At the age of seventy-eight, after
having seen two generations rise and
pass away; former Governor of Ne
vada, mine owner of great wealth,
a United States Senator for eighteen
years, William NJ. Stewart for long
known as the "Santa Claus of the

Only one aphorism is known to have

the late Orville III. Platt. Senator in
Congress from Connecticut for a quar-

great statesmen of our time and coun-
try 1t was this:
ours is government of parties by
parties for the people,"
1t was by this rule that the fine old
Yankee squared his vote at the polls
and in the Senate. 1t guided his
thought and action. 1t accounted for
his partisanship, which, though never
offensive, was always robust.

MOROCCAN AGITATION
FRENCH AND GERMAN OFFICIALS
CONFER OVER AGREEMENT.

PARIS, June 14.-Premier Rouvier and
dor, today resumed their conferences at the
foreign office relative to Morocco The
tendency of the negotiations Is toward Sc
curing direct agreement between France
and Germany before determining the ques-
tion of an international conference
Later NJ. Rouvier received other diplo-
mats, including Mr.. Mccormick. the Amer
lean ambassador. The latter also met Dr.
Motono. the japanese minister, and infor-
mally discussed the far eastern situation,
which, however, has not yet developed
phases requiring active negotiations here.
The long interview had with President
Roosevelt last night by NJ. Jusserand, the
French ambassador. related, for the most
part, 1t can be said, to the institution OF
reforms in Morocco. AS the ambassador
indicated Immediately after the conference
the subject of the pending peace negotla-
tions was discussed only informally and al
no considerable length.
The Moroccan question, which has become
acute In Europe, and in the circumstances
is of supreme Importance to France, > has
been considered by the United States IN tie
light of our friendly relations with the
French Republic Assurance is given that
President Roosevelt has taken no irrevoc-
able stand on the question, but. while the
views of this government have been ex-
pressed he is inclined to await the action
of France Whether the determination of
France was communicated to the President
at the conference last night could not be
ascertained.

DOCUMENT REFERRED UNANI-
MoUSLY TO SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
New Norwegian Regime Welcomed
Message as Presaging Confir1na-
ton of Dissolution of Sweden.

CHRISTINA, Norway, June liking
Norwegian storthng, M. Berner, defining
his position, cabled to the Associated
Press yesterday evening, read in the
storthing. which was crowded at its open
ing this morning after the Whitsuntide re-
cess. The document was referred unan-
imously to a special committee without
comment and the storthing adjourned to
await the committees report There was
no demonstration whatever. The Associa t.
ed Press understands that short reply
will be sent reaffirming the constitutional
rights of the storthing.
The government of Norway and the mem
bers of the storthing welcomed the mes
sage, seeing in the last paragraph an in
dication that the king and the riksdag will
probably confirm the dissolution of the
union after reafrmation of the conten-
tion that the union could not be dissolved
without the consent of Sweden and King
Oscar.
A member of the storthng commenting
on the bitter feeling in Sweden, said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press:
''Aristocratic Sweden is always inclined
to look down on democratic Norway. The
Swedes resent what they consider our au-
dacity in initiating a dissolution and de-
throning the king. The latter has always
been Influenced by the atmosphere as the
nobility of Sweden and seldom visited Nor
Inclined to consider the rights of the throne
paramount to those of the constitution
which, however, is not the case in Nor

OFFER TO PLEAD GUILTY.
Proposition Said to Have Been Made
by George w. Beavers.

1t is stated on what Is believed TO be good
authority, verified today. that If the pro-
posal made to the government on behalf of
George w. Beavers, former chief OF the
division of salaries and allowances OF the
Post Office Department, is accepted, Bea-
vers will plead guilty, receive a moderate
sentence and begin his term of imprison-
ment at once.
The officials of the Department OF JUS
tice decline to discuss the matter, but II
can be stated positively that several weeks
ago Beavers attorneys approached the Of
f1cials and sounded them on the proposal
Those charged with the prosecution passed
the matter up to the Attorney General.
Probably 1t will be decided after Mr.. Moody
has an opportunity to put the case before
the President
In behalf OF Beavers 1t Is contended that
he has so far put the government to little
expense as compared with the protracted
fight made by Machen, with its attendant
costs In witness fees. etc. His only opposi-
ton to the government has been, so his at
torneys hold, his effort to prevent his re-
moval to Washington for trial. Now he is
willing to come forward. throw up his
hands, plead guilty and take his medicine
expecting in return a dose that viii not
be too severe. 1t is understood that II this
pre- posal is accepted. Beavers will receive
a sentence certainly not longer than four
years. but probably only two.

TRANSFER AT CHERBoURG.
Arrangement for the Embarkation o,
John Paul Jones' Remains.

AS result Of cable correspondence be-
tween the officials in Washington and Paris
1t has been decided that the remains of
Commodore John Paul Jones shall be en-
barked on the United States squadron,
commanded by Rear Admiral Sigsbee, in
the harbor of Cherbourg instead of at
Havre, as was originally intended. The
change was made because the harbor of
Cherbourg is considered much more suitable
for the purpose than that Of Havre.
The date Of embarkation and of the de-
parture of the squadron for the United
States will be determined by Rear Admiral
Sigsbee after he reaches the French port
and confers with the officials In charge Of
the transfer of the remains from the French
capital, where they now lie In state. 1t is
understood that the remains will be taken
from Paris down the Seine on a French
warship. and that the vessel will be es-
cOrted from Havre at the mouth of the
Seine TO the port of Cherbourg by a fleet of
French men-of-war.

TOBACCO TRUST SCORED.
Mi. E. j. Slattery's Address Before
Mill Workers Union

At a largely attended meeting of the
Mil Workers Union at 110S E street north
west last night an address on the labor
situation and the so-called tobacco trust
was delivered by Mr. E. ]. Slattery of Bos-
ton. Mass.
On being introduced he said, in the
course of long and earnest address, that
during the past twenty years I'VE have
witnessed sound, healthy growth and
development in trade organizations; a
growth and development that has con-
V1nced many of your enemies and also
many leading men in all walks of life of
the general value of trades unions And
were 1t not for these trades unions of to-
day the corporations and trusts would
make industrial serfs of the great body
OF the American people.
But, continued the speaker, for
tonately for the toiling masses, organized
labor stands between the trusts and the
people, and politely but firmly informs. the
greedy captains of industry and kings of
finance that they must give the people a
square deal against the greed and avarice
of criminal combines"
Organized labor, said Mr.. Slattery looks
to President Roosevelt, with absolute faith
in his integrity and full confidence in his
honesty of purpose.
Mr.. Slattery scored Secretary of the Navy
Paul Morton, declaring that he had
awarded to the tobacco trust a contract for
10000 pounds of tobacco for the navy, and
at the same time charged Mr.. Morton with
violating certain rules of the Navy De-
partment.
"As result" he added, 1.-The American
navy will for the first time be served with
non-union, trust-made tobacco"
After severely arraigning the tobacco
trust, in common with other trusts, the
speaker called upon organized labor to take
a firm stand against all such combines.
A controversy has been in progress for
some time between the independent to-
bacco manufacturers and the others known
as "the tobacco trust" The recent action
Of Secretary Morton is believed to have
revived this controversy.
