THE CRISIS IN NORWAY.
Struggle Which Involves the Existence
of King Oscars Government.

of King Oscars Government
Cable Special, 18th.
The nature of the grave constitu tional
struggle which has been in progress in Nor
way attracts little general attention, but its
solution involves the very existence of King
Oscars government, and may cause separa-
ton between Sweden and Norway. Ever
since the union of the two countries, in 1914,
the official class has formed a bureaucracy
which has been in close union with the
crown and resisted every attempt to give the
people any real part in the government The
peasants of the liberal party for many years
have had strong majority III the Storthing,
but the King refused to appoint liberal
ministry The last one named was more re-
dictionary than ever. The Storthing for
three successive years passed law admit
ting the ministers to seats in the
Parliament but the King refused to promul-
gate the law, and the ministers did not take
their seats. Now they are to have an i'm
parchment trial. A large number of the lib
eral represen tatiVeS are republicans, and
would undoubtedly, if they consulted their
own predictions, abolish the monarchy and
establish a republic A republican rising
en- masse against the union with Sweden I'M
der King Oscar followed by declaration of
a Norwegian republic, is openly discussed.
The impeachment OF the ministers was
finally determined upon in April, by vote of
So to 90, in the upper house of the Storthing.
There is provision in the Norwegian consti-
tuition that if three fferent Storthipgs, the
members ia which sit for three years, adhere
to proposal without alteration, it is to be
law, even if the King refuses his sanction.
The Storthins endeavored to obtain its way
by means of this provision. The bill for
making the ministers responsible was three
times passed; the King refused
his sanction, and struggle arose
more fierce than any before. and on quite
new and different ground. the nature of the
kings veto. The general opinion, even
among conservatives outside of the small fac
ton of the intransigents of the extreme
right, is that it was deplorable mistake not
to acuuiesce in the will of the people on this
occasion, and the general indignation found

AHeavy Damage Suit Compromised.

new lork special.
Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, has been in
the East for a week or ten days past prose-
cutting damage suit against the New Jersey
Central Railroad Company for an accident
which occurred last summer at Parker's
Creek, n. j., resulting in the death of a man
named Bradley. The relatives of the victim
instituted a suit against the railroad compa-
ny, claiming $780, 900 damages, and retained
Mr. Voorhees, as their counsel. On Wednes-
day last, the day the case was to have been
called for trial at Elizabeth, N. j., the coun-
sci for each side met and effected a compro
mise, the railroad company agreeing to pay
Mr.. Voorhees, clients $4,000. This is said
to be the largest sum which has ever
been recovered from railroad company for
the loss of life in an accident. A son of
Commodore Garrison lost his life in the
same accident which is also the same one in
which General Grant had such narrow
escape. A suit was instituted by young
Garrison's widow for damages, she being
represented by Judge Dillon and General
Swayne, of New York who also recently &C.
cepted compromise of $10,500.

Stanley Describes His Latest Discoveries
Hinder the Equator

Under the Equator.
Boston, Oct. S-A letter from Henry NJ.
Stanley, dated July a. at Stanley Pool,
Congo river, is received by personal friend
in this city. With regard to his sudden de-
parture from Europe, he explains the cause
as being sensational and exaggerated tele-
gram, printed in the English paper, to the
effect that one of the stations had been at
tackled and the chief of the expedition paddy
wounded. The chief, who was heartily dis
liked, was shot in the arm, d7but no
station was attacked The station was par
tally broken up by the ambition of the
younger men of the party, each of whom
desired to succeed the chief. Stanly thinks
the station can be supplied with native help,
the number of steamers and boats increased,
and altogether he considers everything more
favorable. At Leopoldville there are TWO
missions, Baptist and the Livingston
Congo mission, and already they look quite
imposing in buildings Stanley says: ''Since
l arrived on the Congo last December, 1
have been up as far as the Equator, and have
established two more stations, and, besides,
discovering another lake, Mantaniba, have
explored for hundred miles, or thereabouts,
a river known on my map as the Welemben,
but which is the Maindua. 1t Is
not as large as stated in my
book, but about the size of the
Arkansas-deep, broad and navigable-a big
stream. which l expect must drain the long
est part of South Congo The basin
must be somewhat higher up. Having become
better acquainted with the coun-
try, am really struck with the
dense population of the greater part
of the basin, which, if it were
uniform throughout, would give 100000.
The number of products and character of the
people are likewise remarkable. Gums rub
Der ivory, camphor wood and host of
other things will repay transportation, even
by the very expensive mode at present in
use. The people are born traders and are,
for Africans, very enterprising ana indus
trious."

Memphis Has Another Visitation, Which
Takes GreenIaw's Opera-House.
MEMPHIS, Oct. S.-Memphis was again
visited tonight by another destructive fire,
which originated in Cole & Co.'s oil, paint,
and 80 Union street, between Maine and
Second. The inhammable material kept IN
stock burned with such fierceness that the
fremen were unable to confpe the fire to the
building where it originated, and Greenlaws
Opera-house, to the east and only
separated from the burning building
by a small alley-way, was ignited,
and together with Cole & Co.'s
store completely destroyed At one time
all the stores on Union street west of the
fire were threatened with destruction, to-
gether with the block fronting Main street
south of Union, but the fire wall to the west

but the. following is fair estimate: Cole &
Co.'S loss on stock, $4,000, insurance about
$40 900, equally divided in home and foreign
companies; building No. 80 Union street,
owned jointly by the Peoples Insurance
Company, and the estate of ]. o. Greenlaw

ing No. 81, owned by Mrs. S. E. Greenlaw,
same value, amount of insurance unknown
The Greenlaw Opera-house was owned
by G. B. Peters and the Peoples Insuranc
Company. George B. Peters also owned the
two stores in the north portion of the mas
sive structure. The two south stores were
owned by Campbell Wallace, of Atlanta Ga.
The loss to the opera-house building is about
$50, 900; insurance not known, but is light.
The Mozart Society occupied the second and
third stories in the northern portion of the
building, and lost two fine pianos and other
ARTICLES of value, but are fully insured.
Cole & Co. used one of the stores for a lum-
Der room, where were stored a large stock of
blinds and sash, which were destroyed. Jack
Walsh, undertaken, occupied another store,
but nearly all his stock was removed. The
two stores in the south wing, occupied by the
Memphis Lumber and Manufacturing Com
pany, escaped but serious loss was sustained
by removing the stock. The fire created in
tense excitement, and drew nearly the
entire population to the scene
of the confagration. The 6remen

falling on all sides Hllsland q Co., whole
