First floor HalW Building, Second avenue and Columbia s.reet. l!shf-d a channel varying frcm about 300 to 7<s> feet, and reserved to the state, as required by the constitution, a rim of 100 feet w ide along ea n si ie. The saw mills and other industries at that point are on the upland and along the edge of the river, it la quite probable that their yards, docks and general shipping fa cilities extend out to the channel end Occupy this narrcw reserved rim along the front. If they do not now It la in tended and expected that they will, end the constitution and statute* contemplate Its leasing for those very purposes. Un der tins decision of the supreme court it is simply made clear that e mill structure cannot be erected upon the reserved rim, and the most enlightened and modern au thorities on commercial and Industrial development are agreed that the deep water rim of a harbor frontage Is no place for such e structure. Third T*coma—The saw mills and oth er Industrial structures of Tacoma are. its elsewhere, on the upland or on acquired tide land, entirely free from any stats reservation. As in Seattle and the other places referred to, it is altogether likely that their yatds, warehouse#, wharves and siips extend out into the state reserve along the harbor rira; if they do not now. such progress and development of commercial facilities Is desirable and is provided for by the constitution end statute. With a fair knowing* of the relation of harbor ar<-us, tide lands and upland Sn the various cltits of Washington. 1 know of no Improvement or enterprise In the Mate which Li affected by the supreme court decision, except the Alnsworth A Dunn plant In Seattle, and their proposed plant at Maine, if It is located aa t-tat«d by Mr. Maine. Returning to the local situation I de sire to stare in conclusion that the harbor lines of Seattle w>re established only af ter year* of litigation. I*ocal interests brought such pressure as forced the lines westward outside almost every existing improvement.

Tha surrounding the delibera tions of tha anion committee and the result® of its two ymrsT mbalo n. has bl ooms public property. The committee waa appointed at th* r*<xu«st of the Nor wegian storthing, which July 1* passed the folio win* resolution: "Recognlxing that existing condition* demand a solution of the union difficul ties. and referring to and rsadopting the resolution passed by the storthing April 23. 1K», which maintains the sole sover eignty of Norway in ail matters which an- not apeoified in the ngsakt as c<*n mon, the storthing is of the opinion and hereby resolves, that the government, acting In harmony with the storthing, shail endeavor to further joint negotia tions between the two raaims for the purpose of reaching a mutually satisfac tory arrangement of the consular sys tem, and the admlr*istratlon of all for eign affairs in conformity with the Inde pendence of the two countries end their equal position In the union, such nego tiations to l«e carried on for the purpos* of reform, if it should be found advanta geous to retain common and a common foreign minister, or for the pur pose of establishing a separate consular system aid a se;*arate minister of for eign affairs for each realm." Nov»-mt>-r 13, I«*>. the king thought the matter up tn a joint session of his cabinets, who adopted the following res olution: "Resolved. That a committee of Swedish end Norwegian electors be apposed to draft propositions for such changes in tho union relations of Sweden and >Bor way as may be found necessary, and will tend to prevent complications which might arise owing to the Incompleteness and uncertainty existing in the union treaty. "That the separate cebinet of each king dom shall have a preeidegu and six mem bers of such committee. "That the committee shall hold it» first meeting at Stockholm in November, or the first i»art of Deonnber of the pres ent year, at the iolnt ciall of Its presi dents. and if the committee should ad journ before its deliberations are com pleted, that its next meeting shall lw held In Chrlstanla. and that further meet ings shall I# he<d alternately in the cap itals of the two kingdoms. "That the Swedish and Norwegian pres idents each shall conduct the deliU ra tions ©f the committee for one week. "That the deliberations of the commit *.~e shall be kept both in Swedish and in Norwegian. That each committee shall be authorized to employ its secretaries, and that each country shail defray the expensfs of Its respective members and secretaries." This was the birth of the now fnmous committee, the third of IBs kind sinc<l Sweden and Norway became united, in I*l4. The Norwegian cabinet appointed the following* memb>rs: Attorney General Getz. president: Attorney Rehwtigard and MiniMer Thorne. representing the Conservatives; Judge Olai Olsen. repre senting the Center party, and Minister lilehr. \V.

As pre\ loucly stated, the committee has failed to asrrr«r> on any Joint recom mendation. The Swedish majority on the commit tee recommend th<» adoption of a new un ion treaty or rlksakt. containing forty flne paragraphs. The main points of this submitted r!k«akt are. that Stockholm «ttall be the residence of the king and tha f»en of the c-mmon office of fortdgn af fair* ; that the apanage to the king and apparent shall he paid p«t> rata, ac cording to population. ami cannot l*i changed during the lifetime of the king and crown prince, r*->r without the Joint r. solution of the Swedish riksdag "and the Norw kian storthing: that the naval flu? shall carry the union Jack; that the power of the king over the navy and ar my shall not be restricted; that both king doms shall maintain a minimum army Cor the common d<sr«»; that the new treaty aha I! supersede the con c t'tution of esr*t country ai d that it shall not he «ltere<J except by the consent of the king, the storthing and the riksdag, th i* gtv lng *h» king an absolute veto, contrary to the constitution of Norway.

The object of thi3 proposition ts to do away with the N*.*! - - wegian court of impeachment and thj provision of the Norwegian constitution, which gives the king only a suspension veto in ail matters. The Norwegian Liberals, represented by Biehr, Konow and Doviand: do not advocate a new union treaty, maintain ing that the Swedish and Norwegian con stitutions presuppose separate ministries of foreign affairs for each country and that the present treaty justifies and war rants suoh to be the case. The king needs only at joint sessions of th.? sepa rate ministries to submit Instructions for the co-operation of the ministries. Their report is of considerable length and besed upon references to the present treaty and the historical events which led to Its adoption. After closing its deliberations the com mittee was received at the palace by the king, who address d them as follows: "Gentlemen: You are about to sepa rate without fulfllllng the hope which I end many with me had entertained as to the results of your labors. You will un doubtedly remember my greeting to you when you first conver.ed. I refer to that tn this hour of parting. Before stuJying your propositions I cannot feel Justified in expressing my Judgment of Ihem. He or th-v who, in the light of impartiality are responsible for your disagreement, has. In my judgment, incurred a tremendous historical responsibility. May the Al mighty keep his protecting hand over the. future of my two kingdoms! May He preserve. In the twentieth century - , the union which, during the nineteenth, gave the brother countries security and its inhabitants peace!" The crown prince will open the Inter national fisheries exposition at Bergen on the 16th day of May, 183 S. Dr. Leonhard Steineger, the famous naturalist, who is an instructor at the Smithsonian Institution, and who, in con junction with Prof Jordan, of Stanford unlvers<ty, acted on Che United States sealing commission, has been proposed as United States commissioner to the Ber gen exposition. Dr. Steineger is a native, of Bergen. He Is recommended by Sena tor Knute Nelson and other prominent Republic? n.*. The appointment is in the hands of the United States fish commis sioners. The Klondike excitement has brought on a tremendous traffic in reindeer moss, wh!-»h is being shipp-d from all parts of the Norway mountain districts to main tain the United States Klondike relief and a number of American and Canadian private reindeer expeditions to the Klon dike region. Immediately following the ortrinizntion of the storthing, which convened the first part of this month, the Norwegian cab inet resigned. The ministry consisted of Francis Hagerup and Gregera Oram, premiers; Christian Olsson, minister of war; Jacob Sverdrup, minister of educa tion; Kildal. minister of finance and tariff: Thomas Englohart. member of the ministerial department at Stockholm; Harold Swedil. minister of justice anl |K)llce; Fr, Stauj; Lund, minister of the department of public works, and Olai Olf-n, minister of the interior. Th>j king has requested ex-Premier Bteen, the leader of the Norwegian Lib era's. who compose the majority in the storthing, to form a r.ew ministry. St. en has accepted the call and will form a cabinet which commands the confidence of tho storthing. STAR W onsim-nus. An tnkuunn H«*liltinn l-'ound la Mesopotamia. Christian Intelligencer.
