OSCAR MIGHT HAVE HAD DANISH THRONE. Apropos of King Oscar, it Is not generally known that if King Frederick Is on the throne of Denmark, it Is" In a great measure, ow im to In IKSI, when the great in to determine the succession to the throne of Denmark. the Danish favorite; that is to Kay. he was the prince whom King Frederick VII wished to have for his heir, a choice universally approved hy the Danish people.

His candidature to crown of Denmark was strongry supported by 111. who regarded him as a near relative mother was a Beauharnals nd a niece of tiueen Hortonse). and who realised the advantage which there would he to France in having a Gascon dynasty not only on the thrones of Sweden and Norway hut aluo upon that of Denmark. Oscar was at the time a third son. His father.

Oscar I. BOH of that Field Marshal Rernidottc who became King of Sweden, was still alive and throne. The elder of his two brothers. Crown Prince Charles, who was afterward to to the crown Sweden and Norway as Charles XV. had just married, and there was no reason to believe that he would not have a.

HUlge lamily of children. The other brother. Gustave. was kill. -d by a fall from his horse, a dashing and handsome cavalry officer.

Oscar's prospects of becoming ruler of Sweden and af Norway were therefore somewhat remote, and the temptation to accept the proffered place of Crown of Denmark was therefore very great. It was a sense of chivalry more than anything; list; that led him. much to the disgust of King Frederick of Denmark and of Napoleon 111. to withdraw at law last moment his candidature in favor of Prtnee Christian or Schleswig-Holstein rnarkalwut German prince, one of the younger sons of Duke Wiliiam of Schleawig-Holstoin GlucksburK. and who.

with a large family, had little l.eyond his pay as a cavalry cnptaln. Of troui th. point of view of heredity, the rights of Christian as a member of the house of Schieswlg-Holstein to the throne of Denmark were superior to i of Oaear. But the latter was hoicc of the Danish people, of the then Danish Kinp. and had the backing of Napoleon 111.

then one. of the most powerful in Europe. Consideration for the rights, such as they were, and. above all. for the necessities or Prliice Christian, caused Oscar to HKide.

and it whs the remembrance of this forbearance on his part that caused him to resent so bitterly the action of Christian three years aco In permitting his grandson, Charles of Denmark, to accept the crown of Norway, which had inn been from his head. Oscar even charged the late King Christian with having plHyed an active rolo in Kineering the tlnaaaatani which brought about the BTSkaraUaO of Norway from Sweden and the ejection of a Danish prince to the Norwegian throne, and it as but a sorry return on the part of Christian for his own generosity toward mi in IBS. This, it, a rorgotten hit of history, which was known tHty years ago. but which, though recalled by the KirC Oscar in private during the last two years of his and which known to a number or ScanlinavUn nra ami writers, notably old BJoraaterna Bjoraoon discussed th- matter with an than one has -i lost bight of In the of the career of i- Jate King of and in the discussions abroad of the situation created since in Scandinavia, by the development of Norway Into an Independent kingdom. Let me add that Oscar flgurcd in history under the pen name of "Ofcar Frederlax." and that one of his most and enrliist works was that on the Influence or sea power on war and international politics, a subject abseq.jently brilliantly developed by Captain Mahan.

John P. Peter Say He Didn't Instigate Resolution. The Rev. Dr. John P.

rector of aflehael's Church, at No. 25 West street, and one of the best Informed archseologlcal students In the country, returned to York last night from Philadelphia, where he attended masting of American Society of Biblical Literature and at which a resolution was adopted calling upon Dr. Hermann Vollrat Hllpreeht. of University of Pennsylvania, to make public reply to repeated charges that assertions made by him regarding discoveries were not well founded. Dr.

Peters explained to a Tribune reporter that press reports of meeting crediting him with i being behind the resolution were erroneous. didn't know of the resolution." he said, "until after It had been Introduced, referred to the committee and finally unanimously adopted by society. I had a committee meeting attend, and was rather glad It happened that way. because the resolution, no doubt, whs the outcome of on these so-called discoveries read by me and others. I do not know whether the action was taken In Philadelphia yesterday on the spur of the moment or not." The passage of the resolution followed discussions of Dr.

Hllprechfs announcements in the American Oriental Society and other bodies, as well as the publication of several works sad reviews. Dr. Hilprecht. who was In charge of the last two expeditions sent out by the Philadelphia university, reported that he had discovered tablets In what he tailed the Temple Library at Nippur. There were eleven in all.

and several of them now In the university museum. Dr. Peters, who was then connected with the archaeological department university, was In charge of the first two expeditions, organizing them and accompanying the scientists. "All the. tablets Dr.

Hilprecht alleges that he dug up," naJi Dr. Peters, had been, as a matter of fact, dug up by me or by Dr. Haynes. or had been purchased. In a paper I presented before the Oriental Society in 1906 I showed where each of the tablets came from, and not one came from the places stated by Dr.

Hilprecht." Dr. Peters said that Dr. Hilprecht was a member of this society, that had been Informed of the meeting and of the character of the paper that would be read by him. but he did not attend. The following year Dr.

Hllprechfs colleague. Professor Morris Jastrrw-. read a paper before the Oriental Society, and. Dr. Peters explained, went further into the subject and tried to show that no library had been found, and that there was no proper foundation for the claim of Dr.

Hilprecht. Mr. Jantrow'hnd further material. Dr. Peters said, and succeeded in placing the tablets more precisely than hitherto.

Again Dr. Hilprecht. who had been informed of the meeting and the character of the paper that would be read, was not present. this meeting." sad Dr. Peters, "there were present some sixteen of the best known Orientalists, Including President Oilman of Johns Hopkins, Professor Unman, of Harvard, and many others.

These sixteen men signed a letter, which was sent to Dr. Hilprecht. saying that charges had been made and calling upon him to make public answer to them. I did not slsn that letter, as I was not present at lisa meeting, and did not see It until later, but the understanding among the sixteen was that If Dr. Hilprecht did not answer they would make it public.

"Hllprecht replied to the letter, stating that he had a volume in the press at that time, and that it would answer the charges. This book did not appear until last winter. There was no answer, there was really nothing in it that properly bore on case. After waiting until every one bad had tim to read and digest the book, and after the criticisms had appeared, these scholars published the letter In The Symmetrical a publication of the University of Chicago, edited at that time oy President Harper. Before publishing the letter, however It Hllprecht was Informed and Invited to answer it 'v the same Issue.
