DISSOLUTION OF UNION
IS REGARDED INEVITABLE
The Norwegian People Have Decided
to Cut Loose From Sweden and
Remain Under Rule of
Monarch.

Christiania.-The Norwegian peo-
day, pronounced in favor of the disso-
luton of the union with Sweden with
remarkable though not unexpected
unanimity. OF 100000 voters, 800, 900
cast ballots. About one person in g.
900 voted against the dissolution. The
difference between the total number
of voters and the number of votes cast
is attributable to absentees, such as
sailors abroad and others who are out
of the country at present.
One of the members of the cabinet
said: "The result surpasses the most
sanguine expectations. The next Of
fetal steps will be taken after the
storthing meets on August 81, when
the result of the plebiscite will be
communicated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
storthing will repeat the request that
the riksdag declare the riksdag in
operation and the union dissolved.
The storthing will also express a will
ingness to negotiate concerning the
details of the dissolution. 1t is the
earnest desire of Norway to conclude
the dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes of Sweden in
other directions. If peace depends
upon abolishing the forts, they will be
abolished. Norway must remain
the people do not desire
republic"

THREE ARTICLES AGREED UPON.
Russians Concede These Demands
Made by Japan.

Portsmouth, N. H.-Three of the
twelve articles which constitute the
Japanese conditions of peace have
been agreed to by NJ White and
Baron Rosen on behalf of Russia.
They are:
First.-Russia's recognition of Jap
ans "preponderating influence" and
special position in Korea, which Rus
STA henceforth agrees is outside of her
sphere of influence, Japan binding
herself to recognize the suzerainty of
the reigning family, but with the
right to give advice and assistance to
improve the civil administration of
the empire.
Second. Mutual obligation to evac-
uate Manchuria, each to surrender all
special privileges in that province,
mutual obligation TO respect the "ter-
ritorial integrity" of China and to
maintain the principle of equal oppor-
tunity for the commerce and industry
of all nations in that province (open
door,.
Third.-The cession to China of the
Chinese eastern railway from Hardin

RUSSIA WILL NOT
PAY INDEMNITY
Nevertheless Japan Will Insist
Upon All the Demands
Presented.
Poor Prospects Of Peace SO Long as
Japan Insists Upon Russia Paying
All the Expenses of the War.

Portsmouth, N. H.-Russia's reply
to the Japanese terms has been de
livered by NJ Witte to Baron Komura
The reply is written, there being two
texts-one in French, the other in
English. Upon the two crucial points,
| indemnity and the cession or the
island of Sakhalin, the reply is an abb
solute non-possimus. Other points are
accepted as basis for discussion, while
others are accepted conditionally. The
reply Is rather long, because in emu
merating conditions upon which discus
sion is admitted, and those on which
consideration is declined, reasons and
arguments are given. The Japanese
plenipotentiaries are expected to ask
for an immediate adjournment to ex-
anime and prepare their reply. M.
White will probably intimate that the
Russian plenipotentiaries expect the
Japanese to display as much expedi
ton as they 1.-THE Russians) have
shown in the preparation of their re-
sponse."
The tactics of the Japanese are in
scrutable. They have shown through
out the war their ability to guard their
secrets, military, naval and diplo-
matte, and now not the remotest clue
comes from behind their closed doors |
as to whether they are prepared to
make substantial concessions. Silence |
and secrecy are their watchwords.
But if the conditions as submitted
constitute their last word, hope of
peace may be regarded as having dis
if the feeling reflected In
Russian circles is a true criterion.
And that no substantial concessions
on the main issues will be made is the
belief both in Russian and Japanese
circles

directions and the negro was finally
captured. He was taken to the court
house square, chained to stake and
burned before an immense crowd or
excited citizens. The name of the me-
gro was Tom Williams. He attempted

oYAMA PREPARED TO STRIKE.
Just as Soon as It is Certain Negotia-
tons Will Fail

Portsmouth, N. HIT seems to be
taken for granted among the at
taches Of both the Japanese and Rus
sian missions that there will be no
general battle in Manchuria while the
peace negotiations are on. Oyama is
prepared to strike the moment the ne
gotiations fail, and there may be more
or less outpost engagement while the
troops are getting in position, but it is
admitted on each side if either Oyama
or Linevitch should deliberately
bring on a general engagement, which
might cost $4,000 or 100000 lives. his
country would be accused of bad faith
in the negotiations here and would la,
evitably lose prestige in the eyes of
the world In the larger sense. there
fore, 1t can be said that an armistice
already exists in Manchuria. Should
the negotiations be vainly prolonged
and IL became evident that they were
to be fruitless. the advance of Oyama
or Linevitch might be the signal for
the final rupture. The unexpected at
tack on Port Arthur might be repeated
below Hardin.
