The Breach in Scandinavia.

The first actual stroke of separat ton from
Sweden has now been delivered by the
Norwegian storthing, or supreme legisla-
tive body, in the passage of a resolution
declaring Norway freed from the compact
OF union and temporarily granting full adj
ministratiye powers to the council of state
in lieu of the authority of King Oscar. In
its present aspect this is an act of revolu-
ton, unlike anything in modern history.
The separation of the American colonies
from England does not afford parallel.
Norway has dissolved partnership with
Sweden, having in theory at least always
been considered as an equal footing
with that country, whereas the American
colonies were dependencies without repre-
sentation in England.
This breach between the Scandinavian
states has been long expected The eIe-
ments of disunion have been actively at
work for years. The Norwegians have
long felt that their interests were not being
sufficiently developed and protected by the
dual government. and that the administra-
ton at Stockholm was wholly swayed by
Swedish impulses and directed to the ex-
ploitation of Swedish interests. They be-
lieved that they We're being forced into the
position. of dependency. Their demand
for separate national flag and for sep
arate consular representation abroad has
recently focused the long-continued agita-
ton, and the recent vetoing by the king of
an enactment by the storthing for separate
consuls has brought the trouble to an acute
point.
It is claimed by the Norwegians that the
king has not obeyed the law of the union
which requires him to spend portion OF
each year In an official residence within

AS to the future, 1t is difficult to foreteli.
Sweden has the greater power, and IL the
issue should come to a question of force
Norway would be placed in a difficult po-
sirfon. But the Norwegian spirit runs high
and there is no present certainty that the
Swedish physical advantage would event
ua!ly suffice to overcome the revolving peo-
pie. The spectacle of war to compel the
Norwegians to accept the Swedish king as
their own would be an interesting modern
spectacle.

rection of forcing the overthrow of the
Swedish throne and the organization Of a
republican form of government for both

some part planned by these anti-mon-
archical interests Norway has no candidate
for the throne, no "pretender, and a re-
publican movement in that country in sue

by some observers of the Scandinavian
troubles. In that event, especially If the
new government should manage to estab-

the Swedish throne would unquestionably
be more or less undermined. 1t will be in
teresting to watch the attitude of the Eu-
ropean powers, especially the monarchies

most country of the European continent.

 The Russian visitors were conveyed to the Sylph and shortly before 6 o'clock the yacht weighed anchor and steamed out of the bay. Her destina- ton was not disclosed, but Is supposed to be some point on the lower New England coast, where Baron Rosen might catch a train that would enable them to reach Magnolia tonight.
 President Roosevelt said this after way his conference with Baron de Rosen. The intimation conveyed by his re- marks was that publicity at this mo- ment might imperil If not wreck en- tirely the negotiations pending.
 1t is quite evident from the trend of events today which made Oyster Bay for an hour the center of the peace ne- gotfations that the Russian envoys now are in possession of information that will assist them materially in conclud-' ing an agreement with the Japanese 
 It would be futile to speculate as to the nature of the information or as to the matter the President submitted to Baron de Rosen. But 1t can be said that if the conferees after communicat- ing with their Governments are able to proceed with their labors next Tues day without rupture 1t will be due to the final effort made today by Presi- dent Roosevelt.

 M Witte refused absolutely to speak about the peace conference. the journey of Baron de Rosen to Oyster Bay and the probably result which may be de- rived from 1t; saying that today he needed complete rest and, therefore, he abandoned himself absolutely to his Magnolia visit and had perused no com munications relative to the issues end ing.

Former Partisan Ranger Says Cleveland
 Pub1ication is Fraud.


 Publication is Fraud.
 Washington. Aug. 19.-(Special)- Colonel John s, Mospy. the famous Confederate Partisan Ranger, who is now a specal attorney Of the depart mont of justice, returned yesterday from Oklahoma and Indian Territory. where he has been since June on bus mess for the department to find a jolt ing surprise awaiting him.
 It was a letter from the owner of The Richmond Dispatch tnclosing a circular letter from Burrows and Com pany, a reputable bookhouse of Cleve- land, Ohio, announcing the publication and appearance next autumn of a work entitled, War in Virginia" by Col. John Mosby, the Famous Fighter.
 The real Col. John s. Mosby said to- day he had never heard of such a book or such a proposed book. He intends to investigate the matter and on Mon- day will ask the postoffice department to issue fraud order against the book The Cleveland firm, Col. Mosby thinks, have evidently been made the victim of imposition. Colonel Mosby says he Is now engaged in the preparation of a volume of "reminiscences of his ex- periences in the Civil War. but he does not expect to have 1t ready for publi- cation inside of two years.

INSURGENTS NOT FORMIDABLE.
British Oflcial Fears Nothing From
 Crete Insurrectfon.

nHhtASu omCtaI Fe0EB NOtUhnk | Crete Insurrectaon. London, Aug, 19.--A prominent of ficial who has for a long time resid- ed in Greece and who has just ar- rived from that country. speaking to the Associated Press today said: There would be no serious trouble in Crete as the rising of the insurgents failed in Its incipiency.
 Had the leaders achieved any big successes at the beginning of the up- rising. the people. who always lean toward the successful side would have Hooked to the standard of the insur- gents. There were now probably only 200 insurgents in the mountains and within cordons in certain interior dis tricts. This authority believes that had the powers acted decisively and cohesively the revolution would have been suppressed long ago. He says the Russian detachment is the only one that has been acting at all energeti- cally and that the Russians have shot the rebels wherever and whenever they showed their heads. The other powers of which Great Britain is the foremost have been showing too much leniency with the result that all the bands have not yet laid down their arms.
 The official believes that the powers should act in unison and adopt drastic methods one way or the other. If they intend turning over the island to Greece which Is the earnest desire of the Cretans steps in that direction should be taken at once: if otherwise then the rebellion against the gov eminent should be suppressed as speed fly as possible. He says the powers do not desire to permit the annexation of Crete to Greece, because such an act would immediately call for the settlement of the Macedonian question which none of them is willing to solve at present.

MAN USED DYNAMITE
NOVEL WAY FOR DESTROYING | GAMBLING HOUSES.
Canfield's And Union Cinb Joints Came Near Destruction by Fanatic i'm Saratoga---Warnings
 Were Found.

Saratoga, N. r.. Aut. 1.-Two loud explosions in quick succession in diff ferent sections of Saratoga startled visitors late last evening and set afoot stories about dynamite plots. While very little actual damage was done, there can be no doubt that some vio- lent explosive was used. The question is whether 1t was the work of prac- tical joker or of some person intending mischief who failed to carry out his plans. ~r+.-.<
 The first explosion occurred in a mar row alleyway between the United States Club conducted by Joseph Ull- man in Woodlawn Avenue and adJoin- ing a garage.
 The second explosion occurred about half an hour later at a point in Circu- lar Street. directly above the grounds of Richard Cannelds Saratoga Club house. Tn both instances the noise was great, and those In the neighbor- hood were of the impression that bombs had been used.
 The scene ot the first explosion is an alley about three feet wide. which is always blocked by a bootblack stand. So far as can be judged. the explosive was placed directly under the chair. which was blown to atoms. The walls around were smeared with the boot backs oil and paste. All of the win dows on that side of the garage were broken, as was a glass sign. Some damage was done to the building.
 All of the windows of the club house were open at the time and those on the basement floor were broken. A great crowd quickly gathered. includ- Ing hundreds Of guests in the Broad way hotels.
 When the excitement was at Its height around the United States Club the second explosion was heard and the sharp report took hundreds from Broadway up the side streets to dis cover what had happened. The second explosion occurred in clump of bushes in the park and was closer to the Kensington Hotel than 1t was to Canfields Club house. Persons dining and playing in Canhelds did not hear the noise as plainly as did those in the open air.
 Later in the night several crudely printed slips were found in tLe corri- dor of a leading hotel asserting that dynamite In large quantities had been found in the two club houses and warn ing people to be careful These sips led the police to believe that the ex- nlosions were the work of fanatic.

 AND FOUR DEATHS REPORTED

New Orleans and from Atlanta and other points In the South doubled back into Alabama.
 Much encouragement is felt over the apparent mildness of the fever that is prevailing at Mississippi City. Hun dreds of people here have relatives at all the summer resorts along the coast and they are naturally anxious to see the fever controlled in order that their relatives may not be forced to return to New Orleans now. Beauvoir, the old home of Jefferson Davis. which has be- come the Soldiers Home of Mississippi, is not far from Mississippi City, but every precaution is being taken to pre- vent the infection from reaching there.

 Guards have been thrown around the grounds and a strict quarantine Is to be enforced. Many of the veterans have volunteered to do guard duty.
 No report is expected from pr. Dew ron, who was sent to Leesville to assist the sick there and make a report on the number i'll with yellow fever until Sunday. pr. Devron's journey covers over sixty miles in a gasoline launch.
 Preparations were being completed today for an extensive observance to- morrow of the Immigration appeal of the Federal authorities. Supply depots have been open throughout the day in all the precincts of the city and sul- phur has been given away free to all who are unable to pay for the dis infectant. Because of the fear of dam age from the use of sulphur which so many authorities have expressed. the medical authorities authorized the use of pyrethrum which. while suf- ficient to stun all mosquitoes, is con- sidered entirely harmless otherwise.
 Rev. Dr. Beverly Warner has done much to arouse the interest of the public in the proposed disinfection and said today that he believed that there would be few houses In the city to- morrow in which there would not be an effort made to destroy the fugitive stegomyia. In the general situation, Dr. Warner said:
 Everything loks fine. We have fin ished another week most excellently and everything is moving toward per feet control of the situation. It Is most gratifying"
