WOMEN ELECTORS IN NORWAY
Experiment Seems likely to Prove
Great Success.


In Norway the women have for the
first time taken part in the municipal
elections, for. according to the new
law. any Norwegian of the male sex
is a municipal elector. and this with
out the payment of any tax. 1t is to
correct the liberalism that the electoral
qualification has been given to wom-
an. which qualifications apply to any
unmarried woman. the tax being 300
crowns in the country and 400 in the
city. Further. all married women are
electors whose husbands are taxed
from 300 to 400 crowns. and thus to-
tai of 100000 women have become
municipal electors, comprising therein
the women of all classes. working
women and women of the middle
classes as well as those of the highest
social group. Not only are the women
electors, but they are also eligible for
election, and. in consequence. the
municipality of Bodo has elected Mr.
and Mrs. Aspelund. and Christlania has
two women councillors in the munich
pal assembly.-Publlc Opinion.

with Total Membership of 1,539,-

Rates Has Hurt the Associations to
Some Extent.
Put-in-Bay. o.. July 2s.-The tenth
annual meeting of the United States
League of Local Building and Loan
Associations began here to-day with a
good attendance. President G. H. Kost-
mayer of New Orleans made his an
nual address.
Secretary H. F. Cellarius of Cincin
natl submitted his annual report.
The report OF Secretary %ellarius
contained the following:
A slight increase in the total mem
bership, with small decrease in the
aggregate assets. is the showing made
by the Local Buildings and Loan AS
sociations of the United States during
the past year. There are now in the
United States 1902 local Building and
Loan Associations, with a total mem
bership of 1883, 1913 and assets amount
ing to $685.. 1897 1865. In most of the
states these associations have about
held their own, although the reduction
of the interest rate for the past few
years has had a tendency to bring
back money loaned out by them at
higher than existing rates, and asso-
Citations unable to make desirable
loans have returned some of the idle
accumulated funds to their stockhold-
ers, causing a decrease in their assets.
Building Loan Association Supervisors
in a number of states have agreed that
the associations were not sufficiently
prompt in meeting the reduced inter-
est rate and that, as result, they
have lost some profitable business.
The situation in Illinois and Missouri
has been materially improved, al
though these states still continue to
show rather heavy decreases in assets,
Illinois having declined a little over
$4,000,000 and Missouri about 100000
during the past year. In Ohio several
large building associations reorganized
as trust companies. Substantial in
creases in assets were made last year
in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Ne
braska.
The total expenses of operating the
associations, was little over $1,000 900
making an expense rate of less than
l per cent. to assets. The receipts for
1901 including cash on hand Jan. 1,

CASUALTIES IN PHILIPPINES.

Our Total Losses 139 Officers and
4,O16 Men Killed or Died of Dis
ease, and 100 officers and 2,7O7
Men Wounded.
Washington, July 23.-Maj. James
Parker of the adjutant generals Of
flee has compiled some interesting
statistics regarding the instruction
In the Philippines. 1t appears that
there were 1851 engagements with the
enemy, more or less serious, between
Feb. 4, 1885, which is the date of the
battle of Manila. and April 30, 1902,
fixed as the virtual downfall of the
instruction. The larger proportion of
these fights were attacks from am
bush on the American troops or Skin
mishes in which only small detach-
ments took part.
In almost no case in these engage
ments," says Maj. Parker, did Amer
| lean troops surrender, or have to re-
treat, or have to leave their dead and
wounded in the possession of the en-
envy, notwithstanding that in many
cases the percentage of loss was high. .
The number of troops that have been
transported to the Philippines and
have arrived there up to July 16, last,
was Ass officers and 123,S03 men. The
average strength taken from monthly
returns for the period of the insurrec-
ton was approximately 10000.
Maj. Parker summarizes the casual
ties OF the American army as follows;
The Casualty summary.
Killed or died of wounds, 60 officers
and 1856 enlisted men: deaths from dis

deaths from accidents, officers and
