entire summer. in the pastures. along
the highways and along. the edges of
the forests, the wild variety grow and
bear with great abundance. There is
no export of fruit from Norway, and
very little finds its way to the city
markets. Strawberries and other
fruits are scarce and high at Chr
ia, Bergen, TrondhJem and other large
cities, because nobody raises more
than enough for his own use, and the
Norwegians are SO fond OF preserved
and canned fruits that the housewives
need all that grow in their gardens
for their winters supply. At every
meal we have no less chan three or
four kinds OF preserves, fruits offer
ed us, and the wild strawberries and
cream are worth coming all the way
to Norway for. The waiter does not

READY TO DROP MONEY ISSUE.
Ex-senator Pettigrew and Butler Talk
of Political Outlook.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 17.-R. F.
Pettigrew and Marion Butler, former
United States senators, were here
today from trip to Alaska. Mr.. Pet
tigrew spoke of the political situation,
saying:
THE political outlook of the union
.s uncertain. 1t is evident that the
money question has been settled for
the present, and the issues of the next
campaign will be the preservation of
our American institutions against the
the Republican party. Much depends
upon the leader chosen by the Dem
ocratic party. If d. b. Hill of New
York is nominated for president it
will mean the organization of third
party, and shall be one of its most
enthusiastic Supporters because the
election of Hill would mean a contin-
uation of the Hanna ideas of govern
ment"
Chairman Butler of the Populist ma
tional committee, said::
''The next campaign will be fought
on the trust issue, but it will have to
b" fight between the people and the
trusts. The Democrats and the Re
publicans will both condemn the trusts
hut II the matter is left in the hands
OF either 1t will rest there. The re-
markable increase in the output of
gold has eliminated the money ques-
tion. but if this increase keeps up
the Republicans will want to demon
etize gold. ! believe in the protec-
ton of American industries and the
application of this principle to North
Carolina is making it great state.

PITTSBURG. Aug. 17-It is believ-
ed this morning that the strike has as
sumed critical stage. The strik-
ers have determined to make strong
onslaught upon the Carnegie property
which thus far has been held away
from the strike efforts. 1t is whis-
pered, too, that the good order which
has generally prevailed will not last
much longer and considerable excite
ment is expected next week.
This afternoon the Milwaukee men
will decide whether or not they will
act with the strikers. 1t is expected
that they will. Then the Chicago
men will once more reconsider
their determination not to strike and
strong influences will be brought
to bear upon them
JOLIET, Aug. 17.-The city Is full

the lack of material will cause the

sociation to get the Joliet men to join

confident today that the Milwaukee
and Chicago mill men will eventually
join them. They think they can hold
the fort till the trust managers will h.
compelled to sue for peace. Within
the past few days the accessions to
the ranks of the strikers have num-
