THE KING OF SWEDEN
TALKS FOR ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Justifles His Attitude Toward Norway
Will Permit No Member Of His
Family to Ascend Norwegian
Throne.
Stockholm, July 5.-King Oscar
granted private audience to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press at
the imperial palace yesterday.
In a lengthy conversation his ma
1esty expressed his views on the pres
ent situation and said emphatically
that he would never allow any of his
sons or his grandsons to accept the
Norwegian throne. In speaking of the
attitude of Norway, the king displayed
deep emotion and expressed his heart
felt sorrow at Norway's treatment Of
him after forty-two years OF unceasing
labor for its happiness and prosperity.
His majesty said he wished to con-
vey through the Associated Press his
gratitude for hundreds of expressions
of sympathy received from the United
States.
In the course of the conversation
King Oscar reiterated his official ut
terances regarding his position on the
consular bill passed by the Storthing
and the events which followed his veto
Of it, and said:
when the King of Norway consid-
ers that the welfare of the country
demands that he shall veto a bill
passed by the Storthing his right to
do so is Internationally shown in Nor
ways constitution, and he would be
false to his oath if he did not exercise
this right in accordance with his con-
science.
"The constitution gives the Storth-
ing the power to pass a measure over
my veto, prescribing. however, that
this can only be done by the bill being
passed by three consecutively elected
Storthings. The consular bill was
only passed by one Storthing.
"As king of Norway it was Of the
utmost necessity that should always
keep before my eyes the first article
of the constitution, which reads: The
kingdom of Norway is a free. inde-
pendent and inalienable country.
united to Sweden under one king
Therefore 1t was imperative before ap-
proving bill separating the consular
systems of Sweden and Norway that 1
should consider the welfare and in
,terests of both countries, and | had a
perfect right as king of Norway to
refuse my sanction.
"The refusal of the Norwegian Cab
!inet to countersign my veto was in
excusable, as the constitution pre-
scribes that the king may decide ac-
cording to his judgment and that all
his orders must be countersigned by
the Cabinet.
"Thus the Norwegian constitution,
my own conscience and my considera-
,tion of the welfare of both kingdoms
Elwere the guide to my action in vetoing
the consular bill"

DENVER AUDITORIUM.
City Can Build, But Bonds Already
Voted Not Legal.

Denver, July 4.-Denver has a right
finder it's charter to issue bonds and
build an auditorium, but the conten-
tion Of Judge Hallett is correct that
the thirty-year bonds proposed for that
purpose by the city administration are
Illegal. This is the decision of the
State Supreme Court in the auditorium
icase.
Following a favorable vote OF the
Icitizens last year, Mayor Speer pre-
pared to issue 100000 worth of bonds
for the purpose of building an audi
Itorium in which great meetings could
lbe held. Judge Moses Hallett, acting
for the Clayton estate, fought the bond
proposition in the District Court and
secured a decision. There is pro-
vision in the charter which says that
municipal bonds shall be limited to
fifteen years. and the ordinance pro-
'viding for the proposed bonds reads
that they should run from fifteen to
thirty years.
Justice Steele wrote the opinion and
the entire court agreed upon the
proposition that the proposed issue of
bonds running thirty years would be
Illegal. On the point whether the
building OF an auditorium is a cor
.porate purpose within the meaning of
the law. four of the justices agree that
1t is and three dissent.
{; A third proposition that the court
passed upon was that the charter pro-
vision authorizing a vote on the bond
issue was defective. as it conficted
with another provision of the charter.
The court held that the charter will
have to be amended and the question

FARMERS ARE AN IT."
Total Products of the Soil Reach an
Enormous Sum.

Enormous Sum.
The farmers of the United States
are our greatest benefactors. In 1904,
Tor example, our farm products were
worth in the aggregate $4,90O,0O0,O0O.
m increase of 31.2 per cent over 1899
The sum is three times the gross

of all the national banks. The corn
crop would pay the national debt. Next
10 corn comes cotton, worth this year
500, 100000, while hay and wheat to-
ether about equal the value of corn.
The rice crop reaches nearly 1000, ,000.-
poo pounds, being 200,000,000 pounds
more than ever before. The secretary
of agriculture becomes impressive,
however, when he tells us that the pa
trlotic hens of the country in one
month lay eggs enough to pay years
interest on the public debt. The far
mer is said to be prospecting this year
beyond the record. To prove this the
secretary shows that in the three dis
tinctively agricultural states of Iowa.
Kansas and Mississippi the deposits in
all kinds of banks increased in the
eight years from June 80, 1896, to
October 81. 1904. by. respectively
