court to decide whether the Norwegian
forts have been sufficiently dismantled

pastures etc.; the fourth with inter-

terways, the usual international rules
of government being provided in the
last two cases.
King Oscar binds himself, when the
riksdag and the storthing have accept
ed the agreement, to rescind the act Of
union and declare Norway an indie
pendent state.
The people of Norway are enthusiast
tica4ly discussing the subject of new
form of government, and a plebiscite
is probable.
Notwithstanding that preparations
are going forward for elections to the
coming national assembly, radical de
mands again have been made by the
zemstvo congress at Moscow and by
the mobiles of st. Petersburg. These de-
mands include equality of rights fol-
all, real parliament and all the guar
antees of liberty which are contained
in the American Declaration OF hide
pendence Disorders continue in the
Caucasus, and rigorous measures have
been resorted to in Finland, where the
governor was said to have resigned on
account Of the threats on his life.

Cuban Moaerates Victorious.
A complete victory for the Moderate
party of Cuba was scored in the presi
Dental primary election for boards O.
registry. This is the party headed b.
President Palma. Many Of the oppo-|
Sition party, known as Liberals, say
they refrained from voting because of
police threats The government had
public buildings at Cienfuegos The
Liberal party is headed by General
Jose Miguel Gomez, governor of Santa
Clara There is now a Liberal ma
jority in the house Of representatives |
and very narrow majority of Mod,
crates in the senate. There was much
talk on all sides of civil war between
the adherents of Palma and Gomez in
case the Liberal candidate should moi |
be elected and seated
Later it was announced that Gener
al Gomez had resigned his candidacy
and asked that the Liberals cease fight
ing in his favor. He deemed it useless
to oppose the government, whose tri
umph was complete. He does not want
the responsibility Of bringing on war.
German Socialists to Strike.
The Socialist congress at Jena, Ger
many, has adopted Herr BebeFs reso
luton declaring that, inasmuch as all
political parties in Germany are seek
ing to hinder the growth Of socialism
by restricting manhood suffrage and
the secret ballot, the Socialists were
justified in organizing all workers for
a general strike. BebeI said that Iber-
alism in Germany WAS hopelessly dead
He warned the kaiser that the army
reserves and all Of the working classes
would be found in the ranks OF the So
eial Democracy.
