} —4 Herald: Review. By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. Prince Henry of Prussia thinks of coming to America again. Can- you biame him? The man who denies that “woman” spells “angel” doesn’t deserve the hap- piness of being married. Two of the Carnegie medal winners were of the fair sex. Can a lady prop- erly be spoken of as a “hero”? Mr. Alfred Austin says there are no great women poets, but saying “You're another!” is no argument. The Boston Transcript is offering “Good Advice to Graduates.” For cold blooded presumption this wins the prize. ‘The scientists have accomplished a good deal, but they have not produced an onion with the fragrance of a bed of mint. Somebody in France has found out how to make cloth out of wood. Still, the wooden overcoat has been heard of for ages. If Robert Fulton had known Skip- per Barr he probably would not have considered it worth while to invent the steamboat. The Boston Globe wants to know when the great American novel will be written. Great James! Isn’t Bos- ton going tp write it? A Cincinnati man has married the Princess Pickhoff. American heiresses regard it as unfortunate’ that he must remain plain “Mr.” ight of the nine Carnegie medals were awarded for rescues of drowning persons. Those who aspire to be rec- ognized as heroes should learn to swim. Grafting has always been a_ risky business, particularly when accompa- nied by lying, from the days of Ana- rias and Sapphira down to the pres- ent time. Princess Cecilia wore a train four- teen feet long when she was married, but although there was a large crowd present everybody was careful not to etep on it. Count Boni De Castellane is report- ed to be anxious to become President of France. We take it for granted that he has no intention of running on the labor ticket. Mme. Patti’s castle in Wales is an- nounced to be sold at a price “regard- less of cost or of associations.” That’s the way the ordinary man usually has to sell his house. King Peter of Servia is probably the only monarch who isn’t paying close attention to. King Oscar’s troubles. King Peter, as everybody knows, has troubles of his own. According to Henry Clews, there:are four men in this country who are worth one thousand million dollars. That is to say, they have one thou- sand milliop dollars. A Pittsburg man has sent Togo a box of stogies as a token of friend- ship’ and admiration. It may be a lu thing for Japan that Togo has lready done his duty. It seems there is a dispute between Canada and Uruguay. A clash between these powers might shake this plan- et’s trolley off, and it is hoped serious trouble will be averted. A It is to be feared that Philadelphia got good too quick to remain good very long. A more extended experi- ence at the “mourners’ bench” prob- ably would have been better. The San Francisco Chronicle re- joices that the untitled American can go to Paris without the risk of being blown up by a bomb, Hardly. It is usually the innocent bystander who gets hurt. Nan Patterson's fame is not of the jucrative sort. She was offered large pay to go on the stage; at least, it was reported that way; but the peo- D n't come out. Her career is not fascinating.

This ought to be encouraging to many young men in society. “When did you last see your com- netitors?” was shouted to the At, jlantic, and Mr. Marshall shouted back: “Off Sandy Hook!” In the emperor’s cup race, as in the first race for the America cup, there was no second. Dne of the diverting scientists sug- gests that there should be laws mak- ing it impossible for any but hand- some men and beautiful women to marry. Such a law might be a good think. It would cause a great rush for marriage licenses: 1 TAKE UP ARMS — AGAINST NORWAY SWEDISH SOLONS URGE THAT FORCIBLE MEASURES BE EM- PLOYED. SWEDEN TO DICTATE TERMS UNLESS NORWAY ACCEPTS THEM PEACEFUL SOLUTION IS IM- POSSIBLE. NO BERNADOTTE FOR NORWAY OSCAR WILL NOT CONSENT UNLESS THE RIKSDAG WILLS IT. Stockholm, June 28—Unless Norway shall submit to conditions precedent to dissolution to be dictated by Sweden, war between the two Scandinavian countries will be inevitable, if senti- ments expressed in the riksdag yester- day correctly reflect the situation. Both houses of the riksdag elected extraordinary committees to which was referred the government bill look- ing to a settlement with Norway. The debates on the secession of Nor- way brought out fiery speeches, in which the action of the Norwegian storthing was condemned and the Swedish cabinet severely criticised. No Bernadotte for Norway. King Osear has directed the court marshal to issue the following state- ment regarding the rumor that his majesty would ‘be willing to place a prince of the house of Bernadotte on the throne of Norway: “The king does not approve the idea and will not consent thereto. The only condition under which his majesty could reconsider this decision would pe the unexpected expressién of the wish of the riksdag that a prince of the house of Bernadotte should ascend the Norwegian throne.” No Hope of Peaceful Solution. The tenor of the speeches through- out the debate in both houses leaves the impression that the majority of the speakers were of the opinion that a peaceful solution of the matter was extremely improbable. In the senate, Judge C. A. Berg, who initiated the debate, said: “We must not use force to sustain the union, which is valueless to us under existing conditions, but the riksdag does not recognize the illegal and revolutionary breach of the union and does not rec- ognize Norway as a sovereign state. Sweden's representatives must consi er Sweden's safety and this can onl be done through a cabinet having the pull confidence of the riksdag.” Makes Spirited Protest. Herr Hammarskjold said that the ac- tion of the Norwegian storthing was revolutionary. Sweden, he said, had received a blow in the face which had awakened the people from their leth- argy and they demanded different ac- tion from that taken by the cabinet. The people were dissatisfied with the cabinet’s wavering proposals. It was unworthy of Sweden to com- mence negotiations with revolution- ists, and parliament and the cabinet should propose conditions which Swed- en would accept, telling Norway that as she had broken away from the union, Sweden would be willing to separate, but that Norway must agree to Sweden’s conditions. War the Alternative. If Norway did not accept, then Swed- en should enforce her conditions by war. The speaker said he preferred war to the sacrifice of Sweden’s horor, Pardom Walstrom, speaking in the house, said: “Tam against war, but it may have to come as a last resort. Norway's action amounts to revolution and should be treated as a deadly insult to Sweden. The government's proposi- tion opens up the probability of war. Its weakness lies in the fact that Nor- way, having broken the union, is liable to break treaties.” Baron Kennedy, in the ‘senate, said he opposed the idea of a conference with the rebellious storthing. Sweden must enforce her conditions and put behind the king all the resources of the country in order to protect Swed- en’s interests, by war if necessary. Premier Against War. Premier Ramstedt, in concluding the debate, said: |, “The object of war would be to com- pel Norway to retrace its action, but anger must not blind us to our own interests, and our interests are against forcing Norway into any kind of union. A conquered Norway, while of no ad- vantage, would forever be a source of danger. Add to this the horrors of war and their enfeebling results—all arguments against the employment of force.” BIG CO-OPERATIVE SCHEME. Will Be Tried by Enthusiasts in Ore- gon. Portland, Or., June 28.—-A co-opera- tive experiment of a magnitude hither- to untried is to be attempted in this state. The enterprise is known as the “Co-operative Christian Federation,” with a capital of $50,000,000. The ob- jects of the federation are to buy and sell land, build railroads, operate fac- tories, mills and dairies in Oregon, to. be owned and operated on the co-ope- rative pian. ‘| men were _ not be filed for several dav. Bs FRIEN aha INSISTENT ceive France on Mo ‘Question. Paris, June 28.—Germany’s reply to the French note on the subject of Mo- rocco was presented during a confer- ence between Prince Radolin, the Ger- man ambassador, gnd Premier Rou- vier. While most friendly in form and entirely lacking a peremptory tone, Germany's response none the less maintains the position that the Mo- roccan question must be regulated by a conference of the powers without any agreement in advance limiting the scope of such conference. This was fccompanied by the presentation of Germany’s general point of view in such an amicable spirit as to disarm the suspicion ‘entertained concerning Germany's ulterior motives. It is thought that Premier Rouvier will be prejared to terminate the controversy either by accepting the conference or submitting counter proposals. Is Germany's. NO TESTIMONY BY MITCHELL, Aged Senator Does Not Take Stand in His Own Behalf. Portland, Or., June 28. — United States Senator John H. Mitchell did not bear testimony for himself in his struggle for honor and, perhaps, for liberty, in the land fraud cases. The long trial practically has come to a close. The court room was crowded yesterday when the session opened, many being drawn by the rumor that the aged senator would take the stand and by his own words attempt to dis- prove the testimony of his former part- ner, Judge A, H. Tanner, and of his former private secretary, Harry C. Robertson. But all these were disap- pointed and surprised when the case for the defense was closed within an hour after the court had been called to order. SELL BLACK HILLS TIMBER, Uncle Sam to- Offer 50,000,000, Feet That Is Wormeaten. Washington, June 28.—Fifty million feet of timber on the Black Hills re- serve in South Dakota will be sold un- der regulations of the bureau of for- estry. The timber is to be disposed of for the reason that it is wormeaten and if permitted to stand will become valueless. Under the law the timber must be sold within the state. It will be cut under regulations - similar to those governing on the Indian réserva- tions in Minnesota. Purchasers will be required to burn off all the brusb. They will be permitted to erect milis on the reserve for the purpose of cut- ting the timber.

St. Petersburg, June 28. — A rumor spread throughout the city last night that Gen. Kiropatkin had been killed.

CHILD IS TRIED. ‘Fourteen-Year-Old Girl on Trial for} STORMY SESSION WITH TAFT Alleged Murder of Youth. Wheaton, Minn., June 28.—The jury which is to try fourteen-year-old An- tonette Seidensticker for the alleged murder of her sweetheart, Herman Shipp, was completed yesterday. Thé large court room was well filled when the case was called.. ‘The accused, a little sad-eyed girl less than fourfeen years old, has been indicted by the grand jury for the crime of murder in the first degree for the alleged shoot- ing and killing of her lover, Herman Shipp, on May 25 last, at a farm about four miles south of Wheaton. Since her recovery from her self-inflicted wounds, the girl seems to have no dis- tince recollection of the tragedy. the canal commission, the other from LT, ARLE BREST friends of Mr. Wallace. The first that MISSING LAWYER ON FARM, was current is to the effect that the resignation of Mr. Wallace was re- quested hecause of differences between the chief engineer, members of the commission, Secretary Taft, and through the latter with President Roosevelt. The other deals with the department red tape and Hampering Executive Orders, which have led Mr. Wallace to accept a position of as great importance as the head of a great railroad sustem. This latter version, contradicts the assertion that his resignation was de- manded, or that he was recalled to this country, and sets forth that he came at his own request, and an- nounced to Mr. Taft at the Hotel Man- hattan last Sunday morning his inten- tion of dropping the canal work. Accounts agree that the conference was stormy after Mr. Wallace had an- nounced his reasons for coming. Mr. Taft, it is siad, lost his temper and made certain remarks which Mr. Wallace was inclined to resent. Must Cut Red Tape. The discussion thereafter was frank and open, Mr. Wallace telling Mr. Taft that if they wanted the canal dug right they must change their present system of management and supervision by placing one strong man at the head of the work, allow him to come and go as he chose, cut away the red tape that binds everything, apply ordinary busi- Twenty-Six Indictments Drawn at Mil-| ness methods and hold him responsi- waukee. ble.

Mem- bers of the comn jon yesterday did not hesitate to say that his resignation would greatly embarrass the commis- sion in its work. Secretary Taft is stated to have been really the only per- son who had an inkling of Mr. Wal- lace’s intentions. That the secretary held strong views on the subject was known to several of his friends, and it is expected that there may yet be some interestin developments before the of- ficial] resignation is announced by the government.
