ROYAL PROPOSAL DISCUSSED IN
THE TWO CHAMBERS.
Recommendations Indicated All Condi-

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, October 2.-The
special session of the riksdag summoned
to deal with the treaty of Karlstad as

in the absence of King Oscar, was read by
Christian Lundeberg, the minister of state.
The members then repaired to their own
chambers, where the treaty was submitted
to them in the form of royal proposal
attached to which were the cabinets recon-
mendations for its ratification. These rec
concentrations pointed out that the riks-
days conditions were all fulfilled, as the
notifications reached in the course of the

scope of the riksdag's terms for giving it's
assent to the dissolution of the union Of
Sweden and Norway.
The distance of the fortress of Kongs-

UNIQUE BULL FIGHT.
Animals Clad in Foot Ball Armor
Amuse Crowd in California.

CHICAGO, October IA dispatch to the
Record Herald from Los Angeles. Cal, says:
A bull fight with the attachments of a comic
opera thrown In was held at Santa Monica
yesterday. The action was there, but of
gore there was none, for the bulls were clad
in foot ball armor until they were twice
their natural size and looked as If they had
eaten something that had caused serious In
ternal disorders
The matadors were similarly attired, and
when one, hampered by his padding, was
unable to escape the charge of a bull the
impact resembled collision between two
feather beds.
The fight was more on the order of a linn
ited-round pugilistic contest in that the
palm of victory was awarded on points.
The judges decided in every instance in IA
that the matador should commit suicide; as
he swears to kill the animal or be killed by
1t. Up to late hour last night the defeat
ed matadors were pleading manana' and
other dilatory phrases in explanation of
their failure to end their lives and thereby
wipe out disgrace of defeat.
The most amusing incident of the battle
occurred when the judges, who represent
the president in Mexican bull fights an
nounced their decisions. With one accord
the two dozen matadors flung their arms
wildly into the air, swore in Spanish and
shouted Mexican defiance at the decision.
Originally the intention was to hold gem
uine bull fight, with plenty of blood-shed-
ding but the authorities interfered. 1t was
the first event of the kind ever held on
American soil on the Pacific coast.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, October 2.-Deputy
Zoltan Lengyal leader of the radical wing

All Hungarian-born officers of the reserve

The deputy also proposes a social boycott
OF German and Austrian officers by the
Magyar population. The punishment of the

ble as there would not be men enough left
in the army to deal with the Hungarian

? DOL ROO M CASES
REFERRED TO In CHARGE TO
GRAND JURY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO Md, October "a
crowd of interested spectators filed the
court room here this morning, many of
them being from Washington. Most of the
Washington people had come here to hear
the remarks of Judge Merrick upon the Ken
iiworth pool room question, as 1t was
thought he would have something of inter-
est to say, but Chief Justice Briscoe deliy-
cred the charge to the grand jury instead,
and his remarks were not Of the nature
that the spectators had anticipated. He
called special attention to the pool room
matter, however, and impressed upon the
grand jurors the necessity for it's members
to perform their duty without fear or favor.
He told the grand jurors that there had
been considerable agitation of the gam
bling question in the papers, referring espe-
cially to the pool room business and read
the statute relating to the making of books
on foreign races. Witnesses, the judge said,
will be presented, and it will be for the jury
t. judge whether the testimony makes out
a of guilt or innocence.
This law said the judge, like others, if
violated and you have evidence of the fact,
it is your duty to make a presentment.
Your other duty requires that you make
dilgent inquiry into such matters and act
in accordance with the evidence presented -
he continued This pool room business has
been a matter or some pubic notoriety In
your county, and the court therefore calls
your special attention to it. The court feels
that you will give it your attention and do
your duty in the matter"
mention was also made of the alleged
violations of the liquor law in the county.
People who take the law in their own hands
and violate it, the court said must submit
to punishment when it is inflicted.
States Attorney Magruder arranged for
the hearing of the testimony of witnesses
n afternoon
w. Mallery and Thomas N. Mohler are the
principal witnesses for the state. 1t is hard
ly probable that any indictments will be re-
turned this afternoon.

the remainder of the party returning from

1t has not been determined definitely vet
what vessel the President will use on his
return trip to Washington but 1t probably
Will be the Cleveland, Tacoma or Calves

sea the President was influenced by his de-
sire not to come into conflict in any way
with the quarantine regulations of the
southern states Two weeks ago he init
mated mat that he might solve the difficulty in

settled until today.
A Central Purchasing Agency.
Messrs Garfield and Pinchot, who are
members or the departmental committee
u inquiry were among the first visitors
with the President. They stated that thev
had not talked with him about the investi-
satlons they are conducting as to the
methods of business in the departments
Mr. GARFIELD. however, had a large morocco
case with him, ominously fat with docu-
ments of some kind
The commission is giving consideration
10 the question of establishing a central
purchasing agency for all government
supplies A recommendation by the COM
mission for such an agency is regarded as
certain, but the form of the recommended
tion Is yet to be decided upon The wide
variety OF prices paid by the various de-
paftmentS for the same classes of goods
is the prime reason for the proposed gem
eral purchasing agency, which would adj
Vertise for and secure supplies for every
pranch or the government, shipping from
central point. AS matters are now ar
ranged, each department ships supplies to
ltS branches from Washington.
1t is claimed that this leads to much
waste or money for freight charges. If the
general agency were located at some point
IKE New York, to which goods could be
delivered at small freight rates they could
De shipped directly from there, saving the
Tune and expense of coming to Washington
ana being distributed from here. The
Treasury Department sends larger ouanti-
ties OF supplies outside of Washington than
1t uses here, collectors of customs coll
lectors of internal revenue and many other
officials requiring large quantities
1t is probable that the President will make
a recommendation to Congress along these
lines, as the proposed amalgamation would
require an act of that body, appropriations
being now made for each separate depart
ment.
The position of purchasing agent would
be most responsible one, and the Presi-
dent would want man of unquestioned
standing and unimpeachable honesty.
