Swedish Press Hopes That

PRAISES HER VIRTUES
President Of the United
States Not Regarded as
a Private Foreign Man.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.


CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-News has
reached Washington that the newspa-
pers of Sweden are discussing the prob
ability of Prince Gustaf Adolph. Duke
of Scandia, and eldest son of the Crown
Prince, taking an American wife. The
Upsala Mia Tiding recently printed a
significant editorial declaring that the
heir apparent would make a popular
choice should he decide to seek Miss
Alice Roosevelt as his royal bride. The
editorial continued:
President Roosevelt's daughter is a
young woman that in intelligence and
personal attributes is fully the equal
of her remarkable father. The royal
person who succeeds in winning her
hand will bring home to his country a
bride that, in qualification of heart and
head, would in a peculiarly satisfac-
tory manner fill the position of consort
of a ruling monarch
The editorial declares there is moth
ing to prevent such a marriage. as the
President is not a private foreign
man." and concludes with these sig
nficant words:
That King Oscar would give his
sanction, there can be no doubt"
The Upsala papers editorial has been
reprinted and revamped in many other
publications, and the proposition is re-
ceived with general satisfaction. al
though some editors doubt if Miss
Roosevelt would care to become a
Queen since American girls. they say,
have the reputation of being so inde-
pendent

PERFECT CALM
AFTER STORM
Quiet and Orderly Session
of the Hungarian Parlia-
ment Held in Budapest
RIOTS ARE CONDEMNED
Opposition Parties Fail to
Enlist Public Sympathy
in Their Demonstrations

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Dec. 1.-THE
lower house of the Hungarian Parlia-
ment opened this morning in perfect
calm. The royal rescript convoking the
Diet was listened to attentively, and
the house thereafter adjourned without
the least attempt on the part of the
opposition to renew the. rioting of yes
terday. The orderliness of the proceed
ings was attributed to the absence of
President Perczel.
The opposition, under the leadership
Of Count Apponyi and Francis Kossuth,
took possession of the House as early as
$3.50 o'clock this morning in consequence
of the rumor that the Government pro-
posed sitting at Z o'clock. The Depu-
ties took up a strong position on the
Presidents platform, prepared to repel
any attempt of the guards to dispossess
them. The latter. however, made no
effort tc enter the House, and on the
assurances of Count Andrassy that
President Perczel would not preside and
that the guards would not enter the
House, the platform was cleared
Premier Tisza and the members of
his Cabinet entered about N o'clock
and occupied the front bench, as all the
ministerial armchairs had been de-
SlTOyeO.
The members of the opposition par
ties have published a manifesto to the
nation in justification of their action
in removing the gendarmes from the
chamber and destroying the Presidents
chair, from which the crime of No
vember Is against the constitution was
committed" They declare they will do
their duty in the same way again to
save the country and the constitution"
1t is evident, however, that the op-
position parties feel the weakness of
their cause and their failure to enlist
any great public support. The scene in
the chamber Tuesday is being almost
universally condemned
1t is said that Count Andrassy acted
as mediator with Premier Tizsa and Sc
cured the compromise that enabled to-
days sitting of the chamber to be held
namely, that President Perczel should
absent himself from the House on
plea Of illness and that gendarmes
should not be admitted.
Another influence that induced the
truce is the knowledge that the Grim
inal law provides a long sentence at
bard labor to any one preventing by
force the sitting of Parliament.

DREAD WORK OF GRENADEs.
Horrible Spectacle in the Trenches of

HEADQUARTERS OF THE JAP
ANESE THIRD ARMY, BEFORE
PORT ARTHUR, Dec. 1.-THE work
of removing the dead from the crest
of 2O3-Meter Hill and from the slopes
on the north side of the hill has been
completed. The southern slopes are
still covered with bodies. which are
buried in the debris. in the trenches
and in bombproofs
The effect of dynamite. used as an
offensive weapon in the form of a
grenade, was instanced in an appalling
manner by the condition of the dead.
Long lines of Japanese bodies laid out
on slope of the hill previous to in
terment presented an awful appear
ance. Nearly all had been horribly
torn by the dynamite.
An unrecogniza bic mass of flesh and
bones, fragments of Hundreds of
killed, unearthed from the fiIled-in
Russian trenches and piled UP on
slope of the hill, presented a scene of
horror never to be forgotten.
The heavy timbers and steel plates
of the bombproofs were torn TO splin-
ters by shells and dynamite bombs.

SHAW fONFERS
WITH MILLERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-At the re-
quest of Secretary Shaw representa-
tives of a number of the leading -four
milling interests of the country were at
the Treasury Department to-day in
conference with the Secretary on the
subject of the measure now in prepara-
ton to allow a drawback on exported
-four made in part from imported
wheat. During the conference the Sec
retary questioned the millers present
on several matters of detail in connec-
ton with the milling of wheat, the con-
dition of the export trade and the
necessity for the action asked for. At
the conclusion of the conference Secre-
tary Shaw made the following state
ment:
preciated when ii is known that during Octo-
ber 1905 800. coo barrels of American made
flour were exported and in October. 1904. less
than 500 600 barrels. In other words, the ex-
portation of American-made flour has fallen OF
during the present season more than one-half.
If the European bakers that have been using
the American made flour change IL would be
next to impossible to get the trade back and
it never can be got back until the American
farmer sells his wheat cheap enough to permit
the American miller to undersell When the
expert of the Treasury Department was at
Minneapolis in November. the Sheffield King
Milling Company sent thirty-nine cablegrams to
Europe offering flour at cents per barrel be-
low the cost of production as shown by the
books But two replies were obtained. One
of them read: 1t is absolutely useless for
you to cable us on such a basis, and the
other: Your prices are out of sight
Two mills are in process of construction
in London. each with capacity of 1000 barrels
day. Similar mills are being built at Bel
fast and other places. Canadian mills regu-
larlv sell -four for export on the New York
CITY market. and II is then sent through The
United States In bond from New York. To-day
the price of American wheat Is about l6 cents
above that of Canada.

Herbert Woods, who returned from
Sonora with Jones, was attacked by the
Yaquis While on his way TO Magdalena.
He carried a grip on his saddle which
the Indians must have believed con-
tained bullion. They surprised Woods
by opening fire and killing his horse.
His Mexican bodyguard then fled. leav
ing him to the mercy Of the Indians but
when he handed over the grip and they
found him 70 be an American they left
him unharmed. He made his way TO the
nearest ranch. where he was picked up
by party which had started out from
