NORWAY A REPUBLIC.
Sentiment Said to Be Drifting in This
Direction

CHICAGO, August 31.-Dr. Waldenstrom,
tics. close friend of King Oscar, member of
the riksdag for twenty years and a leader
IN religious reform in Scandinavian coun-
tries, reached Chicago yesterday for a brief
stay.
In an interview Dr. Waldenstrom asserted
that Norway was drifting with apparent
certainty toward the formation of a repub-
lie While Norway, he declared, may. yet
get king. his personal view was that the
republicans, as against the friends of the
monarchical idea, were gaining ground.
Asked If Sweden accepted in good faith
the recent referendum vote in Norway for
dissolution, DR.. Waldenstrom replied that
the vote did not properly express tire views
Of the Norwegian people a whole He
then disclosed an alleged trick by which, he
limited the tremendous affirmative vote was
obtained.
1.-THE ballots used at the polls were all
marked yes, and no one was expected to
vote no in any event." said the doctor
THE only way a negative vote could be
cast was by writing out a special ballot. In
addition, the men in charge of the election
showed strong antipathy to any one casting
a negative ballot, and persecution, or what
amounted to it. followed him who flew In
the face of the influence behind the referen-
dunn
DR.. Waldenstrom said the action of Nor
way had been hard blow to King Oscar,
who, he declared, had aged rapidly in the
last few months

AWAITING FULLER ADvIcEs.
Minister Corea Of Nicaragua Calls on
Acting Secretary Adee.

Senior Corea, the Nicaraguan minister.
has just returned to Washington from a
visit to his own country, and called upon
Acting Secretary Adee at the State De-
partment today to talk with him about the
case of William c. Albers, the American
citizen who is imprisoned at Nicaragua,
and that of Consul Donaldson of Managua,
who has become involved in trouble with
the Nicaraguan foreign office in connec-
ton with that case. Mr.. Adee Is waiting
the report of Minister Merry. which is COM
ing by mail Senior Corea explained that he
was expecting a report from his own gov
ernment on the subject. and when these ar
rived II Is believed that the difficulty can
be speedily adjusted. 1t appears that Con-
sui Donaldson made peremptory demand
upon the Nicaraguan government for q
trial in Albers' case within twenty-four
hours after his arrest. and the tone of his
demand was regarded as offensive, ahence
the withdrawal Of his exequator.
Senior Corea has been appointed by his
government minister to Cuba, as wei as to
the United States. and he informed Mr..
Adee that he will sail for Havana in day
or two to present his credentials to Prest-
dent Palma in his new capacity.

SULTAN'S RIGHTS UPHELD.
Decision of Arbitrators Regarding
Navigation of the Arabian Gulf.

The State Department has received
complete report of the findings of the arbi-
traitors at The Hague in the case of the d.s-
pute between France and England over the
right of French traders to navigate their
ships in the Gulf of Arabia. Chief Justice
Fuller, United States Supreme Court, who
has just arrived in this country, was one Of
the arbitrators The French government
claimed the right to issue permits to GER
tain natives to fly the French flag over
their dhows in those waters, the effect of
which would be to relieve those traders
from responsibility to the local authorities
and give them extra territorial rights.
, The arbitrators rendered their decision
August 1, holding that French permits is
sued prior to 1892 might continue in force
but that thereafter the right of the Sultan
of Muscat to control this trade must be
recognized. 1t Is expected that in the
course of twenty years, when all of the
holders Of these French permits will proba-
bly, have died or become incapable of navi-
eating ships, the question will settle itself.

IN THE DARK AT TOKYO
DETAILS OF PEACE NOT MADE
KNOWN.

TOKYO, August 81, 11:00 a.m.-The pub
lie continues to be without information
regarding the agreement of the peace en-
vows at Portsmouth. The division OF the
Island Of Sakhalin and the waving or IN
demnfty are not yet publicly known.
Despite the lack Of information. many
people are convinced that the japanese
government has made substantial conces-
sions, and already are criticising and OBJ
jecting. Unless the terms prove to be bet
ter than were anticipated it is certain that
the compact will prove unpopular and be
bitterly assaled by the press and by the
diet, which is expected to meet in special
session shortly. The radical elements are
asserting that cabinet changes are inevi-
table. The mass of the public is not moved.
There unquestionably is feeling of great
relief that hostilities have ended and that
the men of the great army Will return
home, be dsbanded and re-enter the walks
of peace. This feeling, however is with
out public manifestations. There have been
no professions, display of flags or other
marks of popular jolification.
The capital city continues normally quiet,
and reports from throughout the empire
indicate similar condition.

NEW YORK'S MAYOR
CONFERENCE TONIGHT AS TO A
FUSION ON JEROME.

Politicians are watching with interest the
preliminary movements in the New York
mayoralty campaign. 1t will be the most
interesting campaign this fall, eclipsing the
state contests. for that is an ordinary
governorship fight compared to a wrestle
for control of Greater New York. The fact
that municipal ownership may also enter
into the campaign lends additional interest.
An important conference is to be held in
New York tonight. at the republican club.
The two leading participants will be Ben
jamn B. Odell, jr., the chairman of the re-
publican state committee, and r. Fulton
Cutting, head of the Citizens Union, the
fusion element in New York city politics.
The question to be determined Is whether
the republicans and the fusicnists shall
nominate William Travers Jerome for
mayor. in opposition to George B. McClel-
Ian, the prospective Tammany candidate.
According to reports from New York the
politicians are nightly stirred over the
possibility of Odell and the fusionists nam
ing Mir. Jerome. If they do, it is admitted
the campaign this fall will be a mixed up
affair and nobody can foresee the outcome.
1t was only a little while ago that Mr..
Cutting and his associates were backing
Jerome for reelection as district attorney
and their shift to advocacy Of his nomina-
ton as mayor has complicated affairs.
Tammany, 1t Is said. is worried over the
prospect of a campaign based on municipal
ownership, with Jerome heading the fight.
Municipal ownership. with Tammany own
ing the owner, might not be SO bad, but
municipal ownership with Jerome al the
head presents direful prospect to the
Tammany braves whose war cry, as de-
scriDed in popular song. is Swamp 'em,
swamp EN-, get the wampum."
Jerome is supposed to abhor the repubi-
can machine of which Mr.. Odeil is the head,
and his friends are advising him against
accepting the mayoralty nomination at the
hands of Odell. who, they say, would insist
upon demanding the pound of flesh in the
political bargains which would have to be
made to fight the powerful Tammany or
paniZation

SENT TO, THE PRESIDENT.
Transmittal Of the Record In Midship-
man Jackson's Case.

Secretary Bonaparte has forwarded to
President Roosevelt for final action the
record of the court-martial proceedings In
the case of Midshipman Robert A. Jack
son of the bat.'eship Missouri. who mys-
teriously disappeared from that vessel In
the harbor of New York several weeks ago,
and was subsequently located In Canada
1t was alleged at the time that the young
man had gone to Boston in the company OF
a well-known woman and overstayed his
leave several days. When he was taken
back to his ship at Bar Harbor, Me-, he
was tried by court-martial on charges
growing out of his alleged escapade. The
proceedings OF the court were reviewed at
the Navy Department in the regular course
of business From the fact that the case
has been sent to the President 1t is in
ferred that the young man was found guilty
of the charges and sentenced to be dis
missed. The action of the President will
probably be announced in few days.
