Shortly before s o'clock a. m. there

The explosion caused the fall OF a

this Is cleared away it will not be
known definitely just how many more

The explosion was caused by gas
and the deaths were caused by the gas

Washington, Feb. 20.-president
Roosevelt has transmitted to congress-
the report OF the board of consulting

SITUATION is GRAVE
GERMANY ABSOLUTELY REJECTS
FRENCH PROPOSALS FOR Po.
LIclNG OF MOROCCO.

Paris, Feb. --Germany's rejection
of Frances proposals at Algeciras that
the proposed Moroccan police SYSTEM
shall be French and Spanish has
given renewed gravity to the Franco
German situation. 1t is officially an
nounced that Germany's action leaves
France no course but to terminate the
private negotiations and appeal to the
Judgment of the world before the open
conference. This decision suspends
the meetings between NJ. Revolt, mead
OF the French mission at Algeciras,
and Herr Won Radowitz, chief Of the
German delegation, at which they have
been seeking TO find an accord The
neutral powers, including the United
States, strongly approved of these pri.
vate exchanges as being the best
means of avoiding an open discussion
of the controversy. The failure to
agree and Frances determination TO
end the private negotiations bring the
parties to a deadlock. This promises
20 result in a prolonged crisis, in
which each side maintains the posi-
ton which it took up before the open
conference. The sentiment In official
circles is that Germany's reply tends
to destroy the usefulness OF the CON
ference LS making an agreement i'm
possible. 1t is expected that the
strained situation will have the effect
OF renewing the alarmist war reports
and of arousing public apprehension.

The following ~eablegram sent from
Christiania under Sate of Feb. 10 in
the Chicago Daily News will be rea,
by Scandinavians generally with min
gled interest: 1.-THE king and queen
left for Copenhagen today to attend the
funeral of King Christian, Some mn
certainty prevailed as to whether they
should travel by rail through Sweden
or go by sea on a ~battleship. The
Swedish government preferred that
they should not pass yer Swedish
territory, fearing that there might be
a hostile demonstration of the feeling
which has hitherto found expression
IN numerous anonymous letters full OF
denunciations Of King Haakon and
Queen Maud. They, however, chose
to proceed Ivy railway through Sweden
in spite Of the threats, taking the posi-
ton that If the Swedish public did not
show them respect, while they were
on the way to the funeral of the kings
grandfather, 1t would be Sweden's
shame, and that IL the Swedish public
must tolerate Norway's king this was
the best occasion to begin. The Nor
wegian battleship Tordenskjold sailed
for Copenhagen today TO meet the
royal family"
Rev. Eriksen, the storthing repre-
sentative, would do away with the
Norwegian ~bishoprics. He believes
that bishops are unnecessary adjuncts
both so far as the churches and schools
are concerned. The reverend gentle
man has naturally encountered consid-
cradle opposition aud the church de-
partment has sent out a circular let
cular letter inviting a discussion on
the subject.
King Haakon and Queen Maud are
becoming quite proficient on "skees."
The Aftenposten states that both the
king and queen take an unusual inter
est in the sport and will soon be able
TO handle themselves on skees without
the slightest awkwardness.
Ship building is in great progress In
Norway at present. At the present
time there are eighty sail and steam
ships under construction, representing
in all 60.SOO tons.
The Norwegian state railways must
pay $4,000 damages for the forest fire
In St~orelvdalen In the summer of 1904.
The fire was started from the sparks
Of a locomotive.

Lillian, for as she stepped off the

complexion was fresh and rosy, hef
eyes seemed to dance with the gayely
of perpetual youth, but her figure
had undergone a slight change. MISS
Russell looked more plump IMAM

icoupIe had been married in France,
but when the rumor was repeated to
Lewisohn his tall frame shook with
laughter.

again. he said. NO, we are not a
ried, although we are the best of
friends. Miss Russell is a charming
woman and a good woman and we
are getting tired denying rumors of

story was sent out, and he told me
hat he was dead broke and had ben
so for a month. At Nice they had

Xix had been unable to accompany
