present territory. He stood there wait ing for the word. Sturdy Republican leaders like the late Senator Platt of Connecticut and Senator Allison of Iowa knew that with Burton's vote to be had for the asking they could win. No power on earth could prevent Bur ton from walking into the senate cham Der and voting if he had the nerve to brave the displeasure of the senate.
 They wanted the vote, but here was a senator under indictment who had been told to stay away from the sen ate chamber until his case was decid- ed. It was agreed that the dignity of the senate must be upheld, that sen ator under indictment could not vote until he was cleared, and the leaders who were against New Mexico saw the bill to admit that territory passed, although the vote that would have beat en the project was within call. How ever, disagreement between senate and house resulted after all in defeating the plan to make new state.

tration that an investigation was or dered by congress in respect to re- port that a cadet named Strang had
 been killed by hazing. It was said that his tormentors rolled him down. hill in a barrel which had spikes driv- en through its sides. It was proved
 that the cadet did not die from such a cause and that he had never been hazed It was also during his admin istration that rebellion among the cadets occurred. The insubordinate students were members of the first, or highest, class, and their action rendered them liable to dismissal. They were confined on the prison ship Santee and deprived of all privileges until the re- bellion was quelled. A curious fea- ture of it was their allegation that they had rebelled because Rear Ad- miral Ramsay had ordered all their heads shorn in order to get hair for the mortar used in building a new resi- dence for the superintendent, but this was not the real reason for their action.

Peace Prospects Grow BRIGHTER.

st. Petersburg, June S.-With Am
bassador Meyers delivery to the EN-
peror yesterday afternoon of President
;Roosevelts message rendering his
good offices, the prospect of the Presi-
dents efforts to bring the beligerents
together in peace negotiations is be-
lieved to be distinctly brighter.
1t is equally evident that the situa.
tion is an exceedingly delicate one.
Ambassador Meyer, when seen last
night, absolutely declining to say a
word regarding his visit to Tsarskoe-
Selo, the mission with which he is
charged or the Emperor's response
The center of interest is again trans,
ferred back to Washington. Count
Casini has doubtless received instruc-
tions from the Emperor However, It
will probably require some little time
to finally decide whether success shall
crown the Presidents efforts to end
the war
The fact of Ambassador Meyers
visit to Tsarskoe-Selo is as yet known
only in the highest official circles,
many diplomats even being entirely
unaware of this important event, but
where it is known it has created in.
tense interest.
In the meantime it must be stated
that there is not the slightest surface
indication of any change in the situa-
tion regarding the continuation of the
war.

LINEVITCH FOR WAR.
Russian Commander Believes He Can

Undismayed by Rojestvensky's defeat
and full of confidence as to the out
come Of the approaching battle, Lieu
tenant General Linevitch is for war to

Manchurian army is now strong enough
to assume the Aggressive.
To question of a correspondent OF
the Associated Press to-day, as to
whether he was for war of peace, the
commander-in-chief replied firmly and
without the slightest hesitation:
Most certainly l am for wa. l am
soldier. The Emperor's will is nat
urally my law. but my voice now, as
before, is for the continuance of the
fight.
With the destruction OF our fleet

who, at the beginning of the war,
wished to make peace at Toxic, but our
defeat at sea has not interfered with

only to hold my ground. but even to

Il am no prophet and have no desire

NORWAY HAS Seeded
'olssoLvEs UNION WITH SWEDEN
storthins Declares that King Oscar No
Longer Rules in Norway-Coun-
Gil of State to Govern.

Christiania, Norway. June S.-"Nor-
and sovereign state"
This is the text of the editorials in
the Norwegian newspapers and it re-
fleets the spirit with which the people
of Norway accept yesterdays action
of the Storthing when it proclaimed
King Oscar no longer king of Norway.
Following is the resolution passed by
the Storthing unanimously and with
out debate:
Whereas, all the members of the
council of state have laid down their
offices; and.
Whereas, his majesty, the King,
has declared himself unable to estab-
lish a new government for the coun-
try; and,
Whereas, the constitutional, regal
power thus becomes imperative, the
Storthing authorizes the members of
the council of state who retired to-day
to exercise until further notice, as the
Norwegian government, the power ap-
pertaining to the King in accordance
with Norway's constitution and exist
ing laws, with those changes which are
necessitated by the fact that the union
with Sweden under one king is dis
solved in consequence of the King hav-
ing ceased to act as a Norwegian
king"
At its meeting last evening the
Storthing addressed a proclamation to
the Norwegian people in which is
given in detailed account of the events
preceding the passing of the resolution.
The proclamation concludes as fol-
lows:
THE Storthing hopes that the Nor
wegian people will succeed in living in
peace and on good terms with all, and
not the least with the Swedish people,
to whom we are linked by so many nat
ural ties"
1t was arranged that the Storthing
will send a deputation to convey the
address adopted by it to the King This
address declares that no i'll feeling is
entertained against him, his dynasty or
the Swedish nation and asks him to CO.
operate in the selection of a young
prince of the house of Bernadotte to
occupy the throne of Norway.
1t is not anticipated that King Oscar
will consent to any prince of the house
of Bernadotte accepting the Norwegian
crown. Should the King refuse, there
is possibility that the throne may be
offered to Prince Waldemar, the third
son of King Christian of Denmark
The people of Denmark largely sympa-
thlze with the Norwegian demands.

RoJEsTvENsKY's REPORT.
Russian Admiral Tells the Story Of
His Defeat

st. Petersburg, June S.-The govern
ment has received telegraphic re-
port from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky,
dated at Toxic June 9th, in which the
admiral states that at 80 on May
9th. he engaged twelve large Japan
ese battleships and armored cruisers
and twelve smaller cruisers.
At 2:30 it became necessary for
him to shift his quarters and his staff
on the battleship Kniaz Souvaroff to
another part of the vessel, and at $3.50
when the admiral lost consciousness,
owing to his wounds, it was found
necessary to transfer him and his staff
to the torpedo boat destroyer Bunya,
where already part of the crew of the
ship Oslabya, which sunk, had been
taken.
The supreme command, the admiral
says, was then transferred to Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff.
The Bunya became separated from
the rest OF the fleet during the night.
Admiral Rojestvensky said:
in the morning we sighted the
armored cruiser Dmitri Donskoi with
two torpedo boats and transferred the
Oslabya crew to her. I was removed
to the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovi.
stroyer Grosney.
"On the evening Of May 29th I
learned that the Bedovi had sur
rendered to two Japanese torpedo
boats. The Bedovi arrived at Sasebo
