London, July 27.-The correspond
emit Of the Daily Mail at Stockholm
says:
The object of Emperor William
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
Atlantic.
The Daily Mail, commenting on the
dispatch, suggests that the "rectified
frontier" means that Russia wants to
acquire the strip of Norwegian terri

Arctic ocean, thus gaining seaport.

Kustenj. Roumania July 5.-The
flag of st. Andrew once again floats
over the battleship Kniaz Potemkine
and the torpedo boat which have
proved such terrors TO the Black Sea
communities for a couple of weeks
past. The formal surrender of the
mutinous crews actually occurred al
one o'clock this afternoon after ser
les of discussions and negotiations
between the Roumanian authorities
and the leaders of the mutineers.
The Roumanian officers who board
ed the battleship on her arrival here
called upon the crew TO surrender
I'm which case they would be treated
as foreign desertors, or else leave the
port forthwith. 1t speedily became
apparent that the Russian vessels re-
turned to this port with the intention
of giving themselves up TO Il foreign
government, and the crews soon an
nounced their acceptance of the Rou-
manian terms. The mutineers wanted
to be permitted to take off the treas
uTe which was on board the kniaz
Potemkine but the Romanian author
tiles declined to acquieSce.
The Russians will gradually be con-
veyed 10 any frontier they may Sc
lect and will then be liberated the To-

of the island is too weak to offer an
effective defense.
The japanese fleet covering the
landing of troops on the island con-
sisted of two battleships. seven crui-
sers, three gun boats, thirty-six tor
pedo boats and ten transports loaded
with troops. The japanese landed at
the village of Mere between Chipivan

the Russian detachment of troops NJ
Korsakovsk ordered the coast defense
guns TO be blown up and all the gov
eminent buildings burned before re-
firing.
Though the Japanese seem unwill-
ing To risk a grand battle with Gem
eral Linevitch pending the peace
meeting at Washington the landing Of
troops on Sakhalin is considered To
express Japan's decision regarding
the formal conclusion of a general
armistice, namely. that in the interval
before the meeting il is necessary TO
occupy the island whose possession is
an important card in Japan's diplo-
matte contest at Washington.
