Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, June 24.-George Williams,
the fourteen-year-old musical prodigy
who composed an oratorio in three
weeks, is going to America. One of his
uncles, David Williams, who occupies
a responsible position with the Car
negie Steel Works in Pittsburg, and Is
now on a visit here. has persuaded the
boys parents to allow the lad to ac-
company him to the United States. 1t
is the uncle's intention to send him to
one of the American colleges where he
will receive a good general education
and at the same time find facilities for
prosecuting his musical studies AT
present he is attending the National
School at Chingford. village on the
borders of Epping Forest where his
parents live. While they are far from
being poverty stricken, with a large
family on their hands they cannot af-
ford to give the boy the training need
ed for the development OF his undoubt-
edly remarkable musical talents.
Williams is almost entirely self
taught He has never been instructed
in harmony and composition. An old
text book that fell into his hands has
been his sole mentor in those studies.
1t is not contended that any of the
compositions he has thus far produced
will ever rank as masterpieces. But
considering MS youlH dio enlhc idcA
of adequate training they afford his
friends good ground for the hope that
If properly instructed and placed In a
stimulating environment. he may some
day make his mark as composer.
Anyhow, his American uncle will see
to II that he gets a fair chance. Aside
from his musical gifts there is nothing
about the boy that could be character
lied as precocious. He has never been
spoiled by fiattery and adulation. He
is modest younster and quite shy
when strangers are around. Nearly all
his spare time he spends at the plano.
On that account he has not the robust
health of most countryb bred boys.

ceremony as possible.
Not only is Oscar interested in art
and literature. but he is thoroughly ac-
quainted with all the geographical, min
ing and Industrial resources of his king
dom. and has studied many scientific
subjects He is particularly fond Of
planning improvements for the cities of
his domain, and frequently draws plans
himself for changes or additions.
Any sketch of King Oscar would be
incomplete without a reference to his
personal bravery. OF all his decorations
one of the most priced is a plain gold
medal conferred upon him by the French
Government for saving life near Nice
in 1861. At the risk of his own life he
stopped two runaway horses that were
about to dash over a precipice with the
carriages and three occupants. The King
also saved child from drowning In
the Mediterranean by plunging into the
sea and bringing it to shore.

Busy Col, Rryau,

Col. WILLIAM j. BRYAN has been COM
PEELED by the pressure Of his political
duties to engage the services Of an az
sistant to aid him in editing and publish
ing his prosperous and widely circulated
weekly newspaper Previous to the cleo
ton of Nov. 8, 1901, Col. BRYAN found no
difficulty in performing the functions
of journalist and party leader. Since
then, however, the development OF his
governmental theories and policies has
gone forward with such rapidity that
they demand his whole attention.
Up to a certain point Col BRYAN felt
justified in allowing the details OF his
plans for the Capitalization Of power in
tho Federal Government TO be worked
out by others, and under the direction
of managers in whom he had confidence.
But IA soon as it became evident that
Col. BRYAN's sympathizers in Congress
and the Executive Department of the
Government were ready to enact into
law his suggestions, he felt the necessity
Of devoting his personal attention to the
management OF the final proceedings.
Hence the announcement from Lincoln,
Neb., that RICHARD METCALFE has been
engaged TO act as the associate editor of
the CommOner.
Until the present session Of Congress
Col. BRYAN has not had the pleasure OF
seeing his beliefs and recommendation
make great Roadway in the Executive
or Legislative Departments of the ma
tional Government. He now seems to be
near his first victory as a radically con-
structive statesman. His desire 10 su-
pervise, direct and shape the final Incl
dents Of a crusade in which he has fought
for nine years is natural and entirely
comprehensive. But his personal par
ticipation at the present time does not
appear to be necessary for its success.
His battle is being fought for him by
enthusiastic, determined and resourceful
allies in public office.

Compelling a Territory

The power OF Congress TO create new
States out of territorial areas, and to
define the boundaries thereof, may be
admitted as a general proposition But
in the case Of Arizona, now under active
consideration in Washington, this power
is evidently curtailed and modified by
the express terms OF the enabling act of
1868 by which Arizona was separated
from New Mexico Of which it originally
formed a part
That act provides that the said Gov
eminent shall be maintained and be con-
tinued until such time that the people
residing in said Territory, with the con-
sent of Congress, form a State Govern
ment, republican in form, as prescribed
in the Constitution of the United States,
and apply for admission into the Union
as State on an equal footing with tho
original States.
From this it might be inferred that the
people Of the Territory were to have a
voice in their disposition, and it might
also be inferred that they could not
rightfully and lawfully be disposed of in
a manner contrary to their wishes.
For its bearing upon this question
reference may be made to a communica-
ton, dated Jan. 20, 1905, from the Legis-
lature of the Territory to its delegate
the Hon j F. WILSON, in Washington.
1t opens with the following statement:
We. the Legislative Assembly. representing the
unanimous sentiment OF the people OF this Terri
tory. most respectfully. earnestly and emphatioOlly
protest against the proposal embodied in the bill.
now pending before the Senate of the United States
make one state OF the Territories OF Arizona and
New Mexico
As New Mexico is only less strongly
opposed to this union than is Arizona,
and as both Territories prefer to remain
as they are rather than be joined to-
gether, a compulsory union by act of
Congress is manifestly unjust and I'M
American. II they cannot be admitted
as separate and independent States,
they should not be forced into union
which is hateful to both.

The Museum OF Novcli,ts' Models,

The Hon. CHARLES ". TABER, a dis
tinguished novelmaker of Chicago, has
revealed to the Press Club Of that hamlet
knowledge Of great pith and moment
to his trade. He has completed @psv-
Geological and sociological" novel Was
its psychology true flashlight picture
of the human interiors of the book?
Was its sociology a genuine hunk of that
all-enfolding science? Mr.. TABRR asked
himself these questions. A conscien-
tious manufacturer, he wished 10 prove
and justify his products.
In a moment of inspired naturalism,
Mr. TABER determined TO put the sub
jective by the side OF the objective, to
verify his work, TO confront his art with
nature Painters and sculptors draw
and model from life. Mr.. TABER, Dor
rowing and lettering their instruction,
collected models Of the emotions, founded
unconsciously a psychological and So
Geological museum. He did not trust
10 chance observations He was not
content TO wander about Chicago, as
DICKENS used TO wander about London.
In the generation since DIcKENs's death
much has been learned. Mr.. TABXR adj
vertised. He wanted TO see and hear
persons who had experienced great
grief. rage, love, hate, temptation. and
other expressions of the passions,
He had so many answers that he de-
cided 20 conhne himself to Chicago APP
plications He had his emotion demon
strators visit him in his observation par
lor in Evanston He called on them and
studied them, by their own fresides and
in their own flats and furnished rooms.
Thus he won not only much subtle psy-
Geological and sociological detail; he
went home dripping with local color
and saturated with environment.
Sister arts and sciences lent hand.

seums, with adequate modern facilities,

In this time Of associated capital and
effort, the novelists' industry should be
adjusted to all the modern conveniences.
Independent modelling, however praise
worthy, will be essentially wasteful and
incomplete. Associated studies in NIL
seums are needed Mr.. TABER begins
eIcellently the important work.
Individual modelling might make too
much demand upon the already over
worked psychological and sociological
systems Of the detectives.

American people, arc urgent for the in
crease Of our navy in ships and in men;
but how arc We 10 keep up this enlarged
service efficiently if some method OF
preventing the desertion OF one-ffth
of the force annually is not devised and
enforced?
Distinguished officers Of the navy have
written to us urging reform, by which
inefficient officers shall be put out Of
places Of command; but they have dealt
only indirectly with this alarming evil
of wholesale assertions by seeming to
attribute it, in part at least to moral and
professional incapacity in the officers
with whom they would dispense in the
active service. They have implied that
certain ships commanders are especially
unfortunate in losing men by desertion.
Does not this suggest that the trouble is
not entirely due to moral laxity or de-
linquency in the enlisted men?
1t is a very serious matter. Ia IL pos
sible that the American soldier or sailor
has been rendered unfit for military
subordination by his independence in
civil life, so that mutiny in his eyes is
simply form of strike "a liberty OF con-
duct to which he is fully entitled as an
American citizen?
These, fortunately. are questions
which never arise in time Of war. De-
sertion then is disreputable and criminal
in the estimation of. both the enlisted
men end Of tho civilian public but in
the time Of peace it seems to be more
and more regarded by both as an
excusable exercise Of individual indie
pendence, humorously described as

/ many, whose interposition would natu-
rally be more effective, because osten-
sibly more disinterested, than that OF
Russia's avowed ally Under the cir
cumstances, the French Foreign Office
would have no more cause for resenting
the choice Of Germany as mediator
than it had for Directing TO the selection
of the same power as q third partner in
tho triple combination which forced
Japan TO surrender the LiaCtung PENN
sula. If the British Government should
assent TO the German Chanoellor's pro-
posal, the hearty cooperation Of France
may be taken for granted. So might
that Of the United States.
Even if an offer to mediate were made,
and negotiations for peace should take
place, it is, of course, possible that these
might prove abortive. Whether an agree
ment could be reached would depend
largely upon Japan. What would be the
irreducible minimum of her demands?
Unquestonably abe would insist upon
Russia recognizing her protectorate over
Corea and her right to retain, If she

tial condition of peaoe that Russia should
evacuate the whole OF ManchuTia and
turn over to the Chinese Government
all the Manchurian railways, including
even the line that runs from the Siberian
frontier by way of Hardin to Vladivc-
stok? Would she ask moreover, for
large pecuniary indemnity? Would
Russia, finally, be expected to cede the
island OF Saghalien? We know OF no
reason why Russia should not give back
that island, which she obtained by pres
sure that at the time the Toxic Govern
ment was unable to resist. Neither
could the Car reasonably refuse to reim-
burse his antagonist for a part of tho
outlay to which the latter has been sub
jected. 1t would be far easier 10 obtain
in Berlin, Paris, London and New York
the funds needed for an indemnity than
it would be to procure new loans for a
further prosecution of the war
One thing is certain. The Russian
Government has too much trouble on its
hands at home to carry on successfully
war at the further end of Asia That
is the reason why the interesting de-
spatches of our London correspondent
are intrinsically probable.
