BEVERlDGE WILLING NOT TO
PASS THE MEASURE.
MILES WINS HIS POINT
Restriction Removed From Retired
Head of Army-President Talks to
.Churchmen, Lamenting Decrease
of Birth Rate and Loosening OF
Marriage Ties.

Washington, Jan. Humorous
conferences were held on the floor of
the senate yesterday regarding the
vote on the statehood bill. An effort
was made to get Senator Beveridge,
chairman of the committee on terrific
ries, to agree to some order for voting
on the amendments. He said he was
not opposed to such an agreement and
further that he did not care much
whether a vote was had on the state
hood bill at the present session. With
II new senators coming in with the
opening of the next congress he said
he felt the bill would be passed in its
present form The senator's state
ment is taken as an indication that
the bill soon may be displaced as the
pending business before the senate.
Miles Restriction Removed.
The senate passed the army appro-
priation bill after modifying the pro-
vision concerning the assignment OF
retired army officers to active service
with militia organizations. The eff
feet of the change is to relieve Gener
al Miles from it's application. Sena
tor Gallinger and others criticized the
amendment regulating the sale of
army transports, claiming the use of
government vessels forced unfair COM
petition upon the owners of private
vessels Senator Hale condemned the
operation of the general staff system
in the army and said he would oppose
any effort to establish similar sys-
TEN in the navy.
Must Not Exceed Appropriations.
Representative Littlefield of Maine
introduced a bill providing that no de-
partment of the government shall ex-
pend in any fiscal year any sum in
excess of the appropriations made for
that year, or involve the government
in any contract for future payment.
Six months Imprisonment and fine
of not less than $4,000 is provided for
violation of the act.
Democrats Agree With President.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was considered in the house, but the
debate turned principally on the topic
of restricting railroads in the matter of
freight rates. The Hepburn bill
formed the basis of the discussion.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi said the
democratic party was committed to
views such as were expressed by the
president in his message.

One of the most unpleasant and dan
gerous features of our American life
is the diminishing birth rate and the
Ioosening of marital ties among old
native American families. 1t goes
without saying that for the race as for

no business growth, no artistic or sci

London, Jan. 27.-George Meredith,
the author, in the course of an inter.
view expressed the strong conviction
that "the long reign Of despotism
which blocks eastern Europe is slowly
but surely coming to an end"
'The emperor is a poor, weak crea-
ture," said Mr.. Meredith. 1--WE must
all pity him in his fall. He has no
will Of his own; but as for the grand
dukes, they are the enemies of human
kind. Nobody in the world will regret
their disappearance. They are the
real authors of the terrible events in
st. Petersburg and Moscow. We know
now that it is the bureaucracy, with
the grand dukes at its head, that rules
Russia. By meeting the petitioners
the emperor might have averted blood
shed and delayed the revolution a few
years; but nothing, imagine, can now
prevent the early downfall of the gov
eminent"
He predicts that events will take the
following course: "The strike will
stop the preparations for carrying on
the war; the necessity Of dragooning
the people into submission will prevent
reinforcing the army in Manchuria;
General Kuropatkin, with reinforce
ments and supplies cut off, will have
no choice but to attempt a stroke
which, l am convinced, will fail; fail

Petersburg which will overwhelm the

REPORTED THAT CAR ACCEPTS
PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's OF.
FER OF MEDIATION.

st. Petersburg, June 9.-President
Roosevelt, when this dispatch reaches
America, should be in possession OF
Emperor Nicholas response to his
tender of his good Offices.
The efforts that President Roosevelt
has been making to bring the belliger-
ents together have entered on dis
tinctly new phase. Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff had an audience with the
emperor Tuesday afternoon upon the
subject Of Ambassador Cassini's COM
munication and at IL o'clock that>night
Ambassador Meyer called upon Count
Lamsdorff at the chancellory and re-
NAMED with the foreign minister for
some time. Whether this visit was
upon the invitation of Count Lams-
dorff or at the request of the ambassa-
dor cannot definitely be stated, but
there is reason to believe that the visit
was in Obedience to instructions from
washington conveying personal com
munication from the president to the
emperor rendering his good Offices
The result was that during the day
Mr.. Meyer went to Tsarskoe-Selo ip
full uniform and was
Received in Special Audience
by the emperor Upon his return to
ST. Petersburg in the afternoon Mr..
Meyer fastened to the embassy, where
he sent a long cipher dispatch to
Washington. Half an hour later he
was closeted with Sir Charles Har-
dinge, the British ambassador.
The present situation is extremely
delicate and the greatest reticence is
observed. The foreign Office is de-
serted, this being the empress birth
day, and at the American embassy no
statement, could be procured. Never
theless. there are some collateral indi-
cations that the emDeror's response
was favorable.
The sudden retirement of the French
foreign minister, M. Delcasse, who was
regarded as not only one of the strong
est supporters of the dual alliance but
as one Of the stanchest friends Of Rus
sia, was a great blow to Russia and
rendered President Roosevelt's friend
ly tender particularly opportune. Be
sides it is known that the emperor has
been strongly advised if he decided to
open peace negotiations to do SO
through President Roosevelt.

FAR EAST THE SUBJECT.
President Confers With the Italian
Ambassador.

Washington, June 8.-The Italian
ambassador to the United States had
a conference with President Roosevelt
during the afternoon by appointment.
The interview was held in the parlors
OF the White House. While no details
concerning the conference were made
public it is known that the situation
in the Far East was the principal SUBJ
ject of consideration. With every am.
bassador representing European SOW
ereigns the president now has dis
cussed the subject of peace between
Russia and Japan and there is perma-
nent ground for the statement that
the powers are acting in concert to
bring about a cessation of hOstilities
in the Orient. That Italy has thrown
the weight of her influence for peace
there can be no doubt.

RUSSIAN PRESS SARCASTIC. {
Bitterly Attacks American Neutrality
Regulations.

Regulations.
St Petersburg, June 8.-The Rus
sian press, notably the Novoe Vremya
and the Russ, the latter frequently re-
fecting the views of the foreign office,
displays great resentment against the
UnitoG States for enforcing the twenty
four-hour rule in the case of the
three Russian cruisers at Manila. The
Russ quotes the American neutrality
regulations and contends that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in applying the princi-
pie that only injuries received during
a storm and not in battle can be re-
paired in American ports. not only
narroWs the American regulations but
infringes recognized principles OF in
ternational law. This paper declares

ment that representations have been
made to Washington on the subject.

for the alleged manner in which her

President Roosevelt, whom it refers to
as "Mr. Roosevelt" contaminated by
England's example, arbitrarily inter-

Mr.. Roosevelt takes full advantage
OF the fact that Russia is helpless and
pOwerless to do more than protest.
The Japanese minister is reported to

to America for this act of impartiality
which is partial to Japan. We trust

Christiania, Norway, June 8.-The
storthing during the day declared the
union between Norway and Sweden
under one king to be dissolved and
that the king has ceased to act as king
of Norway.
The storthing further empowered
the present state council to act as
government of Norway until further
notice and to exercise the power here
tofore appertaining to the king.
An address to the king was adopted
declaring that no i'll feeling was en-
tertained against him, his dynasty or
the Swedish nation and asking him to
cooperate in the selection of a young
prince of the house of Bernadotte to
occupy the throne of Norway.
i At the opening of the session the
government informed the storthing
that it relinquished office at once. The
storthing thereupon unanimously and
without debate passed the following
resolution:
Whereas, All the members of the
council Of state have laid down their
offices, and
Whereas, His majesty, the king, has
declared himself unable to establish
new government for the country. and
Whereas, The constitutional regal
power thus becomes imperative and
the storthing authorizes the members
OF the council of state who retired to
exercise until further notice as the
Norwegian government the power ap-
pertaining to the king in accordance
with Norways constitution and exist
ing laws, with those changes which
are necessitated by the fact that the
union with Sweden under one king
is dissolved in consequence of the
king having ceased to act as Nor
Wegian king"
Premier Accepts Responsibility.
M. Nicholson, the retiring premier,
accepted in behalf of the government
the honorable and difficult task with
which the storthing has entrusted it.
Five Social Democrats dissented
from the address to the king.
1t is expected that the stOrthing will
issue proclamation to the Norwegian
people regarding the dethronement of
the monarch.
It is not anticipated that King Oscar
will consent to any prince of the house
of Bernadotte accepting the Norwegian
crown. Should the king refuse there
is a possibility that the throne may be
offered to Prince Waldemar, the third
son of King Christian of Denmark. The
people of Denmark are largely in SYM
pathy with the Norwegian demands.
The dissolution of the union between
Sweden and Norway has been pend
ing for some time and had it's growth
in the desire, which grew stronger as
time passed, for the establishment of
separate consular systems for the two
countries.
King Oscar recently vetoed at Stock
holm the measure presented to him
by the council of state providing for
separate consular representation and
the NorWegians maintained that the
king by so doing and partly by his alb
sence from Norway had suspended his
rights and duties as king of Norway.
One of the causes for the desire in
Sweden and Norway for separate con-
sular systems was the fact that Swe
den is protectionist and Norway is for
free trade and also because of Nor
ways more extensive sea trade and
other Emergencies of commercial in
