THE SO-cALLED ARROGANCE OF
SWEDEN MAY LEAD TO sERl.
GUS DEVELOPMENTS.
WANT THE TROOPS Modified
SWEDISH PAPERS DEMAND THE
MOBILIZATION OF SEVENTY
THOUSAND TROOPS.

Christiania, Sept. 10.-With the re-
turn yesterday from Karlstad of the
Norwegian commissioners sent to
discuss with the commissioners of
Sweden the question of dissolution Of
the union, decided sense of uneasi-
ness prevails, and this is accentuated
by the complete silence observed in
of the negotiations. Even in the most
pacific circles the situation is looked
upon as having an element of danger
and the prevailing nervousness has
been increased by the tone of the
Swedish newspapers, which are now
calling upon the government to mo-
Billie 10000 troops, at the same time
pointing out that Norway is only able
to command 5000 troops. While the
Swedish Riksdag Demanded
that the "fortresses recently erected
be no longer maintained" the Swed-
ish newspapers insist that the forti-
tications of the old fortresses of Fred
Kristen and Kongsvinger shall be de-
stroyed. No suggestion could be made
which would more deeply wound the
national pride of the Norwegians.
Kongsvinger is thirty miles from the
frontier and holds commanding po-
sition for the defense of Christiania,
the richest section of Norway, while
the corresponding zone in Sweden, it
is pointed out, is "unimportant and
has never been fortified
Responsible people here say the ar
rogant tone by the Swedish press, I'M
less it is modified, is likely to lead to
serious developments.

CRISIS PASSED IN CAUCASUS.
Situation Is Still erious and Order
Far From, BEING Restored.


Far From Being Restored.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 10. - The up
rising in the Baku district, according
to the latest dispatches, apparently
has passed the crisis, though the stu
alton is still serious and order is far
from being restored. In the oil dis
trict and even in the city of Baku the
belligerent factions are taking every
opportunity to commit murder and to
apply the torch. Troops are steadily
arriving in the district. The number
of reinforcements there up to noon
yesterday was 5000 and others are on
the way. The confagration in the
pumping establishments and reser-
voirs at Balakhan. Romani, Sabunta
and Bibietat has d not burned itself
out, but incendiarism apparently has
not made Roadway in the district Of
"Blacktown.' The dispatches re-
ceived up to this hour bring a mass of
details concerning the events of the
past week. but the information is of
comparatively small Importance and
the extent of the losses has not been

Disorder Follows Anti-Peace Meeting
at Kobe, Japan.
Toxic, Sept. 10-Following an anti
peace meeting at Kobe last night a
crowd estimated at 100 went to the
Minatogua temple where statue to
Marquis Ito had been recently erect
ed, attached rope to the statue,
pulled it from it's pedestal and
dragged it through the streets. The
crowds then charged three police
boxes, where there was some fighting.
This was followed by some excite
ment and disorder. Later dispatches
indicate the situation is not serious.
The police report one rioter killed,
one badly injured and sixty arrested
in the Hojdda and Fakagwa districts
since midnight. The government has
suspended a total of five newspapers
and it is expected that publication of
others will be prevented. 1t is pre-
dicted that trouble will occur to-day
providing the weather is favorable,
although many believe that the most
serious part of the disturbances is
over unless an accidental clash with
the military results in bloodshed.

ORDERS TO DROP CASES OF
RICKETTS, AND HAY ARE
DISREGARpED.
RICKETTS, PLACED IN CHARGE
PALMER ORDERED TO TURN
OVER THE OFFICE 70 THE
FOREMAN

Oyster Bay, l.. L., Sept. 10. - Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday afternoon
took summary action in the case of
Frank w. Palmer, head of the govern
ment printing Office at Washington, by
removing him from Office.
Last Monday the president directed
Mr.. Palmer to send to him his resg-
nation to take effect on the 18th inst.
At the same time he directed him NJ.
to take any further action in l..1
cases Of Oscar ]. Ricketts,, foreman
of printing, and L. G. Hay, division
foreman in the government printing
Office, whose designations Mr.. Palmer
had requested. Mr. Palmer had given
Ricketts, and Hay until Tuesday
To Show Cause
in writing why the charges he had
made against them should not be
operative in removing them from
their positions in the event of their
failure to resign.
In direct disobedience Of the pres-
dents instructions, Mr.. Palmer ON
the 5th inst. notified Ricketts, and Hay
l1ldl tuC lllllS Which luSy nave
in which to answer his charges would
be extended until Saturday, the 9th
inst. AS this was not only a violation
of the presidents specific instructions,
but as the case of Ricketts, and Hay
had been placed in the hands of the
Keep commission for investigation,
the president felt that it was time to
Take Positive Action
regarding Mr.. Palmer. He therefore
removed him from Office by telegraph
and directed him to turn over the
printing Office to Foreman Ricketts,,
whom he has designated as acting
public printer. 1t can be said that
the appointment of Mr.. Ricketts, as
acting public printer is not an assur-
ance that he will succeed permanent
ly to that Office. The president has
not yet decided whom he may appoint
as the successor of Mr.. Palmer 1t is
not unlikely the final determination
of the question may depend to a con
siderable extent on the outcome of
the investigation into the affairs of
the government printing Office to be
made by the Keep commission.

animation of Mr.. Thompson's apart

possible for his injuries to be inflicted

INDUSTRIAL PEACE.

The reports of a strike at Jerome reminds us that there has never been
 a serious labor disturbance of any kind in this mineral district. At Bis bee for more than twenty years, the mines have been in constant opera ton, and there has never been q strike. For many years the Copper Queen company was practically the only one operating in Warren district. When other companies arrived they followed the Queen in the treatment accorded the men, and today there is no mining district in the country where the confidence and relationship between employer and employe is more admirable. So well known is this condition that no special attempt has ever been made by any labor organi- ;ation to organize union in the War Ten district. The men receive top EsOtch wages and work union hours, and they are satisfied, and hundreds
 of the miners have acquired good
