SUBJUGAIION OF NORWAY.
King Oscar May Take Up Arms
Against the Rebellious Kingdom

London correspondence St. Louis Globe
Democrat: All the hopes that We're
formed during the celebration of the 18th
anniversary of King Oscars accession to
the throne a few months ago of the pos
sibility of 4 settlement of the difficulties
between Sweden and Norway have now
come to an end, and the antagonism be-
tween the sister kingdoms has. in conse-
quence, become more acute than ever.
King Oscar had made himself so agree
able at Christiani2 at the time OF the
Jubilee ceremonies that the NOrwegianS
were propitiated to the extent OF consent
ing to Join the Swedes in the formation of
a committee composed OF the leading poll
ticians and statesmen of both kingdoms
and of every political party, Tor the pur-
pose of finding some way TO definitely set
tie the long-Standing quarrel between the
two countries The committee set before
itself the task OF discovering some form
of compromise which would be lasting,
and il was arranged that the Norwegian
members of the committee should make
their report to their government at Chris
tiaia while in like manner the Swedish
members were TO report to their govern
ment at Stockholm. and then the two
governments were to enter INTO neEOtla-
lion for a convention which should be Of
such a nature as to be presented to both
parliamentS. with q good nope OF sue
ceSSful issue
This unionist committee inaugurated its
meetings in the best of temDers with
every hope that its labors would be
crowned with success. These expectations
have not been fulfilled. The co-nnittee
has terminated its negotiations and its
members have reported to their respect
i've governments that complete failure
has attended their efforts The rock on
which the committee has split is the old
difficulty about having common minis
ter of foreign affairs and common diDlO-
matte and consular representatives for
the two kingdoms. The objection to this
plan is so obvious that it is difficult to
conceive how any one could have ever
hoped TO get either of the two countries
to consent to any such q scheme. For

GOMEZ TO BLANCo.
Former Puts Some Pertinent Inquir-
les to the Governor.

New York. Jan. 12.-T. Estrada Palma
has received copy of letter written by
General Maxine Gomez, the rebel chief
in Cuba TO Captain General Blanco. The
letter says in part:
You have come to supersede Weyler.
To man of your conditions l would ask
as l did in the case of General Campos:
What are your aims and purposes? To
exterminate u.s.? 1t is impossible to do
that and to pretend such thing might
be little honor to you. Is your purpose
to subdue us? That is absurd and might
prove a ridiculous attempt for you. Our
determination is well known and patent.
Neither determination nor submission
would mean peace. In view of this fact,
l appeal to you, as to General CamDos.
Let this bloodshed stop.
Spain should not allow Cuba to owe
her independence directly or indirectly to
outside help. Let the deep abyss between
Cubans and Spaniards disappear by
Spain's recognition. of the Cuban republic.
Then there shall be eternal peace. Other
wise there shall be blood and fire That
would be the command of our honor and
dignity. We VIII follow it until victory,
which always crowns those who fight for
Justice, settles our fate.

ing, with an overflow crowd in and
about the state house. AT the hotels.
the opposing headquarters presented
the same anxious scenes. The work
ers on both sides showed more plainly
their WEAKNESS than on former morn
ings. The Hanna hustlers were up all
night On the watch Their opponents
spent the entire night in getting mem
bers out Of bed and staying near
others. There were several collisions
III the hotels between opposing work
ers and watchmen before day break,
and their feeling had not abated any
when they met again in the state house.
There were reports about attempts to
abduct certain members during the
night, but none was lost in any of the
alleged escapadeS.
SUSPENSE ENDED.
There seemed to be less curiosity
over the result of the joint ballot for
senator than over the well advertised
dramatic performance. in connection
with charges of bribery. conspiracy
and other wrongs charged by both sides
against each other And in the midst
of all the cheering there were signs of
relief from the wearying suspense over
the action of doubtful statesmen. 1t
will be two weeks next Friday since
Senator Hanna arrived here, but most
of his workers had been here over two
weeks and some OF his opponents had
been on the sleepless vigil for months.
Even those who had everything to gain
and nothing to lose, seemed to dread
further tension of a deadlock All
were ready for the curtain to drop.

O'clock, Representative Otis was
promptly recognized on a question of

regarding the Boyce bribery charges.
He said it was due the house and him

ton, the vote stood 80 ayes, So nays.
On the motion being declared lost,
there were cheers on the Republican
side and IN the galleries.
The vote was precisely the same on
ali the votes cast as on the two ballots
for the short and long terms for SEN
ator. There are 109 members of the
house. The So Hanna men always
voted solidly. Representative Cramer
was absent and is still very sick. The
other IS Democratic members and the
six boiling Republicans voted together
for an investigation before electing a
senator.

Representative Stewart. one Of the
