NO PACT WITH KAISER
Count Gyldenstolpe Denies Sweden Will
Join with Germany.

Chicago, July 1S.-A Chicago Daily
News special from Stockholm says:
There is growing uncertainty and I'M

country is at loss to know whether the
kaiser's naval demonstration this week
is an act of unselfsh friendliness to-
ward Sweden and an incidental warn
ing to Norway, or whether it is in
tended to bring pressure to bear on
Sweden to prevent the disruption Of the
union. The kaiser opposes dissolution
because he fears an Independent Nor
way would become the vassal Of Eng.
land and new danger to Germany
in the North sea. Many believe that
William may have gone so far at Gefe
as to inform King Oscar that Germany
considers Scandinavian unity as vital
to German interests and that Germany
could not be a passive observer of its
destruction.
Count Gyldenstolpe authorizes the
Daily News correspondent to deny the
stat ment published in the United
States yesterday to the effect that the
kaiser and King Oscar discussed the
preliminaries of Swedish German
alliance. He says the ide ais a fantasy
Inquiries among the leaders of public
opinion here show that the Swedes
shrink from such an alliance because
they feel that it would cost them dearly
some way or other.

RECOGNITION FOR NORWAY
Special ENJOYS Seeking Action by the
United States

ChicagA July 1S.-That the indie
pendent Norwegian government is pre-
pared to ask official recognition from
the United States and that special en-
voys have been in this country for
some time looking over the ground as
private citizens prior to the assump-
tion Of the diplomatic powers with
which they havo been invested, dcvel-
oped today with the return from New
York of F. Hermann Gade, mayor of
Lake Forest, Ill. Mayor Gade is an
active worker for an international
status for Norway. He has been for
the last ten days in conference with j.
Irgens, a special Norwegian envoy,
who few years ago was secretary of
the Norwegian-Sw commission
that treated and dealt with the con-
sular question. The conference in
cluded Christian Hauge, who, up to
the time Of his resignation month ago,
was the charge 'affaires and secretary
of the Norwegian-Swedish legation at
Washington. After consultations with
such eminent international authorities
as Professor Moore Of Columbia univer.
sity and John w. Foster, an informal
document was drawn up for presenta
tion to the state department to serve
as Efeeler' for the official document
which may be expected to follow.

Of Mrs. Hoffman, and her baby, who
were found lying on the ruins Of the

could be found and that was almost
all unrecognizable mass.
So with all taken out later-nothing
but the charred bones were found and
some metal trinkets by which they
were identified.
Hunt made his escape, but went
back, probably to assist some Of the
people on the third floor and was cut
off by the flames. Engineer Cook
jumped from the second floor, landed
on the brick wall, fractured his skull
and was taken to the hospital, where
he died at about 8 CLOCK.
Express Messenger johnson was
from Owatonna, where his people live.
He had been on the Wabasha run about
six weeks. Rebecca Hammond was Of
Nelson, Wis, and had been employed at
the hotel but short time. Miss
Stampschror has been employed for
about three years. The hotel was built
eight years ago at a cost Of about $4,000
and has been run as a hotel for five
years with good patronage.

CARLTON HELD AS
A MODERN B0RGIA
Brooklyn Prisoner Viewed as
Wife Prisoner of the Hoch
Type.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, July 1s.-Amazing dis
coveries were made today by the Brook
Ign authorities in the search for evil
dence to connect Edward G. Carlton
with the deaths of his two BROOKLYN
wives.
If the suspicious entertained by the
relatives of the dead woman and the
coroner prove true, the slayer is al
legged to have taken step beyond the
most extravagant imagination of novel
lists and to have outdone the operations
of Johann Hoch, the so-called Chicago
"Bluebeard.' ...',
Tt is suspected the coroner
voiced the suspicion-that cat was
inoculated with certain deadly virus
that produced disease known among
sailors as "farcy,' and that the virus
of the sick animal was injected into
the blood of the second wife of Carl
ton. She died in the Long Island col
tlege hospital on March 10, tetanus hav-
ing resulted from mysterious infec-
ton of her right arm. -. .-'
Only a few months before. another
wife died in similar manner in Wash
ington. The parents of both women
have long asserted that murder was
done.
The startling fact that the man held
technically on charges Of Withholding
500 belonging to Charles Schaub, ma
chinist at the Brooklyn navy yard, had,
within two weeks after his second
woman who, few months before, was
Mrs. Cartoons bridesmaid, was even
less surprising than the development
that Carlton. from letters found in his
| trunks, appeared to have enmeshed in
his dark schemes Miss Eleanor Vande.

Carlton met Miss Vanderventer short
ly after his failure to win the heart OF
Miss Marie Breslin, the bridesmaid al
Mamie German s marriage.
Soon afterward he insured her life
for $4,000, making himself the bene
fciary. Carlton told her he would mar
ry her, but that it was too soon after
his first wife's death.
Miss Breslin says Carlton possessed
a strange power Of hypnotism. She say

GRAFT GERM BITES
CANADIAN S0L0NS
Scheme for Filling Pockets of Par.
Lament s Members Is Lobbied
Thru House.
Special to The Journal.

Ottawa, Ont, July 1S.-Particulars
were disclosed today which tend to show
that practically every member Of par
Lament gets a rake off and that retro
active benefits are conferred on defunct
Canadian politicians. This arrangement
has been reached by. an agreement be-.
tween the two parties irrespective of
public interests. It shows more plainly
than ever that parliament is after all
little better than a social club when
such schemes for stuffing the pockets
of each member can be lobbied thru
without single protest from even
those members most closely identified
with popular interests
The recent tussle over the Vancou-
yer and Victoria railway bill, where
votes were openly bought and sold by
rival corporation interests, and where
those interests. backed by the Grand
Trunk and the Canadian Northern, fn-
larger sum than that now voted must
be apportioned to place the individual
members Of parliament beyond tho
temptation Of graft.
Resolutions increasing the salaries Of
members and judges are printed today
in the notes and proceedings Of the
house. The increases in detail are az
$4,000, increase $4,000; salary Of
leader of opposition, additional session
allowance Of 81 900; senators and mem
bers' seasonal indemnity, $4,000, in

allowed
It is provided also that every mem

ceive pension Of $500.
The salaries of the superior court
judges Of Ontario and Quebec are in
creased by 81 800, and those of the in

the storthing does not recede from

The Question Referred.
AS the cables have already told you
the question at this point, so far as the
riksdag is concerned, has been referred
to special joint committee, which is
considering it in secret session. It is
worthy Of note that under the Swedish
constitution, which is Of very ancient
origin in some Of its provisions, an eff
fective device has been provided tc
prevent such deadlocks between the
house and senate as we have in the
bers find themselves unable to agree
on any measure joint vote is taken
AS the lower chamber has 230 mem

The Tone of the Press.
The tone Of the Stockholm press al

SPRING TRADE IS LIGHT
BAD WEATHER CUTS INTO MER-

New York, Feb. 1s.-Bradstreets of today
says:
Cold, stormy weather, the most severe and
widely distributed in some respects Of the win
ter has had depressing effect on the trade
at Wholesale and retail, and has dsorganized
railroad transportation in some sections, and
thereby interfered with various lines of indus
try, such coal mining, coke and iron manu-
featuring and shipping, heretofore active.
Relatively the worst effects on opening spring
trade are noted in the northwest and west. but
the southwest and south have suffered severely,
and the east and northeast have felt the effect
in only q slighter degree. The result Is a cur
tailment Of the activities of statesmen over a
wide area, which, taken in conjunction with the
occurrence Of holiday in many states, has
reduced the weeks trade to very small pro-
portions.
Despite this drawback. however, some favor.
