CRISIS At HAND
IN SCANDINAVIA

CHRISTTANIA, May 2S.-King Oscars 8
veto Of the separate consular law has
created a great sensation as possibly in
volving a dissolution of the union be-
tween Sweden and Norway and perhaps
even International complications. Best
informed Norwegians decline to believe
that there is any danger of Russian in
vasion. centending that if Russia had de-
signs. which they 90 not believe she has,
she would not be deferred in pressing
them bv having to fight both Sweden and
Norway, and that therefore the question
Of a dissolution of the union will have no
effect from an international standpoint.
The Kings decision was given in the
Norwegian Council sitting at Stockholm.
Each member of the Cabinet individually
urged the King 10 sanction the consul
law. When they all had spoken, King
Oscar read a declaration indorsing the
declaration made by the Crown Prince
on April 3 that the matter was solvabie
only by mutual negotiations He added
that ne could not give his assent to the
law because the existing community of
interests in the consular service could
not be abolished without mutual agree
ment. The existing arrangemnt, he said,
was established by a resolution of the
mixed Council and could only be disturb
ed by the mixed Council and his love for
both peoples impelled him to withhold
his sanction.
TIE members Of the Cabinet urgently
protested thar his Majesty's decision was
not only the rejection of a pressing de-
msnd BY the whole of the Norwegian
people but, drawn up as it was in dis
regard Of the Cabinets unanimous ad-
vice and without the advice of any Nor
wesian. it was a breach of the constitu-
ton and a violation of the constitutional
rights, independence and sovereignty of
Norway and would mean dissolution of
The union. No member Of the Norwegian
Government, they said, could indorse
such a decision without from that mo-
ment losing his fatherland.
The members Of the Cabinet having
presented their designations. King Oscar
read his reply, declaring that he could
not accept them as it was clear that nc
other Cabinet could be formed at the
present time The Ministers, however,
declined to withdraw their resignatio
They had beforehand appealed TO the
King to defer action on the matter until
II could be dealt with in the full Council
at Chr.stiania, but the King had an
aounced inability to acquiesce. No pro-
stocof of the proceedings was drawn uI
as the Minister'S all refused to counter
sign one and the Kings veto of the law
therefore is constitutionally non-existent

Twas Only a Wild Pig.

A pig was once in a fair way to
cause war between the United States
and England. 1t ran wild in the Falk-
lard Islands according to London
Truth, which tells the following
story:
Stanley, is where the governor and
a few British reside. The islands
produce grass, turnips and pigs.
These pigs used to be much sought
bv American whaling captains. The
governor always insisted that they
were British property. The captains
insisted that they were wild pigs.
During the Crimean war an Ameri-
can whalec appropriated a pig, and
then put into Stanley. The governor
ciassed the mig as British. and when
the captain refused to give 1t up i'm
prisoned him.
A few days later an American ship
Of war put into Stanley under the
command of Capt. Lynch. The cap
tain. hearing that an American cltl-
zen had been clapped into prison by
ne governor, demanded his release,
asking the governor, if u~nprepared to
comply to remove his women and
children, as the town would be bom-
barded. The governor released his
prisoner, and presumably the pig and
sent an account to the colonial office,
and the British legation at Washing
ton was directed to insist upon an
apology.
Mr.. Marcy, secretary OF state' ex-
blamed that Lynch was nervous be-
cause he had had domestic trouble.
Britain could not accept this excuse,
but dropped the discussion, for with
a war with Russia on her hands 1t
was lust as we'll not to get into not
water with the United States.
Possibly, Truth suggests, the great
international question of the pig IS
still undecided.

WILL REFUSE TO PAY.
TIE Supervisor and Board Viii Re-
fuse To Pay For Raod
Machinery.

Some of the notes given by the SUI
pervisor and county commissioners
some two years ago for the gooa
roads machinery have become due.
The new board. it is understood, has
been advised by the attorney tor the
board, Mr.. F. H. Dominlck. that the
obligation is not legally binding mas
:anuch as the act of the Legislature pos
~:7tively forbids any officials from MAX
ing obligations for which provision
has not been made, and that being the
case, it is understood. the present
board will decline to pay the notes.
The machinery has not been used,
INT of course, that is not the taulth OF
those 'whu sold it. If it could be
properlvrsed and the county had the
funds to operate ii it would be a good
iavestment.
It is expected the company that
sold the machinery will undertake to
force the payment Of the notes n a
law suit will follow.

Newberry is to have an ice factory
and it is to be in operation for the
coming season. Mr.. Thos. +. Mitch
ell. who has been in Newberry for
some time and who is a practical and
a thorough going business man has
the enterprise in hand and will man

from our pure artesian water.
Some of the progressive business
men of Newberry will be interested
in the plant with Mr.. Mitchell and
there is no reason why the enterprise
should not succeed.
The Herald and News is delighted
to see this and all other smaller en-
terprises come to Newberry and
wishes this one much success. The
people will give their patronage to
the ice from the Newberry plant. it
is quite certain, and they should.

who do not really know that the cleo

There are only two candidates ana

The New Law I'd
An Electio]

The act passed by 5hI
OF the legislature provid<
election shall be held on
Tuesday in April for five
one from each ward, who shalS(
plant the present board. The old
provided that the first electio nunder II
should be ordered by the school coln-
missioner, now superintendent OF ed
ucation, and that subsequent elections
should be under the contro9 OF the
Board. 1t seems that the new l3"
makes no specific provision for any
one to order the election. We under
stand that the attorney general holds
that the board has no authority TO
order the election. What will be done
or who will order it we do not know.
In case no one orders the election it
is supposed the present board will
hold over until the Legislature a
amend the law to provide for holding
the election.
The board will meet tonight ana
we presume the question as to their
power and duty will be considered.
