Significant Speech by the Premier of Norway. Christiania, Feb. 10.—In the sto thing L. Jlagerup, the Norwegian premier, wade a significant speech! announcing the failure of the negol | tionss between Sweden and Norway on the question of separate consular rep- ) resentation. Dr. Hagerup said that a most seri- situation was created. The people of Norway were animated by a desire | to coutinue the good understanding with uneighboring nations; but thel present conditions of the union are' indefensible and cannot continue with-} out endangering these relations. It was the duty, therefore, he said,} of the storthing to make an unrestrict- the assumption by Norway of the national and interna- tional position to which she is entitled| as a sovereign state and more iree! working forms of co-operation must be| considered if the existing bonds of| union between Sweden and Norwayi are to continue. it s WILL COMPROMISE DISPUTE.

This, together with' the settlement of the Syrian railways question, will, it is believed, satisty the French demands. Steamer Leif Erikssen Sunk in Col- lision at Sea.

Aldeny George P. Dewall HIGH®OFFICIALS CRITICISED. Russian Paper Prints Pessimistic Re e view of the War. St. Petersburg, Feb. 10.—M.

Souvorin declares the reason for the fall of Port Arthur before the 'com: plete e stion of its means of resist. ance was the death of Major General Kondiatenko, “who was the real herc of the defense of the fortress and whe filled both the civil and military mer with ¢ ve, while Lieutenant Gen- eral only manifested civil courage. Former eff and Baron Rosen, late Strikers Refuse Terms Offered. Loflz, Russian Poland, Feb. 19.—The general body of strikers did nof return to work during the day and the men do nol appear inclined to accept the manufaeturers’ terms. The outlook is by no means promising. END OF GERMAN COAL STRIiKE. Convention Votes' to Retur: to Work. Essen,” Feb. 10.—A convention of delegates representing the strikers of the entire Rhenish-Westphalian coal region has adopted -a resolution to re- turn to work. The resolution, which was proposed by the executive committee of seventy, was adopted with only five negative votes after five hours’ debate. The prevailing view of the leaders appears to be that the strikers man- aged their campaign in such a way as to win public opinion and government support. Besides the strikers had reached bigh water mark and could safely trust the government to pass a measure making several of the points compiained of illegal, such as not pay- ing for coal containing stones and shorteniug ‘the hours of labor first te nine and then to eight and a half in ordinary temperatures and to six in high temperatures. In addition the miners could strike again if they found the government’s law inadequate. Miners’ OREGON BANK ROBBED. Robbers Dynamite Vault and Secure - $9,000 in Coin. Lebanon, Ore., Feb. 10.—The Bank of Lebanon was hlown open during the night and robbed of almost $9,000 in coin and currency.’ One hundred bales of castala bari irom a nearby ware- house were used to deaden the sounu of the explosion. The door of the vault was blown completely off by a: charge of nitro- glycerin. All the cash in the vault ‘was taken. s Echo of Iroquois Disaster.

EXPECT EARLY BATTLE JAPANESE BELIEVE BIG ENGAGE: MENT WILL OCCUR BEFORE ' THE SPRING THAW. LARGE GUNS CONTINUE AT WORK RUSSIANS KEEP UP CONSTANT BOMBARDMENT_AL_.ONG THE SHAKHE RIVER. 5 "Tokio, Feb. 10.—The impression pre- vails here that the impending battle between thesarmies of Field Marshal Oyama and General Kuropatkin will occur before any material thaw takes place, which would convert the country | into a slushy bog and render the move- ment of guns, ammunition and stores impossible until the roads hardened. A report from Manchurian head- quarters says that the Russians have continued their bombardment in, the direction of the Shakhe river since the night of Feb. 7. They continue in- trenching in front of Liuchenpao and in the vicinity of Heikoutai. PRESIDENT URGED TO ACT HEAD OF PEACE CONGRESS ASKS ROOSEVELT TO TRY AND END EASTERN WAR. ‘Washington, Feb. 10.— President Roosevelt has been urged to take some action looking to the termination of the Russo-Japanese war. The request was made by the Interparliamentary union, through the president of the or- ganization, Representative Bartholdt of Missouri. Dr. Bartholdt explained to the president that the consensus of opinion among the members of the un- jon and among Kuropean parliamen- tarians with woom he 1s in correspond- ence was that the president ‘or tne United States was the one man, with the possibie exception of the emperor ol Germauy, who indicated no disposi- tion to uy to bring the war o an end, WO might bevalslencd (o on; tidg. sup- ject with tavor by Russ Dr. Bar- tholdt pomted out that, although kKus- sia had let it be understood ‘that any offer of mediation from whatever source would be not only unwelcome but would be regarded as an unfriend- ly act, such an attitude was in viola- tion of the plain stipulations of The Hague convention, of which Russia was not only a party but of which the czar was the moving power. The president gave Dr. Bartholdt no defi- nite assurances beyond promising to consider the matter with = Secretary Hay. It is known to be quite unlikely that this government will take any definite action looking to mediation until some assurances have been received from both pariies to the pending coniict that such action would not be unwel- come. IS EFFECTIVE. Entrance to Vladivostok Patrolled by Japanese. Tok Feb. 10.—kntry to Vladwos— tok from the sea is now limited to Tsushima straits and Tsugaru straits. The Soya straits are barred by ice. Reports received here trom Hokkaido also irom coasting vessels say straits are not irozen over, but iilled with fioes and bergs, making navigation practically impossible. To further increase the difiiculty of reach- ing Vladivostok the Japanese: govern- ment announces that the lighthouses in the vicinity of Tsugaru straits will not be lighted except occasionally. The ofiicial announcement says this decision was necessary for strategic reasons and warns coasting.and neu- tral navigators that in passing Tsu- garu stralis they must exercise the greatest care. The Japanese continue to patrol Tsushima and Tsugaru straits and it is believed that the blockade of Viadivostok is effective. It was report- ed {rom Vladivostok under date of Feb. 1 that the Russian armored. cruis- ers Rossia and Gromoboi had been re- paired, but it is doubted whether they will emerge from the harbor on ac- count of the extensive seizures by the Japanese of coal laden ships bound for Vladivostok. BLOCKADE May Supersede Kuropatkin. Berlin, Feb, 10.—The Lokal Anzeiger says it-learns that Grand Duke Nich- olas Nicholaievitch will in a few days be sent ta Manchuria either to relieve Geueral Kuropatkin or be viceroy and that Kuropatkin will have to report to him. Prince Leopold of Prussia, lt is added, will go with him, To Arrange Another Loan. Tokio, Feb. 10.—Vice President Ta- kahira of the Bank of Japan will leave for America and England, via Vancou- ver, on Feb. 17 to hold preliminary conferences with financiers of those countries regarding terms of a fourth domestic loan. Gaptured Steamer Condemned. - Nagasaki, Feb. 10.—The British steamer Wyefield, captured by the Japanese off Hokkaido Jan. 30 loaded with contraband for Vladivostok, and HOUSE PASSES ESCH-TOWNSEND BILL FOR REGULATION OF RAILROAD RATES. DEMOCRATIC SUBSTITUTE DEFEATED MEASURE FAVORED BY THE MI- NORITY KILLED BY DECI- SIVE MAJORITY. ‘Washington, Feb. 10.—By a vote of 326 yeas to 17 nays the house has passed the Esch-Townsend bill extend- ing authority to the interstate com- 1 merce commission to fix railroad rates. The Davey bill, the Democratic sub- stitute for railroad rate legislation, was defeated, 151 yeas to 186 nays. Less than twenty-five members were in their seats when the last day’s de- bate on the bill was opened by Mr. Pierce (Tenn.), who, after ammouncing that the president, on the subject or rate legislation, was the greatest lead- er that has lived in the Republican, ranks since the Civil war, said he would support the Esch-Townsend bill. He, however, based his support upon the fact that William J. Bryan and the Democratic ‘party. had declared for such legislation. Mr. De Armond (Mo.), while admit- ting the necessity for legislation, at- tacked the Esch-Townsend vill as be- ing an inadequate treatment of the question. The bill, he said, was sin- gularly lacking in its compliance with Recommendations of the President. It did not reach private car lines and it was not to be supposed that the courts would be eager and “searching in the endeavor to find in it something on .that subject which its authors themselves could not find. Mr. Crumpacker (Ind.) said he would ungrudgingly support the ma- Jjority measure, because the power to regulate railroad companies always had been recognized, the question now being simply one of policy. The closing remarks for the minor- ity were made by Mr. Williams (Miss.), who at the outset congratu- lated the house npon the fact that not only in the matter of rate legislation but in several other particulars Presi- | dent RRoosevelt, “nominated by the Re- publican party and elscted by the peo- ple,” wag beginning to assume a dis- tinctly Democratic attitude. He said he had begun to hope that the presi- dent would recommend revision of the tariff and that the president would see ihat it was altogether absurd to keep 20,000 more soldiers (han were needed. ACCUSER IS EXPELLED. Representative Comerford Ousted "by Illinois Legistature. Springfield, IIl., Feb. 10.—Frank D. Comerford, a representative from the Second senatorial district of Cook county, has been:expelled as a member of that body. His expulsion was the ciimax of a series of sensational charges of corruption and attempted bribery made by Mr. Comerford against members of the Illinois legis- lature, which were investigated by a special committee of the house and found utterly unfounded. Jefterson City, Mo., Feb. 10.—The Missouri house of representatives has adopted a resolution, introduced by Represefitative J. T. Muir of Lewis county, endorsing the action of the lower house of the Illinois legislature In expelling Representative Frank D. Comerford. AVMENDMENTS OBJECTIONABLE. Not Believed Senate Will Ratify Ar- kitration Treaties. - Washington, Feb. 10.—It is under- stood that the president will make no move in the matter of disposing of the arbitration treaties now pending be- fore the senate, notwithstanding the action of the senate committee on for- eign relations in amending these trea- ties in a manner to make them objec- tionable to the administration. 1t is felt that so little time remains- be- tween now and the 4th of March that there is but slight prospect of action by the senate upon the committee’s re- port and besides there is no certainty that the senate itself will approve the committee amendments, so the belief prevails that the conventions are doomed to expire without action. SEEK PENSION LEGISLATION. “Grand Army Leaders Ask President's Aid in Passing Bills, ‘Washington, Feb. 10.—General W. W. Blackmar, commander-inchief of the Grand Army of the Republic; John E. Gilman, adjutant general of the same organization, and William M. Olin, secretary of state of Massachu- setts, were presented to the president by Senntor Lodge. They are here in the interest of pension legislation the infiuence of the president in favor of it.
