats the oanquered. When Bernadotte became king ha. tried to degrade the Norwegians from (M equal to a subordinate position, hut he tii BOt succeed, and since 1M4 Sweden has not given Norway any well founded cause . for complaint. For thirty years the Nor wegian have, nevertheless, energetically endeavored to hatch up conflicts, since their object waa to be free from the union. They hava now gained their object.

DUBLIN, Sept. 2 (Special Cablegram to The Bee.; Speaking at a meeting of na tional school teachers at Tuam. Rev. Dr. Healy, Roman Catholic archbishop of Tuam, referred to the recent disloyal dem onstration at the teachers' dinner at 81igo. He advised the 'eachers to conduct their legitimate agitation with prudence and cir cumspection and not allow the behaviour of a few Irresponsible person to bring dis credit on their cause. The Inhabitants of the west of Ireland always had been genu ine loyalists In spite of much foolish talk, but the Orangemen of Belfast were not genuine loyalists at all. They only prated about loyalty to the king, but when their loyalty was tested It was a humbug. Their western forefathers were loyal to Charles I perhaps more than he deserved because he was the king. They were loyal In their day to James 11 unworthy as he was be cause he was the king, whilst the ancestors of those blatant loyalists sold their king, a king of their own blood, and drove his chil dren Into exile. They in the west , were loyal to King Edward. They owed him an absolute and unconditional loyalty as king de Jure and de facto. The Belfast Oranne men were loyal to the king only because iia was a Protestant king, and If his tnsjesty Were to become a Roman Catholic they would kick his cown into the Boyne and bring In an usurper. These were the per- sons who lectured national teachers about disloyalty, when all of their own loyalty was founded on the sectarianism 'of the Hill of Rights, not on the true principles of Christian loyalty. He hoped that no Irish teacher or Irishman would ever fall to pay dne honor to the toi of "Edward VII." who not only royally but personally deserved that honor at the hands of every Irishman. But If anything could set him against rising to do due honor to the name of the king. It would be that he was called upon to do so by loyalists, who had no real loyalty, and by hypocrites, who mnde their boasted loyalty a pretence to preserve an odious political ascendency. THIBETAN WOMEN BEAUTIFUL British Consol's Report nf Trip Across China Published by the Government. LONDON. Sept. :. (Speclnl Cable gram to The Bee.) The experience of Mr. Alexander Hosle, British consul general at Chengtu, central China, during his re cent Journey from that place through western China to the frontier of Thibet and back have Just been published by the Foreign offlre In the form of a report. The story Is extremely Interesting. His travels, going and romlng, lasted over three months, and he covered 600 mile In each direction. The Inns were described as very filthy. One exception, described as splendid, had In its bed room a arone tank containing gold fish and was adorned with the parts of two beautiful coffins, evidently Intended for trie landlord and his wife In due season. The lid of the larger coffin measured ninety-four Inches In length, was shout twenty-six inches wide and threo Inches thick. In the Jurisdiction of a young chief reached during the summer time Mr. Hosle was much Interested In the women. "I was anxious to get a photograph of one of those maidens, arrayed In all her finery and Jewelry, but money was powerless to make her 'ook at my camera. Phe re treated Into the dark recesses of the house and declined to reappear. "Many of the Thihetan half-breed women wore long llk or aatln gowns, held In silk sashes, usually of a yellow color, and long, red-topped boots. In many places gold had taken the place of the usual all- ' ver ear-rings, chains, broocnes, rings and bracelets, and added to the charms of many beautiful women, for Thibetan women, when clean and well dressed, as they were on this occasion, will take rank with their European sisters. "Level, dark brown eyes, finely cut fea tures, an excellent carriage and sprlghtll ness of manner distinguishes them from the timid and insipid Chinese. The Thib etan woman Is not afraid or ashamed to give vent to her feelings In peals of merry laughter." GERMAN ZIONISTS DEPRESSED Soma Promoters of Movement Say that It la Now Doomed to Failure, BERLIN. Sept. I. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) German Zionists are greatly de pressed regarding the results of the Basle congress. Many leading members are be ginning to think that the program of the association Is unworkable, and that the movement in the shape in which It has hith erto existed 1 Impossible of achievement. The Frankfurter Zeltung, whose sympa thies with the Jewish race are most warm, sag that the Idea of a Jewish state I Utopian and would not meet with the wishes or the interest of the Jew them selves. A a nation they belong to the past; they are only a rellglou community at present. Since their dispersion they have become absorbed and Identified with other nations, and It only serve the cruel purpose of the anti-Semites to accentuate In an artificial manner this desire for a separate national existence. Zionism as evidenced at Basle was an attempt to galvanise a corpse. There I not even community or language among the Jews, nor Is Palestine In any way suit able for the purposes of the Zionists. To repeople this land with' the Jew Is je most I'toplan of all the Zionist nooVns.

CHANCE TO ENFOHCt INDIAN POLICY Bfay Be Able to Compel Kitchener to Adopt His Method. AMERICAN WIFE i.AS HIGH AMBITION I.ady Carson Said to Desire Her Hus band to Return to London and Leave Impress ipos Satlon. LONDON, Sept. 2. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) It Is possible that the two great parties of Great Britain, the conservatives and the liberals, arc about to see the entering wedge of the line of cleavage and the greatest split In party policies wit nessed Blnce Joseph Chamberlain startled the world with his repudiation of free trade and his commencement of a campaign In favor o i'rotection. It Is beginning to be believed here that the resignation of Ixjrd Curxon of Kedleston as viceroy of India foretells trouble for the conservatives. Bron Ciirnnti Is a con servative, but this fact makes him all the more powerful in case he chooses to lead the Tight In Englnnd against the con servatives and the home government. In all probability party ties In Great Britain set more lightly on men's shoulders than they do In the I'nlted States or the colonies,. From the days of the agitation in favor of the abolition of the corn laws, from the times of the great Pitt, English history Is full of Instances in which Kieat leaders of men have turned and walked Into the camp of the opposition without the cry ot "traitor" really seriously Injuring them. No one believes here that Lord Curxon Is the kind of a man to surrender a fight for a great principle without makinn a contest which shall be truly historic. The corre spondence shows a , decidedly bitter feeling between lord Curxon and Iord Kitchener, the commander-ln-rhlef of the forces In India, over the new scheme of army ad ministration In India. Iord Curzon's dis satisfaction came to a head with the re fusal of the cabinet to appoint Major Gen eral Sir Edmund Barrow on Lord Curxon'8 recommendation to be military supply member of the council. Carson Mlaht Make Tronhle. If Ixrd Curzon should return to England at the present time and Join forces with the liberals It would undoubtedly cause a political unheaval which must result in the downfall of the present conservative administration. It will be remembered that Just prior to tne adjournment of Parlia ment the government suffered a severe d'-feet nt the band of the liberal. Though Mr. Balt6rirvrefused to recognize the fact that the situation called for a resignation of the cabinet and an appeal to the country. It was everywhere admitted that the ad verse vote meant a general eleejlon within one year. The conservative leaders were a unit In acknowledging this; the chief objection urged was the fact that an appeal to the country during the hot summer months was not desirable. Even the liberals agreed with the conservatives that the summer time was not propitious for a campaign. Roughly speaking, it would ap pear that the chief difference between the liberals and the conservatives In the matter of the time of holding the election Is that the liberals want It next fail, the con servative are hoping to he able to put oft the crisis until next spring. And if the weakness of the government 1 any criterion, a liberal cabinet with a liberal premier Is not among the Impossibilities. In case Lord Curzon should play his cards right It I not impossible that he may find htrnself in the lead of of the lib' eral party. Mr. Campbell-Bannerman 1 not regarded as a- really strong man the type of a man to command and demand attention at the hands of the voters of Great Britain. Then . it would undoubtedly be sweet re venge for Lord Curzon to succeed Mr, Broderick, secretary of state for India, for It was the fact that Mr. Broderick aided with Lord Kitchener Instead of Lord Cur on which brought about the destruction ot the Influence of the Indian viceroy with the home government. May Rank Kitchener. Or Lord Curzon might choose the post of war minister in the United Kingdom thereby making himself Lord Kitchener' superior and forcing his idea upon India through the War office from London and through Lord Kitchener himself. The whirl igig of time has brought stranger revenges than that. One thing 1 certain, that Lord Curxon ha much to hope for at the hand of the liberal he ha little or nothing to hop for at the hand of ths conservatives H haa already been honored by a con servative administration in being mad viceroy ot India and being given the dl rection oi me poiuicai anair or a greater number of human beings than owa alleg. lane to any monarch living except th emperor of China. It la questionable whether In the eye of million and mil lions of people the position of premier 1 any greater than that of viceroy of India The gap between the two post I certainly not o great as mignt appear at first blush Lord Curzon know th game and he I ambitious. HI American wlf 1 ,B0 ambUiou to have him return to London and leav hi imprint on public affair there, and hi American father-in-law Mr. Leiter, 1 on record a aaylng that th youthful Lord Curxon I one of the ablest men of the time.

It 1 Impossible to think that a man with the trainings and the ambitions of Lord Cur xon wll be able to retire while in the prim of life from public life, especially if the return to England at tme when Great Britain haa becom a hotbed of Imperial politic. Political wiseacre may be dlxposed to discredit the Idea of Lord Curson asso ciating himself with th liberal, for he la an ardent Imperialist, and his was th policy which carried the British to Lhassa, and Lord Rose be ry has been constantly mid continually booming Lord Kitchener for minister of war.

C0L0R LmJ TRANSVAAL .earors Desire to Know atntns of Haee I nder Present Sys tem of Law. JOHANNKSBlRG. Sept. 2. (Special Ca blegram to The Bee.) The "color ques tion" Is causing no end of trouble to the ruling forces In the Transvaal. A deputa tion from a political organisation represent ing the colored population of the Transvaal waited upon Lord Solborne and laid before him certain grievances with respect to the eI.T :X.t:r i and other Important matters. Ixjrd Sel borne replied to the several points raised by the deputittion. He reminded it that the franchise, as It now existed, was the result of the terms of the Vereenlng delibero nolicy adopted afterwards. He i poln T that the nutlve and the col- o" ..ins were not a simple matter, as V inferred from the language of the .atlon, and that unless the real diffi- .ities and complications of the matter were recognized the country would not able to arrive at any solution of the prob lem. That the matter is one which will not down at bidding is evidenced by the fact that a deputation of the Wltwatersrand church council, representing the Presby terian, Wesleyan, Baptist and Congrega tional churches, also waited upon Lord Selborne and protested against the legisla tion tending to restrict the rights of the natives In the matter of land tenure. In the course of the Interview the depu tation raised the entire question of the status of the colored people. They declared that they took their stand on the principle of equal political rights for all the civilized people of South Africa and deprecated the imposition of any disabilities on civilized natives. They alleged that the latter had been disappointed In the expectations they had formed of British administration and referred to certain aspects of police admin istration of municipal regulations as press ing unjustly on the native population. Finally they claimed to represent the views of the moderate party, opposed to the ex- ereme negrophillsts at home as well as the extremists who oppose the negro In South Africa. Ixrd Selborne stated that he did not feel called upon to put forth any final views upon what was clearly the most Important question that the government has to con tend with in South Africa. With regard to the tenure of land by natives, however. the position taken by the government had been clearly stated by the attorney general. but In view of the desire expressed by the legislative council, that land purchased by natives should be registered In the name of the commissioner for native affairs, he thought that the government ought to ac cede to that request. No control, however. would be vested In the commissioner. He strongly deprecated the vague state ments which had been made regarding the prevalence of an Impression among the na tives that the British administration was less Just than the Boer government, and pointed out that it was the duty of every Individual, If an Instance came to his knowledge which might give color to such an insinuation, to report the matter to the authorities. ANOTHER SCANDAL fS BREWING British ISnvy Promise to Be tb "ob ject of Some Inplensant Revelations. LONDON, Sept. 2.-(Speclal Cablegram to The Bee.)-There are possibilities of an other scandal In connection with the se lection of a great naval headquarters sta tion. It Is said that a number of "Insiders" In army and navy circles are anticipating turning a pretty penny as the result of real estate speculations. But there is a hopeless division of opinion at the admiralty as to the plan for the new station at Royth outlined by Arthur Lee, M. P. Admiralty officials have ap parently been forced back to Kosyth by the pressure of public and parliamentary opin ion at a Juncture when it wa determined to abandon that scheme. To give It up would have created an extraordinary scan dal under the circumstances, especially In view of the high price already paid for the site. But many of the navy officer till i tuna iu uie Limimm iaea. mere 1 Still a powerful clique which alma at moving one of the admiral from Sheerness, which 1 hi proper place, and locating him at Chatham, where he can do nothing. An other proposition 1 to make a similar change of situation In respect of the Naval School of Gunnery. Some' very strong comments upon these amazing proposals have Just been printed In The Broad Arrow. Chatham, that Journal points out, Is some twenty-fle mile from the North Bea, the usual training ground for naval gunnery, and there 1 no place along the Mpdway where they could fire a gun. Chatham, as a dockyard for building ship and for re pairing them, may be reckoned, says The Board Arrow, as the best In the United Kingdom, but to gather a large number of hip and to keep them shut up in It baaln and dock would prove a very fatal mistake. I Mr. Arnold Forster, It appears, 1 still bent on carrying out hi proposal to move the headquarter of the engineer from Chatham to Tid worth and the School of Military Engineering to Cooper' Hill.

WILL BE SIGNED EARLY NEXT WEEK Probability that Ceremony Will Take Plaoe Monday ot Tuesday. PRESIDENT WILL' ENTERTAIN ENVOYS Delegations Will fie Gnestsof Chief Exectt tire at Luncheon on Separate Daya, LONG SESSION ON ISLAND'S DIVISION Talk Last 1 ntll Mldatnht and. Japan, After I.ona- Araument, Come to Term with the Russians. PORTSMOUTH. N. H , Sept. !.-The last point In dispute was arranged at a .meeting of the Russian and Japanese plenipoten tiaries, which ended at 11 o'clock tonight, and ft Is possible that the treaty may be signed Monday. As the plenipotentiaries emerged from M. Wit to' room, where the conference was held, Baron de Rosen wss asked If a final agreement had been reached. He did not answer. . "Will there be a meeting tomorrow' "No." he replied, "there Is no necessity for one, the clerks can do the rest." It Is now understood that the treaty will consist nf seventeen articles, preceded by a short preamble In which, It Is asserted on good authority, no allusion will be made to the action displayed by' President Roosevelt In bringing about the peace conference which led to the conclusion of the treaty. Sakhalin nt to Re Fortified. The treaty will not be engrossed by th two rallgraphera sent by the State depart ment. At the last moment It was decided to have attaches of the two missions per form this work. The article relating to tha non-fort itieat Ion of the Island of Sakhalin and a Perouso straits and the evacuation of Manchuria were settled; both parties binding themselves not to fortify the Island. La Perouse Is to be "open" and Japan ngrres not to erect works to command th strait. The article relating to the evacuation of Manchuria provides that the troops, Imme diately upon the exchange of final ratifica tions, are to be withdrawn respectively to the lines of Mukden and Harbin, and the number of "railroad guards" In ordinary tlmea Is limited, but provision Is made for the dispatch of troop for the protection of the line in case of disorders, in case they are withdrawn when their mission 1 fin ished. There are said to he four "annexe" to the treaty, covering matter which could not be elaborated In the treaty Itself. Conference Over Sakhalin The statement In the Associated Preaa last night that the erles of conferences which continued until almost midnight re in fed- to difference over th articl corning the division nf Sakhalin 1 fully confirmed. The Japanese at first were In clined to be obdurate, but an arrangement mutually satisfactory was provisionally agreed to, and It Is expected to be finally ratified by the chief plenipotentiaries dur Inz the day. The article relating to Sakhalin' will be In accordance with the original agreement a given in the Associated dispatches Tuesday night, namely, mutual obligation not to fortify Sakhalin and obligation of Japan not to fortify I Perouse strait. The only other question which remain to be solved is involved In the details of the evacuation of Manchuria. The troops are to be Imme diately withdrawn, the Japanese to th Una of Mukden and the Russians to Harbin. Tiie details of the subsequent withdrawal have not yet been arranged. Statua ot Strait. The Japanese desired that the word da- scribing the status of La Perouse straits should be "open," but the Russian wanted It distinctly specified that no fortification should be erected on Japan' side which could support a war fleet or under whose gun a fleet could operate. They did not want the situation to be similar to that of Gibraltar, which, although "open," could, if England desired, be Instantly closed. A to the evacuation of Man churia, the Japanese want the method and time of the withdrawal of the troop par ticularized and the number of the "rall roud guards" which are to remain speci fied in the bond. To permit this question to be left open would be equivalent to a tacit understanding that Russia waa tp retain it "sphere of InDvience" In north ern and Japan its in southern Manchuria. It would revive in a way the situation which existed before the war. The control of Manchuria might become a bone of contention leading eventually to another war. Th Interruption with communication with Japan may delay slightly th slgnlag of the treaty. The Associated Press can state definitely that no messages hava reached the Japanese plenipotentiary for four day and they are now proceeding un der their general Instructions. A cable has been received from the Japanese consul at Hong Kong aaylng that he could not tell when communication would be restored. The typhoon which Interrupted communica tion was very severe, but It was not known whether It affected both the land and sub marine line. Baron Komura ha not yet decided whether, upon the engrossment of th treaty, he will assume th responsibility of signing it without direct authorisation. If he does not, however, the delay would be only a matter of two or three day, a special steamer could go from Shanghai to Nagasaki In fifty hours. Th Japanese say the emperor' failure to send a message of thanks to President Roosevelt 1 undoubtedly du to th inter ruption of communication. Arrana for Meetlas; Envoy. OYSTER BAY, L. I..
