France and Sweden Having Dispute
p Over a ,WrongIy-De livered Regis
tered Letter. = -
For two years the postal depart
ments of France and Sweden have
been exchanging communications in
an attempt to fix the responsibility for
the delivery of registered letter sent
from Stockholm to Paris. Sweden has
finally tired of the game and has made
a demand for arbitration, under the
Provisions of Article % of the uni
versal convention, and has named Aus
tria as it's arbiter. The French gov
eminent has not met the demand in a
proper spirit, and is opposed to any ar
bitration, taking the position that Swe.
den is clearly wrong, in it's contention.
The letter in question was sent to a
lady in Paris, but the address is said
to have been incomplete. The letter
was delivered to the wrong person,
who presented credentials which have
since been proved to be forged. The
French postal authorities have de.
clined to assume the responsibility for
the mistake, on the ground that it can
be assumed that they could not be ex-
pected to make good the mistakes of
the sender. On the Swedish side it has
been steadfastly maintained that there
was no authority for delivering the let
ter to the person who finally secured
it. And at this point the dispute has
been resting for about two years.

Dispatches from Stavanger, Norway,
say that Capt Sverdrup, who returned
last Friday from his arctic expedition
in the steamship Fran, mapped, while
he was in the north, an extensive, dis

longitude 10. He considers it prob

character as those already known,

England and Denmark, two neigh
boring Kingdoms, are closely allied In
more ways than one. The bonds Of
good feeling and fellowship have been
strengthened by the Anglo-Danish

great promise, started in Copenragen
some time ago. This club is situated
in a central position in one of the chief
thoroughfares. BY the Danes it is
known as "Det Engelske Senskab.'
The spacious saloons OF the club and

charming Society. It is furnished with
an excellent library, containing the
best English literature and all leading
English and American newspapers and
magazines. During the winter most
interesting entertainments are given,
either in the way Of music, lectures or
dancing, which contribute largely to
the popularity of the club. During the
summer it is visited by many English
and American travellers, coming to

Certain peculiarities In the construc.

some search, was discovered twenty
