PAT GROVE is MET BY CROWD.
Alleged kidnapper Is Greeted by I'm
mense Crowd at Omaha.

Omaha, Oct. IL. Pat Grove,
shackled to Detective Heitfeldt of the,
Omaha detective department, and ac-
companied by Chief Detective Dunn
arrived in Omaha at 9 O'Clock last
night from Butte, Mont, where he was
arrested a week ago. A crowd of 1000
persons had gathered at the union sta
tion, and they filed the station and
approaches in every direction, intent
on securing if possible a glance at
Grove.
A large Gordon of police opened an
aisle from the platform of the train to-
patrol wagon in the rear of the sta
ton, and Grove, between the two de-
tectves, with a patrolman walking
ahead and another behind, was
marched to the wagon amid cheers of
some and exclamations of others. A
large crowd followed the patrol to the
station, where another crowd haG

To Witness the Return
of the prisoner Precautions were
again taken to prevent friends from
reaching the prisoner, and he was hur
ried into the captains Office, where he
was registered. Opposite his name was
placed the charge of shooting with in
tent to kill or wound.
Grove was not inclined to talk of his
past, and refused absolutely to speak
Of his alleged connection with the kid
mapping of Eddie Cudahy. He declared
that much had been published on his
alleged doings, confessions and other
matters, which were without founda-
ton. Among these he mentioned a
confession said to have been signed by
him at Butte, duplicating young Cud-
ahy in a conspiracy in connection with
the kidnapping.
"When this case comes to trial" said
Grove, "the truth will be known to the
world. God will take care of me. He
takes care of everybody and makes no
mistakes. | don't feel nearly as anx-

he would not prosecute your" was
asked.
II believe Mr. Cudahy has made the
statement that did so. did not think
he would tell lie for $21 1,OOO," he re-
piled.
In registering, he, was asked what
his occupation was. Replying to this
query, Grove remarked:
"Dodging you fellows has been about

seven years"
Grove took particular notice of the
crowd that gathered at the station
and remarked that it was flattering
welcome that Omaha was giving to-
one OF her former citizens.

Christiania, Oct. II. - After two
days spent in excited discussion, the
storthing at 1880 o'clock this morning
proceeded to a division on the prOpO-
sition Of the minority to submit the
Karlstad agreement concerning the
dissolution of the union between Nor
way and Sweden to a referendum.
The proposal was rejected by vote OF
lO9 to 8. The agreement was then ac-
cepted by 1O1 to 16. This is signal
victory for the government.
Can't Have Crown.
In the course of the debate. Premier
Nicholson made an interesting speech
on the question of the selection of a.
king. He said that the offer OF the
throne to a member of the house OF
Bernadotte was made as an expression
of good will. 1t had apparently, how
ever. been otherwise interpreted in
Sweden. as according to King Oscars
observations to foreign newspaper
men, his majesty would regard his ap-
proval of such a selection as person
al sacrifice In conclusion, the premier
said that the question now appeared
to be outside actual politice.
Premier Michelson's statement is re-
garded as a withdrawal of Norways
offer Of the throne to member of the
Bernadotte family.

Stockholm, Oct. II. - Count Wacht-
meister, the minister for foreign af
fairs of Sweden. in an interview yes
terday. calls attention to the continued
existence of the treaty of 1855, negoti
ated after the Crimean war, in Which
Great Britain and France engaged to
furnish the King of Sweden and Nor
way with naval and Military forces
sufficient to cooperate with his forces
in resisting the pretensions or aggres-
sions of Russia. The treaty further
binds the king not to cede any Swedish
or Norwegian territory to, nor to grant
, Russia any coast privileges.
Count Wachtmeister adds that
Sweden considers the treaty to be of
great Importance. The position Or
France toward Russia has changed,
yet he believes Great Britain has not
forgotten the treaty and holds to it.
Outcome Is Doubtful.
The Swedish minister further re-
marks that the present situation OF
Sweden and Norway makes it uncer-
tain whether France and Great Britain
will take steps to renew the treaty
Continuing he says:
"The treaty is particularly impor-
tant to Norway, as it is a guaranty of
its coast territory"
The treaty of 1855, barring Russian
expansion westward, comes to notice
at significant moment, after the sig
nature of the Anglo-Japanese treaty,
which plays the same role in the Far
East, thus presenting an international
problem in the Scandinavian crisis.
