behind hastily formed barrlcades Of

found necessary to set fire to other

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 2.-The
opinion is expressed In official circles
here that the outlook for 4 satisfactory

will prevent any disagreement such rs
would make 1t necessary to asle King
Oscar Of Sweden and Norway to act

OF diplomacy, and ns furnishing the
