French Premier Urged to Mediate In
40 Scandinavian Crisis.
Paris, July 12.-Baron d'Estournai-
les de Constant, the French member
Of The Hague peace tribunal, has
written a letter to Premier Rouvier
urging French intermediation in the
conflict between Norway and Sweden.
The letter says in part:
"The governments of Europe alb
stained from offering their good Offices
to Russia and Japan with the result
that the United States has the honor
of this beneticient Intervention. To
day a grave conflict has broken out
between Sweden and Norway. With
out thrusting ourselves into the con-
fict we cannot remain Indifferent to
our duty to ourselves and to all Eu-
rope to prevent the spread of vio-
lent conHagration. The relations of
France towards Sweden and Norway
ensure a sympathetic welcome to
words Of Cancellation from you. I
therefore ask in the name of great
number Of French and foreign parlia-
mentarians that you give your power
full authority to this pacific effort,
which will receive an approving echo
from the governments Of Europe and
America"

Washington, July 1.-THE state de-
partment is to be reorganized under
Eiihu Root, the new secretary of state.
Not only will the personnel of the de-

DISCUSSED in PARLIAMENT.
Canada to Adopt the Swiss Militia
~ System.

V Is g I = u
Ottawa, Ont, July IL. The question
Of taking over the Halifax and EsQui-
manlt garrisons by the Dominion gov-
eminent from the imperial authorities
has been discussed in parliament.
Sir Frederick Borden, minister OF
militia, denied that Canada had any
idea Of having standing army. What
was intended was to follow the Swiss
militia system.
The duty of the force Of $4,000 or
10000 men, who could be expanded
into force Of 100000, would be to aid
the civil power in maintaining peace
and defending invasion from without.
Canada would not make any direct
contributions for military or naval pur-
poses to England, he said. Nothing
would be done over which the Canada
parliament would not have full con-
troll. a5s
Mr.. Foster held that the proposition
that the colonies should raise regi-
ments for service abroad did not imply
that Great Britain would order them
out. rs
Several large guns were ordered and
over $4,000 worth of rifles are being
supplied weekly.

ENGINEER WALLACE
| HAD A Big BLUFF
REPORTED THAT HIS REsIGNA.
TON WAS A SUPPLEMENTED
DOLLARS.
WAS ALSO IN ON A GIGANTIC
RAILROAD scHEME-RoosE-
WELT CALLED BLUFF.

New York, July PA high official
made public last night the reasons I'm
derlying the retirement Of John A.
Wallace as the chief engineer of the
isthmian canal. It discloses for the
first time the influences back of Wal
lace and presents an enterprise of
gigantic proportions.
Certain high financiers and railway
magnates are named as being behind
a scheme to construct electric rail
ways in such portions of the country
as would make their construction
profitable in competition with the
steam roads. When purchased by the
steam road the electric road would be
run as an Independent enterprise. but
the cutting of rates would cease. and
the revenues would eventually reach
the treasury of the steam roads.
The plan, so this authority has it,
was to force the sale of the present
profitable electric railway lines, bv
threats of constructing competing
lines.
The acceptance of Wallace's resig.
nation had a string to it. He came
north and planned to secure from the
president and secretary an increase III
salary of five thousand dollars and the
appointment as chairman of the canal
commission, with residence in Wash
i1gtcn. The president and secretary
learned of the engineers intention and
Immediately called his bluff, it is
declared.

OFFICIALS COME TO BLOWS.
Fight Over Cell to Be Occupied b!
Caleb Powers.

SdtSO fOwSTSs
Cincinnati, July 12-Jailer Ploeger
and three other men are out on bail
after arrest by order of Mayor Helm
bold Of Newport, KY, Policemen
Flynn and Ratican are out on bond,
having been arrested charged with re-
sistins United States officers in the
discharge OF their duty, and the mayor
himself has been bound over to ap-
pear Thursday to answer a charge of
resisting United States officers, hav-
ing surrendered himself on learning
that a warrant was out for his arrest.
These were among the results of an at
tempt of some of the friends of Caleb
Powers, former secretary Of state of
Kentucky, under indictment for COM
plicity in the murder of William Goe-
bel, to furnish the cell which the pris-
oner was to occupy with more COM
forts than Usually fall to the lot of in
mates Of the Newport Jail.
During the fight which followed
when the jailer refused to obey the
mayors orders ITO place Powers in a
cell other than that prepared for him
the mayors front teeth were knocked
out, revolvers were drawn and almost
the entire police force of Newport
was called into action. The taller
claims that the order of United States
Judge Cochran, when that official as
sumed jurisdiction in the Powers case
and committed Powers to the Newport
Jail, gave direct control over the pris-
had no right or authority in the mat
ter.
