Coronation of King Haa*
kon the Cause
NO OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE
SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE MAY
BE NAMED TO ATTEND THE
CONVENTION AS NO MINISTER
HAS YET BEEN PROVIDED FOR
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SENATE.

Washington May 1.-THE state de-
partment is confronted with the ques-
tion as to whether or not it will be
obliged to name special represen-
tative of the government and the peo-
pie of the United tSates to attend the
approaching coronation of HaalSon as
king of Norway. In the ordinary
course the American minister to Nor
way would be charged under spec
ial commission to undertake this rep
resentation but so far there Is no such
official. Provision is made in the
pending diplomatic and consular APP
preparation bill for the creation of a
ministry and legation at Christiana
and it has been formally announced
that as soon as the Office is created
III. III. ID. Pierce, at present third as
sistant secretary of state, will be
nominated for the post, but the date
for the ceremony is near at hand and
1t is doubtful whether or not this en-
actment and necessary confirmation
of the nomination can be had before
the middle of June, which would be
too late.
Thedepartment has been canvass
ing some names and it is understood
that special appointment as minis
ter for this occasion has been tender

TIGATED.
Interstate Commerce Committee Inves-
tigation is DeIving Deeper Into the
Matter of Car observation-disclosures
tant Witness on the Stand Today.

Philadelphia. May 17.--The inter-
state commerce commission resumed
its investigation into the alleged dis
elimination in the distribution of coal
cars. The most important witness at
the early session of the commission
was Michael Trump. general superin-
tendent Of transportation. Previous
witnesses who had testified concern
ing the distribution of cars informed
the commission that they had acted
under orders from Mr.. Trump. The
latter will be required by the commits
sion to explain telegraphic orders
sending special assignments Of cars to
certain coal companies. This will be
especially so in the case of the Ber-
wind White Co, a special order for
800 cars daily having been received by
Superintendent Creighton at Altoona
for that company. VIM. A. Patton,
assistant to President Cassat, has
been subpoenaed and will probably be
called during the day.

PRIMARY BILL PASSED.
Illinois Has a New Measure That is
Denounced.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 17.-After a
sensational speech by Lieut.. Gov.
Sherman, the special session Of the
Illinois legislature, was called by
Governor Deneen to enact a new pri-
mary election law. The vote resulted
today in the adoption of a bill framed
by Speaker E. d. Shurtleff The meas
ure had a close call, receiving only
bare majority in the house. 1t lis
said that Governor Deneen will sign
the bill, making it law July l. Lieut..
Gov. Sherman made a speech after he
announced the vote. He said:
There is not one line in 1t you may
point to and say that it gives the peo-
pie the right to say whom 8hey shall
nominate. 1t puts a premium on
gerrymandering and future deadlocks
In conventions. 1t portrays a great
and painful motion without one inch
of progress. 1t seems to me that it
was conceived in a refrigerator and
born in a frost"

Recent Seismic Disturb
ance Influenced Report
COMMITTEE FEARED DAMAGE
MASONRY ON LOCK CANAL PLAN
LIKELY TO BE INJURED PER-
MANENTLY BY THE EFFECTS
or THE QUAKE, CAUSING DE-
LAY OR ABANDONMENT.

Washington, May 17.--That the
earthquake which destroyed San
Francisco was an important factor in
determining the vote of the senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals in
favor of the sea level type is apparent
from the majority report in favor of
the sea level submitted today by Sem
ator Kitteridge.
On the subject of danger from
earthquakes on the isthnus and the
possible effect on the two types OF
canal proposed, the report says:
s'The canal structures that would be
most exposed to injury by the passing
Of an earth wave or violent move
ment Of the earth's surface are the
locks proposed by the minority whose
walls many hundred feet or even g.
600 or 5000 feet long at Gatun would
at least some Of them, be more than
feet high and entirely un-
supported on one side save for a part
|of the height by water. II these walls
should be moved at all the natural
|and probable result would be in their
leaning and so preventing closing OF
the gates, an injury for which the
suggestion of extra gates on hind
would be useless for no one could
guess the extent of the movement But
most likely the effect of such a shock
would be the fracture of these locks
In repairing of which much time,
months or years, might be required
and thus cause the Interruption of
traffic or the abandonment Of the
canal

TWO ALIENATION SUITS.

After Rickard of That City.

Grand Forks, N. D., May 17-Two
actions one in Grand Forks county,
and one in Polk county, have been
commenced by j. e. Cooley against
G. w. Rickerd. In both the complaints
$4,000 damages is asked for the al
legged alienation of his wife's affec-
tions.
1t is not probable, however, that
both of the suits will be tried. The
first suit was conmenceu in Polk
county by the plaintiff and at that
time the Grand Forks Lumber Co.'s
property was attached to cover any
interest that the defendant. Mr.. Rick
erd, might have in 1t. The other suit
was started in the Grand Forks dis
