Interest of Marine League.

Alexander R. Smith, of Cleveland, O., representing the Merchant Marine League of the United States, is in the city in interest of the league and for the purpose also of advocating subsidies for American ships.
 He has been travelling throughout the South endeavoring to interest the South ern people in this idea and says he has been meeting with good success. His purpose is to create as much discussion of the subject, in the press, and by pub lie bodies and men of eminence and in- fiuence, as will compel Congress to give the earliest and most favorable consid- eration to the subject.
 MT. Smith has just come from Mobile, in which city the Comercial Club adopt ed resolutions warmly commenting a bill introduced in Congress at its last session by a commission of five Sena- tors and five Representatives, appointed by Congress, pursuant to recommen- dation to that effect by President Roosevelt in his message to Congress of two years ago. The Mobile Commer- cial Club also urges the Senators and Representatives in Congress from Ala bama to actively support the merchant marine commissions bill.

NOrwdy'S Invitation to
 Sweden to Send a King
THE OFFER WITHDRAWN
The StOrthing Declines to Submit the Dissolution Proposition to a Vote of the People and AdOsts the Karl- Stad Agreement.

Christiana, Norway, Oct. 9-After two days spent in excited discussion. the storthing at 1: 30 this morning pro- ceeded to a division of the proposal of the republican minority to submit the Karlstad agreement concerning the dissolution of the union between Nor way and Sweden to a referendum. The proposal was rejected by vote of 109 to 8.
 The agreement was then accepted by a vote of 101 to 16 This a great vic tory for the government. In the course of the debate Premier Nichaelson made an interesting speech on the selection of a king. He said that the offer of the throne to the house of BeTnadotte was made as an expression of good will. It had, apparently, however. been otherwise interpreted in Sweden. as, according to King Oscars Observa- tions to foreign newspaper men, his majesty would regard his approval of such a selection as a personal sacri- flee. In conclusion, the premier said that the question now appeared to be outside of actual politics.
 Premier MichaelsOn's statement is regarded as a withdrawal of Norways offer of the throne to a member of the Bernatdotte family

Berkeley, Oct. 9.-A fierce fire swept over the Berkeley hills behind the University of California today and had it not been for the heroic work of a thousand students in the university and the e& orts of the Berkeley fire depart ment. assisted by hundreds Of citizens. Berkeley property to the extent of thousands of dollars would have been destroyed. The flames were first dis covered in Strawberry Canyon at Il o'clock. Famed by a north gale that blew all day, the great sheet Of flames swept the hillside and bore down to- wards the university buildings.
 Seeing the danger, President Wheeler dismissed the student cadets. who were drilling, and called upon them to fight the flames. President Wheeler him self led the students, and hatIess and cOatless they fought the flames with wet sacks until late this afternoon, not even stopping for dinner. Many stu dents had narrow escapes from the flames.
 Prentiss s. Gray. president of the student body, Ray Gabbart, editor of Blue and Gold, and Roy Elliott, the football player. at the head of one di- vision, were cut off by a circle of fire, and compelled to roll themselves in wet sacks to save their lives. Others, in cluding many professors. were burned. By six o'clock tonight the flames were well under control, though still bum ing. The fire is heading east, toward the Piedmont district, having burned over three miles of territory. A guard of students will remain on the hillside tonight to prevent a spread of the fire

 Some water was turned in Satur- day night or Sunday, and yesterday about noon it was reported that about 5000 inches of water was passing Power House No. l, which is about three and a half miles this side of the head. It was expected that a larger head would be running last night, and probably quite a flow of water will get down to the ranch country some time today.
 Concerning the cleaning of the ca nal, which the farmers consider is very necessary to permit of a good flow, Mir. Hall said yesterday that he had nothing to report yet from Judge Steele, to whom was submitted the proposition made by a committee of the members of the Arizona Canal Pro- tective association.

Jeffrey, president of the Denver and Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western and one of Gould's chief lieutenants. Other directors of the road are here, and all of them seem friendly to Gould and disposed to uphold his interests. Ramsey, save for his legal advisers, seems to stand prac- ticaIly alone.
 Gould himself this afternoon declin- ed to discuss the probable outcome of the meeting, but his friends confidently predict that he will not only retain control of the Wabash by an over whelming vote but when the smoke of battle has cleared away, it will be found not only that Ramsey failed to gain control of the system, but that he has been removed from it entirely and that his name will not even appear in the new board of directors.
 Ramsey, like Gould, declines to make predictions. He is, however, to all ap- cheerful and confident to a degree. The stockholders meeting will be held at o'clock tomorrow morning at the offices of Smith and Becksmfth local attorneys for the Wabash. It is expected to last until noon. The prob ability is that the meeting of directors will not interfere with that of the but will be held some weeks later in New York

ceed with the inquest on the body of Medina.
 Justice Barkley not only held the in quest but disregarded the advice of Mir Bullard and went on with the pre- liminary trial holding Suieta to the grand jury.
 As was stated by The Republican the killing was the closing incident of drunken row, though the men had pre- viously had trouble. At the time of the shooting the murderer was sitting in a wagon which Medina approached. The shooting was unprovOked though Suieta said he thought he was acting in self defense when he fired. Against that though is the fact that the fatal shot entered the back of Medina's heaG. The murdered man was thirty years of age and unmarried.

New York, Oct. 9.-The market went through a course of moderate liquidation today, induced by the growing belief that money will hold firm for a considerable period of time. Liquidation was not urgent at any time and was not continuous. The tone of the market was resilient in the face of the selling and there were good re coVeries, but there was a marked de- cline in activity when prices were moving upwards and the principal trading of the day was done on a de scending scale of prices.
