Little doubt is entertained among the Radicals
that the Swedish Government influenced by the
of the Steen people, ordered the commission
to report it did, in the hope that such n con-
cession would put end to further demands from
the Norwegian Left. But Steen. his colleagues
and adherents welcome the concession, because
they believe that it will facilitate the rest of their
party programme Naturally they look upon an
independent consular system as stepping stone
to an independent diplomatic system and an in
dependent Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Those
demands obtained, little remains Of the Union
The Swedes do not pretend to say that their
mercantile interests compare with those Of this
country. While Sweden has 3,s44 merchantmen,
amounting, all told, TO 100000 tons, Norway has
1888 such vessels, with 1,5Sf,S3S tons burden,
and $50 steamships with 1852 tons burden
The navy is not so unequally divided, as Sweden
possesses, according to the year book of 1880,
60 war vessels with las cannon, while the Nor
wegans have SIS vessels and 10 cannon The

The proposed amendment TO the constitution. cs-
tablishing an independent Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, will be of the first questions sub
mitted to the new Storthing. There Ia little
doubt that it will be carried by large majority.
Since the personal union was formed in 1914
there has naturally been only one Ministry Of
Foreign Affairs Otherwise Norway has been
practically independent But Sweden holds the
balance Of power. The main questions affecting
the foreign relations OF the two countries arc de-
cided by a council, composed Of the King and two
Swedish Ministers. Questions which concern both
countries alike or Norway alone, are determined
by the same council. with the addition Of the

A Distiugufshed Party.

Hon. Redfield Proctor, Secretary Of
War, and party, arrived Friday night Of
last week, in an elegantly fitted up pri-
waite car. The party consisted OF the
Honorable Secretary and his military
secretary. Capt. Woodruff, Quartermss-
ter General Batchelder and Major Hill,
the latter having charge of the party in
regard to advance arrangements. At
Ell Paso the party was joined by General
A. McC. McCook, and his aide, Lieut. c.
B. Baker, who escor' ed the party
through the Department OF Arizona.
The entire party, except Major Hill, left
early Saturday morning for Foit Grant,,
and from there to Thomas and San Car
los, the Secretary wishing to inform
himself personally as to the condition of
the posts in Arizona and New Mexico,
and it is said that in his coming report
many changes for the better will be re-
commended.
The party returned Tuesday evening
and were driven to the depot, where
their special was in waiting, which they
Immediately boarded and steamed west
ward.
The Secretary, when spoken to about
his reported probable retirement in
three months, says it is all idle gossip,
and that such step was never premedi-
tated.
Major Hill, in speaking of the reported
return of Geronimo and band OF Chiri
cahuas to Fort Wingate, said for matter
entirely groundless. it was causing much
unnecessary severe criticism from
the press Of the western country.
A week previous to our interview he was
at the barracks in Alabama, where these
Indians are held as prisoners of war, and
they were right there, and would stay
there, notwithstanding the published
fact that Geronimo was seen and spoken
to by Mexican in Sonora. All such re-
ports are without foundation and should
not be published. --Stockman

Tombstone Topics.

John Celso returned last night from
the gold diggings in Sonora which have
created such an excitement in this Sec
ton. He went there partly to satisfy
himself, and partly in the interest Of
friends who had confidence in his judg-
ment. The report he brings back Is any
thing but favorable He remained four
days in the vicinity of the dlggings and
prospected them thoroughly He also
observed what others are doing aDd
states that no man is making more than
$3.50 per day. There are about fifty
Americans and one hundred Mexicans
there and all the white men who ca are
getting out.
In conversation with Mr.. Severene,
who has just returned from Boston. it
was learned that no change at the mines
at Turquois IL which he is interested
will take place. Work will 20 along
about as IL has.
The Rondolph mine changed hands to-
day and will Start up again under the
management OF Bausteld IL Warner.
The former was appointed agent Ct the
company a short time ago and it is
stated that the company will work it
themselves.
The work on the Mamie dumps is pro-
crossing with good results. The con
centration OF the screenings with bud
dies is proving both economical and
profitable.

The lessees of the Junietta have been

Explorers Return.

Al Childers and Frank Gabbert re-
turned Saturday evening from theil
late government search for antique CIV.
illzation, under command of Professor
Mindeleff. A month was spent examin.
ing the ruins of Casa Grande and ar
rangements made to enclose and pre-
serve the wonder of lost race.
Journeying northward the party, So
miles beyond Fl. Mcdowell, was cut off
from the world by floods in Salt and
Verde rivers, at the time Phenix enjoy
ed similar misfortune. Their first news
of this deluge's doings was an item in a
Prescott paper stating that the water
bad risen 10 within two feet of the City
Hall in Phenix.
Their trip beyond Mcdowell was very
slow and tedious, they being compelled
to- travel three or four miles often,
around some bluff, in order to make a
hundred yards of actual progress. They
were eight days in accomplishing fifty
miles. At length they reached Camp
Verde, where the party disbanded.
Prof. Mindeleff, his wife and Hol
brook guide are awaiting orders either
to trudge on with their outfit to San
Juan, Colorado, or proceed to Flagstaff
and take the care for Washington, D. G..
Mrs. Mindeleff made a brave record,
coming as she did from the luxury Of
life at the national capital. Downing a
blue flannel bloomer costume, she rode
astride and bravely went up all trails
and along precipitous cliffs as fearlessly
as any in the party, although oftentlmes
older and more experienced frontier
heads get dizzy at the sickening depths
below, where single false step would
send horse and rider into abysmal eter-
nifty. She slept on the, ground, with no
canopy save the starry vault of heaven,
and came through the trip as fresh and
vigorous as Gala lily at the Preside in
February.-Phenix Herald.
