te^px'sw?' ill l1 I i SWEST "REPORT THAT RUSSIA WILL AC- CEPT TERMS OF PEACE. The HiTcl Will Probably Come on the Question of Indemnity and the Disarmament of Her Only Port in th Pacific Ocean. Petersburg-, June 12.A well de- fini'il report was current everywhere l'isv. nig-ht, although the Associated l'ress could not trace its source, that Uu-v.a had already practically ob riincd Japan's conditions, ai.-cl that they proved so surprisingly moderate mat Russia would certainly accept them as a basis for negotiations. There is an infinite amount of gossip here about Japan's terms, but it is al most altogether irresponsible, the best informed members of the diplomatic 'orps, even the British embassy, being convinced that while the main out lines are matters of common knowledge in America and in the chancellories of Murope, .Japan lias not revealed her exact terms, even to her ally. Russia is not likely to be recalci trant. According to tiie best advices, she is ready to abandon the whole of her Manchurian venture and give guar antees. The rub will come on the question of indemnity, which, it is the consensus of opinion in diplomatic circles, Japan will exact, but if it should be made moderate and sugar-coated so that it could be liquidated by the sale of the Chinese Eastern railway and the ces sion of Russian property and leases in the Kwantung peninsula, it might be overcome. Russia will probably insist on hold ing the rail way to "Vladivostok through Northern Manchuria, and will never subnet to the humiliation of disarm nient of her onlv port in the Pacific .UMUmmw Warren Machine Shop SWEISSON & JOHNSON, Props.

Independence Declared by the Storth- ingRuler Not Yet SelectedNor wegian People Said to Favor a Re- publicCause of the Trouble. Christiania, Norway. June 8.Nor- way Wednesday declared her independ ence from Sweden. She also proclaimed that King Oscar, ruler of Sweden and Norway, was dethroned from his king ship of Norway. The action was taken at. the session of the Storthing. Following, it the Storthing empowered the present state council to act as a government of Nor way until further notice, and to ex ercise the power heretofore appertain ing to the king. An address to the king was adopted, declaring that no ill feeling was enter tained against him. his dynasty, or the Swedish nation, and asking him to co operate in the selection of 'a young prince of the house of Bernadotte to occupy the throne of Norway. Although the action was anticipated, it caused considerable excitement in this city, on account of the anxiety as tc what action the king would take. The crisis became acute May 26, when his majesty, after three months' rest, during which the regency was confided to Crown Prince Gustaf, resumed the reins of office. The council of state immediately submitted to him the consular bill, which he. May 2S, refused to sanction, arguing that any action must receive the sanction of the mixed council. The Norwegian council of state thereupon resigned, and the king refused to ac cept their resignations, as in view of the state of public opinion it was im possible to form a new government. Demonstrations were held throughout the country 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 manage independently of Sweden. I Envoys Denied Audience. ^Stockholm, Sweden. June 9.King Oscar has refused "to receive the "depu tation appointed to present him the Norwegian storthing's address. The request that the king receive the depu tation was sent by the president of the storthing, M. Berner, who received a telegram from him reading as follows: "As I do not recognize the revolu tionary steps which the storthing in violation of the constitution and act of union and in revolt against its king has unfortunately taken, I decline to receive the deputation." Seeking New Ruler. Copenhagen. June 9.It is reported that the Norwegian government, in view of King Oscar's apparently defi nite refusal to consider the offer of the storthing to place a prince of the house of Bernadotte on the throne, has pri vately approached the Danish royal family to ascertain if an offer of the throne would be received by a member of it. preferably Prince Charles, son of Crown Prince Frederick. The' gen eral opinion expressed here is that such an offer would be refused. Will Avoid War. Copenhagen, June 10.King Oscar is quoted as saying that he would avoid war at any cost. It is understood that arrangements are actually being made for a national convention in Norway, and this, it is believed, will inevitably result in the declaration of a republic. According to well-informed persons here. Russia and Germany will refuse to recognize the Norwegian gov ernment until King Oscar consents to the disruption of the union. Church Burned.
