PRESIDENT PLANS
SUBMARINE TRIP
Orders to the Plunger as Indica
ton Roosevelt Wants Plunge
Beneath Waves.

New York, Aug. 0.-President Roose-
welt is planning trip beneath the
waves in the submarine boat Plunger-
at least, it looks that way from the
order received today by Lieutenant
Charles Nelson at the Brooklyn navy
yard, who is in command of the craft
The orders came from the secretary of
the navy and read:
You are to proceed as soon as pos
sible to Oyster Bay and report to the
president.
When the orders came the boat was
in drydock being overhauled. She was
at once taken out and is now lying in
the waterway that runs thru the center
of the navy yard. A large force of
expert engineers and mechanics is work
ing night and day getting the little
and heavily insulated electric light
wires is being put in and the gasolene
engine is undergoing complete re-
vamping. Every bolt and rivet is being
subjected to a thoro resoldering and the
torpedo tubes are being frequently
tested.
It will be five days before the Plunger
will be in condition to make the run to
Oyster Bay. Lieutenant Nelson has
submarines, and every man is being
thoroly drilled at his particular post.
1t is said the president has several
times expressed a desire to 90 down on
q submarine, and the officers Of the
Plunger are extremely anxious to have
the chief executive as their guest in a
dip below the water 8 surface.

Mr.. Christoferson discussed with the
trained journalist s grasp of affairs the
chances of the continuance of the mon
archy in Norway. He does not deem
it probable that there will be any
change to republic. e.:

"that Carl of Denmark is willing to
take the throne, and that the royal
house Of Denmark, including the old
King Christian and his matchma king
spouse, will be glad to furnish a prince

house, you know, has furnished kings
and queens to half the thrones of Eu-

anything formal or official to be said
on the subject, but we know that when
Sweden has decided to accept the in

Gustaf Is Pacific.
"In that connection, the reversal Of
the position taken by the Crown Prince
Gustat OF Sweden is very interesting.
While there is naturally no way of de-
inclined in Christiania 10 give much
credence to the report that when he
went to England to attend the wedding
of his son, King Edward required from
him an absolute pledge that there was

quite as probable as the other story
that when the. crown prince attended
the nuptial festivities of Germany's
heir apparent in Berlin a few weeks
before. that, he was roundly rated by
the kaiser: for having permitted his
father to commit the eyre ious error Of
refusing to sanction the consular service
bill. The emperor pointed out-which
is quite true-that if Oscar had signed
the consular bill he would have totally
disarmed the Norw egians. They would
have had an unsatisfactory consular
service and would have been quite de-
barred from treating for separate for

wanted. Instead of that, the king, fol

pacific attitude of Gustaf,- we attribute
it to the strong advice he has received
from England and Germany. 1t is
well known that his personal opinion

CHICAGO MAYORS HOME
INVADED BY BURGLARS


Chicago, Aug. lott was brought
home to Mayor Dunno last night, i'm
mediately af ter his return from the east,
that some burglars still lurk in Chi
cago. His residence, 1927 Beacon
street, was entered and property val
ued at $75 was stolen. He was peace
fully dreaming while the burglars
worked.
It is surmised that the thieves did
not know the mayor had returned. and
expected to find his wife and family
also absent and the house vacant. They
also showed a 1amentable ignorance Of

TEST IMMIGRANTS,
IS WU'S SOLUTION
Former Chinese Minister Believes
Educational Test Would
Solve Exclusion Question.

Picking, Aug. 10.-Wu Ting-fang, for
merly Chinese minister at Washington
and now vice president of the board Of
foreign affairs, in an interview yester-
day, said the existing regulations for
the, exclusion of Chinese from the
United States were unsatisfactory from
the Chinese standpoint, and hence it
was desired that they should be modi-
fed by the new convention. The Chi

difficulty, but the existing regulations
pressed with severity on other classes.

Regrets Boycott.
Mr.. WI expressed himself as greatly
regretting the Chinese boycott of Amer
lean goods and steamship. and insur-
ance companies, as it might estrange
the good will of Americans, which he
highly priced. -.
Apparently, however, he said, the
. sOu1ucoS CldSSeS IlOSG COuCoTneu, COnS1Q-
ering that the prospects for the solu-
ton of the difficulties arising from the
application of the exclusion act were
remote, decided on the boycott as the
only means of ventilating the question.
Mr.. WI confessed that he was sur
prised at the extent of the movement
and the depth of feeling manifested,
not only by the mercantile classes, but
by the students and even the women,
and said that such demonstration of
public sentiment meant extraordinary
progress in the direction of the growth
Of a real nationality.
WI Denies Responsibility.
Mr.. Wu's attention was called to the
fact that he was credited with direct
ing the boycott and he Indignantly re.
pudiated the suggestion. II suggest, -
said he, "that an educational test
would be the most effective means OF

An easy means of ascertainging the eli

In conclusion Mr. WI said it was his
opinion that clearer definition of the
term "laborer' was necessary.
