MAD WITH BERGH.
Swedish Papers Think He Showed Dis
 respect for King oscar.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-The state de- partment has been supplied with cop ies of newspapers published In Gothep- burg, Sweden, attacking the American consul there, Robert s. s. Bergh. be- cause of alleged failure on his part to show proper respect for King Oscar on the occasion of his birthday anni- versary.
 The Aftonblad. one of these newspa- pers, charged that the flags of their countries were hoisted by every for eign consul in the town except by. MT. Burgh. This caused much remark and townspeople who inquired whether King oscar had in any way offended President Roosevelt that he had order ed his consul to refrain from joining in the celebration. The papers calls attention to the fact that MT. Bergh Is Norwegian by birth, but does not think that he Is thereby excused in view of the position he occupies. Sec- retary Loomis has decided to call upon Mir. Burgh for an explanation.
