HOLM SCOUTS OFFER
OF CROWN.

Stockholm, July 15-The Associated
Press is able to state on good authori-
ty that German-Swedish alliance is
seriously contemplated
The question, it is said, was dis
cussed at a conference between En-
peror William and King Oscar on
board the imperial yacht Hohenzol-
lern at Gefle yesterday. The confer
ence lasted from two to three hours.
King Oscar and his party will re-
main with Emperor William until he
departs from Gef1e this afternoon. Be-
sides Emperor Williams personal
visit, Germany will soon make the
greatest naval demonstration in it's
history in Swedish waters.
On July 20 six battleships will ar
rive at Gothenberg and eight cruisers
at Uddevalla, while on Aug. seven
battleships, ten cruisers and torpedo
boat squadron is due at Stockholm
and Norrkoeping and five battleships
at Karlkrona.
The government has granted these
squadrons permission to enter war
ports.
American In Conference.
Charles r. Flint of New York arrived
yesterday and had a long interview
with Minister of Marine Palander. Mr..
Flint declined to state the object OF
his visit.
The sen,:-offlcial Dagbiad, referring
to the rumor that Prince Charles Of
Denmark may ascend the throne OF
Norway, says:
ut would cause establishment, not
to say worse, if Denmark allied her
self with a country which through rev.
Olution robbed a lawful king of one OF
his thrones"
CONSERVATION in Sweden.
CONSERVATION prevails throughout
the country over the sudden an
nouncement that German armada,
consisting of twelve battleships,
eleven cruisers and ten torpedo boats,
will make a demonstration at five diff
ferent points in Swedish waters. be-
tween July 20 and Aug Z. Gothenburg
and Uddevalla will be visited on the
west and Stockholm. Karlshamn and
Karlskrona on the east and south. No
foreign feet of such proportions ever
came to Sweden before. The DISPOSE
ton of the squadrons will amount to
| blockade of the entire Swedish coast.
1t is not too much to say that this
unexpected and unsolicited visit OF
the kaiser's navy, while not consid-
| cred hostile act, eXcites astonish-
ment bordering on alarm. Nobody,
| not even the government officials. is
able to offer an explanation. The
newspapers refrain from comment be-
cause, as editors confdentially inform
| their correspondents, they are aston
| ished at this fresh outbreak of Will
iam's favorite policy of surprise and
mystification.
| Not Altogether Reassuring.
| If he intends it as token of friend
ship, it is asserted that he has over
done it, and that he ought to have
| chosen more amiable and less dis
| quieting form of amity than girding
Sweden with formidable Gordon of
| German battleships.
| Stockholm was aroused last night
| by the roar of saluting guns in the
inner harbor.
When the smoke cleared. the Ger
man coast defense cruiser Aegir was
found anchored near the palace, hav
ing arrived without notice, notwith
standing that Stockholm ten days age
was officially declared a war harbol
and inaccessible to foreign men OF
war.
Swedish susceptibilities are further
injured by the information that the
German general staff has detailed offi
GERS to investigate the state OF mill
tary preparations in Sweden and Nor
