PREPARED TO FIGHT
TENSION between SWEDEN and
NORWAY GREAT.
Norway Said to Have Made Every
Preparation to insure Success
for Separate COnSulS Scheme,
Even Though Sweden Attempts
to Thwart II BY Force.

Chicago, May 27.-The Daily News
prints from its London correspondent
the following cablegram relative to
the tension between Norway and
Sweden:
Norway has made every prepara-
ton to insure the success Of the scheme
for separate consuls, though Sweden
should attempt to thwsrt it by force"
writes one of the most conservative
and best informed men in Norway to
the Daily News correspondent.
1.-THE consular bill, having passed
both sections of the storthing, will be
presented for the approval of the King
on Monday. Should his majesty veto
the measure, the storthing will ap.
point a temporary committee, which
will assume the reigns of power in
Norway pending the election of pres
ident or king. In connection with
this post Prince Waldemar of Denmark
is mentioned.
OtSSenSiOn In Sweden.
"What the Swedish government will
attempt to do is impossible to say, as
confusion and dissenslon reign in Swe-
den over the question. As far as Nor.
way is concerned, all is clear. The
people, the Storthing and the ministry
are of one mind. They will have their
separate consuls unless beaten in war.
'This contingency of armed inter
ference by Sweden is apprehended by
the national authorities. Enormous
quantities of provisions have been
stored. A shipload of ordnance has
been received from England. Humid

laborers have been and are now busily

PHILADELPHIANS Pledge
Overthrow OF DESPOTISM

Philadelphia, May 27.-Amid ire
mendous cheering and the waving of
flags, several Thousand persons who
were packed into the Academy of Mu-
sic to hear prominent Philadelphians
express their protest against the gas
lease. adopted the following resolution
"Resolved, That we, citizens OF
Philadelphia, without regard to party
or plans, do hereby, before God and
man, pledge our life, liberty and ga.
cred honor to the complete overthrow
of despotic methods in municipal af.
fairs, and the restoration of American
principles for which our fathers fought,
and which shall ever be our glory
while we remain worthy to be called
their children"
W. W. Justice, wool merchant
presided at the Academy meeting, and
the principal address was delivered by
Charles Emory Smith, former post
master general of the United States
Mr.. Smith, before beginning his
speech, announced that word had
reached him to the effect that $50 cit
liens had called upon a councilman il
an outlying ward and demanded OF
him to pledge his vote against the
lease, which he did. After Mr.. Smith
concluded his address another message
came that councilman in the Twer
ty eighth ward had also pledged him
self to 60 along with the mayor.
Among the others who addressed the
meeting were William T. Tilden, Sec
rotary Of the meeting; Frank M. Rit
ter, former director of public safety
s. Soils Cohen, physician; Prof. Lee
S. Rowe, president Of the American
Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence, and Rt. Rev. DR.. Alexander Nc.
Kay.Smlth, bishop coadjutor of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese Of Penn
sylvania.
The Y. M. G. A. hall was also taxed
to its capacity. Addresses were made
there by half a dozen prominent citi-
zens, including Charles Emory Smith.
In Broad street several thousand per
sons were gathered who could not gain
admission to the big academy building.
Word was sent inside, and three citi-
zens were sent out to address the crowd
from a barouche.
Leading men of the Republican or
Ranization which is advocating the
lease continue to remain silent. There
are, however, signs that several coun-
cilmen are breaking away under ire
mendous pressure from their constitu
ents, and will probably go along with
the mayor.
The all absorbing point of public in
terest is whether the mayor will sue.
coed in getting enough to defeat the
bill when it comes up next Thursday
for passage over his veto.
The organization still stands on its
statement that it will pass the ordi.
nance in spite of the mayors dap.
prevail.

some RIOTING OCCURS
In STREETS OF Chicago

Chicago, May 25.-Rioting broke
out afresh yesterday in the teamsters'
gtrike and although nobody was seri-
ously hurt there were a number of vi.
cious fights in the lumber district, dur.
ing which the police were compelled
to use their clubs, and in one instance
revolvers, to dispense the mob.
A serious fight took place at the cor
ner of Madison and Canal streets, ad-
joining the passenger station on the
Pennsylvania road.
The wagon of an express company,
although protected by policeman
and deputy sheriff, was attacked by
large crowd despite the fact that it
bore on each side large placard de-
claring that all people had been en-
joined from interfering with the wag-
on by the federal court.
The policeman displayed his revolv-
er, but the crowd, paying no attention
to him, rushed at the wagon land seiz-
ing the wheels attempted to overturn it
A riot call brought from the Des.
PLANES station, four squares distant, a
large force of officers, who dispersed
the crowd and arrested about forty of
the most active in the disturbance.
There were several other incipient
riots, and one policeman was wounded.
At a meeting of the associated build.
ing trades, at which twenty nine trades
affiliated with the building INDUSTRIES
were represented, it was decided that
no action will be taken which will
tend to drag the building trades into
the teamsters' strike.
This action on the part of the build
ing trades will go far toward restrict
ing the strike to it's present limits, as
it means that the members Of the
building trades unions will work with
materials irrespective of the fact that
they are hauled in wagons driven by
nonunion teamsters.
There is no movement at present
looking toward the settlement of the
strike.

Colum bus, o., May 26.-Col. Myron
T. Herrick was renominated for gov

In accepting the nomination, Gov.
Herrick paid a warm tribute to Presi.
dent Roosevelt and his policy. Dur
ing his speech he also severely con-
uemned the professional Lobbyist.
1.-THE people of Ohio, in the making

JAPAN HEARS RUMORS
that FLEETS have met

Tokyo, May 27.-Noon.-It is ru-
mored here that the Japanese and Rus.
sian fleets under Vice Admiral Togo
and Vice Admiral Rojestvensky have
engaged in the Korean straits.
The publication by the Asahi of a
suggestion that an engagement be-
tyeen the Russian and Japanese fleets
has already taken place has created a
sensation in the Japanese capital. The
paper points out the fact that the pres
ence of the Russian warships at Woo
sung is probably accounted for by the
fact that the warships were purposely
abandoned on account of their slow
speed and non. fighting value, and that
the Russian government is perfectly
willing to have them disarmed if their
stay there develops into a breach of
neutrality.
The paper declares its belief that
the battle between Rojestvensky and
Togo has already taken place and is
patiently awaiting report of the out
come.

BUSINESS PORTION OF
White HORSE BURNED

Dawson, Y. T.. May 24.-White
Horse was swept by fire at an early
hour yesterday morning. Most of the
town is in ruins and the total loss will
reach about $500, 900, partly covered
by insurance. The only fire engine in
the place broke down at critic al mo-
ment after working three minutes.
Much of the stocks in the stores was
entirely destroyed.
The burned district extends from

and includes the sites of most of the
big hotels and business houses and the
White Pass depots. The wharves were
saved. The fire originated in the bar
Der shop of the Windsor hotel.
