Puzzled by the Russians.


oyster Bay. Aug. 7.-Baron Kaneko. the
Japanese financial expert visited Saga
more Hill late to-day by appointment
for a conference with the President.
Assurance was given both by the Prcsi-
dent that Baron Kancko that the visit
had nothing to do with the pending peace
negotiations or with the raising of
money by a loan for either Japan or
Russia.
Baron Kanoko, during chat. said:
'"rhc noble work of President ROosc-
welt has done in the interest of peace

prayer Of all Of MS that his efforts may

NORWAY'S INDEPENDENCE
1t Has Manhood suffrage, While Swc-
den Ilns Not.

r. T.. Brackstad in the North Ameri-
can Review. sets forth the grounds of
"Norway's Rights to Independence" The
union between Norway and Sweden when
it was accomplished. was made upon the
express basis of absolute equality be-
teen the two nations. This essential con-
tends has never been realized, so far as
Norway is concerned. Sweden having al
ways shown "A disposition to assert :;
position of primacy for herself. This has
been especially noticeable in connection
with tn. administration of foreign af-
fairs. which have been conducted by IL
Swedish official. responsible to the Swcd-
ish Parliament
All efforts which the Norwegians hav.
made to right this wrong have been un-
successful: and when the King declined
to sanction the bill recently passed by
the Norwegian Parliament to provide for
separate Norwegian consuls. and failed
to secure n ministry which would sustain
his action. he practically ceased to h.
King Of Norway, and the declaration
of independence was the logical consc-
quence. Some of the contrasts between
Swcdcn and Norway are pointed out by
Mr.. Rrackstad:
According t. the act of union. the poll
teal relations between the two coun-
tries were based upon absolute equality
hut-to go back to the year OF lH4-
that was not the kind of union which
the Swcdcs wanted one of their lead
ing politicians At tn. time described il
as "A union to weep over And. consd-
erlng the great difference between the
two countries, their institutions. the char
actcr and aspirations of the two peoples
il was no doubt unwisc for them To
unite under one king who would have
had to b, more than human to be able
to act as n constitutional sovereign for
hoth countries. Thus the Swedish CON
sttution is founded upon the feudal sys-
tenn, while that of Norway is based upon
the ,rlal principle. The swedish consti-
tuition gives the king an absolute veto
the Norwegian only suspcnsOry one. Ir
Sweden the king may dissolve the Par.
lament consists Of an upper and a lower
chamber, while the Norwegian is Il one
chamber institution Sweden has Il very
old fashioned and limited franchise; in
Norway they have now manhood suf-

way has none
