NORWAY WOULD
FORCE A CRISIS
storthing Committee in Favor of
Remuneration of Common
Consular Service.

London, May s.-The Times cores
pendent at Stockholm understands that
a special, committee of the Norwegian
storthing will recommend the immedi-
ate remuneration of the common con-
sular service and the presentation at
the autumn session Of measures to in
stitute a separate Norwegian service.
The storthing probably will adopt the
recommendation.
The information that the Norwegian
storthing committee has decided to es-
tablish separate consular system is re-
garded here as an indication of the de-
sire of the radicals to widen the breach
between the crown prince regent and
the radical clement in Stockholm. The
action planned in Christiania is only a
step in advance of that suggested by
the regent as conciliatory measure
the establishment of separate consul
lar system under one premier, either
Swedish or Norwegian, and, it is be-
heved here, it is not unlikely that this
extreme radical measure will force the
regent to decisive step, either in be-
half of or against the present agitation
in Norway.
It is the belief that the Norwegian
storthing committee, well aware of the
fact that the regent, is strongly suspect
ca OF pro-Russian tendencies, hopes
that he will welcome this opportunity
to break with that Swedish radicalism
of which Bostrom, the retired premier,
was an exponent. ..

DEWEY EXPECTS JAPs TO WIN
Thinks Russian Battlestips Offset by
Other Factors.

Chicago, May S.-Walter Wellman, in
Washington special to the Record
Heral. says:
Admiral Dewey declares he never said
that in his opinion the Russians were
going to whip the Japanese in the com.
ing naval engagement. AS matter OF
fact, the admiral's private opinion, as
gathered from his associates, is quite
to the contrary, and is that Admiral
Togo is pretty sure to smash Rolest-
vensky when the Russian commander
gets near enough to japanese bases to
warrant an attack in force. But Adj
miral Dewey. mindful of the properties
of the situation, has been careful not
to express an opinion for publication.
He is not so backward among his
friends, but his friends have no right
to quote him one way or another.
The notion that Admiral Dewey
pinned his faith to the Russians grew
out of his well-known advocacy of bat
tleships as the chief and most effective
part of fighting navy. But the ad-
miral. in discussing the outlook with
his friends, has always been careful to
nut in the qualification that, : other
things being equal or approximately
equal. superiority in battleships should
| give victory In the present case,
| other things are not equal. No one
knows better than Dewey the enormous
value of superior personnel, gunnery and
seamanship.

KING'SDESCENDANT.
Captain James T. Ord, in Whose
Veins Flowed Royal Blood,
Is Dead.

Of Captain James hom np S ord U Giaed
States army, retired, whose remains
were sent to Washington, D. c., yester-
day, calls to mind the fact that in his
veins flowed the royal blood of England.
w. He was a descendant Of the oldest
son OF that king by Mrs. Fitzherbert,
the kings first wife,
The prince fellin love with Mrs. Fitz-
herbert, who had been twice widow
at 25. She was a Roman Catholic and
marriage by the heir of the crown
with a Roman Catholic forfeited his
succession by. the "Act Of Settle
Act; could he legally contact y"i marriage
even with Protestant without his
father s consent, unless at the end of
year after formal notice had been given
and then only if parliament had not
expressed it's disapprobation.
Believing truly that he could con-
tract no legal marriage with Mrs. Fitz-
herbert, he was quite ready to go thru
holding that the. performance of the
ceremony by a priest Of her church was
of sacramental efficacy, was Indifferent
to the legality Of the proceeding and
the marriage took place. In 1887 the
prince denied the marriage in the house
of lords thru Fox, his mouthpiece, and
in 1895 he married Caroline of Bruins
wick, from whom he was soon separated.
Ord, the son of the king and Of Mrs
| Fitzherbert, was taken to America when
an infant by the emissaries of the king,
who did not want the royal succession
| hampered. He was placed in a convent
school at Baltimore, Md, with instruc-
lions to have him educated as a Catho-
lie priest. But young Ord decided upon
another career than that Of man of
peace and prayer and when he came
/ of age left the school. He married a
Miss Cresap Of Maryland and they had
ia number of children, nearly all of
whom rose to prominence. One OF
these was Edward Ohio .Cresap-Ord
who performed great service for the
United States in the civil and Mexican
!, wars, retiring in 1880 with the brevet
rank Of major general. Of him, Genera
William T. Sherman, his classmate al
the military academy and his companion
t in California during the Mexican war
wrote: He has had all Of the hare
knocks Of service and never on sof
, or fancy duty. He has always beer
: called on when hard duty was expected
and never finched. y

DRIVEN FROM HIS
HOME BY GHOSTS
Kentucky Doctor and His Family
Yield After a Years Contest
with Strange Visitors.

Owingsville, KY. May S.-Because of
the almost nightly visits of a ghostly
rambler, DR.. Joseph King, a prominent
physician of Rothwell, Menifee county,
eighteen miles from here, has been
forced to remove his family from a
house he recently purchased from Mrs.
Mary Robertson. Dr.: King says he re-
NAMED for more than year and
listened to unearthly noises, but he
would not live there again for all the
wealth in Kentucky.
DR.. King had been living in the house
only three days when he was awakened
by something cold as ice and as clammy
as a wet rag being laid on his face.
AS he rose in bed the object was, re-
moved from his face. He searched The
room and the house, but no evidence of
anything unusual was discovered. This
was the beginning of many visits, both
In daylight and darkness, Of the I'M
canny visitor.
DR.. King and family were sitting in
the family room few nights later
when they were disturbed by a drag
ging, falling sound in the room directly
above. r This was followed by a souno
directly behind their chairs as of 6
heavy body being dropped to the floor
The house was searched from top to bot
tom, but to no avail.
The next they heard was strange
rapping sound in room near them, anC
again was heard the dragging, dropping
sound. Most of the noises seemed tt
come from an old bedstead which stood
in a corner, and the old bed wal
searched and examined, but nothing wa
found.
The family was sitting in the same
room one night when the dropping SOUND
was heard, and low, murmuring voic'
arose. Mrs. King heard it, but Dr.. Kiny
did not. Mrs. King says she heard i
say "Howdy,0 but she was too fright
ened to reply. After this there aros
in the house a hymn, sung in a thin
quavering voice.
At intervals of few days there wer
sounds as Of heavy planks being pushe'
along the floor and allowed to drop
The house was searched every time
but nothing was ever discovered
Heavy bodies, seemingly, would roll Of
the house, but nothing would be seer
/ Later began a series of peculiar rar
pings. Finally DR.. King went to Mrs
Robertson, from whom he had pun
chased the property, and asked if sh
knew anything about the peculia
4 sounds She told him she possessed til
power to call spirits back to the eartl
4 and that the rappings and singing wer
caused by the spirit of her husband
a The other noises, she said. were cause
"A by the spirit Of a murderer name
Hawkins, who was hanged man
3 years ago, and whose spirit she had II
called. Upon hearing this, DR.. King d.
cided to move.

anese intelligence department is excep-
tionally efficient. Therefore, If various
specific breaches of neutrality really ex
listed the Japanese government would
have been aware of them and would have
presented specific charges to the French
government. So far, however, Japan's
official action has been confined to re-
questing France to exercise strict neu-
trality. She has not made any specific
charges, nor have any specific acts of vio-
lation of neutrality yet been brought to
our attention. The japanese government
asked in an amicable spirit that we OBJ
serve neutrality and we answered that we
had done and are doing everything pos
sible to that end. The reports to the
contrary we believe to be misrepresenta-
ticns.
DR.. Motono, the Japanese minister to
France, went to the foreign office yes
terday evening, where he had an ex-
tended interview with Foreign Mlnlste
Delcasse It is understood. that Dr.
Motono referred to Japan,s increasing
impatience regarding the alleged breach
of neutrality. :,
The feeling prevails here that the sit
nation is gradually assuming much ten
sion. Reports are current that the pos
tive instructions of the French officials
here receive perfunctory execution on
the part of their subordinates in lndo-
China owing to the individual sympathy
existing between the civil and naval
French and Russian authorities.
A semi official note issued this after
noon says:
Contrary to the allegation contained in
dispatch from Hongkong to a foreign
agency not only has the French govern
ment not disregarded the rules of neutral
ity. but after sending it's civil and mill
tary agents very precise instructions fol
the enforcement of those rules, the gov
eminent has unremittingly seen to thell
extension.
