ALL HANGS ON THE FORTS
Nansen and Wallenburg Say Neihe]
Country Wants Trouble.

London, Sept. 14.-Dr. Nansen,. the
Arctic explorer who recently has been
so active in Norwegian politics, and
Captain Gustaf @. Wallenburg. mem
Der of the Swedish riksdag, who are
in London, declared today that their
respective countries desired nothing but
a peaceful outcome Of the present crisis
and appeared to be hopeful of a sat
isfactory outcome Of the negotiations.
Both agreed that the question of the
demolition of the forts would be the
only possible cause of a rupture.
DR.. Nansen said Norway was willing
to give up the new forts near the from
tier, but strenuously opposed the de-
mand that the new portions of the old
fortresses of Fredricksten and kongs-
vinger should be demolished, leaving
nothing but historic ruins. This ques-
ton, which is now before the confer
ence Norway regards as constituting a
critical stare, as Norway would sooner
ffht than give up the old fortresses.
Kongsviger is far from the frontier and
is important for the defense of the CAPT
tai Norway does not menace the Swe-
dish frontier, and with the exception
of Fredricksten, Norway is willing to
WELD the outer line of Notifications
DR.. Nansen added that it was quite
untrue that Norway had been prepar.
ing for war. At the present moment
she had not more than 5000 men under
arms, and only few ships ready. Such
an absurd folly as war seemed impossi

PASSES MADE AN
ISSUE IN NEBRASKA
Interest in Question Overshadows
Nominations to Be Made by
Republicans.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 14.-The Nebras-
ka republican state convention met TO-
day with a large attendance, and the
prospects for interesting sessions, owing
to the agitation against railroad passes,
which has been sweeping the state. So
great is the interest taken in this ques
tion that it promises to overshadow the
primary work Of the convention, which
is the nomination of one candidate for
the supreme court and two regents of
the state university.
The antipass agitators were deter
mined that resolutions against the Civ
ing of such favors should be adopted by
the convention this year and that the
question should be positive issue next
year when candidates for the legisla-
ture are named. Those who oppose the
adoption of such q resolution take the
position that it is idle to do so because
the nominees of this convention can
have nothing to do with making an
antipass law.
There is also strong sentiment fol-
a. 2-cent-a-mile passenger fare and fol
a distance freight tariff which will
make 1t impossible for the railroads tc
charge more for a short haul than fol
a long one.

MI Witte' s reply was received today.
Translated it was as follows:
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter dated
Sept. 4th in which you beg me to let you
know my views on the Finnish question,
I have the honor to inform you that the
fate of Finland has always been a sub
! ject of the greatest solicitude to me. II
| is superfiuous to assure you that the Fin

| have a right to protection of the imperial
| government in order to allow of their full
| filling their historic mission, and 1 am
| convinced that the general measures tc
that end which have just been taken by
my august sovereign will not fail to bring
about good results
| I regret that lack of leisure does not
| permit of my reply in extenso to your let
| ter, bat / can assure you that these are
| the beliefs that animate the majority OF
| Russian statesmen.
! Thanking you for your letter, which
have read with the greatest interest, beg
| to sign myself, dear sir sincerely yours,

Yokohama, Sept. IA, 10 a.m.-Troops
rushed here by special train from To-
kio are guarding the foreign consulates,
the European hotels and the churches,
converts and schools belonging to
American and European religious or
CARNATIONS.
: The troops arrived last night, after
night and day Of rloting, which ex-
ceeded in its violence the recent dis
turbances in Toxic.
Beginning at midnight Tuesday and
until Wednesday noon mobs OF coolies,
boatman and men and boys from the
slums held forcible possession of the
streets.
They attacked not only the police
stations and the residences of the Gus
toms and other japanese officials, but
the great commercial houses.
Incendiaries Appear.
The worst feature was the appearance
of hundreds of incendlaries. From some
unknown source the mob had procured
kerosene, with which they saturated po-
| lice kiosks and stations before setting
| them on fire.
| In some cases where the police boxes
were surrounded by troops, scores in the
mob would saturate theft hats with oil,
set fire to them and throw them into
the light, infammable wooden build
ings, setting them in flames.
Hundreds of the men in the crowds
were armed with short iron bars of uni
form pattern, proving that the mob
was not chance assemblage from the
slums, but that it had been carefully
organized and armed for the purpose of
making a demonstration against the
government and resisting the police au-
thorities.
Riot Leaders from Toxic.
| It is understood. that the mob was
organized and the riots instigated by
Z, rioters who came here from Toxic for
the purpose.
Tuesday night great mass meeting
was held at the Empire theater to pro-
test against the terms of the peace
treaty. While the meeting was IN prog
ress infammatory placards were posted
in the slums. The police tore them
down as rapidly as they were put up,
but the incendiary notices were seen
and read by thousands
When the mass meeting adjourned
after passing resolutions denouncing
the terms Of the treaty, the mobs quick
~ formed. 1t was soon after midnight
that the first police box was burned.
| Battle with Police.
Police reserves were hurriedly called
In and stout resistance offered to the
mob. The police used drawn swords,
while the mob was armed with pistols
and swordsticks and iron bars. The
casualties among the police were three
severely wounded and thirty-seven
slightly injured.
Up to noon Wednesday the police
made 1l9 arrests. By that time the
mob had burned eight police stations
and the residences Of the customs Of
fcials.
