Berlin. July 27.-The foreign Office
denies utterly the report published by
a correspondent of London paper at
Stockholm TO the effect that Emperor
William, in his recent interview with
the Russian emperor. sought to obtain
the consent of the latter for prince
of the house of HohenZollern to ascend
the throne of Norway.
Word From Stockholm.
London. July 27.-The correspond.
ent of the Daily Mail at Stockholm
says:
THE object of Emperor Williams
interview with Emperor Nicholas was
to obtain the consent of the latter for a
prince of the house of Hohenzollern to
ascend the throne of Norway. 1t is
possible that the Russian emperor will
consent, provided Russia be permitted
to slightly rectify her frontier on the
The Daily Mail, commenting on the
dispatch, says that the ''rectified from
tier" means that Russia wants 10 ac-
quire the strip of Norwegian territory
which parts inland from the Arctic
ocean, thus gaining a seaport.
Predicts Selling by Russia.
The Stockholm correspondent of the
Morning Post sends an interview with
DR.. Sven Anders Hedin, the Swedish
and explorer. expressing
the opinion that Russia will sooner or
later seize the strip of territory which
includes Tromsoe, Hamerfest and Var
10 in Norway, and declaring that there
IS no reason why Sweden should spend
blood and treasure in defense of that
territory, although, of course, he says,
Sweden would fight should Russia at
.empt to take still more territory.

Plants Also.

New York. July 27.-New York and
Philadelphia capitalists are reported
TO be the main hackers in the $4,000.
Geo pottery trust just formed and con
trolling practically the entire table
ware and china output of the country.
Newton Jackson of Philadelphia is said
TO be the organizer of the combination.
and is reported TO have the backing of
three of the leading banks of that city.
Mr.. Jackson was in New York today To
secure the cooperation of some of the
interests in Wall street in the pottery
combination.
The principal manufactures of
which the new trust has secured con-
troll are those at East Liverpool. o..
which is the center of the crockery
manufacturing of the country. There
are 80 potteries in that place.
Few Outside.
OF the $4,000, OO0 capital, the great
er portion will be issued in per cent
preferred stock and the remainder in
common. The stocks will be listed on
New York and Chicago exchanges. The
Laughlin China company of
East Liverpool, Ohio. however. the
largest concern in that city with one
exception, still holds aloof. as also do
the Sebrings. who operate plants at
Sebring. Ohio.
1t is proposed after the combinaion
is in working order to absorb artware
potteries and sanitary ware plants. the
latter chiefly located at Trenton. y. j..
and thus virtually control the industry

REASON KNOWN HERE
Senate Will Be Called Upon to
Ratify a New Com
pact.

Washington, July 81 Germany's
commercial relations with the United
States viii be among the most impor.
tant subjects to come before the senate
at the next session of congress. Hav-
ing negotiated new commercial ar

Speck Won Sternburg will have full in
structiOns for the program to be fol-
Lowed. and upon the execution of this

New Orleans. July 27.-No report of

Cases Divided.
OF the new cases, nine are Italians.
OF the deaths, one occurred in a hos
pital, two up town. and the other three

The health authorities. after a study

that in aRs event, with the precautions
being taken. a serious epidemic is en-
tirely out of the question.

AS the result of the decision of the
state board of health to make a six

four fruit ships bound to New Orleans
have been ordered to Mobile. which is
understood to be willing to receive
them. One case of yellow fever has
appeared at Cannery, 60 miles below

who escaped from the French market
district
Societies Helping.
Italian societies are taking a hand
with the priests of their nationality,
with view of aiding the authorities.
Many of those living in the French
market section are ignorant and super
and when the fever began to
rage, they became frightened and
those not down with it fled to friends |
in other sections of the city and to the
country. That is why the
foci has been distributed.
There is still alarm among them, and |
Italian societies and priests will try to
reassure them and interest them in san
itation and pledge them to promptly
report cases of illness among them.

LATTER AS AN OFFSET
Rank and File of Russian Army

Friendly.

Washington. July 27.-As a clearer
idea is gained of Japan's peace terms,
whose general character was outlined
in the Associated Press dispatches last
night. the skepticism with which Wash
ington received the European reports
that Japan would demand the neutral
iZation of Vladivostok is lessened. In
fact. it is learned not only is this like
ly to constitute one of Japan's de-
mands, but it will be accompanied by
a startling counter proposal.
Would Not FortIfy Port Arthur.
In effect. according to a seemingly
well informed source. the Japanese
will propose in return for the neutral
izatiOn of this last Russian port on the
Pacific not TO fortify Port Arthur.
Should this information prove correct,
IL will entirely change the view which
has prevailed in official circles that
the question of Vladivistok's neutraliz-
alton could not reasonably be made
part Of Japan's peace price.
KOmura Was Reluctant.
An interesting story is current In
diplomatic circles regarding the selec-
tion of Baron Komura as Japan's chief
plenipOtentiary. According to the
story. Japan had hardly less trouble
than did Russia in finding an official
willing to undertake the delicate mis-
sion. Komura was finally induced to
accept. with the stipulation that before
the conference assembled the follow
ing things should be done:
First. the fioatation of a new loan I'm
order that Japan should be prepared to
continue the war in the event the Of
fer of peace failed.
Second, the occupation Of the Island
of Sakhalin.
Third, an advance against vladi-
vostok
Last. that Oyama should strike a de-
cisive blow at the Russian army in
Manchuria.
Three Already Carried Out.
The fact that the first three stipu-
lations have been fulfilled. while ad-
vices from the front indicate the i'm
minencc of a general engagement,
would indicate the story is well found
