nounced, will play waiting game In
the matter of the canal falls dispute.
Nothing will be done, nor will i full
cabinet meeting be called until 1t il
learned what action President Harrison
will take. The issue Of the expected
presidential proclamation, rather than
resulting in a policy Of reprisals, will
probably be followed by a strong protest
to Great Britain that the United States
is violating the treaty Of Washington.

LONDON, Aug. 3.--The Chronicle
hopes THAT the report is not true that the
British minister at Stockholm assisted
the king to intimidate Norwegians who
are asking for separate consular
service from that Office by tell
ing the king that Lord Salisbury
considered it, impossible to deal
with Swedish consuls. Swedish
court organs assert that the kings
obstinate resistance to Norways de-
mands was due to the action OF the
British minister, who thinks that his
staff would be overworked If worried
by duplex consular service. 1t IL
feared that the minister while recently
visiting Norway gave the leaders there
the impression that the English foreign
Office would boycott Norwegian con-
suls. The Chronicle recalls the Sack
ville- West affair as parallel case and
urges Lord Salisbury to order the min
lister at Stockholm to publicly deny the
reports. tstssf
