Interesting Notes From Across the
Ocean.
HAPPENINGS IN THE FATHERLAND,
Principal Events that Have Occurred In
~. tho Old Countries About the
North Sea Within q Week
or So just Past.

The feeling of mutual hostility be-
tween the Swedes and the Norwegians
which for years has been so great as to
almost neutralize the benefits of the
political union, has been still farther
aggravated during the last few weeks.
10 an outsider it seems as though the
fate of the Firms might teach the peo-
pie of the Scandinavian peninsula to
settle their own quarrels in some shape
OR form, or else the Russian bear may
see chance to insert big claw where
it may complete the threatened split
tlng-up of the union, and some more
Scandlnavians may have to follow in
the wake of the Firms. But to an out
slider it is hard to see who is the most
to blame. All that may safely be done
is to point out the gravest grievances.
AS far back as 1895 the Norwegians
claimed that the SwedeA were about to
send an army of invasion into Norway,
but that the car of Russia interfered
at the critical moment. The Swedes
deny the assertion as energetically as
the Norwegians maintain it, and surely
that course will not settle the difficulty.
Skipping the deliberations and conten-
tions about the consular and the for
most recent events, we find that the
Crown Prince in an official document
used government" instead of ''gov-
ernments" in speaking for the two ma
lions. This was a signal for fresh
demonstrations, such as hooting and
throwing snowballs at the Crown
Prince and declining his invitation to
public dinner. These acts of gross dis
courtesy were purely Norwegian prod
ucts. Now comes the turn to the
Swedes- They first insinuated hesitat-
ingly, then stated boldly that the Nor
wegian government, clandestinely and
by means of railroad appropriations,
has strengthened the Notifications
along the boundary line. The Norwe-
gians deny it in chorus. But that is
not the way to settle the old quarrel.
Just at present an outsider gets the i'm
preston that certain parties on the pc
ninsula are trying to force the issue to
a physical clash, the nature Of which
can only be surmised.> In Norway even
the common people have been fretting
for years on account Of the union trou-
bles, while the great mass of the Swe-
dish people has taken the matter more
philosophically. But the latter may be
stirred up too if they are made to be-
lieve that the Norwegians are planning
an attack on Sweden! Fortunately the
chances are, however, that the average
Swede has too much common sense to
gulp down this sort of political food.
1t is a family quarrel, and in spite of
the threatening attitude of the parties
it may lead to a happy contamination.

A Nuisance.

Health Inspector White, of Winona,
has been notified that there are thou
sands of dead fish in the lake which
will have to be removed in some
manner in order to protect the health
of the citizens on the South Side. Mr..
White made an investigation. Nothing
can be done as yet, owing to the fact
that the ice is not yet out of the lake.

Lost His Horses,

James Mitchell, living eight miles
west of Vernon Center, hitched four of
his best horses abreast preparatory to
going to work, and, as was his custom,
drove them to the Watonwan river to
water. He drove them into the stream
a short distance, when they became
entangled in the harness and all four
were drowned, entailing a loss of about
$500 on Mitchell.

DENMARK.

LIE money market is exceedingly
stringent in Denmark on account of
the investment of millions of dollars
in manufacturing and commercial en-
terprises which require time in order
to bring any adequate returns.
The conservatives did not even put
up decent fight at the last city cleo
tions in Copenhagen, and this made
Politiken ''send up the following prayer
to the GODS" Give us conservative
party to fight against. Save us from
the misfortune which sacked the mar
row out of the conservatives-tob be-
come party which, being the only
one, sits down on soft cushions and
takes life easy because there is no
more work to do. Give our enemies
courage and strength, so that we our
selves may preserve and develop our
strength. This is the humble prayer
which we, the conquerers send up.
Fifty-four young men from Slesvig,
who are studying in Denmark, have
sent an address of thanks to DR.. Georg
Brandes for his magnificent magazine
article on the condition of the Danes
in the provinces annexed to Germany
in 1864.
The East India Trading company,
which was organized about a year ago,
is expanding at merry rate, and by
the end ofSthe year the carrying ca
pacity of the ships of the company will
be 100000 tons. BY way of comparison,
the Thingvalla steamers had an aggre-
gate capacity of 10000.
The supreme court has sustained the
sentence of the lower courts, sending
Mr.. Hansen. the engineer who was re-
sponsible for the Gentofte railway &C.
cident, to prison for a term of six
months.
The journeynen saddlemakers have
just finished a successful strike, the
masters having agreed to pay at least

The liberals and socialists have elect

of Copenhagen.
On March 20 the rigsdag closed it's

N. C. Fredericksen, of infelicitous
fame in the Chicago business world,
has written mastery article for Poll
tilxen on ''The Influence of the Drey-
fus Case Upon the Development of
France"
DR.. Rothe, in his farewell address as
editor-in-chief of the conservative Ber-
lingslxe Tidende, extends thanks to all
those: who are connected with the
paper except the publishers. There is
a;history back of this exception. Rothe
was expected to fight the battles of
capital against socialism. But he be-
came lukewarm, and finally came out
on the side Of the socialists. He soon
found himself in the role Of the under
dog. He had to go. And in stepping
out and off he treated his former en-
Fployers to a roast Of silence. This is
almost anarchistic. Nor does it tend
to mend matters that lie singled out
his successor, Mr.. Nathanson, for a
most hearty congratulation, and wish
that he may BE successful as Head Of
the editorial staff Of the paper. The
publishers are put. in an awkward 20
sition. They crowd out one man, and
the new man enters with the sympathy
and goodwill of his pred ecessor.

: Some sweeping amendments to the
game laws Of Norway have been pro-
posed. It's most radical feature is a
provision that the owner of the land
shall be the only one allowed to hunt.
# the amendments are passed, it is
evident that the great body of hunters
in the country districts will have to
give up hunting entirely on account of
being unable to pay as high rent as
city people who scour the country Just
Tor the fun of it. Many patriots think
1t would be unwise to adopt the amend
ments for the reason that it would re-
move great opportunity for the rising
generation to learn to handle firearms
with skill and accuracy. It may be
we'll to practice on the target, they
say, but hunting is far better train
ing for actual warfare. In this con-
nection it is emphasized that the re-
publlc OF Transvaal has succeeded in
malntaing it's independence chiefly be-
cause its citizens are splendid hunters.
The department of war is already
planning the organization Of bat
TALON OF wheelmen as a regular dlvis-
ion of the defensive forces of the coun-
try. 1t is likely that within a few
months some five hundred men will be
equipped for this service. The wheel
sport is so popular at present that
Kristiania alone is expected to furnish
that number of volunteers.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson is expected to
return to Norway from the south in
the latter part of this month.
Johan Halvorsen, of Bergen, has
been chosen musical director at the
National theater in Kristiania.
The Norwegian press club expected
to raise pension fund of 1927, 900 by
the year 1910. But bazaar held last
winter fetched about $4,000 in lump,
and there will be at least $27. 900 in the
treasury by the end of this year. The
club SO far has furnished aid to sick
and needy members. Now it is pro-
posed to pay pensions ranging from
$50 to $160 year to members who have
paid their dues for certain number of
years. The widows and children of
deceased members will come within
the scope of the pension provisions.
The prices of fish foods are very high
owing to the failure of the returns of
the cod and herring catch to come even
up to the minimum Of former years.
The managers of small dairy in
Hardangcr resolved to send no butter
to dairy on the basis Of the following
bit of reasoning: If we receive no
award, it would hurt us to send butter;
If we receive an award, our dairymaid
will ask for higher wages, which we
cannot afford: ergo, we resolve to send
no butter to the fair. The suspected
dairymaid now receives 1854 month
and light and fuel.
A factory for the man ufacture of
glass bottles will be started at Farvik.

SWEDEN.

A Finnish patriot says: "What makes
our fate as a nation so hopelessly bit
ter is the fact that in all Europe there
is not a single power which is sufi-
GENTLY influential to be able to speak
out in our defense. The will of the
autocrat breaks the law and tramples
upon sworn rights with brute force.
And so we must go to the bottom, to-
.gether with every thing which we have
been building up during past centu-
ries."
King Oscar has just visited Pau,
France, the home of the Bernadotte

department to the government, that of
agriculture, increasing the number of
members of the cabinet to eleven.
The Sundsvall commercial bank has

The number of vessels of ten tons or
more which entered or left the harbors
of Stockholm in 1898 was 81, 1884. having
a capacity of 4,750,O00 tons. The har-

Thirty acetylene gas works are in
operation in Sweden, and several more

Consul f. Wolff, one Of the 500 Fin
landers who went to st. Petersburg to
present to the car the great national
petition from Finland, made speech
when the delegation was refused adj
mission to the car. The publication
of the speech was prohibited in Fin
land, and it seems likely that the car
has not even heard of it yet, although
the delegation asked that it be placed
before his majesty. A Danish paper
contains the speech in full and states
that the car is going to hear it in
spite of the Russian politicians.
