A NEW YEARS LONG AGO.

BY ROY FARRELL GREENE.
There were gallant beauxa round her, each
an homage due to pay,
There were Calhoun's firm disciples and the
followers Of Clay;
Men of strength who mold a nation and Its
future course outline
Build a structure for their children and cur
children-yours and mine.
They had gathered there together; they
had come from far and near,
To trip q last gay measure ere the passing
of the year;
And whilom cares were banist.ed as they
glided to and fro,
When grandma tread the minuet one New
Years long ago.
Rival statesmen turned from labor Of d.
plomacy to steal
A rest withinNthe mazes of an old Virginia
reel,
And the friends Of abolition by each act and
word Of mouth
Expressed the bond Of kinship with the
scions of the south
II was midnight when the music from the
belfry tower stole
TO aid Of swelling v%iolins, a most harmoni-
GUS whole.
And the old year passed with pitpats from
each tripping heel and toe,
When Grandma tread the minuet one new
Years long ago.
How they danced a hearty welcome to the
year but newly born,
How the hours seemed shorter as 1t nearer
grew to morn,
How the music ebbed, receded, with a glory
In Its tide
That filled the hearts, the pulses, till in &C.
stacy 1t diedl
All, the gov she wore has faded, and q

He Would Consider a King
 of Norway
IF THE RlKESDAG DESIRED
The Indications Are, Though That That Body Is UnfavOrable and Will Insist Upon an Unpeaceful Solution of the Scandinavian Problem.

Stockholm, June 27.-King Oscar has directed the court marsnal .o issue the following statement regarding the ru- mor that his majesty would be willing to place a prince of the house of Der nadotte on the throne of Norway: The king does not approve the idea and will not consent thereto. The only condi- tion under which his majesty could consider this decision will be the un- expected expression of the wish of the Riksdag that a prince of the house of Bernadotte should ascend the NOrwe- Gian throne.
 Both houses of the Riksdag today elected extraordinary committees to which were referred the government bill looking to settlement with Nor way. The senate committee consists af nine anti government and three pro government members and the house committee of five pro- government. five anti government and two independent members.
 The debate on the remission of the bill brought out fiery speeches in which the action of the Norwegian Storthing was condemned and the Swedish cabi- net severely criticized. The tenor of the speeches throughout the debate in both houses leaves the impression that a majority of the speakers were of the opinion that a peaceful solution of the difficulty was extremely improbable.

I New Haven. Conn, June 27.-By de- feating Harvard to 2 Yale won its first Intercollegiate championship since 1898, to the great delight of the com mencement throng of 12.OOO persons. The game gave Yale clear claim to the title, the local collegians having beaten all her eastern rivals including Princeton, which Harvard defeated in their only game. The crowd was one of the largest that ever attended a commencement game here and the en- thuSiaSm was intense.
 Picturesque as are these particular games on the Yale field none has ever been more so than that of today The reunion classes were present in strik- ing garb. The class of 1902, in High land costume, was led by two pipers in McGregOr plaids, who frequently danc- ed Highland filings on the green sward.

.EITHFR PEACE OR WAR
In the Frieudliest Language ths French COuntsr-Pr0pOsitiOn Re- garding COnfersncs on Moroccan Reforms Is Firmly Declined.

Paris. June 27--Germany's reply to
 the French note on the subject or Morocco was presented during the con
 ference between Prince Radolin. the
 German ambassador. and Premier Rou- Vier at the foreign office today While
 most friendly in form and entirely lack ing in peremptOry tone, Germany's re-
 sppuse none the less maintains the
 position that the Moroccan question must be regulated by a conference of the powers without any agreement i'm advance limiting the scope of such con ference. This was accompanied by a presentation of Germany's general point of view in such an amicahIe spirit as to disarm the suspicion entertain ed concerning Germany's ulterior mo tives.
 It is thought that Premier Rouvier will be prepared to terminate the con troYersy either by accepting the con ference or submitting counter proposals However. he informed Prince Radoliu that no decision would be taken until the German note had been submitted to a council of ministers at it's meeting on Friday It is the general expecta- tion that an agreement will b. reached on the basis of a conference
 ne tenSlOn m ofnclal quarters has notably diminished. and this is only explainabIe on the theory that the con ference will be accepted Germany's response does not make any notable concession. However. the agreeable tone adopted by Germany and the en- tire absence of menace appear to create the most favorable impression. This Is a most fortunate turn of affairs. for. while France sincerely seeks to avoid a rupture, anything offensive to the national pride might have iuflamesi public opinion beyond the point or control
 Reports from the foreign capitals Co the effect that France recognizes Ge-many's- influence in Persia as conn pepsation for the renunciation of that claim in Morocco has some what annoyed French officials. who ln terms authoritstively deny any such understanding, saving '' France is negotiating with Germany about Morocco and only about MoCoc- co.

St Petersburg, June 27.-A rumor spread throughout the city last night that General Kuropatkin had been killed. This rumor was connected sometimes with the report that 10000 Russians had been cut off by General Nogi's army and that General Kuro- patkbI had been taken prisoner.
 Nothing confirmatory Of these rum ors has been received either by the general staff or in the press dis patches. Members of the general staff say that no reports of special impor- lance have been received
 A report received from General Linevitch indicates that the Japanese advance continues steadily and that the Russian vanposts, under pressure. are retiring. fighting.
 Military experts take a gloomy view of General LineVitch's situation con sldering the impOssibility of a Russian victory. His retirement to Harbin and the isolation of Vladivostok are re- sarded as foregone conclusions when OyaIna strikes
