unusually large amounts for dividends will
be distributed the first of January, which

NORwAY,s ALTERNATIVE.

THE political tangle In Norway
which for some time has Threatened TO
result In rupture between the Sean.
dinavian kingdoms has recently had n
new light shed upon It by correspond
ent from Stockholm, who asserts that
the Emperor OF Russia may eventually
claim possession OF Norway. He thinks
that although the Danish King 10 1873
renounccd all claims TO Norway for the
beneGso the Bernadotte dynasty, thi,
Pronunciation would DO invalid should
the people Of Norway sever their
connection with this dynasty.
Tho Emperor OF Russia carries
among his numerous titles also this,
Successor de Norvege, by virtue Of
his connection with the Danish royal
family, and Wis would indicate that,
should the union between Sweden ami
Norway he broken, the question Of
Russis's right to the latter country
would Mt least be open to discussion.
A Danish writer Fidicuies the Idea,
but the precedents In Europe give very
little room Tor hilarity, particularly In
Denmark. Germany's proceedings In
tho Sloewick.Holstein matter prove
that questions of succession based on
assumed rights by inheritance some.
times are serious enough for small
monarchios who arc unable to empha-
size their protests by gunpowder.
