Lodz, Feb. 13.-The governor, in an
Interview with the correspondent OF
the Associated Press, said:
My official reports from Sosnovice
show that thirty-three@ persons were
killed and thirty-siX wounded, eighteen
of whom We're seriously hurt, in the
conflict at the katherinen iron works
on Thursday. The trouble began when
a large body OF striking miners tried
to force the furnace men Of the iron
works to put out the fires and join the
strike. The mob became violent,
broke down fence and forced an
entrance into the works, which were
guarded by two companies OF infantry.
The officers ordered the crowd to leave
but they refused. Suddenly striker
drew a large knife and rushed at an
officer. The soldiers then fired on the
mob, which Immediately fled, leaving
the dead and wounded"
The governor added that no other
shooting had been reported and that
quiet had been restored in the city.
There are $4,000 men on strike in the

NORWEGIAN PETITION
ENDORSED BY HANSBR0UGH
By w, w, Jermane.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Some time
ago the Norwegian residents of Bot
tineau county, North Dakota, held a
mass meeting at which they adopted
resolutions favoring the recognition by
America of the new government of Nor-
way. These resolutions were trans
mitted to Senator Hanbrough, who has
now sent them On to the president at
Oyster Bay. In a letter to the presi-
dent. accompanying the resolutions,
senator Hansbrough says: =
Dear Mr.. President:
The enclosed petitions signed by the
Norwegian residents of Bottineau. county,
N. D., in mass meeting assembled. were
forwarded to me with the request that I
present them to you. In doing so permit
me to say that I have every confidence
in the earnestness and sincerity of the
petitioners.
On July 10 last was present by invi-
tationo at a largely-attended state meet
Ing of North Dakota Norwegfans, and
having heard there a recital in detail of
the reasons adduced by the Norwegian
people in favor OF the erection of an in
dependent government, my own personal
belief is that the movement is based upon
just grounds
And now that Norway herself, follow
ing Swedish suggestion, has taken the
Judgment of her people on the vital
question and has declared by practically
a unanimous vote for separation, I am
sure that this liberty-loving nation of
ours will approve the recognition, by you,
of the independence Of Norway whenever
her properly accredited representatives
shall present themselves.
Senator Hansbrough is at present at
Atlantic City, where he will remain for
a week or ten days longer, when he
will on RI North 10 ~ =,
until the latter part of October. His
headquarters while in the state will be
at Grand Forks, as at that place he
will be more readily accessible than at
his home in Devils Lake. Mrs. Hans
brough's condition does not improve
as fast as her friends could wish. The
senator's health has also been rather
below par for some time, which ex-
plains his presence at the seashore.

AGREEABLE SURPRISE COMING
Optimistic Reports Received from
Paris Today.

Paris, Aug. 2s.-The diplomats and
officials today in discussing the pros
poets at Portmouth, displayed evident
anxiety. Nevertheless there was an
impression that an agreeable surprise
awaits the world when the critical
moment arrives for the plenipoten-
tiaries to give their final answer for
peace or war.
Both Of the belligerents are consid-
cred to be ardently DESTROYS of peace,
even at the expense Of sacrifices. The
signature of the amended alliance be-
tween Great Britain and Japan three
weeks ago is regarded as largely gov
erning Japan g attitude relative to CON
cessions. The exact terms Of the new
treaty are not known here, but the
diplomats are aware that some Of the
clauses Of the original treaty have
been greatly modified and that others
have been extended.
" It is considered probable that Great
Britain before signing insisted that
hestilities be concluded as soon as pos
sible, and the knowledge of this pres
sure on Japan, it is added, causes Rus
STA to hold out with the hope Of secur-
ing further relaxation of her adverse
ry s. conditions before agreeing to the
peace she herself fervently seeks.

This Bit of Hardware.
New York Sun Special Service. -
Chicago, Aug. >28.-Walter Wellmann,
in a Portsmouth special to the Record
Herald, says the postponement OF the
peace conference until Tuesday means
that peace is still in sight. He says:
"We now have the key to the whole
situation. Five days ago peace was
absolutely assured, provided both par
ties to tacit agreement kept faith.
Now peace, tho still probable, is much
less certain, because one Of the parties
did not keep faith. 49,. -
By trick and sudden reversal of at
titude, Russia has placed Japan on the
defensive and put her into an uncom-
Portable and well-nigh untenable cor
"The Japanese have been manell-
vered into a position where all their
other demands have been accepted or
withdrawn, leaving absolutely nothing
standing in the way Of the peace but
the demand for money. Japan is thus
forced to stand before the world as
for only one object-money.
HThe Russians believe the public
opinion Of the world will not support
Japan in this. They believe that if
Japan forces the war to go on, all CIV
ilization will condemn the Japanese for
trying to collect money thru the she'd
ding Of blood. -.. u....s..
Realizing their advantage, knowing
they now possess the whip hand. the
Russians are determined to make the
most Of it. -.
"This explains why the attitude of
Russia at this conference has undergone
a most remarkable change since last
Monday and Tuesday-a change front
fair negotiations thru Cancellation to al
most reckless, even if not sincere,
threats to break up the conference.
1T explains why the agreement
made a week ago by both parties to
offer mutual concessions, and thus as
sure the signing of a treaty of peace
has been repudiated by Russia, even at
the risk Of complete rupture.
again, if they carry out their program,
and the Russians declare absolutely that
they have no proposal to make. They
are done. Their declarations arc made
ostentationsly. They want everyone to
know they are utterly Indifferent as to
the outcome. +.

everyone in the hotel is permitted to
know it.. Mr.. White has wired to New

everyone is permitted to know it.
"Never before in great internation-
al peace conference was there such bold
and bald and relentless, even reckless,
hammering Of an adversary to induce
him to weaken and to abandon most of
his remaining demands. Beaconsfeld s
special train for Berlin, designed to in
timidate Bismarck, is the only adequate
precedent. The Russians figure like
this:
If the Japanese stand firm and 90

shall have them pilloried before the
world. They W i'll lose their moral posi-
