NORWAY IS SPUNKY.
Rumored That She Il Trying to
"Scareo Sweden

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 30.-Conster
nation has been caused here at the
rumor that the Norwegian govern
ment intends to mobilize it's military
force as a menace to Sweden. The
reported action seems to have arisen
out of the long existing desire of
Norway for autonomous rule, with a
foreign minister of her own and con-
suls abroad.
1t appears that the recent negotia-
lions between the two countries anent
the joint consulate have broadened
the already wide breach between
them, and Norway is said to have
been goaded to evaporation by Swed-
ish taunts at her helplessneess till
she has undertaken this means to
show her teeth, at least.
The Norwegian papers are consid-
erably agitated over the rumor and
most of them take pains to deny that
any such action is contemplated.

PRINCESS CHIMAY.

PARIS, Jan. 30.-Princess Chimay
has broken out again. The Ameri-
can colony-the colony that was once
proud to receive but now will not rec

talk is in whispers, for it is not
well to mention her name aloud.
This time it Is said that she has
tired of her gypsy lover, Rigo, and
is about to supplant him with a rich
Spaniard, with whom she has been
seen much of late. The Spaniard is
rich and powerful, and the princess
must have riches and power. She ID

demanded from the negro servant in
the house an account of his wifes
doings during his absence, but the
negro was loyal to her and refused to
tell what he knew. Rigo brutally
assaulted the negro and beat him into
insensibility. Then he had him ar
