country, and the royal visit, which has
been rumored as probability for some
time, now seems to be assured. Prince
Earl is the second son, of, King Oscar.
he is the idol of the Swedish people,
who call him ''den bloa prinsen" be-
cause of the cerulean color of the cav
airy uniform he. loves to wear. PIN
cess Ingeborg, his wife, is the daugh-
ter of the crown prince of Denmark,
and one of the stateliest of the royal
women of Europe. Prince Eugen is
the youngest son of King Oscar, in
tensely Swedish in sentiment and
genuine artist in temperament, a char
acter he inherits from his father.
Swedish-Amerlcans will royalty enter
tain their visitors, who expect to see
the far west before returning to Stock
holm. The date of their coming has
not been announced.
The liberaltity and humanity of the
American government toward the sur
vivor of the explosion on an American
steamer at Gaddvik has been much
commented on in Sweden. Charles
Anderson, the mate of the steamer was
born in Sweden, but has lived in the
United States for thirty-one years. For
two months he has been patient at
the Serafmer hospital in Sweden, ev-
cry expense being paid by the United
States government. He has been Wis
tied by the officials of the United
States legation and consulate, who
have furnished him with everything
he required to make him comfortable
and he has now, on recovery, been fur
nished with a ticket to Brooklyn, N. Y,
his home. Anderson lost all his cloth
ing, nautical instruments and large
sum of money. The injury he received
will make him partially an invalid for
life.

could only take the oath prescribed by
the laws Of the Finnish parliament. |

rage: Il am your law The colonel |
called together the officers
of the regiment, and it was decided
