FIXED NEUTRALITY
Hedin and Swedish Legislators Pre-
pare a Memorial.
IN FAVOR OF PERMANENT PEACE
United Kingdoms aud Denmark, 1T IL
Proposed, Should Stand
Isl Together.

Adolf Hedin and thirty-nine members OF
the second chamber of the Swedish riks-
dag have proposed the adoption OF me
mortal to King Oscar in which he is to De
petitioned to make arrangements Tor q
conference between the United Kingdoms
and Denmark regarding contemporary
eous and similarly worded notes to the
powers. in which the three Scandinavian
states shall declare their complete and
permanent neutrality.
AS an alternative it is suggested that
his majesty be requested by the riksdag to
announce to all the countries with which
the United Kingdoms maintain diplomatic
relations that the policy of the United
Kingdoms and Denmark will be for the
preservation of peace and the mainte-
nance iof neutrality which has been pre-
served for nearly 80 years; furthermore
that the preparations for improvement In
the defenses which have in the past been
neglected on account Of economical cond1-
tons, have no other purpose in view. 1t
Is requested that his majesty make known
this matt ter as soon as possible. Sue
oeeding in this alternative, 1t is propose ed
that the king shall be requested to at
tempt to induce Denmark to prepare and
forward to the powers similar note.
It appears from the above that the
Scandinavian union idea Is progressing
slowly and the motion of Mr.. Hedin Is
but an indication of an era of good feeling
between the three countries. The evil
dent intention Of the motion is to show
to the world that the three countries are
standing together and pursuing the same
foreign policy.
The proposition for joint commercial
policy Is now being considered and there
Is no reason to believe that it will fail to

treasure" in Innsbruck. Hence It's Ger
man name-"Die Schatzkammergeige." In
1S09 when the French plundered the his
toric city Of the kaisers,. the violin was
stolen by soldier of Napoleon, who in
turn disposed OF it at a fabulous price to
| the banker Rhaczek.
In 1880 Ole Bull, to whom some of the
| stories Of this wonderful fiddle had come
came to Innsbruck, and his flrstvis was
naturally to Rhaczek. The banker re-
ceived him with distinguished courtesy
but when Ole Bull expressed desire to
| see the violin Rhaczek declined The
violinist. however, begged SO persistently
and earnestly, declaring it would be the
| JOY Of his life to have seen the Joint work
OF Cellini and Salo, that the banker finally
consented.
He opened the case and the old instru-
ment, with its accumulated dust OF cen
turtles, lay there before the enraptured
1Ivision of Ole Bull. The sight of the treas
ure so agitated the son of the Vikings
that he trembled as If convulsed with
fever. and he made motion to touch 1t.
But Rhaczek placed himself between the
great violin and the still greater viohnlst.
When Ole Bull finally recovered his
usual composure of mind he offered
Rhaczek his entire fortune for the violin,
but the latter merely laughed.
'and we may talk business" Still, ne
promised that if he ever should think OF
selling the instrument. he cole Bull)
would have the preference.
About two years later the virtuoso was
sitting In his hotel at Leipzig with Liszt
and Mendelssohn. A letter was brought
in, but Bull, preoccupied, laid it indltfer-
emily aside.
"But read the letter; it may contain
something of interest" said the Hunga-
rian, whose intuition was feminine.
Bull complied, and it proved to be from
the son of Rhaczek. It read:
My Dear Sir-My father Is dead, and IN
his will he bequeaths to you the violin OF
Gaspard do Salo.
One can imagine better than describe
the effect of this sudden and brilliant
present upon one SO emotional as Ole
Bull. He almost Wept, and accepted Men
delssohn's proposition that he initiate the
violin with composition Of his own. He
also sent an enthusiastic letter Of thanks
to the Rhaczek family, and, what was
perhaps more eloquent Of his deep graft
tude, a check for 1000 specie daler to the
bankers little daughter
And now the celebrated violin, after so
many vicissitudes, is lying in one Of the
safes Of the Credit Bank in Bergen, await

Inasmuch as such discussion of openings

This familiar opening, whose. characteristic
moves are l-P to K4, P to K4; 2-Kt to kB3
Kt to OBS; 3-B to Kits, is more commonly
met, especially in the match and tourney play
of the past ten years, than any other played
It has been a familiar figure on the chess
board ever since the published analysis by
the Spanish bishop after whom 1t was named,
in 1861; but the greatest developments In the
analysis have been since 1890, and some or
the most interesting have been during the
past year. A,4 4:
