THE REsoURcEFUL FRESHMAN.

Adjt.-Gen. Thomas J. Stewart of
Pennsylvania, who has a reputation
as an orator and story-teller lately
told of an incident which illustrates the
resourcefulness of the average Celt
when confronted With an embarras-
sing situation. The New York Times
relates:
"A young Irishman who had served
an apprenticeship on the rapid transit
lines in New York went to Philadelphia
and secured a situation as conductor
on the Lancaster Avenue line in that
city. He had not been working long
before the management came to the
conclusion that a portion of his daily
collections was finding it's way sur
reptitiously into the pockets of the
conductor. In the vernacular of the
business he was knocking down fares
Accordingly 'spOtter' was put on his
car. The detective took the car at
Second Street and two blocks farther
up a couple more passengers boarded
the car. The suspect collected their
fares and rang the Indicator bell twice.
A block farther on three more passen-
gers got on and three more fares were
rung up. At Tenth street nine men on
their way to work clambered aboard.
L ne conductor cOIecteQ nine fares ana
rang the registry bell eight times.
This was the detectives. opportunity.
Walking to the front end of the car
he scanned the register dial closely,
and then returned to the rear platform,
counting the passengers as he did so.
- .Hows this?' he inquired, with a
jerk of his thumb toward the interior
of the car.
4" 'How's phwat?' inquired the IRISH
man.
g Nine passengers got on, and you
rang UP only eight fares
6 Is thot SOP responded the con-
ductor, elevating his eyebrows with a
| look of innocent surprise. Then, march
ing forward, he ostentatiously counted
! the fares on the big dial, and return
! ing to where the 'spotter was waiting
| for him, exclaimed with a look of in
, Jured innocence in his face:

developments the indications are that
the committee appointed by the team

the difficulty, will be unable to accom-

on J. V. Farwell, representative OF the

requested the employers to grant the
committee a conference in an attempt
20 settle the strike. Farwell informed
the labor men that there was only one
way to settle the trouble and that was
for the strikers to accept the terms
offered BY the employers a week ago.
These terms are so at variance With
what the strikers demand, that the
committee requested Farwell to give
them until today to consider the mat
ter. Mr. Farwell also informed the la

NORWAY TO MEET
WITH sweden
KING OSCAR ADVISES A CONFER
ENcE AT WHICH DETAILS
CAN BE SETTLED.

Stockholm, Sweden, June 22.-The
extraordinary session of the riksdag
summoned by King Oscar to deal with
the momentous question raised by Nor
ways declaration dissolving the union
met for business yesterday. AS fore
casted by the Associated Press the gov
eminent Immediately introduced bill
asking for authorization to enter into
negotiations with the Norwegian
storthing and draw up a conditional
settlement of the question involved in
the separation of the dual kingdom.
The session was opened by King
Oscar in person with the usual cere-
monial. The king made a speech from
the throne, in which he protested
against the charge that by violation OF
the constitution he had provoked the
steps taken by Norway. He said that
the council OF state sanctioned the In
PRODUCTION of the bill in the riksdag
both the king and premier were in
favor OF a pacific solution.
Premier Ramstedt spoke first point.
ing out that it was not to SWedens in
tereSt to resort to coercive measures.
He recommended therefore, entering
into negotiations for convention by
which guarantees should be obtained
conducive to the mutual welfare OF the
two countries. In any case he de
clared negotiations were indispensable
to clear up the situation
The premier suggested that dele,
gates be appointed to this end as it
was only after such a conditional set
Element and after the riksdag had fully
considered the matter that Sweden
would be in a position to decide as to
her definitive approval of the dissolu.
ton and agree to annulling the act OF
Union
After several members had &C.
guessed in the premier's views King
Oscar, with visible emotion, spoke as
follows:
1T is painful step which the coun.
Gil OF state calls on me to take. MY
conscience tells me that have during
my long reign always striven toward
the object | had in mind at the time
OF my accession, namely, the welfare
of the brother peoples. 1t is truly
painful to me to contribute to the dis.
solution Of a union in which thought
| saw the independence, security and
happiness of the united kingdoms Ir
however, | am ready to act thus it is
IN order to avoid still worse evil ana
in the conviction that the union with
out mutual accord would bring no real
advantage to Sweden"
Il have acted" the king said, lin
accordance with my conscience and al
ways in conformity with the constitu-
ton and with the desire to work con-
scientiously for the true welfare of the
two peoples. The bill presented to the
rigsdag does not aim at replying to in
justice by acts of coercion The union
is not worth the sacrifices which acts
OF coercion would entail A union into
which Norway would be forced in such
manner would be of little value to
Sweden
The king concluded with expressing
the nope that the Swedish people
would be guided by calmness and pru-
dence and that God w0eld give them
strength and unity to regain within
their own frontiers what they had lost
by dissolution of the union.
