said there were not seven men in

perhaps SO, but that would not be

Bread and Stones.

It was the mother of Robert
Burns who said, when his monu-
ment was erected at Edinbor-
ough, that he asked them for
bread and they have given him a
stone"
He was not the first nor the
last of men of distinction to meet
a similar fate, for it has become
a trite phrase that
Seven rival towns contend for
Homer dead,
Through which the living Homer
begged his bread"
These sinister reflections are
inspired by the fact that move
ment has recently been set on
foot to erect a monument to the
memory of Captain Gridley,
whom Dewey addressed in those
historic words, "You may fire,
Gridley, when you are ready"
The brave com mander of the
Olympia did not long survive the
great conflict ia Manila bay, and
his services on that occasion are
in every way worthy of the COM
memoration proposed.
But the project to build a mon
to him brings out one of
those instances of the sarcas N of
fate which sometimes make it
seem pathetically true that re-
publics are ungrateful; for his
mother, it seem at the age Of
80, is employed in one of the gov
eminent departments at Wash
ington.
She states this fact as an apollo
CIV for her Inability to contribute
anything toward the erection OF
the proposed monument, and at
the same time she calls attention
to the tragic death Of Captain
Grid1ey's son, 10 the line of duty,
and suggests that the monument
jointly commemorate the death
of both her son and grandson.
A nobler sentiment than that
which prompts the erection of
monument to either of these he.
roes-e minently worthy of i:
though they are-would be to
provide a competency for the
aged mother of Captain Gridley.
That such a woman, at the adj
vauced age of so, should be earn
i e her daily bread in a depart
ment Of the government, is re-
proach to the government itself,
and if the people of the United
States wish to testify their ap-
probation of the services of the
dead commander they surely
could not do better than to p-o-
vide a competency for his Ge-
pendent mother.
Instances such as these are by
no means infrequent, but
they are none the less pathetic
waen they are brought to the al
tention of the general public.

Christiania, Norway, Aug. 1.-THE

vOr of the dissolution of the union
with Sweden with remarkable though
not unexpected unanimity. OF 100000
votes, 100000 cast ballots. The differ
ence between the total number of

sailors abroad and others who are out
of the country at present.
There were scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of
women who did not have the right of
franchise, signed petitions in the
streets indorsing the dissolution. In
Christiania and other cities the total
population turned out, everywhere
wearing long streamers of the national
colors and pictures of Premier Michel
sen.
One member of the cabinet said to
the Associated Press:
THE result surpasses the most
sanguine expectations. The next Of
fetal steps will be taken after the
storthing meets on August II, when
the result of the plebescite will be
communicated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
Storthing will repeat ,Ae request that
the riksdag declare the riksakt in op-
GRAFTON and the union dissolved. The
storthing will also express a willing
ness to negotiate concerning the de-
tails of the dissolution. 1t is the earn
est 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.

NO EXTRA SESSION,
Many Reasons Urged on President
AGAINST xaIl.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Not-
withstanding the more or less definite
announcement which has emanated
from various sources during the last
few months, congress may not be
called into extraordinary session next
November. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session will
be held this year.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt him
self. He has not decided definitely
yet and will probably not reach a de-
termination until he shall have re-
turned to Washington the latter part
of September. The chances of an ex-
traordinary session appear, however,
to be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
rot to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the
subject throughout the country that
the president has received a large
number of letters regarding it. Many
senators and representatives have
urged against an extra session.

Philadelphla.-The battleship Kan
sas, the largest war vessel ever built
in the east, was launched at 12.47 p.
m. Saturday at the yard of the New
York Shipbuilding company in Cam
den, N. j. The launching was witness
whose daughter acted as sponsor for
the ship. Along with the governor
was christening party of 80 Kansans.
An unusual feature of the launch
ing was the fact that the vessel was
christened with water brought from
Kansas by Governor Hoch instead of
the customary bottle of champagne.
This was the first time that water in
stead of wine has been used in launch
ing vessel in lnis vicinity.
Governor Hoch of Kansas made the
suggestion and he made the announce
ment after the launching that the
christening bottle contained only wa
ter.
The Kansas is a sister ship of the
Vermont.

ALL JAPAN WANTS
Her DEMANDS MADE KNOWN TO
RUSSIAN ENJOYS.
Russian ENJOYS Find Terms Too Se-
we're to Be AcceptabIe-No Fixed
Sum Is Named-Several Minor Pro-
visions in Proposed Peace Terms
May Be Made Basis of Negotiations.

Reimbursement for the expenses
war and the cession of the island OF
Sakhalin constitutes the main features
of the peace conditions handed by
Baron komura to M. Witte The word
indemnity was carefully avoided. the
term applied being reimbursement
for the cost of the war. No sum is
fixed, the amount being distinctly
withheld for mutual adjustment be
tween the two countries after the Jap
anese expenditures have been ascer
tanned.
These are the two all important con
ditions and those which the Russian
ENJOYS find absolutely unacceptable. |,
can be stated, however, that these two
principal conditions did not come as
a surprise to the Russian plenipoten
tiaries. The friendly fashion in which
Baron komura explained the condi
tiOns before handing them to M. Witte
and his avoidance of the word linden
nity'' in the presentation of Japan's
bill for the cost of the war, without
fixing sum, leaves the way open fol
negotiations and constitutes the main
hope that final agreement is pos
sible
The other terms are substantially
what the world expected, and with one
or. two exceptions, could probably be
entertained as a basis of negotiations
They include the following:
The cession of the Russian leases to
the Liaotung peninsula, comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny. The evacua
ton of the entire province of Man
churia, the retrocession to China of
any privileges Russia may have in the
province and the recognition by Rus
sia of the principle of the 'open door.
The cessiOn to Japan of the Chinese
Eastern railway below Harbin, the
main line through northern Manchu-
ria to Vladivostock to remain Russian
property; the recognition of the Jap
anese protectorate over Korea The
grant of fishing rights in Siberia north
ward from Vladivostock. The relin-
quishment to Japan of the Russian
