Norwegian Vessels Thus Spoken Of
by All English Paper. -" "
Norway is greatly: excited over the
attack of the London Daily News Oh
her merchant marine, and resents q
great many statements regarding the!
seaworthiness of Norwegian vessels,
which the News speaks of as Floating
collins" 1t is represented in Capt.
Maguns Andersen's paper, Norsk So
jafartastidende. that the article is un.
just and unfounied. Attention is
called to the fact that while English
vessels follow established routes. a ma.
jority of the Norwegian vessels are
what is known as "tramps," seeking.
cargoes and commissions in every port
in the world, their navigation being
constantly in more or less unfamiliar
waters and harbors. The percentage
of loss of vessels-6:39 per CENTS said
to be not excessive. in spite of the 1-2
per cent loss Of British vessels in 1850.
Still, it seems to be admitted, even in
Norway, that the Norwegian masters
and mates are not as well prepared,
nor the schools as we'll equipped as is
the case in other countries. They are
taught navigation, but not seaman.
ship and questions of lading and sta
bility. The students are not mature
enough, neither arc t.!ey required to
have sufficient practical experience.
In other words, the Norwegian naviga-
ton schools are not up to date.

CONsULs OF NORWAY.
The Norwegian Government Agrees

The NOrwegfan Government Agrees
to Push the Proposition.
DR.. Sigrud Ibsen has been directed
by the Norwegian ministry to prepare
q motion for separate Norwegian
consular service; plan for the or.
ganization of such a service, and also
a motion for q budget for the proposed
department. Dagebladt, the govern
ment organ, assures the public that
this step Is an indication that the gov
eminent will push the proposition for
separate consuls.
OriginallySit was the Liberal party,
known colloquially as tho Left. tina,
agitated the question of Norways own
consular service independent of any
connection with the Swedish govern
ment. While Norwegians are frequent,
ly given places under the present ar.
rangements, the Norwegians have
contended that the department is
wholly in the control of the Swedes,
who favor! their own country wherever
possible.
Inasmuch as the Norwegian COM
merce is much greater than that Of
Sweden, the charges of discrimination
has made the Norwegians hostile.
Holding fast to their old principle that
they are a sovereign people, the Nor
wegians have gradually accepted. the
Liberal contention that they can with.
draw their support from the presen,
joint arrangement and appoint their
own consuls with or without the sane
ton Of Sweden. Just how the ministry
will proceed has not yet been, made
known. but is is apparent that some-
thing decisive will be done during the
coming session. of the storthing. 10
