SWEDISH LABOR
WANTS NO WAR
Union Declares That Members
Will Not Take Up Arms
Against Norway.

STOCKHOLM, June 14-The atti-
tude Of the laboring classes is likely
to prove potent factor in overcoming
any possible disposition on the part
Of section Of the riksdag to suggest
the adoption of coersive measures to-
wards Norway and in influencing the
chamber in favor Of accepting the dis
solution Of the union Of Norway and
Sweden. Swedish labor unions are
daily telegra phing to Norwegian unions
saying they will refuse to take up arms
and the Social Democratic party has
issued a proclamation to the working
classes reading:
1T becomes more apparent daily
that the upper classes and reactionary
newspapers are attempting to cultivate
the sentiment hostile to Norway with
the view to calling the people to arms
against her in her struggle for liberty"
The proclamation says it is the firm
decision Of the workingmen not to re-
spond to call to arms and asserts
that they intend to go out on a strike
over the whole country if the riksdag
comes to such a decision. In conclu-
sion the proclamation calls upon the
laboring classes throughout Sweden to
manifest their opinion Of the situation
at public meetings.
CHRIST1ANIA, Norway, June a.
King Oscars long letter to the presi-
! cent of the Norwegian Storthing, M.
| Berner, defining his position, as cabled
to the Associated Press yesterday
evening" was read in the storthing
which was crowded at it's opening this
morning after the Whitsuntide recess.
The document was referred unanimous
ly to special committee without COM
rnent and the storthing adjourned to
await the committees report There
was no demonstration whatever.
The Associated Press understands
that a reply will be sent reaffirm1ng
the constitutional rights Of the stor-
thing. The government of Norway
and the members of the storthing well
coined the message seeing in the last
paragraph an indication that the king
and the riksdag will probably confirm
the dissolution of the union after a
reaff1rmation of the contention that
the union could not be dissolved with
out the consent Of Sweden and King
Oscar. :.
member Of the storthing comment
ing on the bitter feeling in Sweden
said to the correspondent Of the AS.
ISOLATED Press:
"Aristocratic Sweden is always in
clined to look down on democratic Nor
way. The Swedes resent what they
consider our audacity in initiating a
solution and dethroning the king. The
latter always has always been influence
ed by the atmosphere of the nobilit.
Of Sweden and seldom visited Norway
The Swedish upper chamber too, is in
clined to consider the rights of thu
throne paramount to those Of the con
stitution, which. however, is not tn
case in Norway.

A few mornings ago. there was rurnor
that lady had been delivered Of five
babies at. birth-four boys and one
girl. The statement seemed incrediable
at first, but upon ascertaining the
truth of it on the following day, an en-
terprising reporter was notified of the
fact, and despatched to the scene of
the calamity. He rather overdid the
thing. He was instructed to ask such
questions as he thought would produce
answers interesting to the public and
here is the report Of his interview:

questions. She referred me for further

Fight to n Finish Between Trusts and
 IudeDendents,

Peoria, H., Jan. Swallowing a gen. oral order which was issued from the headquarters in New York tonight. all the distilleries under the management of the so-called whiskey trust will quote goods in the morning at $1.22 as basis price of the finished product. This is the lowest price in many years and is a drop of one cent from the quotations which have been given out during the past few weeks.
 The cut in prices by the trust houses means another stab at the independ- ents, though it is expected they will meet the reduction, and the rivalry for business, which has resulted in much lower prices the last few months, promises to end in the bitterest kind of a war between the organizations familiarly known as the Trusts and the Independents.
 The managers of the trust houses here have given it out that they are in the fight for good and that they in- tend to put the prices lower yet, if necessary. The independents have also declared themselves and say that they propose to keep in the race.
 Owing to quarrel over prices some two monthS ago the quotations for whiskey were refused on the Peoria board of trade. Neither side has since been able to get their goods 1uoted As the government tax is $1.10, it can be seen that the prices are getting about down to the cost of the goods.

SLUMP IN COTTON AS
 EXPLAINED BY FARMERS
Planters are ofthe Opinion That the Decline Was Brought About by Figure Juggling and
 the Gamblers in Futures.
BY WILL T. SIBERIAN.

A staUsucaI panic prvuSnL on py speculaliye gamDlersA-tnls IS the Southern farmers view or cotton at D cents and the pnenomenai slump that lowered it from its nign station.
 Ana TOT the once the ooutnern cotton planter IS hgntlng DacK vigorously an4 inlelilgentIy. Inc South s nnanclai VI riIlty and vitality is giving nm com fort and sustenance in his ngnt. The Southern cotton planter proposes 70 do two things to bring cotton back to a place of esteem ana respect, nrsL 10 hoid all the cotton that can De neto and, second, to reduce all the acreage that can be reduced.
 The advice that is going out to the farmer, the word that is being passed from farmer to farmer Is Hold your cotton and hold it out of sight. Hold it at your homes and don't bring 1t into the towns. But whatever you do, hold your cotton"
 The Artificial Price.
 The view of a conservative, thought- full farmer was expressed by Charles l.. Matthews, one of the largest land own CTS of Montgomery County. Six cents is an artificial price for cotton. 1t does not matter if 12,O00.0o0 bales were raised this year-the price is artificial and speculative. It is a speculative price just as 16 cents year ago was an abnormal and unnatural price"
 What the Southern farmer believes and believes deeply Is that the bears, helped by the reports of a phenomenal crop Lave made d killing, successful raid on the market.
 The bears. they believe, have won their victory by wind and noise, by shouts and the beating of tom-toms. It is not a permanent victory. but 1t will be permanent victory if the cot ton now in the South is turned loose upon the market. But that Is just what the thoughtful farmers want to prevent

How Port Arthur Got Food.

 The medium m-sized northern Chinese junks make first-class blockade run ners. They are built very low in the water. with the decks almost awash when loaded, so that only the bow and stern rise noticeably above the water line. They are strong, flat-bottomed and of unpainted dirty wood, with nc bright colors about them. Propelled by from ten to twenty oarsmen. If the sails fail,, they glide through the water with no noise or smoke, and are very diffi- cult of detection. Dodging along the shore and among the numerous islets which extend from the Shan-tu pen insula across the mouth of Pechili Gulf they closely resemble the low, brown rocks, and during the past months hun dreds of them have evaded the Japanese watchers and carried tons of fresh pro- visions and vegetables to the beleaguer- ed Port Arthur garrison.
