stjerne Bjornson, the noted writer, Is in
trouble, and the whole of Scandinavia
is stirred up over a scandal involving
the pillars of Norwegian society and
political life. In 1885 Herr Richter
minister Of Norway, after Il bitter po

That Richter's suicide was caused
by political reasons no one doubted
and rumors We're many. insinuatine
that either Sverdrup or Bjornson. the
leaders of the party opposed to Richter
had had a hand in the affair.
In fact, it was generally talked OF
that Sverdrup. by acquiring possession
of very compromising papers, had fore
ed Richter to self destruction.
Sverdrup went to his death with that
accusation still improved, and 1t Is the
efforts of his children to clear their ia

the door from the cabinet room opened,
and in came the president. 4 am not

to the word. he took Senator Bard over
into the window and had considera-
BILE talk with him.
MIR. Cortelyou beckoned to me to

Atlanta, Feb. 1S.-The state depart

mate of 1,30O,O 900 bales for the Georgia
cotton crop despite the assertion in
many quarters that it Will reach 1,500,-
900 or 100000 bales or thereabouts
1t was last August that Commission.
- o. B. Stevens gave out an estimate
that the Georgia crop would not go
over 100000 bales. The Georgia re-
eeipts up to date are about 125 900
bales ahead of the same date last
year. but they have already begun to
fail of rapidly in comparison with
last year. Last years total receipts
were 1926 900 bales.
we stand by our estimate Of ! :
100000 bales" Colonel Stevens said
yesterday. There may be $4,000 bales
more, though / hardly think So But 1t
Will not go beyond that amount at the
outside. | have watched the crop
closely and from my observations and
tho port receipts, l am satisfied this
will prove close to correct. Every.
thing has been favorable to the gath.
oring OF the crop and it came on bet.
ter than was expected. While the re.
ceipts now are considerably ahead OF
what they were last year, they are
now beginning to run behind what
they were last year at the rate OF
about $4,000 bales a week"
