While still talking Mr. Shea was served with a legal pa- per demanding his presence in a court i In the neighboring county in a “Pan- handle railroad case,” he said. The leader of the teamsters accepted serv- ice and started at once for Wheaton. Previous to the departure of Shea a committee of the Department. Store union had reopened negotia- tions with department store employ- ers looking to another general confer- ence with representatives of the Em- ployers’ association. Attorney ILevy Mayer had given his positive assur- ance that he was ready to meet a committee of teamsters any time it had a proposition to offer, so that when the strike shall have been end- ed no striker - might say that the drivers were refused a conferenge. Warlike reports continue to come | from the team owners, but W. P. Rend is almost the only employer in the association who is definitely known to be disposed to break the period of neutrality and “go it alone.” The malter requiring the presence of President Shea at Wheaton had no bearing upon the teamsters’ strike. He was said to have been asked to identiy a document signed by B. V. Debs in connection with the American Railway union strike of 1894, Shea ; declared that he counld not supply the required identification. REPORT IS SCATHING. Findings of Illinois Mining Board in ¢ Zeigler Disaster. Springtield, 111, June 10.— Sup- pressed for weeks the report of the state mining board on the Zeigler mine catastrophe finally has reached the public in a roundabout way.

For three days the air compressure had been depended upon for the whole air supply of the mine. REV. F. ;'. JOHNSON SELECTED. Protestant Episcopal Coadjutor Bishop of South Dakota.

Tia Crosse, Wis,, June 10.—The Mis- ;sissippi river is rising more rapidly than ever known before. It is now only a foot below the danger point and a large section of La Crosse, particu- larly in the factory district, is flooded. The weather observer has sent oub warnings to look for the highest water jof the year and perishable property is being removed to places of safety. The cities alonig the Wisconsin river are under more water than since the high water began. At Grand Rapids, Wis., the river has risen two feet a day for three days and is 2.6 feet above the danger line. All the factories at Grand Rapids and vicinity have been closed and conditions all portend a very dangerous floed &t that point.

NORWAY'S SECESSION THE CAUSE PREMIER OF SWEDEN DECLARES - ACTION OF STORTHING. REV- OLUTIONARY. Stockholm, June' 10.—King Oscar decided at a meeting of the council during the day to summon the riks- dag for an extraordinagy session June 30. The crown prince was present at the sitting, which had before it the resolution of the Nqrwegian storthing, which the premier denounced as revo- lutionary. ' “By this revolutionary proceeding® said the premier, “the storthing has not only without the co-operation of the king but without the least consid- eration of Sweden and on its own au- thority determined upon the rupture of the union which existed by virtue of a~mutual convention drawn up in accordamce with the laws and ‘which can in no way be broken without the assent of the two countries. Inas- much as the resolution of the storthing is a great and profound violation of the rights.of Sweden it is indisput- ably necessary that the riksdag should be summoned in extraordinary session without delay to deliberate on the measures to be taken by Sweden in view of what has passed.” The resignations of the ministers of Sweden’ and Norway at Copenhagen, Rome and Madrid were tendered by telegraph and nccepted UNIOK FLAG HAULED DOWN NORWEGIAN TRICOLOR HOISTED AS EMBLEM OF THE NEW GOVERNMENT. Christiania, June 10—~The Norwe- glan tricolor was hoisted. during the day over Akershus fort and through- out the country in place of the union flag. The substitution was attended by great ceremony at the fort, where the members of the storthing and 30,000 people were assembled. The garrison was paraded in front of the quarters of the commandant of the fort, who read the resolution of the storthing dissolving the union with Sweden. As the clock in the tower of the fort chimed 10 the union flag which had floated there since 1814 was hauled down, the troops presented arms, the band played the patriotic air, “Sons of Norway,” and*after only a mo- mentary interim the first gun of a national salute hoomed, the new flag ‘was broken out and the troops again presented arms. The people then un- covered and cheered wildly, the band adding’ to the general enthusiasm by playing the popular air, “Yes, We Love This Country.” First one and then another took up the words of the song until the whole crowd joined in, after which rotind after round of cheering again greeted for the Fatherland and the singing of the national anthem conclnded the ceremony. The government of Norway and the storthing continue to receive from all parts of the country expressions of gratitude for their action and the com- munal authorities are voting addresses approving of the new regime. The department of commerce has furnished all the consuls general with copies of the storthing resolution and Yas invited them to notify their re- spective: government of the dissolution of the union. CZAR THANKS ROJESTVENSKY. Peculiar Wording of Message Attracts Attention. St. Petersburg, June 10.—Emperor Nicholas has cabled the following mes- sage to Admiral Rojestvensky: “Krom my heart I thank you and all the officers of the squadron who have honorably done their duty and for your unselfish work for Russia and for me. By the will of the Al- mighty success was not destined to Crown your endenvors but your bound-_ less bravery will’always be a source of pride to the country. “I wish you a speedy recovery. May Cod console you all.” The peculiar wording of the message is attracting attention. - The restric- tion of the emperor’s thanks to those honorably doing their duty is fanning the ugly talk regarding the surrender of ships and the conduct of some of The messages of Admiral #nquist- and Captain Chagin of the Russian cruiser Almaz did not contain eny intimation of misbehavior on the part of the officers or crews. .

DEFECTIVE BOTH COUNTRIES ARE ~ READY FOR PEACE AFFIHMS DEATH SENTENCE "Russia and Japan Have Accepted Presi- dent’s Offer and Meeting of Peace NEW YORK COURT OF APPEALS /s REFUSES NEW TRIAL TO AL- BERT T. PATRICK. Albany, N. Y., June 10—The court of appeals has, by a vote of 4 to 3, sustained the lower courts in adjudg- ing Albert T. Patrick, the New York lawyer, guilty of murder in the first degree, in causing the death of Will- iam Marsh Rice, an aged millionaire, formerly a resident.of Texas. On April 7, 1902, Patrick was con- victed on an indictment charging him with the murder of Rice by chloroform and mercury ddministered to him dur- ing his sickness on Sept. 23, 1900. The :case reached the court of ap- peals on March 14 of this year, when David B. Hill, who appeared for the appellant, based his argument for a reversal mainly on the contention that the condition of Rice’s body revealed by the postmortem examination might have been caused by fuids used.in embalming. Patrick has succee’cd in rostpon- ing the ultimate decision of his fate for over threg years by a display of acumen and resourcefulness that has excited the wonder of the members of the bar and the public at large.

St. Petersburg, June 10.—Ambassa- dor Meyer was in constant communi- catlon with Washington during the | morning. He received a long cipher dispatch and soon afterwards. hurried to the foreign ofiice, where he had half an hour’s carnest conversation ‘with Foreign Minister Lamsdorff con- cerning the information transmitted to him.

St. Petersburg, June 10.—The gov- ernment is plainly preparing the pub- lic for the announcement that. the emperor has decided to conclude peace and that the negotiations have begun by permitiing the publication of all the forcign dispatches bearing on the subject. 'I'he newspapers and the Rus- sian public, however, have until now only had a suspicion that important moves were going on behind- the scenes, in well informed circles it is be- ed Iield Marshal Oyama to stay his hand pending the result of the present tentalive mnegotiations and that Gen- eral Linevitch also has been- confiden- tially advised of the situation. Never- theiess, the irreconcilable remnants of the war party are helieved to be urg- ing the Russian commander-in-chief to assume the offensive in the hope of achieving a victory and thus change the emperor’s present disposition in favor of the conclusion of hostilities. If such an intrigue is in progress it has no chance of success. It can be assuméd that there will be no further bloodshed in Manchuria until the bel- ligerents have decided whether it is now possible to agree on peace terms. Wise Move of Government. The government in the present emer- gency is acting with great wisdom. It is preparing to time the proclama- tion of a national assembly with the i announcement that peace negotiations lieved that Jaran already has instruct-} have begun. = Evidence accumulates that President Roosevelt’s efforts in behalf of peace bhave been supported by practically every luropean power by the trans- mission through their representa- tives at (he belligerents’ respective capitals that it is the solemn coavic- tion of their respective governments that the time has arrived for the war- ring countries to conclude peace. The president’s endeavors seem lim- ited to bringing the plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan together to ar- range the preliminary terms for the conclusion of a limited armistice and the selection of a place for the future negotiations and the plenipotentiaries, 'in the opinion of the diplomats, will make the next move, as it is not be- lieved Japan will divulge. her terms until the plenipotentiaries meet. The ambassador of one of the great Euro- pean powers expressed the opinion to the Associated Press that the ex- changes would not occur either at . Washington or at any European cap- ital but upon the battlefield in Man- churia.

RUSSIAN SHIPS INTERNED. Failed to Leave Manila Within Re- quired Time. Washington, June 10.—Secretary Paft has received the following cable- gram from Governor Wright, at Ma- nila: “Russian warships did not leave harbor within the required twenty- four hours; as a result are now in cus- tedy of Admiral Train, who informs me he has taken necessary steps to intern them. They are now behind breakwater under the guns of the Ohio and Monadnock. He will disable their machinery and remove breechblocks on guns. He has doubtless reported full details to the navy department.” Rear Admiral Train has reported to the navy department that the Russian ships at Manila have been interned. In addition to the information con- veyed in Governor Wright's cable- gram Rear Admiral Train, said ‘that the coal supply of the ships has been limited and that the officers and men ‘were paroled upon condition that they take no further part in the war.

FRENCH GFFIGIALS AROUSED GERMANY’S NOTE REGARDING MOROCCO RENEWS GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION. ~ Paris, June 10.—Germany’s note to the powers proposing an international conference on the subject of Morocco is regarded in the highest quarters as renewing the gravity of the situation almost (o the point of making it men- acing. France has received a copy of the note showing that Germany acted openly in appealing to the powers, not- withstanding the official statement from Berlin that Morocco invites the conference. The officials here inter- pret the German note as showing that Germany is the real upholder of the conference. The text of the note shows that Germany relies mainly on article 17 of the treaty of Madrid, signed July 3, 1880, in which General Lucius Fairchild signed for the Ynited States. Article 17 recites that Moroc- co recognizes the most favored nation treatment in the case of all the pow- ers represented at the conference. The German note holds that this gives the powers equal rights to consider the affairs of Morocce. The French answer is as follows: Article 17 refers to the preceding articles, which deal solely with the protection of the lives and property of foreigners residing in Morocco. Therefore article 17 gives the powers equal treatment concerning the pro- tection of lives and property, but does not warrant the German claim that the powers agreed to exercise equal Dpolitical control of Morocco. It is desired that Washington and other capitals recéiving the German note observe the limited application of article 17. TO BE USED AS FUEL. Mankato Company Will Manufacture Peat Bricquettes. Mankato, Minn., June 10.—The Man- kato Peat Fuel company has been or- ganized with a capital of $150,000, with W. J. Morehart, Charles J. Mac- Beth, George W. Bunce and C. N.
