Morse Singers mt Paris,

Work is being done in C%hristtarj.,
Norway, in forming a big male chorus
to sing Norwegian songs Mt the Paris
exposition. The exposition manage
ment is pleased with the idea and has
rendered the use Of the Trocadero
palace for three concerts. Special re-
quests have been made that Johan
Svendsen and liver Hotter accompany
the singers to personally direct tho
chorus during the public concerts. 1t
is likely that a large orchestra Will
also be formed. and if the plans sue
coed it will accompany the singers.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 21.-The impress.
sion that the contest over the governor
ship will not be ended until it is fought
10 a finish in the courts is not lessened
by the action taken by the Democratic
senators yesterday in ratifying their
former action by which Senator Goebel
vas declared governor. The Republic
ans who spoke for Gov. Taylor said he
would not recognize as legal the pro.
ceedings taken yesterday, and which
1t is anticipated will be duplicated in
the house to-day, but has told them
that he looks upon these proceedings
as illegal and will not quit the fight
antil the whole matter is passed on il,
the court Of last resort. His position
Is that the former proceedings being
void, the ratification yesterday gives
them no legal vitality, that the legal
presiding officer, Lieut.. Gov. Marshall,
had declared the session adjourned
when the vote in question was taken,
Ind that the vote should be taken by
years and nays, as in the case of Il bin
Or joint resolution. Negotiations to
settle the conflict between Lieut.. Gov.
Marshall and Senator Carter over the

has been reached so far. There is talk
among the Democratic senators of vot-

the senate to-day by yeas and nays.
The resolutions yesterday received the
support Of twenty-one senator's, two
more than q quorum.
The state contest board is expected
20 render a decision by Saturday seat
ing the Democratic contestants for
minor state officers. The Democratic
contestants will then be worn in and
will make a formal demand for pos
session Of the offices. This will be re-
fused by the Republican incumbents
and injunctions similar to those pend
ing in the courts v the g%overnorship
will be filed. The most important i'm
mediate effect Of this will be to tie up
securely every branch of the state gov

tests by the courts, as it is generally
regarded as certain that banks. county
officials and probably everybody else
who have financial business with the
state will refuse to recognize either set

Consul WinslOw Writes of That
Nations Merchant Marine.
From advance sheets Of the United
States consular reports are Cleaned
some interesting contributions by Edw.
D. Winslow, consul general ut Stock
holm. One of his latest reports is
lated Jan. 8, and treats Of the mer-
chant marine of Sweden, Of which Mr..
Winslow says:
Owing to the geographic position Of
Sweden, almost all articles Of inter-
change with foreign countries are con-
Keyed by sea. Calculated according to
value Of the entire import. 80 per cent
IS carried by Swedish vessels, 5 by
Norwegian, 80 by other vessels, and 4
per cent by land; while of the export,
~ per cent falls to Swedish vessels, z
10 Norwegian, 40 to other vessels and :
per cent crosses the frontiers. The
Swedish merchant service at present
numbers ZOOS steamers OF 277,492 tons
and LISA sailing vessels of 277,5S2
IONS.
The royal board Of trade superviscs
the merchant marine in this country,
and, in order to facilitate the shipping,
it has recommended and suggested
several reductions in the ordinary fees,
such as consular fees, fees for the reg
lister and record office of shipping and
seamen, fees for gauging ships, etc.
The materials used by the Swedish
ship and marine engine builders are. as
4 rule, manufactured at the Swedish
steel works, and Swedish MATERIAL
is always specified. Prices for steel
plates vary from 500 to 500 Il ton, and
the same apply to balks and L iron.
The timber and lumber used is gen.
orally Swedish, with the exception OF
teak and a few foreign woods OF ber-
ter class.
