IHE PLEBISCTIE IN NORWAY
The People Having Spoken, Sweden
Will be Notified.
Norway still Desires n King, But
She Can Not Wai Forever on
the House of Bernadotte.

Christiana, Aug. 15.-President G. G.
Berner of the storthing is quoted as
saying:
with the peoples expression of ap-
proval of the action of the storthing,
our only step can be to communicate
the result of the plebiscite to the Swed-
ish cabinet, reiterating the views pre-
vously expressed. If Sweden desires a
peaceful settlement and a lasting under
standing, she will not insist on asking
Norway to frame a request for Swe-
den's recognition of the dissolution and
cancellation of the act of union in an
Objectionable manner The riksdag's
conditions are vague and might be UNI
derstood as an ultimatum, but we are
willing to negotiate.
Norway at present desires to con
tinue under a monarch. This fact and
a spirit of Cancellation caused our Of
fer of the throne to a prince of the
house of Berradotte. This offer has
brought forth no answer. Norway, how
ever, can not wait forever, and in a
reasonable time will consider the fail
ure to answer as a refusal, and will in
vite another prince to occupy the
throne.
1.-THE storthing would not take the re-
sponsibility of deciding in favor of a
republic, but would refer that question
to the people"

PRESIDENT TALKS PLAINLY
Words Uttered at the New York
Chautauqua of Special Portent.
"rlice Power as Necessary as Broth
erly Love in Affairs Both mt
Home and Abroad.

Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Presi-
nent Roosevelt arrived here at S:45 am
on a special car over the Chautauqua
traction line.
In his address to the 5000 people
who had gathered in the assembly
grounds he said:
THE MONROE DOCTRINE is not a
part of international law, but it is tie
fundamental feature of our entire for
eign policy in the western hemisphere.
FOssilization means death, wheth-
er to m individual, to a govern
ment, or to u doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine must not be
considered merely an excuse for ter
ritorial aggression. Nor must it be used
for the evasion of just debts.
l believe that the ethical element ia
by degrees entering into the dealings
Of one nation with another. BUT PO-
LICE POWER is AS NECESSARY
AS BROTHERLY LOVE.
The effort to prevent all restraint of
competition has been ill-judged.
WHAT is NEEDED is a vigilant and
effective control of combinations
formed.
Reasonable regulation must be sub
mitted to or government action of
more drastic type must be taken.
i believe all corporations engaged
in interstate m should be
under the supervision of the nation
al government.
WE MAY HAVE TO FORCE all cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce to produce proof that they are
n no monopoly in restraint of trade,
or if failing to do SO, forfeit their char
tiers.
Some of the exceptional men use
fheir energies in ways that are not for
the common good, and by so do
ing they not only wrong smaller and
less able men-whether wage-workers
or small producers and traders-but
force other men of exceptional abili-
ties themselves to do what is wrong
under penalty of falling behind in the
keen race for success.
THERE is NEED OF LEGISLA-
TION TO STRIVE TO MEET SUCH
ABUSES.

MAY Be NO SPECIAL SESSION
President Roosevelt Has Not Decid-
ed the Question Definitely.
Strong Pressure is Being Brought
TO Bear TO Induce the Presi-
dent to Cut 1t Out.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 14.-Not-
outstanding the more or less definite
announcement which has cma1ued
from various sources during the LAST
few Eonths. congress may TO. be
called into extraordinary session next
November. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session will
be held this year.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt himself.
He has not decided the question def
nitely yet, and probably will not reach
a decision of it until he shall have re-
turned to Washington the latter part
OF September. The chances of an ex-
traordlrary session appear, however, to
be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
not TO call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the sub
Ject throughout the country that the
president has received a large number
of letters regarding it. Many senators
and representatives have urged against
an extra session. They point out that
practically nothing will be gained by
an extra session that will begin not
more than three weeks before the open
ing of the regular long session, and
that it will cause some inconvenience
to many members of congress in both
branches. Taking these things into con-
sideration, the president has reserved a
definite decision of the matter.

Ellled on the passenger train
we're all riding in the smok-
ing car at the head Of the train and
were mostly foreign laborers in the en-
ploy of the Standard Oil Co. on their
way from Fort Seneca to Brookfeld, O.,
in charge of a foreman. Engineer G. C.
Poole, of the passenger train, was killed
at his post while trying to reach for the
air brake, after seeing the headlight OF
the freight train. His fireman, Haef-
ner, saved himself by jumping.
The high speed of the passenger train
threw its locomotive and first three
coaches over on the engine of the
freight train, telescoping the smoker
and the car following. The forward
cars of the freight train were sphintered
to fragments.
OF the passengers in the smoker, none
escaped injury. Fortunately there wai
no fire, but the heavy timbers of the
wrecked cars pinned down many an,
prevented them from getting out until
assistance arrived.
AS soon as possible after the wreck
occurred, doctors were sent on a special
train to the scene from Lorain.
The injured were hurried to Lorain
and placed in the hospital there. The
dead were conveyed 70 the morgue al
Lorain. awaiting Identification and dis
position.
When the trains came together, al.
most everybody in the smoker was doz-
ing. The sudden jar hurled them out
IF their seats into the aisle and threw
several persons to the roof and sides OF
the car, which seemed all at once to
crush in like a paper bag, pinning down
each passenger in the position in which
he had been caught. The passengers.
in the second car escaped more easily,
as there the violence Of the impact was
not so severe, although few got off
without cuts, bruises, sprains or broken
bones. The two rear cars were Sleep
ers, and they withstood the shock
without suffering serious harm. No
passengers in the sleepers were injured.
