THE disposition Of people to take
sides in any kind Of an old fight Is
abundantly illustrated in the wide
spread interest in the Russo-Japanese
war. Nearly all the people Of this sec
ton are partisans of one side or the
other; but most of the sympathy is
with the Japs. The almost inconceiv-
able energy and endurance Of these
people and their splendid courage have
compelled general admiration.

THERE Is now a movement on foot
to have the United States pension all
daughters Of soldiers Of the Revolu-
tion. There are only few more than
800 Of these women now living, and 1t
is pointed out that it would take but
a comparatively small sum for this
great government to provide them with
a neat pension for the balance Of their
lives, which at best cannot be long.
This proposition at first appeals to the
sympathy Of the people who read It,
but a little study Of the proposition,
remarks the Anderson Intelligencer,
will convince one Of the danger that
lies beneath the surface. If 1t Is estab-
lished as a precedent that the daugh-
ters Of all soldiers are to be pensioned,
the next thing that we will hear Of
will be the proposition to pension the
daughters of the War Of 1912, and then
those of the Indian wars and the Mex
ican war, then the daughters Of the
war between the states, and finally the
daughters of the Spanish American
war soldiers. There is no telling to
what extent this will proceed If 1t
starts. The daughters Of Revolution
airy soldiers may richly deserve help in
many instances, but where in the
world is this business to stop?

ACCOUNTING for the large volume OF
privilege tax tags paid for as compar-
ed with last year, the Greenville Her
aid calls attention to the fact that cot
ton seed meal. used as cow food now
has to pay tax the same as when used
for fertilizers. This is since June l.,
1904. Previous to then large quanti-
ties of meal were sold for COW food
and used as fertilizers. AS many as
10000 tons of cotton seed meal have
been sold for cow food during year.
and of this there was no record. All
of this meal now counts as fertilizers
no matter whether it is to be so used
or not 1t is quite certain that much
of it is used as cow food. The Herald
also suggests that it Is to the interest
Of the fertilizer companies to make 1t
appear that the farmers are using as
much fertilizers as usual. If the far
mers in one section believe that the
farmers in another section are using
large quantities of fertilizers they will

SEPARATED FROM
OLD SWEDEN
Union Which Has Existed With
Norway Since 1914
Is Dissolved.

Christiana, June Skiing Oscars
refusal to sanction the bill passed by
the storthing providing for separate
consular service for Norway culmina-
ted yesterday in the passage OF a
resolution by the storthing declaring
the dissolution of the union of Sweden
and Norway and that the king has
ceased to act as king Of Norway. AL
though the action was anticipated, it
caused considerable eXcite ment in
this city on account of the anxiety as
to what action the king would take.
The crisis became acute May 26 when
his majesty after three months rest
during which the regency was conf
ded to Crown Prince Gustave resum-
ed the reigns of office. The council
of state Immediately submitted to
him the consular bill which he May
% refused to sanction arguing that
of the mixed council. The Norwegian
council Of state thereupon resigned
and the king refused to accept their
designations as in view of the state
of public opinion it was impossible to
form a new government. Demon
stratons were held throughout the
county indorsing the action of the
council of state.
The consular bill while apparently
of little Importance was designed TO
open the whole question of foreign af-
fairs, which Norway desires to man
age independently of Sweden

firm IN HOUR
OF DISASTER.
The Russian Government Does
Not Yield to the
Demands.
UKASE HAS BEEN ISSUED
Gar Confers Responsibility Upon
Gen. Trepoff- He is Instructed to
Take Steps to Prevent interference
With Established Regime.

st. Petersburg, June 5.-The Rus
sian government has shown that it
has not weakened in this hour of dis.
aster. Instead of yielding to the
stormy demands which the radicals
hoped Admiral Rojestvensky's defeat
would force the government to grant,
the emperor issued a ukase Sunday
comforting greatly increased powers
on Governor General Trepof, making
his assistant minister Of the interior
in place of Major General Rydzefsky,
who is made a senator; also chief in
the department of police and COM
mander Of corps. Governor TrepOff
is given authority to control all as
SemblieS and congresses, to suspend
indefinitely all societies, leagues and
other bodies manifestlng pernicious
activities and to take all other steps
necessary to preserve order SO as to
prevent interference with the estab-
lished regime AMI 10 suppress the
revolutionary propaganda. This u&aSe
intrusts almost dictatorial powers to
the head of the imperial police to con-
troll the agitation now almost peremp
torilv demanding a constitution, rep
resentative government and the sur
render of the vital principles of the
,utocracy.
The document is Of the deepest i'm
portance in the present state of Rus
STA and indicates that the government,
while steadily proceeding in it's PANS
for the fulfllment of the Imperial
promises contained in the r2script Of
Marcl 3, is determined got to be
swerved from its purpose by the pres
sure of military aId naval disasters,
but in its own time and as speedily
as possible to give the nation the
legislative body on which the Eouli-
gan commission has been working.
In it may also be read the intimation
that the war will continue and that
the question of peace will not be sub
mitted to a zemsky sober.

of this place, came very near losing
his wife and now that she is cured and
restored to good health his gratitude

My, wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could
not live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to 1870 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 100,

MYSTERY EXPLAINED
Henry Lochty, Old German, Knew
Dead Mans Secret.

Des Moines, June 9.-The Dubois
mystery was cleared in Judge HoWe's
court yesterday. Henry Lochty an old
German, a bosom friend of Dubois,
was the only man who knew the sec
ret of the dead contractor, and to
whom had been confided the informa
ton that would have sent Dubois to
the Ienitentiary.
Lochty, who had evaded the service
Of the subpoena for days, was brought
into court yesterday morning by the
sheriff and told the secret which was
supposed to have been held by Dr.
Hoffman, and which up to the trial
yesterday had never been divulged.
Lochty testified that Dubois fire.

travagantly Just before his death
Dubois had cOnfided in him the Sc
crct of the three wives, and given
the address of each. 1t was on his
instructions that Lochty sent the
mysterious kilograms which brought
Mrs. Mary Dubois Of Denver and Mrs.
Melvina Dubois of New Orleans to
join Mrs. Victoria Dubois of Des

tious name to the mysterious tele-
grams but later signed his true name.
He said the only reason he kept the
secret was because he didn't want to
become involved in the case.

STRIVES TO END
BLOODY WAR
President Of United States
in the Worlds
Eye.
GOOD PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS
Pend 'ng Negotiations Assume Fa-
vorabIe Phase--Peace Not Yet in
Sight, But There Is More Ground
for Hope Of Successful Termination

| Washington, June 9.-The car has
at last been heard from here and the
result is not unfavorable to peace. In
| his recent audience with Mr.. Meyer,
! the American ambassador, the car
| indicated a willingness to take under
advisement' the subject of peace and
expressed warm appreciation of the
friendly words of Mr.. Meyer, speak
ing as the personal envoy of the
president. The reception of Mr.. Mey-
er was characterized by the greatest
cordially and friendliness and the
ambassadors cablegram to the pres
ident giving a general account of the
audience is of distinctly hopeful
tone. Mr. Meyer did not bring to the
st. Petersburg government an offer
of mediation, but a friendly offer OF
good WILL" as it was described by
Count Cassini, which apparently was
gratifying to the ear Further than
this it is impossible to record the
character Of the cablegram.
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minis
ter, called by appointment at the
White house yesterday afternoon and
spent half an hour with the president.
He was still unable to give the pres
ent the slightest indication regarding
JapaE's peace terms, but it is be-
| lieVeI that he was acquainted in
general way with the hopeful tone
of Mr. Meyers dispatch, and with
! this as lever the hope is expressed
| here that the mikadO will meet the
president half way in the earnest eff
forts he is making to assist in bring
ing about an early leace.
Earlier in the afternoon Baron Kan
EXC, the Japanese financial adviser,
was received by the president and
, discussed the whole situation. Earon
Kanedo said that Japan had not re-
ceived directly or indirectly any re-
| quest for statement of peace terms.
| It was indicated that Japan would be
| loath to give any such statement I'M
| til convinced that Russia was pre-
| pared to take up the question Of
| peace with the intention Of ending
! the war
! 1t is not expected that the situation
will change radically in the next day
or two. Until some indication comes
! from Japan of her attitude in the
light of the spirit shown by the car,
the negotiations can hardly be eX-
pected 70 progress. Meantime, power
full, though friendly, Influences are
being brought to bear on Japan to be
moderate in her demands. 1t has
been pointed out that Japan and Rus.
STA always must be close neighbors.
and that if Jaran is unreasonable
now in her triumph she might be
again involved in war with Russia.
What effect these representations
may have on the mikado is, of course,
only conjectural.

Germany and United States Have
Finger in Negotiations.

Germany and United States Have
Finger in Negotiations.
Berlin, June 9.-The interview Bar
on Spec Won Sternburg, the German
ambassador at Washington, has had
with President Roosevelt and the
cable correspondence between the am
bassador and the foreign office here
resulted in the president and emperor
finding that they had identical views
on the subject of peace and were
nearly of the same opinion as to the
method of drawing Russia and Japan
into negotiations. The joint view ap-
peared to be that others, including
France and Great Britain, ought to
be left out, because to be sure Of com.
munity of views among all would be
a slow and cumbersome business and
would impress Russia as taking on
the character of outside pressure.
This is precisely what, as the Asso-
ciated Press is Informed. President
Roosevelt and Emperor William wish
to avoid. They wanted the emperor
of Russia to take the initiative and
sought only that he should avail him
SCH vi IllS AluCllCdll anu dCI HAL gov
ernments for making the first step
toward peace easier. The Russian
government was informed through
Count Cassini, the Russian amhassa-
dor at Washington, through Count
Alvensleben, the German ambassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, through Mr..
Meyer, the American ambassador at
st. Petersburg, and through Count
Won Osten- Sacken, the Russian am
bassador at Berlin of what the United
States and Germany were seeking so
that Ambassador Meyers audience of
Emperor Nicholas was prepared for
in the fullest manner. The under
standing here is that Emperor Mich
olas went SO far as to say to AM
bassador Meyer that he would like to
know what Japan's terms would be,
This inquiry was not to be construed
as asking for peace, but only as tell
ing friends that before taking so
grave a step on their advise the Rus
sian government might properly and
naturally desire to know through
those friends how Japan regarded
peace Japan, it is believed in govern
ment quarters here, will be reluctant
to lay down specific peace conditions,
far more reluctant than at any stage
of the war. because preparation has
been made to carry the campaign to
Russian territority, take Vladivostok
and Hardin and then exclude Russi.
from the Pacific. Unless her high
conditions are complied with this is
crude express of what is thought
to be Japans immediate policy.
