SWEDE PAPERS ATTACK
AMERICAN CONSUL BERGH
Critcise Him Severely for Failing to
Hoist Flag on King Oscars
Rirthdav

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The state
department has been supplied with
copies of newspapers published in Cen
thenburg, Sweden, attacking the
American consul there Robert S. Bergh
because of alleged failure on his part
to show proper respect for King Oscar
on the occasion of his birthday ami
versary.
The Aftonblad charges that the flags
of their respective countries were
hoisted by every foreign consul in the
town except by Mr.. Bergh. This
caused much remark and speculation
on the part of the townspeople, who in
quired whether King Oscar had in any
way offended President Roosevelt that
he ordered his consul to refrain from
Joining In the celebration The paper
calls attention to the fact that Mr..
Bergh is a Norwegian by birth. but
does not think he is excused because OF
the position he occupies.
Assistant Secretary Loomis has de-
cided to call upon Mr.. Bergh for an
explanation.

BERLIN, Aug. 30.-The German gov
ernment has prepared its view of the
situation, which will appear in the next
issue of the German Gazette, as fol-
lows
I'VE greet the news with livelylsatis-
faction. The agreement, quick beyond
expectations, is due to the quiet ten
acity of Emperor Nicholas and his
counsellors in st. Petersburg, as well
as the plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth.
Acknowledgment must be made of the
amount of untouched powers of resist
ance that remain in the Russian i'm
perial state. notwithstanding the mill
tary misfortunes, and of the upsetting
of all the political theories that had
been built upon the differentiation of
the Slav world. The decision of the
Japanese statesmen was not an easy
one, but it honors their wisdom.
1t shows also that the youngest world
power which has so brilliantly entered
into the company of the cultivated pow
ers is worthy of the example it gave
during the war. The conclusion Of
peace by yielding all sharp conditions
may be more highly valued because the
agreement was a voluntary act. We
congratulate both sovereigns, their gov
ernments and their respective peoples
with open pleasure on attaining an un-
derstanding with each other, and we
hope that those who have been enc
mics may, as soon as the final peace
treaty is signed, begin to live next 20
each other as good neighbors.

velt's services whereby the conclusion

Body VIII Arrive In Los Angeles by
Special Train Tomorrow Morning,
Messages Of Coincidence Received
From All Parts Of Country

Arrangements are being made for
the funeral of the late Frederick II.
Rindge, who died Tuesday morning in
Yreka.
Mrs. Rindge, who will accompany the
body home on q special train from the
north. is expected to ARRIVE In Los
Angeles tomorrow morning and as yet
the definite time for the services has
not been set.
Services will probably be in charge Of
Rev. w. II. Rider, pastor of the West
lake Methodist church, and will BE
held at the residence on Harvard
boulevard.
Messages Of coincidence in the form
of letters and kilograms are pouring in
from all parts of the country and these
are being kept for Mrs. Rindge.
The offices of the Conservative Life
Insurance company, of which the de-
ceased was president, were closed yes
terday and everywhere in that build
ing are signs of mourning.
George l. Cochran, one of the firm of
attorneys in charge of Mr.. Rindge's
affairs, is with Mrs. Rindge,
Mr. Cochran was in Monterey at the
time of Mr.. Rindge's death and one OF
the partners of the firm telegraphed
the news to him. He went at once to
San Francisco to relieve Mrs. Rindge.
1t has been suggested that it may
be the wish of Mrs. Rindge to send
the body of her late husband back to
his boyhood home in Cambridge, Mass,
for burial, although friends are more
inclined to think the remains will be
inferred In a plot at Rosedale owned
by the family.

RUSSIANS RECEIVE
PEACE INTELLIGENCE
WITH MUCH APATHY

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 31.-The
news Of the successful completion of
the preliminary negotiations for peace
at Portsmouth has been received here
without marked or even notable ex-
pressions of satisfaction or dissatisfac-
ton. tranquility is perhaps the best
term with which to convey the senti-
ment OF practically all classes, includ-
ing the officials.
The prevailing sentiment among the
thinking element is that Japan arrived
at recognition OF the fact that 1t was
really impossible for Russia to make
any further concessions because she
desired to avoid arousing among the
people at home sentiments which would
constitute a most serious menace in
the future. It is recognized here that
Japan also realized the necessity for a
lasting and stable peace. and II is be-
lieyed that the success of the confer

BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 3O.-It devel-
oped yesterday that while the alleged
John w. Rodgers. who disappeared so
mysteriously from an Albany hotel,
leaving his children, had two fictitious
checks in his possession on the Kern
Valley bank, he succeeded in cashing a
third one for the sum of $1491 at the
Eastern bank in New York.
The body of the check as received at
the bank here was made out in wo-
mans handwriting and the name of the
California Consolidated Oil Fields COM
pany was forged thereto and signed II
A. Blodgett, by r. Shaw, the signature
being forgery.
The check was not filled out on the
regular blanks used by the company,
but had evidently been printed for the
special purpose of the forgery. The
type was different from the ordinary
check of the company and the ink was
not the same. The certifcation was by
rubber stamp, with the words Kern

r. Fl. Mcdonald, cashier. The forgery
was promptly detected in the bank and
the dishonored check returned to the
banks San Francisco correspondent 1t
appears that the check was drawn on
August 16 and was cashed on August %.

ELECTRIC STORM VISITS

DENVER, Aug. 30.-Portions of Colo
rado and southern Wyoming were
visited by an electric storm today which
terrified the people, causing them to seek
places of safety. and damaged property
to a considerable extent. AT Cheyenne,
Wyo., the rainfall was so heavy that
water ran in the streets to a depth in
some places of two feet. Many stores
We're flooded and a great deal of mer-
chandise ruined.
The lightning was terrific Trees were
splintered by lightning bolts and sew
eral houses were set af1re. The precipt-
tation of rain was the heaviest in
years.
At Fort Collins, Colo, the storm was
unusually severe in it's electrical fea-
lures. The lightning played almost con-
tinuously and the people of the town
ran here and there seeking safety.
In Platte canyon, near this city, and
particularly in the vicinity of Buffalo
park, rain fell in torrents, flooding the
tributaries of the Platte river and wash
ing out bridges in several places. The
roads were impossible. Colorado Springs
also received a visitation of the storm.
One house was struck by lightning, set
afire and burned to the ground.

tions sincerely desired to effect an un-
derstanding.
The hope Is expressed here that the
spirit 80 necessary to be achieved al
Portsmouth win continue until the
work Of the plenipotentiaries has been
finally concluded. To this feeling can
be ascribed the fact that the more In
telligent Russians do not regard the
outcome at Portsmouth as being al
together a diplomatic victory or a sue
cess won at the expense of Japan.
Appreciate RooseveIt's Work
Existing divergences of opinion can
be easily attributed to the internal
conditions I'm Russia. but it is no ex-
aggeration to say that all classes are
deeply and sincerely appreciative of
the efforts made by President Roose-
welt to bring about peace. Further
more the general and sustained inter-
est OF the American people in the en-
tire matter finds due recognition and
full appreciation here. President
Roosevelts efforts, It is declared, sup
piled the lubricant needed to overcome
the friction and to keep the machinery
of the conference running to sue
cessfu issue.
In considering the lack Of effusion
and all outward signs of satisfaction
with which the news was received at
st. Petersburg it should be borne in
mind that the Russians are an un-
demonstrative people and that the de-
tails of the great disasters of the war
were received with the same apparent
apathy. 1t is not the custom of the
people here to indulge In demonstra-
tions either upon occasions of great
sorrow or of great happiness, and the
lack OF popular and spontaneous eX-
pressions of satisfaction does not car
ry the same meaning as 1t would in
the United States. Furthermore, news
oe great events spreads slowly
throughout the empire, and this mill
tates against popular expression of
satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

Yet he did so by the czars orders, and

original declaration not to cede terri

Not word or line about the receipt
of the news comes out of Japan. In
view Of the situation both at Toxic and

to make much of the fact that the
minutes Of yesterdays fateful meeting
have not been signed by the plenipo-
tentiaries for the two powers. 1t is
pointed out that either side could still
repudiate the agreement, but the pleni-
potentiaries Of both powers refuse to
admit even the possibility of such a
happening.
The following statement Of the Jap
anese argument which governed their
decision to waive the question of in
demnity can be accepted as authorita-
tive:
Japan realized fully that she was
making a sacrifice for peace. but she
was looking to the future. 1t was not a
question of whether the war could be
successfully continued, but of whether
peace was not more advantageous to
Japan.
Japan had already gained all she
fought for. 1t was only 'spoils of war
that remained, and having achieved the
real objects of the war she could afford
to forego the spoils rather than be
placed in the position of fighting for
money. While japan believed she was
entitled to the spoils she felt that her
position was so strong and her success
