The king made a trip to Gudbrands-
dalen and large throngs were gathered
at many of the railway stations to
manifest their loyalty by singing and
cheering and throwing a profusion of
flowers at his majesty. These demon

termination of the king to observe
the letter of the constitution of Nor
way in regard to the PRONUNCIATION of
the dag law.
DENMARK.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson spoke at an
agricultural convention in Gansdal,
saying in part: 1.-THE economical adj
vantage of such a convention is per-
haps the most important. But there
is another. namely, the sense of honor.
1t is this element with which the farm
ers of Denmark are imbued. And it is
from the peoples high schools that the
sense of honor has trickled down into
the minds of the people. They are
now struggling energetically to make
their country the first one in Europe,
and the different settlements are COM
peting for supremacy. This is ambi-
ton, and there is power in it. 1t is
this that we arc yet lacking in Nor
way, but it is bound to come. This is
the new kind of bacteria that must be
cultivated and which must give US
fresh speed"
About IT'S Danish subjects were ex-

Copenhagen, Aug. 3.-One more step
toward peace between Copenhagen's
employed and employers was made
last evening when the directors of the
trades unions affected by the lockout
of building trades employees, following
the examples of the presidents, ac-
cepted the compromise negotiated with
the president of the employers union.
The end of the lockout seems, there
fore, to be now matter of but few
days.
The municipal government of Hjor-
ring is about to erect gas and water
works. But no money institution in
the city can furnish the necessary
funds. and only one concern, life in
surance company. can furnish the
money as early as the middle of Janu-
airy, 1900. A Copenhagen firm may
possibly furnish the money, but the
rate of interest will be higher than
usual. This case illustrates the gen
eral stringency of the Danish money
market.
The carpenters union has taken
steps to establish a cooperative sup
ply depot and factory in case the lock-
out is not settled in the near future.
An electric wire set fire to the rail-
road shops at St. Jorgens, Copenhagen
and great damage was done. The fire

ferred to is now recognized as the

FINLAND.
Those one thousand European au-
thors, artists, scientists, statesmen, ed
ucators, etc, who made an unsuccess-
full attempt of personal appeal to the
car in favor of Finland seem to have
left the Russian government in an ugly
mood The Russian minister of for
eign affairs has forwarded an unofficial
complaint to several European govern
ments because officials in their respect
i've countries tried to interfere with
the internal government of Russia
At least one government needed the
warning. The Austrian minister of
education administered severe re-
buke to all Austrian university pro-
fessors who signed the international
address to the car in favor of Fin
land. The muscovite is getting to be
big man in Europe, evidently.
The Russian minister of war has
asked for a squad of mounted gen.
darmes to patrol the city of Helsing-
fors. The purpose of this move is not
mentioned. 1t cannot be for the pur-
pose of maintaining public order, for
Helsingfors is now more quiet than
any other city of its size under the
wide week.-mrs. span.
