SKATING SOLDIERS.
New branch OF Military Service In
Norway Hns Been Recently
Organized.

A letter recently received by prom
inent Norwegian-American resident in
Chicago from his old home saws that
the Norwegian army has lately organ
lied highiy-traiDed corps Of skaters.
The men are armed with repeating
rifles. They wear specially construct
ed skate evolved after numerous expert
menis with Various types. The heel is
SO shaped as to enable the men to turn
with great rapidity. AS n matter of
fact, they perform the right about"
III much quicker time than infantry,
spinning round as though on a pivot
at the word of command.
Ihe corps, says the Chicago Chron-
lcle, can be manuevered with a rapidity
equal to that of the best-trained cav
airy, and at a recent review-on one of
the tJords-their evolutions astonished
the military representatives of other
nations who were invited to witness
the display. ..
For patrol and scout duty they are
expected to be of the greatest use, as
the ice season in Norway is of consid-
cradle duration.
The men are the pick of skating ma
tion, and they are commanded by an
eN-ehampion. They are capable of tray-
cling 80 miles day OH the ice. fully

PLANTS HAVE TAKEN A REST.
Many That Disappeared Genera
tfonS Ago Have Come to-
- View. Again.

1t has been noted by close observers
that some 25 years ago, when the SEQ
lac Tor slag) produced by the ancient
''recEs in working the silver mines of
'"iWimur. near Athens, was removed in
'd@cr to be reworked by more efficient
..:odern appliances the seeds of kind
ii poppy of the genus glancinon, which
nad lain underneath the Stag in a dor
lat condition for at least SEQ wears,
si.:ang up again all over the uncovered
ground. Unknown. in. modern times,
lis plant was described in the first
century of our era by Dioscorides and
'ny and had disappeared from the
ace Of the globe for Is or 20 centuries.
The fact that these seeds should have
''e.ained their vitality so long seems
"r:y extraordinary, but there are other
:lstances quite. as remarkable. For in
-:ancc, raspberry seeds found in 1885
in an ancient tumulus, in coffin buried
q feet below the surface and believed
10 have been there since the second
century, were successfully planted.
knd in another case seeds of thelpoly-
,tonum convolvulus dug up from the
5ottom of n sand pit, where they were
aelieved to have been buried for 1000
years, were still vigorous and produced
healthy plants.

Attorney John A. Ward, one of the
popular members of the Philadelphia
bar, says the Inquirer, of that city, re-
calls at times an incident in one of the
courts which happened shortly after
hc had been admitted to practice law,
and which he tells with scarcely the
shadow of a smile. 1t was when court
was just opening for the morning ses-
sion that boy, sitting by his side,
heard the usual prayer made by the
crier. The lad seemed surprised, until,
as the last words were uttered by the
official, Ward, without thought as to
the result, punched the boy in the side
with his elbow and told him to say
Amen. Quick as n flash came the re-
sponsc from the boy in n tone of voice
that at first startled lawyers and spec
tators and disturbed the equilibrium
Of the presiding Judge.
When the instant Of astonishment
had passed men and women who were
present laughed lightly as all eyes were
directed toward the lad and Ward. "I
was too confused to do anything" saws
the latter, except to look in any dircc-
ton but at the youth, who seemed to
be appealing to me to know why every
body was looking at us. still say

AMONG |H[ SPOR1S
Agreement For a Fight Between
Champion Jeffries and Jim
Corbett Reached.
Not Believed. However, That It
Will Take Place Before Next
September.
Dixon and Lenny to Meet in the
Ring Tonight-Other
News.

| New York, Nov. 21.-The battle be-
tween Jeffries and Corbett win not be
decided before next September. This
portion of the details of the fight was
practically agreed upon by Manager
Brady and his big protege on Saturday
night. Brady, in speaking about the
battle. said that he would have signed
the articles of agreement and also
named date for the contest to be de-
| cided when he and Corbett clinched the
match on Friday, but as Jeffries in
jured his arm in his fight with Sharkey
he consequently thought he would have
talk with Jeffries first.
AS Corbett and Brady agreed on Fri
day to meet again for the purpose of
signing the articles, also naming a def
mite date for the battle, there is every
indication that all the arrangements
for this battle will be clinched satisfac-
torily
Il really don't think the fight will be
fought any earlier than next Septem-
ber," said Jeffries. This long delay
is caused by the severe injury to my
left arm which / received in my fight
with Sharkey. You see / can't bend my
fingers down to my shoulder. as l can
with my right arm and elbow. In my
fight with Sharkey / hurt my arm in
the first few rounds Of the battle and
| was unable to do any execution with
my left throughout the fight
Now, in regard to the opinion which
some persons have that Corbett will be
the easiest mark which l have mad in
some time, let me just say that Corbett
will give me a more troublesome and
harder battle than any fighter has yet
given me. not even barring Fitzsim-
mons and Sharkey. Corbett is a re-
markedly clever man, a good ring gen
eral and extremely lively on his feet.
Sharkey, I think, is an easier man for
me to beat than Corbett. My reason for
saying this is not for the purpose of un-
derrating Sharkey as a pugilist-for he
is wonderful fighter-but just because
have fought him twice and know his
style thoroughly.
The fight between George Dixon and
Eddie Lenny, which will be decided at
the Broadway Athletic Club tonight,
has developed into a big betting affair.

be a world heater, and are wagering
their money at 20 to 100 that the Penn
sylyanian will capture the decision.
Should Lenny win he will challenge
Ben Jordan of England to meet him in
three weeks. Dixon is in excellent
shape, and believes that, barring an ac
cident, he will win.
All details have been arranged for the
battle between Jack O'Brien and Frank
Erne for the lightweight championship,
scheduled to take place at the Coney
Island Sporting Club Dec. a. Both man
ayers of the principals objected to
George Siler as referee, but O'Brien,
who has high opinion of Sller as a
referee, insisted upon the western man
acting in that capacity. John T. Dough-
erty, manager of O'Brien, finally con-
scented TO this and said that he did not
anticipate any trouble in rendering a
decision, as he is confident Erne will
not last the limit with his protege.

THE HOLLAND BOAT.
Naval Experts Report Advises Cow
eminent to Buy II.

New York. Nov. 21.-"I report my be
lief that the Holland is a successful and
veritable submarine torpedo boat, cap
able of making a veritable attack upon
an enemy unseen and undetecrable, and
that. therefore, she is an engine of war
fare of terrible potency which the gov
eminent must necessarily adopt into
its service.
Capt. John Lowe, of the board of in
spection Of the United States navy thus
closes his report on the trial of sub
marine boats. of his personal observa-
lions Capt. Lowe says:
Concerning the worse than worth
lessness of the present aboye-water
torpedo system its methods, theories
and appliances, the need for deliverance
from its absurdities and from the fools
paradise of it's false security, and in
stead of the absolute need of a real tor
pedo system, such as the submarine
system. / have already reported under
date of Nov. IA, 1898.
II would like to give further reasons
why a submarine service should at once
be organized as matter of public ne
cessity and security.
In the first place we must concede
that, Notwithstanding The Hague con-
ference, the time has not yet arrived for
nations to disarm. on the contrary,
that nation which is not ready to fight,
that ceases to use the most frighful APP
pliances when war is made, has already
placed itself in position of inferlority,
and has ceased to possess those valua-
BILE attributes which are we'll described
in the term manhood. Such nation is
already in the position OIL China, a prey
to the weakest and the most rapacious,
and disturbance to all the rest of
mankind.
IF, then, we propose to fight, we
must fight with every fighting appli-
ance, and therefore if there is anything
valuable in submarine torpedo warfare
we must not permit our hands to be
tied behind our backs by any Hague
conference or pusillanimous humanita-

chicago Iron and stool Mark ct.

Chicago Iron and steel Mark ct.
Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Iron and Steel, the
organ of the western iron trade, today
says:
Influences in iron and steel this week
are somewhat mixed, but in the main
are conducive to continued strength. So
vigorously upward have prices gone
steadily throughout the year that some
products We're out of line. A few were
too far in advance and several became
self-constituted rear guard. The clos
ing period of the year is approaching
and manufacturers are in a way begin
ming to put their affairs for 1899 in or
der. There is not the eager buying with
which the trade has long been familiar.
This is permitting realigIment of val
ueS and restoration of prices to nor
NAL relationship with each other. For
many months the extreme scarcity of
billets has forced prices above those of
rails and also made the spread between
Bessemer pig iron and billets excessive.
The recent benign Indian summer
weather is metaphorically the atmos-
pheric condition of the iron and steel
trades and is slowly aiding in the read
justment of values. Pig iron is at least
q dollar higher in the east. Billets are
a shade easier and therefore nearer
their proper relationship to rails and to
pig iron.
The furry in sheets does not seem
to have spent It's force. Values are ir
regular, but about on the same plane as
week ago. No new Interpretation of
the conditions existing in that product
as separate and apart from the general
trade has come to light. the explana-
ton offered consisting of the differences
growing out of the unsuccessful COM
bination of mill owners and an old time
contest to fill up the order books Of the
mills by the old practices of keen COM
petition.
Locally the unsatisfactory condi-
tons prevailing in the building trades
are to a certain extent unfavorably af-
fecting the markets for structural
shapes, sheets and other forms of iron
and steel entering into building con-
struction. the conditions in these prod
ucts being less satisfactory at Chicago
than generally throughout the west :
Otherwise trade seems generally ia
vorable. The consumptive demand is
large and shows no abatement save
that which is usual a this period of the
year. Among various manufacturers
there has been noticeable hesitation
about buying for the future in the light
of the softness in sheets, but the opin-
ion seems to be that this is confined to
the smaller consumers and that among
the larger uses no decrease In the trad
ing for future deliveries is noticeable
Mills are generally sold we'll ahead
into next year, and whether prices are
in the near future to show something of
la decline or to again squirt upward
when the spring demand sets in APP
pears to be an open question. AS near
~ as can be perceived the resultant of
all conditions seems to favor good,
strong market for most products.

rianism forbidding such appliance.
I'VE have distant dependencies, tn

rianism forbidding such appliance.
We have distant dependencies, the
Philippines, Hawaii and the like. Will
an enemy seek to bring us to terms by
attacking these? Perhaps so. But if
SO the move would be weak one, ex-
ceedingly weak. Let us not deceive
ourselves. Any powerful enemy would
not play at war after that fashion
They would strike us in the vitals. An
eight-day dash across the Atlantic
would bring their ships to Montauk
Point, where they would encounter the
American fleet, which being destroyed
by force of numbers. the remainder of
the enemy's ships could pass on and
anchor in Long Island Sound in per-
feet security. and very shortly Long
Island would become a foreign possess
sion.
do not consider this scheme fan
ciful one; it is not original to my mind.
So many have spoken of it, that am
satisfied it has been considered and d.
gested in foreign councils and is part
of their program. Our last Spanish war
convinced me that our own people were
at that time awake to this fact, for we
saw the army diligently terrifying
against what?-phantom ships. In our
next war it won't be phantom ships,
for there are at least two nations
which can do this single-handed.
we need right off and right now fiji
ty submarine torpedo vessels in Long
Island Sound to preserve the peace and
to give potency to our diplomacy.
1t seems to me quite a necessity that
this government should not allow this
skill and knowledge of those owning
and running the Holland boat to pass
out of its own hands from native to
foreign lands, but should forestall such
a catastrophe by at once purchasing
the Holland and putting the Holland
people under some ban whereby they
will be prevented from disclosing Sc
crets to the disadvantage Of the United
States.
How keenly foreign governments
are alive to the Holland I have shown
in my facts herein reported concerning
the presence of foreign officers upon
her.
