assistance given by the government
was not large, being about 400 crowns.
which is equivalent to about $40 in
our money. and the reports are made
to the College of Commerce, a govern
ment institution. Most Of these me
chanical missionaries whose reports
are published write from Germany,
but there are some interesting papers
from the United States. particularly

wood. working machinery. 1t would be
an excellent idea if the government Of
the United States could send practical
mechanics to foreign countries on sim

tice many important features that
would be overlooked by people who
have rot been educated to trade.

swedish Premier 7. Hopeful.

Premier Erick Gustav Bostrom IL
distinctly hopeful that the differences
between Sweden and Norway will soon
be dispelled. In an interview with the
correspondent of the Associated Press
he said he was fully convinced that
the worst was over. and that the Nor
wegians, both politicians and people,
were beginning to realize that their de-
mands could not be granted If the
union was to be maintained. Sweden,
the premier added. was quite willing to
meet her neighbor half way, and had
already offered to settle the question
Of a foreign minister on equal terms.
Regarding the alleged Russian spies
said to have been e about Swedish
Notifications, the premier said the
government had thoroughly investigat-
ed the matter, and found the supposed
spies were only Russian workmen.

Washington, Feb. THE new treaty
with Great Britain relative to the
building of the Nicaragua canal was
received by the senate yesterday and
was read in executive session. Sena-
tor Davis, chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, moved to make
the treaty public, as it was a subject in
which all were greatly interested, but
after some discussion it was decided
to refer the matter to the committee
on foreign relations before taking that
step. The comments of senators upon
the treaty after hearing it read, were
favorable. 1t is said to allow the
United States all the authority that
was needed and the neutrality Of the
canal and guaranteed as was the lei
trality of the Suez canal.
