Prof. +. b. Lowell of Columbia University.
a former student at Cornell, has written a
letter to President Schurnan declining the

of the remnant of their Pomeranan pos
sessions, which had been looked upon
as monument to the glory Of GusTAvus
ADoLPHUs. Nor can 1t be denied that
the two northern Scandinavian king
doms, when united, could count upon
Offering more sturdy resistance to Mus
covite aggression than could be made by
either separately. 1t ID also true that
the constitutionality Of the method OF
secession adopted by the Storthing, or
Norwegian Parliament, was open to
dispute. The meeting of the Riksdag,
therefore, was awaited with some anx-
iety, which, however, was at once dis
PEELED by the pathetic yet magnanimous
tenor Of the Kings speech
1t could not be otherwise than painful
for the fourth sovereign Of che house OF
Bernadotte to be constrained to sanction
the loss Of that Norwegian Kingdom
which had been Swedens only compen-
sation for sacrifices imposed elsewhere.
1t was the more painful because, as the
Norwegians themselves bear witness,
OSCAR III. has striven throughout his
reign to do his duty to both countries
If he had hesitated for moment con-
corning the course which it behooved
him to pursue at this conjuncture. it
was, he said, because he doubted
whether the maintenance of the bond
Of union might not be Indispensable
to Scandinavian security. Nevertheless,
upon mature reflection, and after con-
sutation with the Council OF State, he
had come to the conclusion that a recon-
soldation Of the kingdoms, even were 1t
attainable by force, would, as substi-
tuting ranking enmity for fraternal
union of hearts, bring no real advantage
to Sweden itself He announced, accord
ingly, that the bill which his Ministers
would lay before the Riksdag would not
contemplate replying to injustice by
acts Of coercion. 1t would propose, he
said, to Norway arrangements which,
he trusted, would prove Of ultimate ad-
vantage to both peoples. He concluded
with the expression Of hope that his
Swedish subjects might, by energy and
harmony within their own frontiers,
regain at least part OF the Importance
which they had lost in the eyes of the
world by the dissolution Of the union
established ninety years ago.
The bill to which King OSCAR referred
was laid by Premier RAMsTEDT before
the Riksdag. and requested authority
to enter into negotiations with the Nor
wegian Storthing in order to settle
various questions involved in the separa-
ton Of the kingdom. II Is reported that
one OF the aims Of the Swedish Commits
sioners will be the conclusion OF treaty
OF arbitration between Sweden and Nor
way, which will be regarded as the first
step, and long step. toward the ultimate
acceptance Of a defensive treaty OF
alliance to which it Ia not improbable
that Denmark one day might accede
1t is thus not impossible that Norway's
secession. which to-day seems blow
to Sweden, may prove in the end
blessing to all three Of the Scandinavian
peoples

NORWAY SEEKS RECOGNITION
We Are Notified That the Government OF
Norway Has Been Established,

WASHINGTON, June pa comnnlnca.
ton from Mr. Archbender. as Minister o,
Foreign Affairs of Norway, reached the
State Department to-day 1t was the
formal notification to this Government
that the Government Of Norway, as it il
termed In the note, has been formally estab.
lished and Is ready to take up any matters
which may arise between the United States
and Norway. While the note is not Ore.
cisely a request for recognition, it amounts
to practically the same thing.
The course which will be taken ~ the
United States Government has not been
determined. The note will be taken to
the White House to morrow. when Presiden,
Roosevelt has returned, and will in all
probability be discussed at the Cabinet
meeting tomorrow morning
1t Is probable that the United State,
Government will recognize the new Gov.
eminent OF Norway. President Roosevelt
will make a careful inquiry into the status
Of that Govern ment, and will first become
convinced that it is firmly established on
a sound basis. II it is shown that the Gov
eminent is stable and that the dissolution
OF Norway and Sweden is effected with
peace and without bloodshed this Govern
ment will act favorably.
Another question which will be carefully
investigated by this Government before
granting recognition is that Of the form
the new Government is to take. In the
note which was received to-day il is termed
only as the Government of NORWAY and
there is nothing to indicate the precise
nature Of the Government If the Nor
wegans decide on a republic this Govern
ment will be very quick to recognize it.
President Roosevelt has received petit
tons from Norwegans all over the country
to recognize the new Government when
the formal request was made There
cations at the White House urging tina,
this Government be the first to recognize
that Of Norway. If President koose-
welt recognizes Norway this Government
will very soon thereafter establish lega-
ton In the Norwegian capital. A Minister
will be appointed and the staff of the lega.
ton selected Norway will send similar
mission to this country.

Unfair journalism on the Isthmus

It had been supposed by most people
that the credit for the removal OF causes
OF friction last summer between the
United States and the Government OF
the little republic of Panama belonged
60 Secretary TAFT who went down to the
Isthmus to straighten matters.
Last month, however, at the time OF
tho transfer Of the Hon. JOHN BARRETT
to Bogota, there appeared in the Panama
Star and Herald a very eulogistic edi-
torial article concerning Minister BAR
RErr's services to the two republics. 1t
was he, Mr. BARRETT. who had QUOTED
public feeling by his tactful address to
President AMADoR and his considerable
treatment of arguments advanced by the
Panama Government. Secretary TAFT
merely came int the affair afterward:
There Is little doubt that there would have been
serious misunderstanding between the two Gov
ernments last summer II he Mr.. BARNETT had not
poured OIL on the troubled waters. Although the
American newspapers gave most OF the credit to the

Much more Of the same sort laudatory
OF the Hon. JOHN BARRETT as diplomat
and patriot. That was on May IL. The
Stdr and Herald Of June 10 has recently
reached us, containing this surprising
explanation Of its Barrett eulogy Of the
previous month:
The Star and Herald will now state that the
very laudatory article was lief, at this ofnce by
Mr. BAnsxrr's private secre,ar, and We have every
reason TO suppose was written by Mr.. JOHN BAR
RIFT himself, his powers OF self-laudation having
long been the envy OF those seeking diplomatic
promoionS
Truly q refreshing incident, doubly
welcome in hot weather! We submit,
however. that from the point Of view Of
journalistic ethics our lsthmian con-
temporary is a culprit, Having ac-
cepted from the hands of Minister BAR
RErT's secretary the article in praise OF
Minister BARRETT, and having adopted it
editorially, the Panama Star and Herald
had no right, no matter what the tempta-
ton, to turn upon its distinguished con-
tributor in this brutal fashion.

Norway Not to BE Cocrced.

It Is evident that notwithst anding the
resentment provoked by Norway's Sc
cession in certain classes Of Swedish so
dety, the Swedish Government has no
intention of trying to bring about by
force a reunion of the kingdoms. If any
such attempt was feared in Chrstiania,
the fear has been dispelled by the pro-
ceedings of the Riksdag, or Swedish Diet,
which met in extraordinary session On
June 81 at Stockholm.
The apprehensions Of the Norwegians
were based, first. upon their recognition
of the fact that both the standing army
and the navyof Sweden are much stronger
than their own; and, secondly, upon the
knowledge that the mobiles, who retain
a good deal Of political influence in
Sweden, having formerly constituted
a separate estate in the Diet, and still,
since 1886, forming a powerful element
in the upper house Of the bicameral
Parliament, have for the most part re-
garded with dislike and suspicion the
social structure of Norway, which is es-
eentially democratic, dreading the effect
Of it's example upon the Swedish prole-
tarat and peasantry. As the officers of
the standing army and of the reserve are
drawn to very large extent from the
aristocratic class, they naturally share
the feelings of their order. The mobiles,
however, have never been able to domi
nate the house of Bernadotte, as, dur
ing a part of the eighteenth century,
they controlle d the house of Vasa.
Moreover, since the development of
manufactures in Sweden, the operatives
have become what the miners always
we're, a social factor of considerable i'm
portance, and when acting in conjunc-
ton with the burghers and peasants
they are practically able to dictate the
action OF the Government. Numerous
public meetings held since Norway's
assertion of independence have made it
plain that an effort to call out the Swe-
dish reserves for the purpose Of ooercing
the sister kingdom would encounter
serious resistance.
II was, nevertheless, conceivable that
King OSCAR H., who, it was known,
would open the Riksdag in person, might
make an irresistible appeal to the patriot
ism of the Swedes by reminding them Of
the circumstances under which the an
nexation Of Norway was effected. It is,
indeed, hist orical fact that only by the
permission to incorporate Norway, which
had belonged to Denmark for more than
four hundred years, were the Swedes
reconoiled to the absorption Of Finland
by Russia and to Prussia's requirement
