Demonstration OF Loyalty.
(By the Associated Press }

Stockholm, June 8.-Inhabitants of
Stockholm to the nu1lber of several
thousand assembled in front of Rosen-
dial Castle this evening and made a
demonstration of their loyalty to and
affection for King Oscar. His Males
ty, accompanied by Queen Sophia,
Crown Prince Gustave and other MEM
bers of the royal family, appeared on
a balcony of the castle and was greet
ed by the national anthem, which was
sung by the enormous crowd, accom-
panied by a brass band.
The King listened to q short address
to which he replied in voice loud and
clear but shaken by emotion. His
Majesty assured his subjects of his
deep gratitude for their demonstra-
lions of love and in conclusion said:
Long live our ancient, glorious and
loyal country, so good and so dear.
Long live Sweden"
Thunderous cheers greeted the close
of the speech. The King then called
for cheers for "our beloved grandson,
Prince Gustave Adolphus' (who is to
marry Princess Margaret of Con-
naughty which were heartily given.
The national anthem was repeated
and a march past followed which last
ed until late hour, the crowds inces-
sanity acclaiming King Oscar as they
passed under the balcony King Os-
cars attitude meets with complete APP
proval, and although hopes are ex-
pressed that the powers will delay re-
cognizing the new kingdom, and al
though the interval before parliament
meets here may give an opportunity
for some compromise to be arranged,
it is generally believed that the separa-
ton will be peacefully consumated.
Then the only points of interest will be
as to what form the government Nor
way will adopt and as to the question
of defense against Russia for which
an offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Norway and Sweden is consid-
cred essential.

Gus condition, but refuses to tell the

There was q meeting of the union
tonight which Joyce attended. How
the shooting occurred, and who did it
has not yet been definitely determined.
AS none of the members of the union
would disclose the name of the man
who fired the shot at Joyce, the police
decided to lock up all the men found
in the meeting room, and hold them
until they learn who did the shoot
ing. The members, at the meeting
were examined separately, and while
some of them admitted that they
knew who did the shooting they re-
fused to tell who did it.

zemstvos Demand Consolation.
(By the Associated Press

ST Petersburg, June 9.-1:50 a. m.
The voice of the delegates of the
Zemstvos and the municipalities de-
handing in no uncertain tone the i'm
mediate cOnvocation of a national
meeting to pass upon the question of
peace or war, to heal internal strife
and to unite the people for the re-
juvenation of Russia, will be heard in
the address adopted by the all-Russian
Zemstvo Congress at Moscow, which a
deputaton headed by Count Hayden
and NJ Shipoff is bringing to present
to the Emperor. The document bids
fair to become historic. The CUSTOM
airy phrases of respect at the opening
and the closing are omitted, and it is
otherwise unceremonious, employing
the direct personal pronoun.
The address arraigns the bureau
cracy and reminds the Emperor that
his pledge to convoke a national as
sembly is slow of fulfilment. 1t says
the country is on the verge of civil
war, and even ventures to criticise a
royal measure. The address urges the
summoning of a national assembly
that the war may become national.
There is intense interest to learn
whether the Emperor will receive the
bearers of SO bold a message.

Mr.. Benn, in his address on "Muz-

ganization of the so-called Quay ma
chine" and the events leading up to
the passage of the Pennypacker law.
He blamed Mr.. Quay for this severe
law, declaring that it was Quay's gov.
ernor that instigated it. He closed by
saying there never was a Quay OF
Pennypacked born who could form or
invent a measure that would restrict
the liberty of the press or hamper it
in it's constitutional right of public ut

desire unsmirched biographies; tell
them to leave behind them records

THEEXCURSION CITY
Raleigh is an Ideal Place
For These.
Some Plans Suggested That Will Add
Greatly to the Reputation and
the Charms of the
Capital.

That Raleigh is an ideal excursion
city is acknowledged and the growing
years show this plainly People from
all sections like to come to the Capital
of the State, to see its beautiful
streets, to enjoy its shady parks, and
to visit its places of historic and pres
ent interest
But there are a few things that
ought to be done in Raleigh, and there
is a whisper that these are to be done,
as they are things which will render
the story of visitors far more pleas
ant, and with but little expense to the
city
Women, girls and little children
coming to Raleigh on these excursions
need more attention than that which
comes by chance and there is chance
to give this in one line. There are
some vacant rooms in the Capitol
building which could very properly
be used for the comfort of these WISH
tors. and the city could well afford
to put q woman in charge of these
rooms. Certain it is the State officers
would cooperate in this for the Visi-
tors are people of the State.
And then the city could easily detail
some of it's police force as guides for
the visitors, who at certain hours
might meet together and go on a
sightseeing tour of the city. This
would cost nothing and would be APP
preciated even the police-guide getting
pleasure out Of the trip.
Let us do these things, and others
that suggest themselves to make Rail
eigh stand first as a centre of interest
and courtesy. If we arrange these
plans, and then notify places over the
State, we shall see numbers of excur-
sions here every week. Mr.. Governor
Glenn, Mr.. Mayor Johnson, what say
you?

(Rv the Associated Press

Washington, June 8.-The Car has
at last been heard from here, and the
result is not unfavorable to peace. In
his recent audience with Mr.. Meyer,
the American ambassador. the Gar
indicated a willingness to take under
advisement the subject of peace and
expressed warm appreciation of the
friendly words of Mr.. Meyer, speak
ing as the personal envoy of the Pres
ident. The reception of Mr.. Meyer
was characterized by the greatest cor
diality and friendliness and the am
bassador's cablegram to the President
giving a general account of the au-
dience is of a distinctly hopeful tone.
Mr. Meyer did not bring to the ST.
Petersburg government an offer of
mediation but a friendly offer of
good WILL" as it was described by
Count Cassini, which apparently was
gratifying to the Car. Further than
this it is impossible to record the
character of the cablegram.
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minis
ter, called by appointment at the
White House this afternoon and spent
an hour with the President. He was
still unable to give the President the
slightest indication regarding Japan's
peace terms, but it is believed he was
acquainted i'm a general way with the
hopeful tone of Mr.. Meyers dispatch,
and with this as lever the hope is
expressed here that the Mikado will
meet the President half way in the
earnest efforts he is making to assist
i'm bringing about an early peace.
Later in the afternoon Sir Mortimer
Durand, the British ambassador, saw
the President and tonight Baron
Speck Won Sternburg, the German am
bassador. was at the White House.
None of the callers would discuss
the visits and 1t can be stated that
with the exception of the call of Mr..
Takahira, none of these visits was of
great Importance. 1t is not expected
that the situation will change radi-
cally i'm the next day of two. Until
some indication comes from Japan of
her attitude in the light of the spirit
shown by the Gar the negotiations
can hardly be expected to progress.
Meantime powerful, though friendly
influence is being brought to bear on
Japan to be moderate in her demands.
These hopes have not yet been real
lied, although information has been
received that Great Britain will well
come peace 1t is still hoped, how
ever, that some assistance from that
quarter may yet be forthcoming.
Berlin and Paris are both giving loyal
assistance to the efforts initiated in
Washington and the result of Berlin's
activity is already being felt.

but their character is not known.

dor, called at the French embassy to-
